Transcripts

1. Introduction and Course Layout: I have a one smaller cone growth centered. In this course, we've been covering LinkedIn marketing tips that you should know to succeed on LinkedIn. In this course is mainly divided into two parts. The first part we will cover how computer code LinkedIn profile and how to use basic tools of basic features of LinkedIn. And part two covers tips that you need to know to succeed with LinkedIn marketing. Let's get started with part number one. 2. Why you should create a company profile?: This is our next to a new and LinkedIn Marketing at. In this video, we'll be covering why creating company profile will help you with LinkedIn marketing. Company profile can be helpful both when you're looking at quality accompany and you want to do the marketing for it. It will be also had put for your own brand marketing. For example, you don't have a company and you yourself, water content leader or New York cell won't do become a Linkedin influenza or just someone who's posting on LinkedIn, then also creating a company profile can be helpful for you. In a case that to yourself want to be posting and you don't want to create a company, then you can clear the company profile from your own name or from the name of whatever you are posting the content under. These more it takes can be done. Now talking about why CLI you take a company profile will be creating accompany DO file can be helpful in multiple ways. Number one is that you can post all your posts from your company profile. Number two, you can create a hashtag based in accompany profile, and you can use it on your own profile as well as your companies. You can post a similar content from both the account. So in this way, it can get much higher rates because it's being posted both in accompany account as well as your poststratum count. And gaining followers and accompany account is also very easy. It's not as difficult as getting followers on your personal account. With accompany accounting might be working with multiple people in your organization. But each of them will have this profile in this company mentioned in the profile when you are connecting to go and view your profile. And if defined your company to be interesting, they might follow. Point number two on why Clinton company profile will be helpful. Adding a company provided is one of the easiest ways to add a link to LinkedIn. In this way, you just have to add a link to the option on your company Profile Editing be shown to have deep assets call to action on evidence versions account when they put their company profile, it'll be much easier to access it then putting the link anywhere in your profile. This is number two on why you should create a company profile. Then once you post a picture from a personal account, you can go and give it a light company profiles as well. This will boost the ridge. This is also helpful with the alcoholic commandment that each 3. Linkedin's Algorithm: In this we're dealing with recovering will kill about linkedin and courtroom and what kind of content it promotes and buy it promotes that kind of content. Initially, when you post a picture, LinkedIn science it, a quality score is based on link that's at Gotham, and this predicts how well the post will do. Now, LinkedIn promotes that post in front of a few of your followers are few connections or a few portion in a group if your group members, and then the response that the body gets from them. If the React and engagement at post, the comment on it, they share the post or the light post. Then linkedin finds that the quality score increases and Linkedin gets to know that the postal of high-quality and it needs to be shown on multiple files. Then LinkedIn started showing that both two more profiles, that shows two more connections of yours, connections of those connections with light your posts. And this keeps going on. Then no one likes her post initially. And let's say the first one or two hours, then England gives it a bad quality score and then almost stops promoting it. Very few of your connections are very few of your followers will see it. Even if it gets a few lakes later on, the reach will be substantially lower than if you had caught, gotten those likes. Devi, short one or two hours. This is very important. This is something that you should know. 4. How to make your content go viral: So a lot of people have this question or have this misconception that they needed a lot of followers on LinkedIn to make the content provided. Now, you do actually need a certain number of followers to be able to make your content covalent. But that's it on four hundred, five hundred, which anyone uses. Linkedin even passively has. Even if you're not active on LinkedIn and you may not have even number of followers, but you should be having them if you've already been using connect in a bit. Now, even if you have 50 thousand followers, but only a few of the helix, that's it, 2030 of them and engaging with the content, you'll not have a less chance of your content coin virus hit on it. If you have 500 people or a 100 of them are engaging content, then you will have a chance that your content will go wider. Doors people are engaging with their content, they finding a content relevant. Now, in case of the 50 thousand followers, if only 2030 of them are liking your posts, stamp the post is being shown to the rest. A lot of more people that are post-Snowden relevant for it's such a case, there will not be liking that post. And so the engagement or the virality will not increase. This will not be causing the problem. You want to make sure that the community or the network you're building is the elevated to the cortex by posting, of course, connect with people that you know that had not been budgeting personally. You can also connect with those people are not saying Stop connecting with people that are not relevant to you. And just saying build a network that can relate the content you're posting so that you can grow your network mode. 5. LinkedIn Marketing Must knows: In the next few reduce, I'll be giving you some tips on how to do LinkedIn marketing better and easier, relevant and helpful for you in both cases, whether you are marketing to accompany account or a personal account. Tip number one, he's at video and images do not get very high rates on LinkedIn. So you should try and avoid using them unless the post is very attractive at something that is out of the box, in which case people might engage with it, might react to it, and might find it interesting enough to share, comment. And like, if it's not, not cope or images or videos, unless you can guarantee an initial idea. If you can get a lot of likes organically, inorganically, first few hours if we think your post has a high chance of going widen, if it's some sort of celebration, then you might want to go with an image or video, otherwise, stick to text. Text does much better on LinkedIn. And that's what most influences use for talking about texts. You don't want to confuse it. This with LinkedIn articles. Linkedin articles almost get the dead. They get most node action. If you post linkedin article, you'd get very, very few attributes. You should stick with a normal LinkedIn text posts and not code for an article. Things that each will be very, very less as compared to post. You would might get Hire views on a video or limit. Then you would call regular LinkedIn article. 