January 26, 2024
In this episode, we have Nigel Thomas, CEO of Alpha Inbound, talk about the importance of building a personal brand on LinkedIn.
Did you know that there are 875 million people who use LinkedIn, but only 1% of those people post content, and only 10% engage?
What does that mean?
Well it means there is a lot of opportunity to build a personal brand on LinkedIn. While it can feel flooded with content, the truth is it is not.
And there's no way to know who is actually consuming your content because 90% of people don't engage. But they are there, reading, watching, and learning from you.
