Newsletters Revisited
With the demise of Creator mode, or the opening of creator mode to everyone (however you wish to view it!) imminent, it probably opens up the possibility of all LinkedIn™️ users having the opportunity to create their own newsletters.
So it seems a good time to have a new look at this feature so that you can decide whether you will be be going down that track.

This month we will see Creator mode disappearing and with it, the obligation to have 'Follow' as the primary option on your profile so I thought it was worth revisiting the persistent question...Connect or Follow?
That plus;
New Recruiter & Learning tools that assist retention but might also have the the polar opposite impact!
New Privacy setting

Fixing The Feed
Has your feed changed recently? Are you seeing posts from people who are unfamiliar to you?

This week I discuss what we can do to fix this.
That plus;
AI comments are getting very annoying!
The real reason customised invitations are being limited and a cool workaround.
A very sneaky change to your data privacy settings

Great Learning from Mark Williams - Both On
Mark really is “Mr LinkedIn” and shares such valuable content. I have been following him on LinkedIn for quite awhile and enjoy listening to his podcast. As a regular subscriber, I’ve had the pleasure of listening to many episodes. Whether he’s chatting on his own or interviewing a stellar guest, I’m always amazed how time flies listening to the Linkedinformed Podcast.
The title is true - this podcast is informative :)
Just started listening a few weeks ago. Have found the host’s style to be charming and easy to listen to. I’ve learned quite a lot in a short time. 5-stars.
