LinkedIn is the social platform B2B marketers use most (according to CMI’s annual research), so it was no surprise our #CMWorld community was hungry for ideas on how to get the most from this. Jason Miller joined us to talk about everything from business pages to what the LinkedIn community responds to best.

MT @CMIContent Q1: @LinkedIn groups, business pages, or something else? If you’re new to building this channel, where to start? #CMWorld
@PSEO_Inc
A1: Company page & showcase pages are the foundation for success. It’s the mother ship for your content on LinkedIn #CMWorld
@JasonMillerCA
A1. We use both a Company Page and dedicated groups, but that’s like the #blackdiamond approach. Start w/Company Page #cmworld
@eccushing
A1: There are 4 content hubs on LinkedIn: Company Pages (+Showcase Pages), SlideShare, Groups, and Sponsored Updates #CMWorld Use them all!
@JasonMillerCA
A1 I’m seeing a lot more value in publishing on LinkedIn…far more than mismanaged groups #cmworld
@tracibrowne
A1: Start with your profile and looking into what works for your industry. Sometimes one or both will work, other times not. #CMWorld
@AgentPalmer
A1: Participate in group discussions, and build out a business page for branding. People more likely to connect with a real person. #cmworld
@AJutah
A1: I’m sure @JasonMillerCA will agree, only use @LinkedIn if your audience does (but who doesn’t) #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
@CMIContent @LinkedIn A1: I would have to say a business page. We all start from the bottom and work up from there. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
A1 I have to say, I’ve never once looked at a company page…unless trying to find someone who works there. #cmworld
@tracibrowne
A1: The 1st question is what is your main purpose on #in? Community? Then Group. Co. foundation? Biz Page. Positioning? Writing #CMWorld
@bdotagency
@mikemyers614 there you go, always thinking about the audience 🙂 #cmworld
@CMIContent
@CMIContent It depends 🙂 #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A1: Just remember that content fuels social. You will need a continuous source of relevant content for success. #CMWorld
@JasonMillerCA
@tracibrowne Same, or trying to find a job. I guess it does serve its purpose as a landing page for that #cmworld
@vegecomgirl
@tracibrowne agreed! I haven’t figured out how to use Linkedin for my clients yet, which are mostly bar owners. #CMWorld
@brooklynnholtz
@AJutah connection is key! #cmworld
@CMIContent
Don’t mean to be a “hater” but many groups are full of spammy posts and lack moderation… That’s a shame. :/ #cmworld
@MaelRoth
@tracibrowne so do you not follow any companies/brands? #cmworld
@CMIContent
I think it’s safe to say with this group…decide first on your purpose/goal is a given, no? #cmworld
@tracibrowne
@PSEO_Inc @JasonMillerCA Emphasis on RELEVANT. I’ve started seeing more random stuff pop up on my home page – this isn’t Facebook #cmworld
@eccushing
@CMIContent @JasonMillerCA LinkedIn pages can be the foundation for a company in our online savvy society. #CMWorld
@RanielleDeardon
@CMIContent @tracibrowne I haven’t yet seen the value of LinkedIn yet. Still trying to find my comfort area on there. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
@CMIContent @LinkedIn A1: Business page, since people will be referencing it. Also groups and posts from employees/advocates. #cmworld
@EagleEyedEditor
A1: Keep in mind, that it’s not a game of numbers or the amount of content, it’s a game of relevance. Relevance trumps Quantity #CMWorld
