Today’s Insight

📰 TL;DR - A writer and editorial professional recently posted a piece on Fast Company detailing how he used LinkedIn as his only social media platform for 3 weeks along with what happened as a result.

💡 Insight - Growing a personal brand can be a valuable effort for business professionals regardless of your career level or background. People are attracted more to the stories of other humans than big corporate brands. Use this to your advantage.

If you’re looking to grow a personal brand, LinkedIn is the place to start. It’s not the jazziest social network, but it’s got staying power. Many people use LinkedIn simply as an extension of their resumé, so there’s lots of opportunities to stand out from the crowd with some simple original content. Only 1% of LinkedIn users actually create content.

Plus, if you’re tired of the constant changes and news that’s so present on other platforms, LinkedIn tends to skirt around all of that. It’s an often conflict-free place to show off your skills and expertise. So, enjoy it!
