Creating content on LinkedIn can be confusing. Some people just don't know what to post, or how to post, honestly, there are more questions than answers! Wait, what should I do to create good content here??? Some might also say it's intimidating. LinkedIn is a professional networking platform but...
Do You Walk Into A Crowded Room Full Of People And Give Everyone A “Thumbs Up”?
This is the first image that comes to mind when I think of when I think of the most used reaction here on LinkedIn. Two thumbs up - "I like it!" Now don't get me wrong, I'm a Generation X girl and I love the movie Wayne's World as much as the next person. The scene of Wayne and Garth and their...
Should I Spend My Hard-Earned Money On LinkedIn Premium In 2025?
I get asked this question nearly every time I talk to people about LinkedIn. Whether it's 1 on 1 or in a group setting, it almost always comes up. Before we weigh the pros and cons of LinkedIn Premium, allow me to put it in perspective. I've been using the free version of LinkedIn for five years....
How Is Rock Music Like LinkedIn?
Are you ready to ROCK???? Like a good hard rock song, LinkedIn needs a good beat. Your content on LinkedIn needs a good beat, ROCK ON! If your content has one tone (think the musical tone not the literary tone, flashback to my days of English in high school) throughout, you will lose people. What...
Trust Is Not Given, It’s EARNED!
LinkedIn is turning into Facebook. I see that comment quite often. While I disagree, I understand where the statement is coming from. I'm a big fan of being human here. I've said it before and I'll say it again, LinkedIn is not B2B, it's H2H. H2H means human to human. Nope, I'm not going to repeat...
You Are More Than Your 9 to 5!
We are multi-dimensional humans. We are moms, dads, sisters, brothers. We have hobbies AND some of us have side hustles. So why are we JUST talking about our primary jobs here? Why can't we showcase those side hustles, our second jobs, our third jobs? Are they helping to pay our bills? They are...
What Is LinkedIn To You???
What do I mean by that question, you ask? I'll clarify. Why do you come to LinkedIn? Why are you here? Do you even know??? If you don't know the answer to that question, I would recommend you think about it. Gone are the days of LinkedIn being a place just for job seekers. People of all...
Don’t Just Tell Us, Show Us! Relate To Us!
Want to Know Why I LOVE creating content here on LinkedIn??? As the song goes in Grease "Tell me more, tell me more!" Content for me here is not just writing a couple sentences. It’s not just posting a picture. It’s not just posting a video. It's not just the data or the facts. It’s the story...
STOP Talking About What You Want To Do…Make It Happen!
Have you ever wanted to do something but haven’t seen the possibilities to make it happen? Maybe it just seems so unrealistic of a goal, that you wouldn’t even know where you would start the process. What if I fail??? Or it just seems like a dream that doesn’t have a means to an end. We can make...
People Are Watching Even If You Don’t See Them
Do you know what happens when you post content here or anywhere on social media? You put yourself out there. That's right, it's risky. The thing is, if you don't post content here or anywhere, then it's a risk too. You read that correctly. Not posting content means you are risking any...
