Hello Friends 🌸
Greetings -The year is rolling by fast and I am excited about all the new business opportunities for 2023. Meanwhile, LinkedIn keeps sending us fresh updates and tools. I hope you will like the new features noted this month.
LinkedIn Updates – April 2023
For Creators:
👉 I mentioned Collaborative Articles in last month's email. Even despite some nice SEO potential, some creators are complaining about them. The generic AI base articles leave something to be desired. I have tried writing on only one so far, and it was far from impressive as an article.
👉 LinkedIn is testing a new UX for creating posts. Expect a much cleaner experience.
👉 I just heard that we will be able to drag and drop images into posts. Ok by me.
👉 I am waiting for the carousels feature. Does anyone have this one yet?
👉 LinkedIn is evidently beta-testing sponsored personal posts. I remain very skeptical of this concept.
For Companies:
👉 LinkedIn is adding additional filters for B2B product searches.
👉 I just read that LinkedIn will now allow companies to filter job candidates by race, in order to advance diversity.
👉 I heard that there will be a new messaging tab on company pages, but haven't seen it myself yet. I keep looking.
For Job Seekers
👉 LinkedIn is testing personalized "Job Collections" for more casual job seekers.
👉 Notify a company that you are interested in working thereby indicating "I am interested" on the company page.
Interesting for all
👉 LinkedIn is partnering with Clear to validate profiles in the USA. This is an effort to stop fake profiles. The great news is that it will be a free feature, unlike Twitter and Meta (Facebook and Instagram). Here's what it may look like ⬇️ and my POST explaining more about profile verifications.
👉 LinkedIn will be testing Artificial Intelligent writing for members in their About essays and headlines. I have very low expectations after seeing their other AI initiatives.
👉 Look for "Suggested Posts" which will be marked accordingly. LinkedIn is planning to circulate content more widely with this move.
