Content creation – or what to write about! – remains a key worry for most business owners and marketing professionals alike. Talking about things is a great way to get yourself out there and show people the benefits of what you do.
Now, added to this, one of the consequences of LinkedIn’s algorithm introduction some 2 years ago is that the distribution of your content has been reduced.

It is in reality a key element of the whole introduction process, a text bill board to complement the graphic banner and a way to engage with others.
Do you ever have the situation where you see a post on your homepage that you want to read later or comment on but after a little thought?
A picture paints a 1000 words they say & LinkedIn, professional as it may be, is no different.
When we talk about editing or optimising our profile on LinkedIn, most of the time we’re thinking about our Personal Profile. And rightly so, it is the central element of our activity on LinkedIn.
