LinkedIn is my favourite social network and it's a valuable platform to connect, learn and share.

More than ever, we have a responsibility to show up and share our knowledge as seeking out news and information is one of the top reasons people use social media.

Developing your social media footprint is also important if you are intent on managing your online reputation. LinkedIn is the perfect platform. 

2.5 million adults in Ireland are active on LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the largest people database in the world and we are there with an intention to connect with others, so be sure to be purposeful with your own strategy.

Column | Why LinkedIn is the perfect platform for public sector leaders

#1 Your employees are there

#2 Your company culture is displayed there 

#3 Your peers are there 

#4 Your content is indexed on Google 

#5 Corporate communications sits perfectly on LinkedIn 

#6 Friendly place to be and an equally friendly algorithm 

#7 Niche topic discovery and easy to be found

#8 Easy to grow influence with a solid strategy 

LinkedIn rewards consistency, much like the other social networks. 

Have a proactive presence, along with posting consistently, engage with others.

Posting tips: Use hashtags on your posts, tag people or organisations where relevant, add media, and prompt conversation. It's great when posts have an engaging thread below them. So make that your intention, to open a conversation. Don't post and go.

 

Leverage Your Network

We are only three connections away from being introduced to anyone in the world because of the power of LinkedIn. The opportunity to outreach to people based on a shared professional interest has never been easier.

It's also a good idea to call out your network when they are promoting projects or career wins. Be sure, to share others' content and provide context on why you are sharing it. That type of network promotion is really welcomed by connections.

Like everything we do on social media, do it with purpose, genuine intention, and authenticity.
