How Social Media Agencies May Evaluate Linkedin's Expansion

By Paula Hess


Last year, LinkedIn gave its users the ability to publish their own posts on the social media website. To say that the response has been strong would have been an understatement, as more than 330 million people have taken advantage of this very feature. With that said, the platform could have benefited from a bit of expansion, which I'm sure any and all social media agencies can attest to. As of recent times, this ability has come into being.

As of recently, LinkedIn has expanded its publishing platform - a blogging center of sorts - to all English-speaking countries. What this means is that the previous statistic has expanded, adding on 230 million more people to the previous statistic. I believe that this can only benefit LinkedIn, since there are many posts that can be made about business. This is especially true when given the litany of industries that exist under the umbrella of LinkedIn.

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.

The more people who are able to engage, on a platform, the easier it is for them to create content. When this happens, there will be a greater audience to account for, which only means good things for the capabilities social media agencies have. Because of this, I have to believe that the popularity of LinkedIn will grow. When this happens, as authorities like fishbat may attest to, it'll only make the value of the website that much greater.

As you can see, there's plenty of good that can come from the utilization of LinkedIn. This is especially true now, seeing as how more and more people stand the chance of using the platform for greater levels of engagement. Of course, the success of this development must be surveyed in time. Even though it's early to say if this will yield high results, based on past successes, I'd like to think that one would be safe in assuming that stronger results can rise to the surface.
