Does anyone know how to READ any more or are they relying upon LinkedIn algorithms? I have just received a request purported to be from <[email protected]> to review and sign a document with a further reference in the subject line to "EFT/ACH_Remittance Advice (Full Paymt) Signature. I am inclined to regard it as a phfishing scheme, as I have no reason either to register for any classes with Marietta College or expect that Marietta would contact me to make a purchase. Granted it was an email and not a sponsored LinkedIn message, but it does provide me with an opportunity to make some general observations, and since I choose not use any other social media site, post them specifically to LinkedIn, about the increased frequency since my recognition by Marquis' Who's Who in America was announced at LinkedIn, of connection requests from persons whose profiles strike me as "phony"--no bio section, no experience section, etc., along with few if any connections, or sponsored messages offering services a quick perusal of my profiles would show I am UNLIKELY to reply. For example, I have gotten multiple solicitations concerning investors with an expectation of equity in my Centropix business. I question the competence of ANYONE who would expect a business that is only MONTHS GO could have a cash flow that would interest serious investors. I question the competence of anyone offering SEO services to me who does not have sufficient familiarity with genealogy to recognize the need to factor Ancestry dot com into any recommended strategy. I question the competence of anyone offering me legal management software when I am an independent contract for multiple law firms and NOT AN ACTUAL LAW FIRM! I could go on, but I believe I have made my point--it irritates me to no end how many "marketers" do not do any real research, instead using lead-generators that oversell their ability to deliver on their promises. #LinkedInSponsoredMessages; #LinkedInAlgorithms; #ColdCalling; #LightWeightLinkedInProfiles;

Think LinkedIn Won’t Work for Lawyers? Think Again. “I don’t think LinkedIn is for me.” “My clients aren’t on LinkedIn.” “Lawyers don’t get business from social media.” We hear these objections all the time. But here’s the thing: LinkedIn does work for lawyers. When you use it the right way. Your clients might not be active on LinkedIn, but their decision-makers are. From business owners to HR managers, people look to LinkedIn for solutions. It’s not just about clients. Speaking gigs, partnerships, media features, these all start with visibility. LinkedIn is a search engine. Optimising your profile helps you appear in searches for your expertise. The key is showing up consistently and strategically. That’s why we created the LinkedIn Starter Pack for Lawyers to help lawyers like you turn LinkedIn into a client-winning tool. Try it for yourself. https://lnkd.in/ek5WKeWb

We need help #linkedinhelp .... Our team members created a #linkedin account and after a few days they were asked to verify (same with me). After we were successfully verified, we got another request for verification some days later (we were logged out of our accounts). We completed the verification process with the same information as before but this time, only my account was reopened, the rest were denied. We sent an email to #linkedinhelp complaining and requesting for our accounts to be opened or what needs to be addressed. but we received no response. What can we do please? ?LinkedIn LinkedIn Guide to Creating #linkedin #linkedinsupport #customerexperience #linkedinsales #linkedinmarketing #help

Hello LinkedIn Community, As we strive to connect, share insights, and advance professionally on this platform, let's remember the core values of LinkedIn: building strong professional relationships and fostering career growth. Lately, I've observed an uptick in political discussions on my feed. While staying informed is crucial, I believe LinkedIn should remain a space free from the divisiveness that politics can sometimes bring. Let's focus our discussions on career advice, industry trends, and opportunities for development. Together, we can cultivate a positive and fruitful environment for everyone's benefit. Thank you for your understanding and for contributing to maintaining LinkedIn as a platform that supports our professional growth. On another note, we're launching an app to assist in saving lives in vulnerable communities. Do you know someone who requires extra support? We're here to help. Are you aware of an organization that could benefit from our app through revenue sharing? Introduce us, and we'll provide you with a monthly referral commission. Feel free to reach out through a private message to discuss how you can earn a commission for helping us make a difference.