@JasonMillerCA
Participating in established communities can help a brand grow. It’s not always about broadcasting, but how you can genuinely help. #cmworld
@AJutah
@tracibrowne @CMIContent @tracibrowne Honestly, I only follow companies after I’ve applied for a job w/them #realtalk #brownnoser #cmworld
@eccushing
@CMIContent @tracibrowne Finding it valuable for Attorneys and Doctors to increase authority when they are usually social media shy #cmworld
@PSEO_Inc
@MaelRoth it’s one of the reasons why we made a change in our group guidelines…to cut down on the self-promoting posts! #cmworld
@CMIContent
@GTAmissions1 @CMIContent @tracibrowne Me, too, Wayne. I’m in a few groups and read articles, but I don’t interact a lot. #CMWorld
@AnOrchidInBloom
@CMIContent @mikemyers614 @JasonMillerCA @LinkedIn I would agree. Have to have auedience to make it worth time and resources. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
A1: Groups b4 jumping into any new channel it’s important to understand the culture 1st, groups are great listening stations #CMWorld
@KDADouglas
@PSEO_Inc That’s a really awesome point #cmworld
@Beymour
@CMIContent @tracibrowne We’re encouraging our staff to publish on @LinkedIn. It’s great exposure! #cmworld
@CrowdContent
I think most try to balance, their site or blog with @LinkedIn’s publishing platform. Everything seems to be a guessing game. #CMWorld
@AgentPalmer
@AJutah It’s all about support and making connections. Helping each other grow. #cmworld
@vegecomgirl
A1: Showcase pages, as they provide greater context as part of a holistic campaign. Criminally underutilized. #CMWorld
@Bonini84
@eccushing @PSEO_Inc @JasonMillerCA I agree, although it’s not rampant with randomness. Just an occasional random post. #cmworld
@JeremyBednarski
A1 Company pages are much more impactful to me as a consumer than groups are with how cluttered they can get with irrelevant news. #CMWorld
@RanielleDeardon
@tracibrowne Good. LI blog posts can be good/bad — makes me wonder about person’s professionalism at times. #cmworld
@EagleEyedEditor
Wise words -> MT @JasonMillerCA Relevance trumps Quantity #cmworld
@CMIContent
A1: It’s a different mindset than the other social networks. People spend time on FB but the INVEST time on LinedIn. #CMWorld
@JasonMillerCA
@Bonini84 showcase pages? I have not heard of this… #cmworld
@tracibrowne
I’ve found that content from my media site @HCMEssentials is shared more on @LinkedIn than any other platform. It was eye-opening #cmworld
@eccushing
@JasonMillerCA @CMIContent @tracibrowne That is how I would approach. I don’t like rushing in and expecting quick results. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
A1 Biz page yes, but best results come from empowering staff to spread your message to their connections #cmworld
@webber_karen
A1 Publishing on LinkedIN should be given lots of attention. Many young professionals get their first impression of companies #CMWorld
@SobieskiNIck
@MaelRoth I agree. I am not against groups. More of what you mentioned that sometimes ruins the experience. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
@eccushing @HCMEssentials always so important to evaluate data to see what resonates and where! #cmworld
@CMIContent
A2. Allowing individuals to publish on LinkedIn – empowers staff to be micro #contentmarketers #cmworld
@eccushing
A2: Linkedin users can publish long-form posts, including visuals. Read more here: http://linkd.in/17j20el #cmworld

