Here are a few of the 15 tips you’ll find in the presentation:

Think like a journalist

Don’t bury the lead. Concise intros and snappy headlines are more likely to result in higher engagement. You only have a few lines of content to show your audience why they should care, so being concise is crucial. Grab your reader's attention right away by starting your update with your most important thought.

Make your content ‘snackable’ and valuable

Develop content that is quick to consume. Provide quality content that members will want to share with their networks. In fact, our data shows that the most successful updates include a picture, chart, video, or link to an article. If you do not have a link or image to include, ask your audience a question.

Extend your reach

Sponsor your best content. With LinkedIn Sponsored Updates (currently in a limited release), you can reach your target audience beyond your Company Page followers. So identify your top performing content and sponsor it!
