‍

#1. Personalize Your LinkedIn Business Page

‍

‍

On LinkedIn, there are tens of millions of corporate pages. Personalize your company page to make it stand out from the crowd.

#2 Thought Leadership

‍

Businesses desire to be associated with thought leaders, which may seem self-evident. 

‍

According to a survey conducted by Edelman and LinkedIn on the impact of B2B thought leadership, 89 percent of brands believe that thought leadership has improved their perceptions of a company.

Write about the crises, corporate challenges, employee care, customer happiness, and other issues that drive demand for thought leadership content.

‍

Joining a LinkedIn group focused on a specific niche can help you establish thought leadership more quickly. These groups can help you to create a more active community.

Utilize LinkedIn groups as a debate forum rather than a vehicle for self-promotion; use them as a catalyst for thought leadership; generate thought-provoking conversations about industry trends and challenges and ask questions.

Make an effort to be consistent and available at strategic times for your group.
