I& #39;ve been using LinkedIn for the past ~8 months
here& #39;s a thread of what you can do to actually make LinkedIn usable, hate it less, and get great opportunities from it
here& #39;s a thread of what you can do to actually make LinkedIn usable, hate it less, and get great opportunities from it
1/ Don& #39;t connect with randoms
most people just accept everyone while some people just accept people they know
what worked best for me was connecting with people from the same industry, city, job, college, etc

2/ Change your connect button to follow
not only will this increase your followers, it would let you control your network and inbox messages even more
it& #39;s like a 2-step verification process if that makes sense

3/ Tweak your feed
if you& #39;re viewing your feed and you hate it, unfollow people that make it bad
you don& #39;t have to disconnect with them because they can lead you to your next opportunities
just unfollow them

4/ Accept the culture
LinkedIn is very different from Twitter
it& #39;s more professional, cringey at times, and yes, people actually post with A TON of line breaks
but if you don& #39;t have a huge Twitter network, it& #39;s still the best place to get career/business opportunities

5/ Create content
next to TikTok, LinkedIn is probably the only social media platform right now which has insane organic reach
your content could be viewed by 20,000 people even if you only have 100 connections/followers

6/ Engage with relevant people& #39;s content
if you want to get in a company, engage with the employees of that company
if you want to connect with a top business leader, engage with that leader& #39;s posts
make sure you leave the best and most valuable comment
