Thinking "Outside-the-Box" with Kudos

When it comes to lifting up other people in the marketplace are you so excited you simply can’t hide it? Well, let’s get in the right frame-of-mind by watching a video. Check out this link - https://youtu.be/g6A6pMO_WKM.

Keep in mind, it is always better for someone else to wave your flag than for you to wave your own flag. So, why not think “outside-the-box” and start the process by surprising other people and making the first move?

I recommend using LinkedIn Kudos to wish folks a happy birthday, congratulate on a new job or job anniversary. But, you don’t have to use a Kudo to accomplish just one thing. You can use a single Kudo for many different things all at the same time. Just provide a variety of links within a single Kudo. Here is an example of what I am talking about. Just post the information below in a single Kudo:

Share-Your-News @ https://lnkd.in/d5RPB5X

Get-Emails @ https://b.link/Get-Emails

ConnectWithUs(Slack Channel visibility) @ https://lnkd.in/e3mhz8Y

#betterbusinessnetworking

The first web address is for a LinkedIn article. The second link is for a Google Form. The third link is for a second Google Form. The fourth link is for a LinkedIn Group. The fifth link is for a LinkedIn hashtag. It all shows up very nicely in a single LinkedIn Kudo.

Social Media Online Resources. Below is an online spreadsheet with many of the online resources I have found to be beneficial. Perhaps there are some you are currently using. Perhaps there are some you are not currently using, but will find beneficial. Be sure to click the Google Sheet image and take a look. (Even if you have seen this Google Sheet before, I encourage you to take a second look as the contents continue to change and grow.

Now, it's time to get feedback from you, the readers of this LinkedIn long-form post (article). I desire to see this article become a blog. That means, I need feedback. Surely you have questions and/or comments. I cordially invite you to share them. 

Are you going to use LinkedIn Kudos in an "outside-the-box" fashion as suggested by this article? Are you going to include links to articles, websites and videos?

I also encourage you to take advantage of the following links showcased when this article was introduced. (Be sure to copy/paste the links into your browser rather than simply click on them as these are shortened links and may not work within the LinkedIn platform.)

Share-Your-News @ https://lnkd.in/d5RPB5X : Here is a great way for those of you who write LinkedIn articles to get them shared by other people (not just me) on other LinkedIn Groups. Remember, it is ALWAYS better to have someone else wave your flag than to wave it yourself. To help make that happen, simply fill out the Google Form and submit it.

Get-Emails @ https://www.dhirubhai.net/redir/general-malware-page?url=http%3A%2F%2Fb%2elink%2FGet-Emails : While many may understand why LinkedIn removed the email addresses, profile web addresses and phone numbers from the LinkedIn CSV downloads, they may not be too happy about it. Well, a Google Form, properly set up and shared may help you recoup this lost information. I encourage you to set up just such a form and share it with your Level 1 connections. You may be pleasantly surprised at the results.

ConnectWithUs @ https://lnkd.in/e3mhz8Y : Do you desire to have more Level 1 LinkedIn connections? One way to do just that is to join my LinkedIn Group - The Better Together Approach - which features a special discussion thread that actually promotes that activity. 

I encourage you to become a follower of all my posts concerning the hashtag #betterbusinessnetworking. Should you wish to speak with me, just schedule a conference call at https://calendly.com/thinkteam/lamar-morgan.

Meanwhile, make it a great week. Stay safe.