6. How to create a successful post: In this video, we'll be covering a few more tips. So let's get started. Getting early engagement on LinkedIn is crucial for successful feel post. Build a network that is active and your content should be relevant to the network that you're building. If you're doing that, the success of your posts will increase by a lot because the host is relevant to your network and you have a, I've been building the network. Network will be gradually increasing as you postmortem. Remember that you should not be posting too often In C, you should do even if you're both sides being successful, you should not imposing too often because you are increasing the network. Every port should do. People will start muting your posts or people start buying following you. Find your costs are not relevant to them. Or even a particular bolstering not relevant to them for the desktop them. They might still new to you because of post-doc to frequent. Want to have good control between the frequency of posts supposed to do to three times a day that's more than enough. Don't cough or more posts. Talking about early engagement, using these things would also be helpful in early engaged. One, don't forget to use hashtags, but also don't overuse them. Six to eight hashtag or more than enough. If you use more hashtags than that, your post will look spammy, then people will ignore that post. If you don't want to use more than 6000 hashtags, that's more than point number two, if you are using a company account to make this post, and if you have employees, then do not forget to do this thing. This is an option called notify all employees. If you click on this option after posting a post, it will send a notification that you have posted this post on the company account to all employees that are working in that company. If you have a good number of employees, this can increase your engagement by a lot. Even if a fraction of them coeliac to that post, all their connections will be able to not call it, but a good percentage of the connections will be able to see that they have reacted to this image and it will spread. Success of your image will depend a lot on the early engagement. So you might want to notify employees and tell them that you have posted this to the company profile. By doing this, it's only possible ones for 24 hours. So make sure you know how to find them the best post if it posting multiple of ten throughout the day. 7. Identify when your audience is most active: The next step is you need to identify when your audience is most active. Now you might have to do this by trial and error method. So over a period of weak used post on different timings and see when you get the most views or when you get the most engagement. This will help you identify at what time your audience is most active and on which days. Once you've identified this, try this again, next week. And the next week too, that this will help you identify that what you've analyzed is correct and that you should continue with the same tilings. Now that you've started posting on the same timings, your engagement and your use will continue to increase. And this will help your content, which will help with the success of their content. And it will be seen by more people. Now that we know that you have started posting content, something that would be helpful are using features like open DOAC, open to business that I am highlighting. These will be helpful as people when you're posting, people would come and view your profile. But when they see are posted, now if you are hiring for a position might apply to it. If it opened to business, they might come up with some potential synergies that you can explore. Third, if you are open to work, they might be hiring for a position that they think you're a good fit for and they may approach you for that. Just keep these banners on. Any of them is relevant to you. And you might potentially find a connection, but it might potentially find some synergies between you and a person who's seeing a post. These banners can be very helpful. And I've personally heard of people who have founded by others to be helpful with the job search called where they're heading. To definitely choose the features that LinkedIn provides. 8. Publishing valuable content: In this video, we were talking about publishing content that provides value to your audience and why it's important. We've covered a bit about this previously, but I wanted to create a separate video on this. To emphasize on this point, need to create and publish content that is relevant to your audience, to the connection that you have. Otherwise posting content is of no use because you'll not be able to connect with people, to not be able to establish relationships. And you'll not be able to create partnerships with people that are seeing your content and your not be giving them a prompt to go and purchase a product. If you're doing none of these ten posting content is of no use. And if your current network is not the right of the element people to go out, send connection requests and build a thresh network. People might leave you because you're not posting content relevant to what you were doing or what you would connect it on. Because we're working in a different industry and you've shifted your industry to a new one. And now we're posting content according to the new industry, that content is relevant to the new connections that you're building. In that case, the old connections may unmute you or me unfollow you, and that's completely fine. 9. Posting about trending topics: A lot of people rely on posting trending topics, the post-war news that is relevant to that audience, and this affects the engagement. If you're posting new, make sure the news that you are posting, this development, your audience, as you might diploids them, they will mute, unfollow you. And by this way you are, you might be posting two or 20 for sharing news and you might be posting relevant topics. So just keep this in mind. If you ask someone that is posting updates or news that you see on. The next step is the fewer doing marketing to accompany patients. But even if through it own profile, if you have a company that you worked for, get your employees or colleagues involved in helping out with the content, posting it on accompany profile. They can go and like the content and that will increase the engagement. That will make more people that the court did. Is it relevant for follow