LinkedIn - You Must Be There, You Must Know How to Play It

Every day, LinkedIn is becoming more and more the platform for influence. As well as for sharing news, ideas and mourning rituals. Your brand is determined by the number of followers, which LinkedIn makes public. Suppose you're not attracting a lot of likes, comments or reposts? That will ding your brand. 

No need to go outside that walled garden. What you need to know or want to experience is now available on a one-stop basis on LinkedIn.
