?? Self-tagging on LinkedIn increases your view counts. WHAT? This will be one of the weirdest LinkedIn tips ever if it works. My colleague Karen Tisdell, a LinkedIn trainer in Australia, has done tests to show that tagging yourself at the end of LinkedIn posts could increase your profile views by 28%. This makes zero sense but perhaps it works(?) We must always test these things. To avoid messing with this test, I'm going to tag Karen and link to her post in the comments. I'll keep the hashtags, though (remember not to use more than 3 per post, as per LinkedIn's official advice). #LinkedInLearnerLounge #LinkedInTips #SocialMedia EXPERIMENT RESULTS AFTER 30 DAYS https://lnkd.in/gZXsQn5
Ok that's weird but I will give it a go...
Hmmmm... I'm still trying to get comfortable with liking my own posts!
Like Lonneke Macauley I’m intrigued - definitely worth an experiment, I look forward to hearing about the results John Espirian
Might it also make it easier to find past posts? I know that going through my activity list can be quite daunting if I want to find something specific. Tagging yourself would also add it to the notifications.
Love to know the outcome of your test! Seems slightly self indulgent to tag yourself!
What are your thoughts on this Zena Scott?
Who would have thought it ??♀?
I have just seen Donna Serdula?mention about the three hashtags rule and I have replied to her post (found here: https://www.dhirubhai.net/posts/todonna_influencer-insight-linkedintips-activity-6622120993110450176-PFjW), but you have sort of confirmed what I was thinking. As for the tagging yourself at the end of each post ... REALLY?? It's beyond bananas. But here goes nothing (probably). Jamie B.
