How Social Media Agencies May Evaluate Linkedin's Expansion

By Paula Hess


It wasn't until last year that LinkedIn gave users the ability to publish their own content on the website. Fortunately, this move proved to be a tremendous success, as 330 million users were not only given access to strong tools but made the most out of them. Of course, expansion is never a bad thing, especially when it comes to businesses which social media agencies actively use. For those who are curious as to when this expansion will come, it seems to have happened just recently.

LinkedIn, as it's been reported, has expanded its blogging - or publishing - platform up so that all English-speaking countries in the world can access to it. As stated earlier, 330 million people had access to it; this has increased by 230 million. As a result, it's easy to see that there is a greater chance of interaction that stands to be seen. Seeing as how several businesses and industries can be spoken about, under LinkedIn, this bit of news is made that much stronger.

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.

It's easy to see that engagement can occur, on various networks, but only if the capabilities are present. This should always be the case, though, especially when considering that social media agencies rely on the engagement in question. Of course, in the case of LinkedIn, not every user has had access to this. To say that this been a problem would be an understatement. Fortunately, with this platform's expansion, firms the likes of fishbat may start to see heightened results.

It's clear that LinkedIn poses the potential to become one of the strongest channels for engagement, in general. However, it has to be utilized well, which is especially true when given the recent expansion of the website's publishing platform. Such a platform has the ability to create success, for businesses and individuals alike, but can this be done? I am sure of it, however it's difficult to say that this will be the case, especially since the development is relatively new.
