Linkedin & Its Expanding Platform By Social Media Agencies

By Paula Hess


LinkedIn is a website that, during the past year or so, gave users the control of posting their own content. Specifically, 330 million individuals have taken to LinkedIn in order to speak about their areas of work. What this resulted in is a broader platform, which I'm sure any and all social media agencies can see as a strong point. With that said, it seems like this website is going to broaden even further, if recent reports and stories are to be believed.

LinkedIn recently announced that it has opened its publishing platform up to all English-speaking countries in the world. What this means is that the aforementioned 330 million users has the potential to increase by 230 million. It's tremendous, to say the least, because of the types of posts shared on LinkedIn. They offer advice to those in similar fields and they cover any and all major developments to boot. Why wouldn't a concept like this prove to be useful?

LinkedIn, without question, has its own sense of appeal compared to other social media websites. For one, you have to know that this website is based on business, which isn't necessarily the case for other networking sites. Nonetheless, there is still a social element that is seen with LinkedIn. It's this very element that will have the attention of social media agencies, as they will make it a point to utilize it as much as possible for long-term success.

It's easy to see that engagement can occur, on various networks, but only if the capabilities are present. This should always be the case, though, especially when considering that social media agencies rely on the engagement in question. Of course, in the case of LinkedIn, not every user has had access to this. To say that this been a problem would be an understatement. Fortunately, with this platform's expansion, firms the likes of fishbat may start to see heightened results.

Linked, when used well, has the potential to produce some of the most positive results in social media engagement. This is heightened by the fact that this platform has expanded over the course of time, allowing more and more people to use the site's publishing functionality. Of course, the ultimate success of this movement is hard to predict. If it is allowed the time to grow and develop, though, I am sure that LinkedIn will become an even better website to stay involved in.
