Hello Friends
I hope you are off to a fantastic start for 2023. I love this time of year because I reset many of my plans.
Let's get rolling into the January feature updates because LinkedIn has been rather busy.
LinkedIn Feature Updates – January
For Companies:
👉 Follow other company pages now to build strategic relationships. You can now do this from the company page.
👉 The product listings will be improved including more detailed search filters and personalization. I am not sure how this will work yet, but will keep you posted in future emails as I learn more.
Interesting for All Users:
👉 Now you can add pricing to your Services page. The question is if it makes sense to do so?
👉 Look for post-scheduling - I have this but it is still rolling out for most users. I don't tend to use it because I like to be present for comments and replies.
👉 Auto-captioning of videos. I may have mentioned this already, but most people are still waiting for these features.
👉 I am really loving ❤️ the Celebrations notification page. I found out I was lucky to be one of the first to get it. I can easily send a congratulatory note to people with new jobs. The notifications tab was never able to send all of those, so now I have access to all. Try this link to see if you might have the feature.
👉 As of February 11, LinkedIn will be displaying the newsletters we subscribe to from our profiles. An email was sent out to users about this last week. Some users really object to this change. How about you?
For Job Seekers:
👉 Look for a Skills Match to see how aligned your skills are to a particular job posting. This will be helpful. Many job seekers will identify skills that they should be adding to their profiles as a result of this feature.
👉 LinkedIn announced they are testing job Collections to help people explore career opportunities - see screenshot below ⬇️. Looking forward to learning more about this feature too
LinkedIn and Microsoft News:
🗞 Microsoft announced that Linkedin is now up to 900 M users. Getting closer to that 1 B mark. Revenue and engagement are all up too.
