- Today we’re covering the basics that everybody should be doing on LinkedIn. We’ll also be sharing best practices to help you achieve the specific goals you may have on our network.
- Now that we’ve graduated from LinkedIn 101, let’s move on to our next session, which will focus on elevating awareness of your respective nonprofit organization. This is going beyond you and we’ll highlight what you can be doing for your organization. At the end of this session, you’ll be able to complete your organization’s Company page, learn how to engage followers, and understand the importance of your organization posting status updates.
- Here are the basics: A company page is a resource that allows your nonprofit to share information with our members about the great work that you do. Whether it’s somebody who sees a job posting from your organization on LinkedIn and is doing research, or an individual viewing the profile of an old classmate and the learning more about the nonprofit his friend works at, these are all opportunities for you to showcase your mission and grow your followers.
- Be strategic (perhaps create a content calendar). This should be more than HR or hiring updates, although that definitely is important! The leading thought on frequency of posts is 20 posts per month, which is about 1 post per weekday. This usually gives you about a 60% audience reach. By creating an engaging company page, you’ll begin to see your followers on LinkedIn grow, as every member on LinkedIn can follow companies, whether they’re interested in learning about the mission of an organization, the impact that that they’re making, opportunities to serve as a volunteer, or potentially working there as a full time employee. Keep this audience engaged through company updates, which get pushed out to all of your followers. Many organizations are already active on posting to various social media channels: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. Make LinkedIn one of yours! Some tips on leveraging the type of content you post to increase engagement: - 74% (on avg) increase in engagement by including a video in your company update - 84% (on avg) increase in engagement by including a link in your company update -147% (on avg) increase in engagement by including a photo or image in your company update
- Status updates help establish you as a thought leader and expert in your particular industry within your network. These are three recommendations I have on sharing status updates: 1. Post at peak activity times: users are active at varying times of the day on each social network, so keep the peak times in mind to maximize the impact of your posts. On LinkedIn, peak activity times are 7-9am and 5-6pm (local time) 2. Lead with a catchy first line 3. Share, comment and like other people’s content and they in turn will be more likely to interact with your posts.
- Company pages or updates?
- Over 1MM members have published blog posts on our Pulse platform – you or someone within your organization can be one of them! It may be difficult to get your leaders to post themselves, but perhaps have your comms team draft a thought leadership piece on their behalf or ask for 30 minutes of their time to publish an interview.
- Making connections or publishing?