@SusynEliseDuris
A2 biggest/best was to allow members to write long pieces (and it’s easy!). Great thought leadership tool. #CMWorld
@webber_karen
It’s been relevance & frequency for me. Weekly posting just got me a client from a group I dropped 5 years ago @JasonMillerCA #CMWorld
@bethbrodovsky
A2 I like the fact that “publishing” allows people outside of your network to find you…also to find what’s relevant to you now #cmworld
@tracibrowne
@The_Hillman @CMIContent @MaelRoth Agree. Some people want to keep posting stuff that doesn’t add value. Quality over quantity. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
A2 Anyone can publish on LinkedIn. It’s a great platform for that. #CMWorld
@AnOrchidInBloom
@eccushing @HCMEssentials @LinkedIn What led you to finding that out? Am curious. #cmworld

@AJutah
@CMIContent @LinkedIn Blog posts. #cmworld

Q2 Not LI-specific, but native ads have definitely opened some doors for LI marketing. #cmworld
@Beymour
A2: In fact, our content pages receive 7x the views that our job pages do. Members are seeking content in a professional context. #CMWorld
@JasonMillerCA
@bethbrodovsky that’s awesome! Congrats! #cmworld
@CMIContent
@CMIContent @HCMEssentials One of those great moments where pre-conceived notions get blasted away w/#data #CMWorld http://t.co/um5ehIGAQr
@eccushing
A2: Opening Pulse publishing to the public was a big stepv identfying that content mktg as a priorty by welcoming UGC #CMWorld
@bdotagency
#cmworld Q2: LinkedIn’s article publishing platform is great! You can sponsor posts too i believe. Great for inbound.
@bryanandrewlee
@CMIContent @LinkedIn A3: Blog posts would be one. Trying to make it more attractive would be another. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
@CMIContent @LinkedIn You still can’t export followers of your company page! That has been called for a while now! #CMWorld
@njh287
A2: Promoted posts allow companies to amplify their messages on Linkedin. #cmworld
@admom1
A2: The easy answer is rolling out content creation for all users; not just influencers. It’s become more of a discovery platform. #CMWorld
@Bonini84
A2: There is now an entire suite of marketing solutions for content marketers, demand gen, branding, PR, B2B, B2C, you name it. #CMWorld
@JasonMillerCA
Wow! MT @JasonMillerCA of LinkedIn: Our content pages receive 7x the views than our job pages. Members are seeking content. #CMWorld
@webmastergirl
@EagleEyedEditor @HCMEssentials @LinkedIn We started tracking social shares on each post on the site-LinkedIn blew everything away #CMWorld
@eccushing
[email protected] totally agree! #CMWorld
@KDADouglas
@bryanandrewlee I look forward to using that service when I have a chance. Could be a very useful service to use. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
@EagleEyedEditor but it’s a great way to weed out the freaks 😉 #CMWorld
@tracibrowne
A2 LinkedIn inherently has much more potential for content marketers than other social media outlets due to the nature of the site #CMWorld
@RanielleDeardon
@GTAmissions1 @CMIContent @MaelRoth Perhaps it’s a fear of sharing too much but many are very vague. Lofty goals w/out substance. #CMWorld
@The_Hillman
This Tweetchat is moving faster than the drummer in a Megadeth song. Keep it coming #CMWorld #thisonegoesto11

@CMIContent
@tracibrowne Good point. #cmworld
@EagleEyedEditor
@KDADouglas thank you, Katrina. Now, if we could only learn how to correctly spell the word “step…” :-)#CMWorld
@bdotagency
@Bonini84 I agree. Some people like myself like to create content. All @LinkedIn needs to do is provide tools and resources. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
@RanielleDeardon How so? My notifications are mostly recruiting/sales oriented. Often lots of noise. #cmworld
@AJutah
A2 Being able to publish on LinkedIn is easy and convenient way to get your name out there, also to discover other thought leaders #CMWorld
@SobieskiNIck
@eccushing @HCMEssentialsis @LinkedIn becoming a more important content distribution platform or just for certain topics? #CMWorld
@thedavepepper
Has @LinkedIn linkreally become Mktg friendly? Not so sure Very limited engagement – constant changing user interface #CMWorld

@mikemyers614
@The_Hillman @CMIContent @MaelRoth I try to be open, but I try not to post the same item twice. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
A3 Too early to tell for me, but I really hope it’s long-form content…lots of meat…not the usual “Three ways to…” #cmworld
@tracibrowne
Don’t over complicate this stuff. Know your audience, create relevant content, publish, target, measure on LI, then scale. #CMWorld
@JasonMillerCA
A3: We’ve found that our “customers” respond to our links on #in, however, we get more biz from the posts from those who work w/ us #CMWorld
@bdotagency
@JasonMillerCA It classifies as an “edge of your seat” chat, for sure! #CMWorld
@CrowdContent
A3: Can’t speak for everybody but I prefer blog posts, infographics, even video, done with some personality. #cmworld
@EagleEyedEditor
Lately – over the past 6-10 months – we’ve seen a huge uptick of our content being shared on @LinkedIn. Content on LI works. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
A3) Based on limited experience, short posts. Good graphics aid in these as well. #cmworld
@ChristinKardos
Boom! MT @JasonMillerCA Don’t over complicate this stuff. Know your audience, create relevant content, publish, target, measure #cmworld
@CMIContent
LinkedIn is still for 90% a personal branding tool. Poor company branding tool #CMWorld
@micadam
@CMIContent we’re really just beginning to push content on @LinkedIn, but we notice the tone counts for everything. #CMWorld
@bryanandrewlee
A3: Anything that is shareable to their personal network – which includes links, insightful content, images #cmworld
@Star_Content
A3: In reality, all of the above. A good content marketer can look at one piece of content & imagine it many different ways. #CMWorld
@JasonMillerCA
@thedavepepper @LinkedIn It’s def platform for us-we’re a part of @AberdeenGroup speaking to #HR. Now we know where to reach them #CMWorld
@eccushing

