10 free advices to LINKEDIN
LinkedIn has grown to become a key platform for professional networking, job searching, and brand building, but there’s always room for improvement. Here are ten areas where LinkedIn could enhance the user experience
1. Enhanced Content Discovery
- Issue: The feed often shows repetitive posts and updates, while valuable niche content can get buried.
- Improvement: More advanced content discovery algorithms and filters, similar to Reddit, could help users find relevant discussions and thought leaders in their industries.
2. Better Messaging System
- Issue: Messaging on LinkedIn lacks robust organization features, making it hard to manage conversations effectively.
- Improvement: Features like labels, folders, and message pinning would help users organize their inboxes and keep track of important conversations.
3. More Transparent Job Application Insights
- Issue: Users often don't get enough feedback after applying for jobs, making it hard to understand why they weren’t selected.
- Improvement: LinkedIn could work with companies to provide more insights into the application process, like which skills were missing or which stage the candidate reached. And can have a comment section just below the JOB post
4. Improved Algorithm for Endorsements & Recommendations
- Issue: Skills endorsements often don’t align with users' actual skills or professional focus.
- Improvement: LinkedIn could use AI to analyze user activity and recommend more accurate endorsements, as well as encourage users to update skills based on recent job roles or projects.
5. Better Spam Control in Connections and Messages
- Issue: Many users receive spammy connection requests and sales pitches in their inboxes.
- Improvement: Implementing more advanced spam filters and allowing users to categorize or report specific connection requests could help reduce this issue.
6. Customisable Newsfeed
- Issue: The newsfeed can feel cluttered, with content from various sources that may not align with users’ interests.
- Improvement: More customization options, such as the ability to prioritize or mute specific types of content (e.g., job updates, thought leadership posts), would help users focus on what matters most to them.

7. More Inclusive Networking Options
- Issue: The platform can feel biased toward established professionals and doesn’t always serve newcomers or those changing industries well.
- Improvement: LinkedIn could create features that help bridge the gap between experienced professionals and those starting out, such as “mentor match” programs or industry-switching guides.
8. Profile Analytics for Non-Premium Users
- Issue: Detailed insights into who views a user’s profile are locked behind a paywall, limiting engagement for non-premium users.
- Improvement: Offering basic analytics or occasional previews could keep more users engaged without needing to subscribe to a premium account.
9. More Dynamic Job Search Filters
- Issue: The job search feature can be too rigid, making it difficult to find roles that match specific preferences, like remote work or part-time options.
- Improvement: LinkedIn could add more granular filters, like flexibility in work hours, team size, and company culture, making the job search more tailored.
10. Simplified Content Creation Tools
- Issue: The process for creating posts, especially articles or multimedia content, can be clunky and less intuitive.
- Improvement: Enhancing content creation tools, including more user-friendly formatting options and templates for articles or posts, could encourage more high-quality content sharing.
These improvements could help LinkedIn create a more user-friendly and effective platform for both job seekers and professionals looking to network.
