The other day I got an email.It was from LinkedIn, informing me that I would soon be able to “share and record videos” directly on the platform. (Apparently this feature is being rolled out to their most influential contributors first — I’ll take it as a compliment, then.) It’s news those of us in the B2B space have been waiting patiently for, like a labrador with sad eyes, for years. Previously on LinkedIn you could only share videos from other sites. You couldn’t upload video natively onto the platform, as has become so ubiquitous on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others. If you shared a link from YouTube it would embed itself and start playing in-stream (with the sound off), but the experience was still a long way behind most other social platforms....

I think many marketers are still reluctant to go all in on LinkedIn simply because they don’t understand how to utilize it properly. It’s also possible they don’t fully understand all the opportunities it presents.
Maybe it’s because of its robust set of features, the inherent learning curve, or the lack of understanding of the nuts and bolts of the platform. Whatever the reason, there’s a definite trend of marketers failing to extract LinkedIn’s full potential.
In fact, a study from the Content Marketing Institute found that an overwhelming number of LinkedIn users consider it to be ineffective as a marketing tool:
B2C marketers in North America in particular saw only limited results.
But what if I told you that there’s a way to kill it on LinkedIn and generate valuable, ongoing leads for your business? What if you could have an amazing ROI by following a fairly simple formula?

While LinkedIn has a unique focus compared to other social platforms, you can still incorporate it into your social media marketing strategy. You should realize, however, that you won’t necessarily be able to approach LinkedIn with the same strategy you use for your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest marketing.
In addition to serving as an online job networking space, LinkedIn serves as a business-focused social network. In particular, LinkedIn groups function as networking opportunities between professionals across a huge spectrum of industries. This means that your content should be focused on things pertaining to your specific industry, and should help build your business’s presence as a thought leader in your specific industry.
While the content you curate for other social platforms can (and arguably should) have a lifestyle focus, your LinkedIn strategy should center around your industry, and what your business can contribute to that space....
LinkedIn is best known as the world's largest professional network -- in other words, users aren’t there to look at cat memes or read celebrity gossip. Instead, they're looking to connect with people in their industry, network, keep up with industry news, and look potential job opportunities. For marketers, paying attention to this difference in user purpose is key when building your social strategy. The more looped in you are on what people are talking about, the easier it becomes to use that information to craft helpful, targeted content. And that's where this data study comes in. My company, ClearVoice, recently conducted a study that provides data and insight specifically on the most popular posts on LinkedIn. The data was generated by Content Studio -- our comprehensive index of the most popular content and influencers on the web -- and includes insights from the third quarter of 2016. Want to build these trends into your LinkedIn strategy? I'll walk you through them below....

If you aren’t already using LinkedIn to find prospects and connect with them, you need to get started right away. Here are a few great LinkedIn tools to help you in the process....

Most salespeople are sold on the power of LinkedIn. They keep their profiles in tip-top shape, look up their prospects' profiles before calling or emailing, and keep close tabs on what potential customers post in groups. Reps also know how to search for prospects and narrow the results down by industry, company, location, and other specifications.
