May LinkedIn Tips
TIP 1
Wondering what the trick is to get a better return from your Posts?
Review your content: Is it informing & educating? Or is it all about what you do? Make it about your audience, not you/your company. It's fine to promote yourself once in a while, but you want engagement with your network, not cause them to 'roll their eyes' and scroll to the next post. Sign up for our Do You Post & Ghost? free webinar on 5/26: Register now!

TIP 2
As you scan your Home Page feed, tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner to Save a post; it will be stored on the left margin under Saved Items to easily read/access later. Control unwanted ads, too!

TIP 3
NEW: When you Report a post, invitation, or a member for inappropriate behavior (like pitching you in their invitation,) you will receive an email from the LinkedIn Trust & Safety Team as to the result, letting you know if they agreed. Reporting is anonymous and helps LinkedIn to cut down on any 'less than desirable' content. How to Report: tap the 3 dots (see Tip 2 above).
