Is LinkedIn Really Worth Your Time?

You’ve probably heard all the rage about LinkedIn over the past year or 2, but the question you may be asking yourself…

Is LinkedIn worth it?

Well, let’s take a look…

So, What’s All The Fuss About?

You may well remember LinkedIn as being  That “Online CV Platform” you might have signed up to years ago then never used again.

It just so happens, the platform has come a long way since then…

In fact, here’s some eye-watering stats to prove it:

There are 9 billion content impressions in the LinkedIn feed every week.

But only 3 million users share content week 

*To save you the math, that’s approximately a potential of 3,000 eyeballs on your content each week! (And without even running paid ads!!)

To top it all off, LinkedIn now has over 500 million members and is showing no signs of slowing down.

It doesn’t matter if you’re in B2B or B2C, the fact is more and more industries, creators, and even micro-niches are signing up each day.

So if you’re wondering whether your customers or target audience will be on there…

Well, if they’re not already, there’s an extremely good chance they will be soon!

The question is…

Would you rather be early to the party or end up fighting for scraps when it’s too late?

LinkedIn Isn’t Just A Social Network

Another important thing to factor in here is the context of the platform.

LinkedIn is a platform primarily designed for networking and building business relationships.

Whereas with Facebook, Instagram or other social media channels you’re ultimately competing for attention on platforms that are designed primarily for people to engage with friends and family.

As a result of this combined with the HUGE organic reach potential, LinkedIn can generate substantially more leads organically when compared to other platforms as seen in the study below:

But, is it worth at least having a presence on?
