• Create an active presence on LinkedIn

Coursework content

Being on LinkedIn isn’t enough to get noticed. You also need to make sure that you are active on it.

LinkedIn created a Social Selling Index (https://www.linkedin.com/sales/ssi.) which shows how you are in relationship to others in your industry or your network. You can use this as a key performance indicator to ensure you are being ranked higher after your actions.

Think about your strategy to get more active on LinkedIn. Some examples are below, but you can use your creativity. Start with one action and then build upon it.

• Repost interesting articles at least once a week
• React to one of your connections’ posts three times a week
• Share an important Professional Development learning of this week
• Share an important Technical Education learning of this week (not on the same day as the PD one)
• Comment on one of your connections’ posts once a week

Estimated time in hours (PD has max 4 per week total)

15 minutes - set a timer

What is the purpose of this assignment?

The LinkedIn SSI task asks for ONE action written in the SMART format.
A SMART action should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound.
Can you express one action that satisfies these five characteristics?
