Why is LinkedIn So Popular?!

Hello, there,

You’re here because you want harmony in every post. Each day, we are committed to making sure it happens for our customers. We know the benefits of a strong social strategy, and we know the downfalls of a failed plan. With harmony in each post, we help our customers boost engagement and connect more deeply with their audiences. Today we’re diving into the reasons behind LinkedIn’s popularity in 2024.

If you have a job, or have ever looked for one, you probably created a LinkedIn account at some point. Although LinkedIn has been around since its launch in 2003, it has stood the test of time. Today it is the go-to gathering place for the professional community. Here, people share personal thoughts and the thoughts of others — all while highlighting their own skills to stay interview-ready. LinkedIn is thriving in 2024 because it survived the pandemic and created yet another space for engagement when the world desperately sought connection.

Furthermore, LinkedIn leaders monitored and adjusted. The result is an ever-evolving platform that didn’t lose its identity and grew its users.

Innovation and User Experience

It doesn’t matter how cool your concept may be to your board members. If you aren’t leading in innovative practices and creating better user experiences, your brand will become boring.

LinkedIn has followed these best practices by taking advantage of innovative solutions like incorporating Artificial Intelligence technology to help with your profile. Writing a summary about your decades-long job history just got easier. LinkedIn also has innovative ways to showcase your profile, including recommendations and endorsements.

Job seekers can add even more of their experience with a list of a maximum of 100 skills or services. Previously, the limit was 50. For premium members, there is also an option to create a  custom button. Invite followers to read your blog or book an appointment, for example. Of course, LinkedIn continues to offer training and resources for professionals seeking advancement.

The Role of LinkedIn in the Post-Pandemic World

When everyone was working from home, LinkedIn didn’t take it as a loss. Instead, the leaders adapted and grew their community. LinkedIn may have started with one particular group of job-seekers, but it has expanded to a diverse group — both in demographics and industries.

LinkedIn has adapted to the changing job market by understanding the importance of “remote” in job postings. The platform has also helped to connect employers and employees who are like-minded in what this new working environment should look like in 2024.

Recruiter features include advanced filters, including the “Open to work” filter. InMail templates are available, and bulk messaging also helps recruiters work smarter and not harder. Connecting in these ways makes remote hiring, virtual networking and professional development much more convenient. Another benefit is how LinkedIn helps recruiting teams avoid duplication by sharing searches and results.

Content Diversity and Quality

From articles to webinars to podcast recommendations, LinkedIn positions thought leaders on the front page. The platform also makes it easy to find conversations that matter most to an individual. The diversity across industries creates a space where there is something to read for everyone.

Regardless of whether you are a thought leader or simply posting your thoughts, LinkedIn has a common rule: keep it professional. If you take a quick look at the other social media platforms, it won’t take long to see the difference. LinkedIn has set clear expectations that high-quality content that performs best.

LinkedIn’s Impact on B2B Marketing

LinkedIn makes it easy for a brand to know who is talking about them on the platform. The knowledge helps them know more about their audience — and if their product or service is truly providing a solution. B2B marketing is big business, and LinkedIn is a great place to share your content and increase your brand awareness in a clear, concise, and consistent manner.

If you are a LinkedIn page administrator, you have access to dig deeper into the analytics. You can explore the list of your competitors, followers, content, and more.