@webber_karen
A3 I’m using #in to reach the people I don’t know are interested in what I have to offer/say/teach so I’m not sure how they want it #cmworld
@tracibrowne
A3: The next step is to repurpose the hell out of each piece of content until you have gotten every ounce of value from it. #CMWorld
@JasonMillerCA
MT @webber_karen: A3 video wins for us [on LinkedIn] #CMWorld
@lindadessau
@SusynEliseDuris @LinkedIn That is good to hear you are getting results on LinkedIn. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
A3: Depends on the industry. Business and marketing posts tend to have higher reach than anything. #cmworld
@AJutah
@webber_karen Hmm…do tell. What kind, why? #CMWorld

@micadam
@JasonMillerCA Well said. I will consider your message when posting. #CMWorld

@tracibrowne
@RepCapital @LinkedIn Ooh, aren’t you concerned they don’t own that location? #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
Hi @JasonMillerCA. Absolutely agree with the visual being a big piece. It’s part of why I click on some of that content. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
@RepCapital @LinkedIn Interesting. Does that traffic translate into leads and inquiries? I’d be worried #cmworld
@lindadessau
@JasonMillerCA Agree! still photos and video are powerful #CMWorld
@thedavepepper
@mikemyers614 @RepCapital @LinkedIn Thats #cmworld
@lindadessau
@RepCapital LinkedIn should supplement, not replace your owned channels. #cmworld
@AJutah
LinkedIn is like a open-mic Ted Talk. #cmworld
@BrandedCartoons
@mikemyers614 @RepCapital @LinkedIn That’s what I was thinking #cmworld
@lindadessau
@eccushing @CMIContent @ChristinKardos I will read long posts but person has to be a good storyteller to keep my interest. #cmworld
@EagleEyedEditor
A4: Be succinct, informed, timely and relevant. #cmworld
@PSEO_Inc
As a student what should i put on LinkedIn to best promote my “personal brand”? Sometimes my page just feels like a resume. #CMWorld
@SobieskiNIck
@eccushing @CMIContent @ChristinKardos I also agree. Try to keep it short and simple along with easy to read too. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
A3 or I shld say, infographics that R not actually infographics but a huge amount of words displayed pretty on a poster sized image #cmworld
@tracibrowne
Would you suggest repurposing over “straight” republishing (from the original iteration)? I (sure) would! #CMWorld https://twitter.com/JasonMillerCA/status/585476732527980545
@jgombita
Linkedin is not understood by marketing since it is much more #h2h than Facebook than they imagine #CMWorld
@micadam
@mikemyers614 I think it is bcs our videos resonate w/ our influencers, which is our focus audience on LI. #CMWorld
@webber_karen
A4: Don’t: Treat is as repurposed banner advertising for driving clicks back to your site. Provide the value natively on site. #CMWorld
@Bonini84
Oops – meant to say a3 🙁 #cmworld
@PSEO_Inc
@tracibrowne true. video and short animations do translate across platforms #CMWorld
@thedavepepper
@EagleEyedEditor @eccushing @CMIContent That’s fair….. I almost find my brain to be in micro content mode on LI. Less patient. #cmworld
@ChristinKardos
I’ve seen a lot of posts with calls to action – books for sale, links at the end. Good vs Bad idea? #CMWorld
@bethbrodovsky
@SobieskiNIck It is a digital resume, but infuse it with some personality to the appropriate level for your chosen industry #CMWorld
@SparkerWorks
@lindadessau @LinkedIn Too soon to tell, but it definitely gets their ideas in front of new people -instead of existing followers #cmworld
@RepCapital
A4: Do’s publish often, don’ts, well,again, don’t overcomplicate this stuff. It’s long form content, it’s blogging, it’s one idea. #CMWorld
@JasonMillerCA
@CMIContent @LinkedIn #CMWorld I find those “what you see first” crossword or math question post questions are a terrible waste of time.
@bryanandrewlee
@RepCapital @lindadessau @LinkedIn That’s important, too! #cmworld
@lindadessau
[email protected]y @SusynEliseDuris @tracibrowne less with the new lay-out – pulse is much more hidden #CMWorld
@micadam
@tracibrowne I don’t mind infographics depending on information being presented. I agree it is annoying if not work on mobile. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
A4: Do: Repurpose some of your best content from personal / company blogs to reach a wider audience. #CMWorld
@Bonini84
[email protected] infographics that are not mobile optimized are a pain! zoom, scroll, zoom out, scroll, repeat. #CMWorld
@CrowdContent
@webber_karen Interesting. Do you create videos just for LI or just post them there? #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
A4: Check your spelling & grammar!!! Or ruin other ppl’s idea of your professionalism. Use visual content & be timely. #cmworld
@EagleEyedEditor
A4: Simple do’s:Use images, be concise, be relevant, embrance your voice AND that of your co. & brand #CMWorld
@bdotagency
Agree with @JasonMillerCA on investment time in LI. Learning – espec the learning -, sharing and connecting is impt at @LinkedIn. #cmworld
@SusynEliseDuris
I really enjoy posts about productivity, organization and motivation on @Linkedin. #cmworld
@AJutah
A4 Be valuable and authentic. #CMWorld
@webber_karen
@Bonini84 Yes a million times. Had SO many conversations about this when I worked at an agency. Totally cost-prohibitive that way #cmworld
@eccushing
A4. Relevant content is key. Linkedin audience is active & there to advance careers. Irrelevant content disengages #CMWorld
@Andrew7000
@micadam Can you explain? I see it as setup the same way, but for professional over social interaction on posts. #CMWorld
@AnOrchidInBloom
A4 Post often enough to maintain your relevance but do not over-post. Make sure each post contains relevant and timely info #CMWorld
@RanielleDeardon
@RepCapital Wow. Do you think being on @LinkedIn is less hard sell more 3rd party endorsement? #CMWorld
@thedavepepper
Good point! MT @tracibrowne: A3 answer also depends on what device …infographics don’t work so well on mobile phone tiny screen #cmworld

