LinkedIn is NOT just another social media platform! Lately, I’ve noticed LinkedIn inboxes flooded with irrelevant messages, from generic pitches to conversations that don’t add value. LinkedIn is a professional networking space, not just another social media platform. Let’s use it to build meaningful connections, share insights, and collaborate. Before sending a message, ask yourself: Is this relevant and respectful of the other person’s time? To everyone here: let’s call out such behavior and set an example by keeping this platform professional and welcoming for all. Together, we can maintain LinkedIn’s purpose. #StayProfessional #LinkedInEtiquette #Respect #LinkedIn

How to Transform LinkedIn from Tedious to Thrilling? During my recent speech at Sergek Group event for IT specialists at Nazarbayev University on leveraging LinkedIn for IT professionals, a compelling question arose: “How do we cope with LinkedIn being the most tedious social network?” Many find LinkedIn boring, especially when compared to Instagram or TikTok. However, LinkedIn’s perceived tedium often stems from mismatched goals. If your aim is to entertain or showcase your fun side, LinkedIn might seem dull. But if your objectives include job hunting, networking, or selling, LinkedIn is unparalleled. Consider LinkedIn as a tool you haven’t fully mastered yet. Dive deeper, refine your strategy, and you’ll discover its true potential. What are your tips for making LinkedIn more engaging? Share in the comments! Thanks Shugyla Sagynbekova for this foto. And please switch off your imposter syndrome, you just have no ground for it. Thanks Assel Kuzhakhmetova for inviting me. I really had fun 🤩 #LinkedIn #LinkedInTips

"I post three times a week and I get nothing from LinkedIn." Ok so you post, but what else are you doing? 🤷🏼♀️ Are you getting involved in others' conversations? Are you adding new connections? Are you sliding into people's DM's...👀 In a non-sleazy way of course. 😉 Because if you're just posting, then it's going to be about as effective as screaming in an empty room! In order for LinkedIn or any other social media platform to work for you, you need to focus heavily on social networking! FACTS! What do you focus on when you're on LinkedIn, the content creation, or the connections? #SocialNetworking #Connections #LinkedIn #SocialJems

LinkedIn is by far my favorite social media platform. I used to HATE it. Avoided it. Didn't log in for months and months. Maybe only checked in twice a year. What didn't I like? 🛑 To start, I didn't like the posts. They were impersonal. They were typically giving me bullet points about various business strategies or elements of business that I didn't care about. 🛑 From a standpoint of "what can I post?" I didn't feel I had anything of value, and wasn't a "subject matter expert" about anything that would matter to my audience. 🛑 The whole idea of connecting felt... intrusive. Why do I LOVE it now? 💡 I suppose my network is better curated, so the posts I now see are more relevant to my interests in advertising, marketing, eLearning, children's media, and political campaign strategies (I know, a very diverse list, right?). 💡 I truly enjoy getting to know people! I read their profiles, learn about their education, work history, and get to see the path they took to get where they are today. People are amazing! Today, I read someone's profile where they professed to enjoying the act of growing their collection of house plants. You know what? So do I!! (My husband laughs every time I go to Costco and bring home another plant. My favorite plant is my swiss cheese plant.) 💡 Connecting with people on LinkedIn gives me hope. Networking shouldn't be self-serving. It should be ALL-SERVING, meaning, you're approaching people because you genuinely have an interest in them, their work life, their successes, and their struggles, and how you can help them. Seriously. Everyday, I get to read the profiles of truly incredible, motivated, genius, and creative humans, who have some of the coolest jobs and careers! If I'm lucky enough, they'll connect and reply to my message and chat with me... because I am excited to get to know those people! #linkedin #networking #relationships #marketing #socialmedia #digitalmarketing
