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 recently announced that it has opened its publishing platform up to all English-speaking countries in the world. What this means is that the aforementioned 330 million users has the potential to increase by 230 million. It's tremendous, to say the least, because of the types of posts shared on LinkedIn. They offer advice to those in similar fields and they cover any and all major developments to boot. Why wouldn't a concept like this prove to be useful?

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.

The more people who are able to engage, on a platform, the easier it is for them to create content. When this happens, there will be a greater audience to account for, which only means good things for the capabilities social media agencies have. Because of this, I have to believe that the popularity of LinkedIn will grow. When this happens, as authorities like fishbat may attest to, it'll only make the value of the website that much greater.

Linked, when used well, has the potential to produce some of the most positive results in social media engagement. This is heightened by the fact that this platform has expanded over the course of time, allowing more and more people to use the site's publishing functionality. Of course, the ultimate success of this movement is hard to predict. If it is allowed the time to grow and develop, though, I am sure that LinkedIn will become an even better website to stay involved in.