@mikemyers614
MT @EagleEyedEditor: A4: Check your spelling & grammar!!! Or ruin other ppl’s idea of your professionalism. #cmworld
@lindadessau
A4. Do: use sassy headlines (if your brand voice has a little sass in it) – we’ve had good responses w/this tactic #cmworld
@eccushing
@CMIContent @LinkedIn A4: Do make sure it is professional and relevant. Don’t post things that don’t relate to professional. #CMWorld
@GTAmissions1
@bethbrodovsky You need a balance of material that’s helpful resources for your audience vs promotional CTAs #CMWorld
@SparkerWorks
A4: Do: Take a headline audit of the best performing posts on LinkedIn. Why do these work? Avoid formulaic titles. #CMWorld
@Bonini84
@AJutah @RepCapital what if your owned channels don’t have traction? #CMWorld
@thedavepepper
The bigger question here is, why would you not publish long form content on LinkedIn? #CMWorld
@JasonMillerCA
A4: When publishing on LinkedIn, the content should really display your expertise not be a sounding board for nonsense #CMWorld
@Amazingly_Stacy
@RanielleDeardon You don’t see LinkedIn as the place for evergreen content? #cmworld
@lindadessau
@bethbrodovsky far too many of these are nothing more than advertising and some out and out spam #CMWorld

@EagleEyedEditor

@GTAmissions1
A4 @Bonini84 Don’t just cut and paste, tho. Adapt content to the channel. #CMWorld
@RepCapital
@Mushcado but aren’t we all selling something with content? Why not include sales CTA after delivering help/value @bethbrodovsky #cmworld
@tracibrowne
@micadam @bethbrodovsky @tracibrowne when I say short-form, I mean 800 or less. I had short-form piece featured in Mktg & Adv. #CMWorld
@SusynEliseDuris
A4: DON’T be too salesy. DO be authentic, help people with their problems and be a thought leader. #cmworld
@AJutah
A4: LinkedIn is corporate but it’s still social, don’t use the same boilerplates you use on print and everywhere else #CMWorld
@KDADouglas
@jgombita @JasonMillerCA Agreed #CMWorld
@connieurway
@jgombita @JasonMillerCA Yes! Copy+Paste is not a strategy! #CMWorld
@mikemyers614
@eccushing Unfortunately many marketers look at how to bleed a new platform than provide value on it. More opportunity for us. #CMWorld
@Bonini84

@JasonMillerCA
@bethbrodovsky CTA’s seem a little pushy on LI. It’s like going to a networking event and asking for the sale on the spot. #cmworld
@CrowdContent
The way the LinkedIn content flow works, it seems only persistent publishing breaks through. #cmworld
@BrandedCartoons
@CMIContent @LinkedIn A4: Don’t spam with the same topic when posting. I do prefer variety, not the same article being reposted. #CMWorld
