When utilized correctly, LinkedIn can be an absolute gold mine for leads, conversions, and connections for businesses and professionals.

“I just don’t think LinkedIn is really worth it”.

“How much time have you spent on LinkedIn?”

Because most people don’t use it in their professional lives as they do with Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, the knowledge doesn’t come naturally. Instead of taking the time to learn how to utilize it, they turn a blind eye to the professional social media platform and erase it from their social media strategy.

However, doing so can be a severe disadvantage and can hinder overall social media success and ROI for certain brands and businesses. Still not convinced? You can’t deny these statistics…
