Happy Friday! Not too long until Christmas...are you set?
When it comes to LinkedIn, I've got you!!
Are you ready to see a recap of the most impactful LinkedIn updates to get you ready for 2024? ??
Stick the kettle on, grab a festive cuppa (baileys coffee for me) and let's go!
Read on for some top tips and some fabulous festive goodies....
? Festive Tip - Time to Reconnect
It’s the perfect time of the year for you to download your LinkedIn connections into a CSV file and browse through.
You are probably connected to some great people (clients, prospects, partners, suppliers, peers, potential collabs etc.) that you’ve forgotten about.
Especially if they don't post regular quality content.
Likewise, you may see some people that you want to disconnect with and that’s fine it's your network after all (they won’t get notified!).
It's the perfect time of the year to Marie Kondo and do a cleanse....
Some of you may need to do a cleanse before you can scale!
? Did you know you can also download LinkedIn posts and comments?
If you don't use a scheduler and are scratching your head for content ideas for 2024 you can turn your existing content into an archive!

? Profile Videos
Profile videos were removed on December 14th 2023!
It's a shame as people really get a sense of who you are when they see you speaking for a few seconds - they know whether you're for them or not.
They judge you in terms of likability and credibility.
It saves so much time wasting - DMs, emails, zoom calls / face to face....
All is not lost though ??
You can still make your video the first thing others see when they visit your Profile.
Simply share it as a LinkedIn post like I've done HERE and link it to the Featured section of your?Profile
We're curious as human beings and will click play if we see a video of you!!
? Personalised Connection Requests
LinkedIn are rolling out a limit on personalised connection requests worldwide for the free version. The days of organic reach are dwindling.
Maybe you've already noticed the restrictions on your account? I spotted I had 20 credits left a day or two ago. Anyone else?
You'll now be restricted to sending between 5 to 15 connection request notes each month. It's still in beta so it will vary from one account to another.
If you don't yet have the restriction on your account - make sure you're using the feature right now to make the most of it!
I've always been a fan of personalising invites. I consider it polite etiquette.
I'm Gen X and also an introvert / HSP and I want to know why people are reaching out to me. I'm not a mind reader....
My network is precious and I've spent a long time building it. I don't accept everyone so please make it easier for me to know if we're a right fit!
If it's not a win / win I won't be connecting with you.
On the flip side I find that most people who don't personalise are usually the ones that pitch slap you in the first or second message (human or bot!). Anyone else?
I get that LinkedIn want to control spam and automation. I also get that LinkedIn is a business and naturally want to encourage members to upgrade. It's fair....
BUT do you need to upgrade to Premium?
To avoid all of this you could simply upgrade but you don't need to - some ways around the restriction are:
Don't upgrade to Premium if you've:
In short, you can't polish a turd.
Upgrading to Premium does not make your profile "premium". You should get the free version of LinkedIn working before you consider any kind of paid upgrade.
Otherwise you're literally throwing money in the bin and I don't want that for you!
? AI - Chat GPT Prompt
There is no escaping AI eh...
I'm not a fan of automation in DMs however AI is a useful 'content assistant' for any type of online marketing. If you want to want to explore ChatGPT check out these 2 super useful LinkedIn prompts (you're welcome!)
AI is the way of the future like social media was the way of the future 20+ years ago... neither are going away so best to keep in the loop!
? Content Tip - Year Review
Ready to sign off for 2023 and take a well earned Christmas break?
Could you do a post similar to this one?
Year end is always a great time to reflect (and get noticed)...
Do people know how to work with you? This post may give you inspiration!
It's one that I'll repurpose again and again....
Ok now on to some more goodies for you!!!

I would love you to Subscribe to 'LinkedIn Connectivity'?(7.5k+ followers)
P.S. You may recall that I did monthly breakdown articles / newsletters on LinkedIn changes for 3.5 years (2020/21/22 and some of 23). I've since pivoted to doing more general newsletters like this.
If you're considering pivoting in your business you may be interested in signing up for 'The Pivot Narratives Project' which will be taking place over January.
Every day a story of change will be featured and I'm talking in one about changing my ideal client and general direction in business. So many of us can feel like change is failure but it's not! It's all part of our journey.

Hi, I'm Jen Corcoran.
I’m one of?the UK’s most successful LinkedIn trainers.
They call me the Super Connector because I help introverted, empathic and sensitive female coaches, consultants and creatives attract their ideal client?to reach that next level of revenue without having to resort to paid ads or awkward cold outreach.? Think 'in flow' versus forced hustle mode.
Originally from Dublin, I live in Devon, England by the sea with my husband Mike.
I'm a chatty, connection-focused introvert / empath / HSP, oat latte and travel lover. I’ve helped thousands of people just like you?thrive through my online courses, consulting, workshops and talks.
What separates me from 99% of LinkedIn specialists is that I believe in using LinkedIn holistically according to your?personality,?energy?and?goals.
No one-size fits all!
I look forward to helping you shine on LinkedIn. ?

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?”
Marianne Williamson
