Follow Deanna on LinkedInThey Are Watching, Are You Visible?
There was a time when I could listen to Rockwell's song (from the 80s) and just enjoy it. Now every time I hear that song, I think of LinkedIn. When you are active here, people are watching you. When you are inactive here, well, what's the point??? Comment...people see that comment. A comment of...
Would You Rather Be a Camo or Unicorn?
Inspiration for content on LinkedIn can be all around you, as long as you are open to seeing it. I got inspired to post this one while walking this morning at a local park. I came across a pond with dozens of turtles swimming in it. I snapped this picture of one of them, it was hiding in the grass...
Don’t Invite!
Whenever I think keyboard or typing fast....yep! I think of this scene. For many people it's a batch thing, or it becomes a subconscious habit. Perhaps it's 10 a day, 20 a day, or even as much as 50 a day. I'm talking about moving the mouse over to the search box and typing in the keywords and...
Mix It Up! Variety is the Spice of Life
Even though I’m not what you call a “savant” in the kitchen, I happen to know that adding spices - oregano, cumin, basil, etc. will take any dish from bland to tasty. Another step in the kitchen is taking all your ingredients and mixing them all up. I actually make a mean meatloaf (it’s one of...
“I can relate with that!”
Relate with us, speak words we understand! Chances are very good that there are plenty of people in your industry here on LinkedIn. That being said, even more people are NOT in your industry here. One of the biggest ways to lose people here on LinkedIn is to use acronyms and language that goes...
We Love a Good Story, So Tell Us Yours!
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...
