KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The 'People You May Know' feature on the LinkedIn profile page is a helpful tool for finding new leads, but its effectiveness depends on how you use LinkedIn for your voice over business.
- LinkedIn now limits free users to five personal notes per month, but you can still send connection requests without a personal note and follow up with a message after the request is accepted.
- Consider upgrading to a premium LinkedIn profile to access AI capabilities that can assist with messaging, content creation, and personalized messages for celebrations.
- Hashtags on LinkedIn are being phased out as AI technology is used to determine the content of posts and push them to the right audience. Focus on including relevant keywords in your posts instead.
- Posting external links on LinkedIn can reduce organic reach, so consider uploading videos and content natively to the platform to maximize visibility.
- LinkedIn is testing a video feed feature, making it a potential platform for video creators to explore and share their content.
