🍴You're more than your job title

Some LinkedIn advice.

You don’t have to be one-dimensional on LinkedIn.

You don’t have to ask, “Should I talk about this OR this?”

You should say, “I’m talking about this AND this.”

You’re allowed to talk about things outside of your industry.

You can talk about your hobbies, family, interests, etc.

You’re more than your job title.

Your content can AND should reflect that.

Now, I realize it might feel strange talking about topics outside of your profession, but sharing your personal side humanizes your profile.

It creates a connection.

It bridges the gap between you and others.

If you’re feeling stumped, here are five post ideas:

What book are you currently reading?

What’s the title?

What have you learned so far?

Share your feedback + a picture of the cover or a picture of a quote you highlighted.

What’s your favorite quote?

Speaking of quotes, what’s your favorite?

Share it and explain why you like it.

Solitude.

If you’re a parent enjoying a hot cup of coffee in silence, document it and share your plans for the day.

Do you have a hobby?

Let’s say you love thrifting on the weekends. Talk about how you got started, the joy it brings, and your best finds!

Vacation vibes.

If you’re using your PTO for an awesome vacation, talk about it.

Snap a picture and talk about where you’re at and what you love most about taking some time to regroup and recharge.

Your life experiences, both personally and professionally, are excellent sources of content.

Write about what you want AND enjoy the ride :)