you and follow that fit that will help with the overall engagement and growth of the company or growth of the profile. And this will help you later dot with the business for whatever reason you, for which I can go to Analytics. This will help you analyze where you don't need this from, what times they liked the posts to add wood pilings that most Acrobat and what kind of posts they usually like. This will help you analyze what type of content to post more on, what timings to post it. And just basically analyze where the audiences from which had help you understand the timing better and make your content more relevant for them. 10. Engaging with other people's content: Another thing that most people who are trying to create content Ms. Put on is engaging with other people's content. Might need to identify other people that are promoting or posting similar content as yours or as the content that you wish to post later than the future. See if they are not direct competitors of yours or the company that you work for and there's not go and engage with the content that they're posting, both to abuse your opinions and just simply engage with that content. This way you'll be able to connect with more people. You'll be able to connect with that particular person and also with other people that are connecting or engaging with that person. To post. This way you'll be able to build out your network much faster and get to know more people in your industry or in the news that you are looking into posting. 11. Inviting connections to follow your pages: It's going to cover Linkedin stories in this video. But since LinkedIn has now discontinued LinkedIn stories, we'll be moving on to inviting connections to follow your company page at this point is very important as this will help you grow your LinkedIn page, your liquid company, but much faster. Every month, LinkedIn gives you 100 credits. Now these credits can be used to invite people to follow your company page. Every time someone rejects, invite or does not accept the invite, you lose that credit. And every time someone accepts the invite, you get the credit back. For example, if you send out 100 invitations for people to follow your page, and 40 of them do follow that page, then you will get back 40 credits and you can send them out whenever you want within that particular month. Next month. The next month you'll get another 100 credits, which can be used for the same purpose. These 100 periods or not. For individual profiles. This is for one particular company. Even if you work for that company, you'd only get 100 credits. Make sure that people knew watch ending the invites to are relevant to the industry, are relevant, are a good fit for the content that you're posting on that company page started to go and do a follow and you get that credit back. 12. Linkedin Post settings: When you post, you'll be able to see an option that shows you who that portrait is shown. In this option, you need to make sure that all your posts are public and visible to everyone. This is not switched on. Make sure you go and switch this on. Otherwise, your content will not be shown. Even if people engaged in clinical connections and engage with that content at north be shown to people other than your connections. This way, it will be very difficult for you to increase your network to make sure all these posts are public towards. 13. Tagging people in the comments: Lot of people go and tag. People are leaders in the industry hoping that they will come and react to their post, will engage with that content and they might do so on what are two posts. But if you continue to tack them molecularly, can end up blocking you on marketing guideposts as spam. And this will affect her further growth on the platform. And the algorithm would also hurt your posts that you post from that day onwards. This is not a good growth strategy. If you wanted to sustain the growth. If you want to be able to grow your count quickly, you can try this out, but this is definitely not a sustainable growth strategy. If you want to look for something that is sustainable and still get engaged print from all these leaders. You need to make the effort to engage with debt books. If you are one of the most active people on their posts, they will come to your posts and engage with your content, which would increase the views and which will increase the engagement on your posts. This is the most sustainable way to get engagement from DDS on the Intel, from thought leaders, from people who are doing well in your niche. This way you'll be able to connect with them as well as get engagement from there. 14. LinkedIn marketing most common mistakes: In this video, we'll be covering something that almost every linkedin user, first dust and ten, understand why and where they went wrong. One of the most important LinkedIn marketing tips is not to use link directly in the post. No black form. Once it's users to go and visit a name that is not on their platform. And for this reason, penalized such posts. If for some reason you do need to add link to somewhere in the post, you need to do so in the comments. That is the best way to keep your reach constant, to be able to reach a good number of people. If you put the link in your post, George, the reach of the post will be very low as compared to when you put it in the comments, almost every personal negative has died this some point tie. And then searched on Google. Wider force did not do as well as they hoped it would. This is the reason why, because no platform points is c users to be able to withstand a different platform that easily. And that is why they do not promote links directly at the Post. 15. Increase post engagement: In this video, we'll be covering three very important tips for how you can increase the engagement of the posts. Point number one, always ask questions in the post or end your posts with some sort of question. Certainly will react to it. People put their opinions, comments, and opinions on the post. And so it reaches more people. And people will often not actually comment their opinions and just go and liked that post. That's also enough for the end aquatic thing. Pick up that the posts of high-quality. That's what you need. Your goal with every poll should be to be able to reach out to your relevant audience and make them comments, something on them. Then your del, their own opinion to you in the comments. And this is your this is what the goal should be for each post to post. Number three is engaged with people's content. If you go and engage with other people's content, it's highly likely that they will come and engage with your content. So in that case, it will be a plus plus for both of you as you are engaging with their content in the engagement with the article. And it's helping both of you for, Let's add a call to action to each post. The call to action can be as simple as to follow me to stay updated on this topic.
