A Surprisingly Simple Way To Use LinkedIn For Marketing

It’s a super powerful platform for B2B companies yet most businesses are only scratching the surface of how to use LinkedIn for marketing. But hey, we’re busy!

So here’s a way you can easily take advantage of LinkedIn’s enormous reach without spending a lot of time or energy: re-post your blogs on LinkedIn’s article publishing platform.

It’s easy and it’s free! When you do this, most of your connections will get a notification and a link to your post. That’s a huge boost for your visibility, especially because a big percentage of your LinkedIn connections are probably not on your email list.

When you use LinkedIn for marketing your content, you must include: 

1. Use a striking image (see below for a list of places to get free photos).
2. Tag your article with keywords at the end. (Once you hit “Publish” a box will pop up where you can add your tags.)
3. Make sure your article is super-easy to read. When you cut and paste, the spacing on LinkedIn can get a little wonky…so triple check it before you publish. Be sure to take advantage of all of the options on LinkedIn to format your article.
4. Always, always, always! include a link to your website either in the body of your article or at the end.

1. Log into your LinkedIn account.
2. In the top center box, click on “Write an article”.
3. Add your image, title, and article.
4. Then click “Publish” at the top right and add your tags.
