LinkedIn is rolling out so many new updates! Here's everything "new" in one place (Repost this ♻️) 1. New post previews on the profile (Desktop) Instead of top-down, it's now left-right. My take? It's a great change that will allow more posts to be seen by profile visitors without any extra clicks. 2. New video views counter (Mobile) Video posts now include "video plays" publicly. Not "post impressions", by the way. My take? Unhealthy. Could encourage even more toxic comparisons. 3. Only 5 personalized notes per month Want more customized connection requests? You need Premium. My take? I understand the move. Less spam, and more "thought-out" connection requests. (Less spam → I support) 4. Viewing your leads is Premium-only Got a Services tab on your profile? You can only check client proposals if you're on Premium... Speechless. 5. Viewing Profile visitors is Premium-only Profile Viewers no longer show the top 5 if you're not on Premium. You'll need Premium to view ANY Profile Viewers from now on. My take? Good. This feature is worth paying for if you're running a business. 6. Profiles can have multiple banners now You can now add more than 1 banner so it looks like a slide show. However? It's an auto-play slider. It's moving too quickly. You can't "slide" it at all. Sooo.. purpose? 7. Comments get re-organized after Hour 1 This is only visible to post authors, not post viewers. After the 1st hour, your unreplied comments show up on top as a reminder. My take? Great. You are now actively encouraged to engage with your audience. (Also, could just be me? → haven't seen others talk about this commenting thingie) There are a few more... Next time. 😊 Now let's chat. How are you enjoying these changes? Have you seen all of these already? Anything else you've caught? P.S. Repost the news for your network. ♻️ Thanks!
I like the post preview and multiple banners feature But I recently discovered I can’t see more than three profiles when searching for people to connect with. That’s one feature I don’t like.
That's premium Point no 5 is actually bothering Jasmin 🙄 What about eho can't afford it?
Wowza! All insights digested and explained by Jasmin! My take? 1. much better, as no need to do an extra click 2. I constantly see numbers like 7, 7.100.000 views, is that just me? 3. More spam as more people will turn to unpersonalized invites (bad move) 4. Unbelievable indeed 5. Worth paying for indeed, now also available on Premium Pages 6. Yep, too fast. And I can't edit anymore, the pencil is gone 🫠 7. Haven't seen this, I use Aware for my engagement. Thanks man! When you comin' to Valencia?
LinkedIn updates are coming in hotter than a Monday morning cold pitch. Love the comment reordering and post previews, but 5 personalised notes a month? Feels like rationing tea bags in a crisis. What’s your verdic just LinkedIn tinkering for the sake of it?
Jasmin Alić I watched your masterclass (Post Roast) in the morning, and immediately started reorganizing my banner😉 When I wanted to upload it, noticed a slideshow that you can add there. I wouldn’t go for that. These slideshows were popular on websites a few years ago, but I wouldn’t say they add much to readability🙄
Never been a fan of premium - and don’t think they can push me into bying it 🙃
How to use the platform when you don't know anything about it.
Help Jasmin Alić! I clicked on add a banner (6.) which did not add it to the previous but replaced it. Any suggestions from the group?
My LI doesn't have these features… do you have to turn them on?

1dJasmin Alić I can’t get Premium right now. So this makes me nervous. It seems they’re making it more and more impossible to use this platform at all unless you pay. Which is how Twitter is now .You can’t even flick through and look at a few things without messages to upgrade flashing in a gaudy way. And there’s plenty of people who I had on my last account (that was banned.due to impostering people even without logging on for months) but I have people and followed accounts. I lost all that. And they do it here too much. It’s not getting ugly and scary for someone like me who has yet to make a dime. I’m not complaining about that, I have work to do. But how can I do it effectively while they keep removing tools that help me move forward so I’ll be able to pay premium prices? This is when greed has taken over.
