LinkedIn is trying to raise the profile of sharing on the business network, with the introduction of LinkedIn Elevate.
According to LinkedIn, the more that individuals share, the more their business benefits.
LinkedIn Elevate combines algorithmic recommendations from LinkedIn Pulse and Newsle, and human curation, to equip employees with a ready stream of relevant content they can share. LinkedIn Elevate Makes It Easier To Share Content [blog.linkedin.com]
Sharing is simple with the LinkedIn Elevate iOS, Android, and desktop apps. Employees can easily share content on LinkedIn and Twitter, and take advantage of LinkedIn Elevate’s intelligent scheduling capabilities to ensure their content gets shared when their networks are most active.
Employees can see how many times content they’ve shared has been liked, commented on, and reshared, and how many people it reached. Soon they’ll get even more insights, like who viewed their profile and requested to connect as a result of the content they shared.
