2021 was an INCREDIBLE year for LinkedIn feature updates, changes, and enhancements!
If you have been receiving emails from me all year, then I hope those helped keep you fully informed. Let me know by replying to this email. I always like to hear from folks!
Today I will let you know about a fantastic new feature surprise for December. We can now subscribe to individuals to be notified of their posts. Wow! I love this. Now keep in mind this is not a newsletter subscription, but a general post notification, and we register with the cutest little bell . Please check out this post and see the screenshot example.POST
We had so many! Here is my list of the top 10 from 2021.
1. Cover story video - a short video clip (at your headshot) allows you to differentiate yourself from everyone else! ( Think orange fish vs. blue ) And you don't have to get too fancy. Authentic is best. Here's mine - - just click on my photo
2. Bell subscription - brand new and described above
3. Improved company search filters. Here is a link to a video post.
4. Services pages and reviews - great functionality for freelancers!
5. Native video meetings. Here is a link to my video post demonstrating the feature.
6. Improved search filters for job seekers looking for remote or hybrid work. And companies are also able to highlight remote or hybrid jobs better.
7. Creator mode has some exciting possibilities for content creators with a good following (This feature is not for everyone)
8. Account mapping on Sales Navigator. Check it out here in this post
9. Better view of the Featured section with new profile layout. Here's my article about this and new profiles in general.
10. Several enhancements for Company Pages, including Articles and the My Company tab for employees.
