I'm glad you're reading to this point, after having read the proceeding section. This means you're serious about LinkedIn engagement. Let's look at some ways to be present on LinkedIn.* I'll start with the least amount of effort followed by the most.
Reacting—least amount of effort
If you're a beginner, reacting to what people share is a good place to start. This will help you with LinkedIn's algorithm but not as much as what follows. I have a feeling that after only reacting to what people share, you'll get bored.
1. Reacting with the five icons. You might want to begin with reacting to what people egypt phone number resource post or share. Reacting means you can Like their content or more. LinkedIn as recently added other types of reactions. They are Celebrate, Love, Insightful, and Curious. I react with Insightful in most cases. I have used Celebrate when a LinkedIn user has received good news. You'll never catch me Loving what people share.
2. Reading articles and sharing them. This is another way to react which takes little effort if that's all you do. My advice is to actually read the articles and then share them; not just share your favorite connections' articles unread. Clearly by reading the articles, you'll form an opinion of their content.
3. Give someone Kudos. This is as simple as going to someone's profile, choosing More, and clicking Give Kudos. Then you can choose why the person deserves Kudos. I rarely use this, but you might want to for people who've been helpful in your job search.
4. Endorse your connections' skills. While you're on someone's profile, why not endorse them for their skills. The debate here is that you might not have witnessed the person perform said skills. Read their profile carefully to see if they back up their skills. Maybe you've seen them share posts and articles on LinkedIn and have determined that they know what they're talking about.
