?? Are You A Curious Person of The Future?
String Nguyen
Digital Entrepreneur & Marketing Coach ?? Social media: 100K followers ?? Helping smart people with easy marketing and content tips
FINALLY! I am doing something new. Previously, I've been creating a library of succinct video content. Now, I am able to create long-form content and explore things in greater detail.
In this new article series, I'm introducing my train of thought about the universe - I can be a String of Things.
A Quick Update About My Adventure So Far...
I was first invited to be a beta user for LinkedIn video, I set a plan to be a video channel on LinkedIn. I took a few key points into consideration:
- ?? The content has to cater to a newsfeed experience
- ??What kind of audience is the channel catering to?
- ??What kind of channel is it?
- ??Change my connection request to a “follow” button
Then I grew my channel from 0 to 30,000 followers in 14 months and won LinkedIn's Top Voice in 2017 and 2018.
In 2018...Out of 10 million LinkedIn users in Australia, I’m a top 20 content creator.
Here are some LinkedIn content I like to share with you:
- ?? My 1st LinkedIn video went viral
- ?? LinkedIn Trends for 2019
- ?? Building your personal brand using video
- ?? How to stand out with these LinkedIn Profile tips
- ?? How to use fried chicken as part of community engagement
- ?? The art of creating virality on LinkedIn
Then my inner marketing voice points out:
“Hey String,
There’s no market segmentation in LinkedIn.
How are you going to engage in fruitful and meaningful conversations?”
That changed in October 2018, I noticed a feature was being rolled out and I drooled. Viewer and readers alive can subscribe to a series of LinkedIn articles. Subscribers can be pinged and notified when the author’s articles are live.
I've written an article entitled: “New Bi-Weekly Series”. During that time, I thought that this feature was public. It’s not. Actually, it’s still in the pilot phase.
Fast forward to early 2019, I’m lucky to be invited to test this feature out. I can say that I got the feature I drooled over - the subscribe button is an important piece to segmentation.
My new series is called "String's Theory"
Typically, String theory is a system of ideas that unifies the four fundamental forces of the universe and their interactions. I will not be directly looking into String Theory however I am a String and I am delving into a new dialog of content looking into the different systems of ideas on this world.
I'm far from a science geek, but I'm a curious person who loves knowing what the future looks like. In the last few years I've been building a network of brains where I can talk to them about AI, Creativity, Decentralization, and other geeky trends.
I love simplifying the complexities and talking to these super geeks.
Also, I believe "creativity" is the basis of innovation. Not just for tech, but the creativity that's focuses on empathy and intelligence. But how is creativity being utilized in tech?
With the increase of technology and the rapid growth rate of being a social norm, what does it mean for us humans?
- ??Can AI save us humans, or make us better as a society?
- ??What does creativity mean for business and as human?
- ??What kind of future do we want for our kids?
- ??With the use of tech,can we eradicate racism and other ism?
- ?? How do we use tech for biz and build sustainably?
I plan to explore and go deep into such topics. Thinking about it is both interesting and scary.
If you're a… ?? Curious person.... ??Future adventurist... ??Tech Geek... ?? or an awesome human being...
Engage in the dialog called “String’s Theory” and subscribe to my series.

6 年This is an interesting development for LinkedIn. It's akin to Medium's publishers, or your standard magazine / journal in more traditional media. It'd be interesting to see what happens if (like Medium publishing) you invite other writers that align with your voice and, of course, focus. That would help you move into an editorial role and ease some of the heavy lifting.
