Is your LinkedIn Feed a valuable source of information for you?
In this series of videos, I’ve been talking about how to get the most out of LinkedIn. We’ve covered everything from how to maximize your profile for more visibility and how to get more engagement out of your LinkedIn activity. But the first thing you see when you go to LinkedIn is your Feed – and if your Feed isn’t providing you with value, it can be much harder to engage with the platform.
If your LinkedIn Feed is boring, uninspired, or uninteresting, here are a few things you can do:

See something interesting that a connection has re-posted or interacted with? Consider following the person who originated that content by clicking the follow button or the bell on their profile.
Tell LinkedIn What Content Is Valuable to You
Use the three dots at the top right of the posts in your Feed to tell LinkedIn what types of content you prefer to see in your Feed. When you click on those three dots, you get a lot of options, including options to unfollow or mute people, as well as the “I don’t want to see this” button.
