Sleaze-free Strategies to Make the Most out of LinkedIn for Your Service-Based Business
PLEASE NOTE: We had a number of technical issues with this recording and it is a little jumbled in parts. Ella does share a lot of great tips so it's worth a listen.

LinkedIn - you either love it or hate it, it seems. Regardless of personal preference, there’s no denying the potential this powerhouse platform has to offer small businesses.
According to the annual Digital Trust Report by Business Insider Intelligence, LinkedIn was the most trusted social media platform for 5 years running, up until 2022 when Pinterest took the top spot (we all can figure out why. Where were we? At home, not networking).
The report states that people feel LinkedIn is the place that shows the least amount of fake news and spammy content, it’s the platform where we feel the safest to share, post and comment, and where we feel our personal data is most secure.
LinkedIn is now 20 years old - which is no mean feat in terms of social media staying power and, while you might think LinkedIn is the Boomer Dad of social platforms, it’s safe to say you could be missing out on creating genuine connections with potential clients if you’re not considering it in your social media mix.
So if you’ve been wondering if LinkedIn is the right platform for your service-based business, stick around.
Joining us today to explore this platform’s possibilities and pitfalls is personal branding coach, social media trainer, and LinkedIn expert, Ella Orr from @muchmoresocial. And you really want to stick around, because has an exclusive offer for anyone who listens through the interview. You just have to catch the secret password.
