Conclusion: What are the advantages of LinkedIn Live?

LinkedIn is a social network that is growing on a fast pace. In Summer 2022, the business network counts 830 million members in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. Compared to Facebook LinkedIn is the best social network for lead generation. This is why content marketers love to use LinkedIn for organic social marketing. LinkedIn Live lets you get close to your followers and create engagement for your business.

Going live with LinkedIn requires being in the “Creator Mode”. Also, you will need to use a third party streaming platform. You can find an overview of these apps here. LinkedIn up might be complicated. Therefore, help of an expert can save time.

As no other social network, LinkedIn restricts access to its Live video feature.  This means that it favors quality Live videos. This is an opportunity especially for leaders, executives and all kinds of decision makers to distinguish themselves. Through LinkedIn, they find the platform for high leads and can achieve engagement, trust and long-term impact.

Best Practices for going live

  • Do not go live more than once a day
  • Go live within the first 60 days of access
  • Do not use pre-recorded content
  • Do no selling or overly promotional live videos
  • Avoid large sponsorship logos when going live
  • Avoid long starting soon screens when going live
  • Stream for more than 10 minutes
  • Avoid unprofessional streams when going live
