How to Post an Article on Linked In for Attention

[hairymouse]

Remember they can do as much harm as good. I've seen some nightmares on linkedin so do try get someone that is in the know to review it first.

Hmmm. Like just looking stupid or people tearing it apart with comments? Can pople even comment?
Good point.

Case in point.

Sorry, couldn't resist...

I've written an article on Linked In but haven't published it yet. I'd like to maximise the attention I get for posting it with the hopes that it will help me somehow get a new contract or perm role. I know it's grasping at straws but it will look good on my CV and it was interesting to write. Since most of the people that connect to me are recruitment consultants it might generate some interest.

Does anyone have any ideas or strategies to do this? The content could be edited into a series of articles and I guess I could slowly publish each new one every week and then post about it with a link but I don't know how obnoxious that would be.

Seems like I would want to add some hashtags, can somebody explain how that works?

I don't ever post anything so I don't really know how it works. What should I avoid to not look foolish?

If you're comfortable outing your real identity, drop it in here when you're done and we can give it a few likes.

The trick is to get likes from people with as many followers as you can.
To get help here you will have to out yourself though...

Yep. Throughout the IR35 debacle some of these 'influencers' that help managers or organisations do something have tripped over themselves while trying to be me me and posted some right garbage. I seem to remember myself and LM plus many others firing in to one individual who got it so wrong and wouldn't back down. Total backfire.
