How to start building the LinkedIn you want: A step-by-step guide by a newbie (part 1/10) Identify your WHY?? The first thing that should come to our minds every time we are starting to do something new, different or daring is WHY.? Why am I doing this? This is the principal question you should ask yourself. Your WHY is your purpose and foundation of every little thing you do. You see, LinkedIn, it’s a platform that relies in networking, helping and learning, so you need to understand the platform and what you’re doing here. One of the differences I’ve notice when comparing other social media, It’s that LinkedIn isn’t here to entertain you (even though I follow some content creators that only post memes or comedy). So if you are here it’s because you want something more. And, for that you need to know what you’re looking for here. You want to hire someone? You want to be visible and valuable for potential recruiters? You want to know more people and form meaningful professional connections? You want to grow your business? Or perhaps you just want to share stories about your personal, professional and academic life? LinkedIn is for you, and can work in your goals once you know what they are. For example my WHY I am on LinkedIn it’s simple: For me, the most important thing?are meaningful and impactful connections, those that allow you to get out of your comfort zone and, above all, go beyond your personal limits and labels. I’m also soooo passionate about stories (#booklover here),and LinkedIn provides me with an infinite ocean of people from whom you can get inspired every day.? Do you already know what’s your why? Let me know in the comments, I’m excited to read all your answers! PD: even if you don’t know yet, don’t worry, this isn’t a test.???

Thanks for posting. My why is because I’m being made redundant and want to explore new opportunities and make new valuable connections in order for me to learn new things and get a job that I will enjoy doing, hopefully for the rest of my working life, that also fits with my physical limitations.
To learn more about any thing , and to find a job
Business !!
I have already defined my why, but I don't know how to start posting things here on LinkedIn, I haven't yet built an audience and I don't know how to do it. Maybe if you could help me on making my post more attractive. Oh and by the way my why is helping people get into programming, but low level; system programming, web and embedded devices.
Absolutely agree with you Shirley Santana Herrera ! Knowing the “WHY”, is the most important answer that we should know. Even for our life mission. The Aim of our life. For me, it’s also being impactful. To build a very strong network, share ideas with others and learn everyday and every moment from them. Thanks for your sharing ??????!
wow
Amazing connections are what keeps your business alive and breathing well. I am so passionnate about the people I meet and since it's harder to do it in real life like before (with events, etc.) I'm looking forward to see what's in store here. ??
That’s what I’ve been looking for. I just recently started my LinkedIn blog and was looking for some tips, which will tell me the difference between LinkedIn, and as an example, Instagram or Facebook. Thanks for your tips, hyped up for the next posts of this branch! ??
