Commentary

My LinkedIn wish list for 2015

• Scheduling of status updates and posts
• Instant messaging via a Skype integration or LinkedIn own proprietary system
• LinkedIn message/InMail ‘read’ notifications
• Common meaning for simple words like ‘views’ for instance a post view being the same as an update view.
• The ability to share image based updates with individuals (see question below)

Question

What is the best way to ask others to share my status update?

ANS = Rather than  putting something in the update or comments I would advise sending the update directly to those you know are most likely to help you. The video below explains how this is done.

Thank you so much for listening, I really value your support and interest.

As always I would welcome your feedback and questions. If you want to be on the show you can leave a comment by voicemail (right hand side of this page) or email me at mark@linkedinformed.com.
