STRATEGIES FOR USING
LINKEDIN FOR MASTERFUL
CONTENT MARKETING IN 2016
In order to have even your best
content get seen, consider reusing it,
posting at least 10 times on different
days and times…creative and copy.
One piece of great content can turn
into a huge opportunity, as long as you
reuse and recycle.
Don’t forget to cross-promote within
your LinkedIn Groups and via your
personal profile . . . [and] tap into the
power of your employees as an
extension of your marketing team.
In 2016, the content producers and
marketers who will come out ahead
will be the ones who treat LinkedIn as
a serious distribution opportunity.
Don’t be afraid to test out new
features, schedule content at
optimum times via automation tools
such as Buffer and publish content on
personal profiles as well as brand and
showcase pages.
Have employees share & post your
content: Your employees are your
biggest advocates. . . 99% of the top
global brands had employees share
to their networks.
See who [in your organization] has
the most connections and [publish
through them] then combine it with a
topic your audience wants to read.
You'll have a lethal and powerful
content marketing post.
To break through [the clutter], skip the
click bait, and opt for substance. It is
better to have a piece of quality
content read by few readers than a
puff piece ready by many.
[Your blog] needs images that share
automatically when people hit the
social sharing buttons [and] need to
be tested to see what it looks like
when the content is shared. If people
won't look good sharing… they won’t.
Leverage LinkedIn as a listening tool to
inform future content. Learn about
challenges faced by users in LinkedIn
Group discussions, then develop
content to solve those challenges.
Using Direct Sponsored Content (DSC)
on LinkedIn marketers can A/B test
creative and copy, personalize content
in the feed, and control what content
you publish on your company page
