So now I want to take you into LinkedIn and I'll show you and discuss some of what we just went over
while looking at my LinkedIn account, my LinkedIn profile, my LinkedIn activity, etc., etc..
So let's go take a look.
So I'm in Google Chrome and this is my LinkedIn in dark mode.
I've enabled dark mode because I stare at this all day long and I've discovered it's much more comfortable
in my eyes.
By the way, you enable dark mode by going into settings and privacy and making that adjustment very
simply across the top.
You can click on the the white in where you click on the word home.
It brings you back to the LinkedIn slash feed, which is the home page.
My network will take me over to see what invitations I've got so I can look and see who sent me an invitation.
But I'll also get to my connections people I follow, groups I'm in, etc., etc. from from this area
as well.
One point of interest when you're doing LinkedIn networking is always go over here, see all 39 and
manage it from what's called the Invitation Manager page.
Again, across the top I have the job section.
I don't spend a lot of time here, but I have experimented with this to understand how it works.
Then here's my messaging button.
I can get the messaging from here.
Go down here to bottom.
Right?
I get the messaging over here.
And furthermore, while I'm looking at someone's profile, look at my buddy's profile, who I have permission
to use publicly when I'm looking at his profile.
I can get the messaging right there.
So there's three ways you get the messaging from here.
Go here or go to the bottom.
Right.
And then I have my notifications.
This is an area where I pay attention to the social listening area of LinkedIn, where I can pay attention
to what's going on, what the conversations are going on, how people are engaging with me, how they're
engaging with my content, etc., etc..
Then I add the me button.
There's a lot hidden under me, so watch this the me button and go to my LinkedIn profile.
But I can also go to settings of privacy, get the help and change the language of on to.
I can go look at my post and activities and you won't have this many companies because I manage companies
for myself and for others.
But I go to my company page or showcase page here as well, and I can also go to my sales navigator
account, which I can, by the way, also get to from here.
If you're using Sales Navigator, all of that's buried under me.
And then the last button is the work button.
Work button lets me go to the other LinkedIn products, advertise post job learning.
I love LinkedIn Learning Insights, which is a premium function groups.
Can I get the groups anymore here?
Yep.
Get the groups.
I can also go to services workspace workplace where I can go look for help or look for services and
I can go to the salary tool which I haven't used a whole lot might be worth looking at.
Accountants in Los Angeles can make 50,000 a year.
That sounds low.
So all that is under.
Let me go back to it.
Boom, boom.
All that is under the work button.
And by the way, also on the work button.
Talent Solutions, which is recruiting sales solutions, which could get me to Sales Navigator, post
the job for free, it seems sort of kind of redundant marketing solutions.
These are all resources that are worth looking at, learning solutions worth looking at.
And this is where you create a LinkedIn company page or a showcase page or an education page.
But when I get done with that, I hit that X right there, hit this in right there and bring me back
to the top.
What I'm on the home page to show you a couple of things that are important to understand.
This is where you as an individual start a post.
You can click in there and you can start writing.
You can also click on photo, video, document, post a job, celebrate an occasion, do a poll, and
a few others that are buried under here, which I'll stay away and I won't dig too deep into what this
is.
Change yourself or your company, or you can change it and say, I want it to be visible by different
people.
That's when you start a post.
And by the way, I mentioned articles, there is an article right there doing an event right there over
to the left, you'll see that this is a quick way to get to my LinkedIn profile.
I can also do it for me.
I can see who's viewed my LinkedIn profile impressions of my post.
These are analytics information.
I can go to my different pages over here on the left.
I can also get the recent groups or recent events.
I can get the groups events and followed hashtag, and I'm going to discover more, click more on any
of that right there on the left hand column.
On the right hand column.
Don't spend a whole lot of time here.
But I do look at this pretty quickly, see if there's any news that popped up that I should be paying
attention to very infrequently.
I do.
But this is the home page.
And by the way, I mentioned reading the terms of services like privacy statement, user agreement,
etc., etc..
I really recommend you look at that.
And one last thing, when I'm on here, if you need help right here, click on me.
Click on help.
I almost always click on Open in a new tab and then go ask for help.
Do research to figure out the best way to get help.
