I’ve been thinking about whether to start a brand new traffic challenge or just pick up where we left off in the video traffic challenge. So much time has passed and so many priorities have changed. But there were still two weeks left in the challenge when we last did an update.
If I start a new traffic challenge it will be on LinkedIn. I’ve decided to take 45 days and find or re-visit places in LinkedIn that I’ve been neglecting on my own, for 4 reasons.
- Gini recently wrote a fantastic article about using LinkedIn to find new clients.
Not that I haven’t before but I haven’t done it lately.
Furthermore, it occurs to me that I can write basic, intermediate and advanced how-to articles or even books about any major social network except LinkedIn. I have got to go beyond basics, if not for my benefit, then for yours.
- I hate LinkedIn.
But in the interest of taking my own medicine, the point isn’t how much I like it, but how much I can leverage that technology to benefit me, or my business.
So I’ve committed myself to going back to do the things that worked, and finding new things.
- I get more mileage out of someone sharing my posts on LinkedIn, 2 – 6 more visits than Facebook, and about 10 times Twitter. If I have a finite amount of effort, I should be putting it towards the area where I get the most results. It makes sense.
Now, I could explore the site on my own and do some research and testing, then compile a reasonably priced video guide giving you the highlights.
And I probably will. But in the mean time, why not learn together?
The only reason I can think of is that the Video Traffic Challenge got stagnated, partly because I got busy after the July 4th holiday, which was smack in the middle, and also due to a dip in participation in general before that.
So here’s what we’ll do.
Vote by entering your vote in the comments, or Twitter retweet (so the Livefyre software can pick it up) whether you’d like to see us continue the video challenge or start a new LinkedIn challenge. We’ll say voting will go on for a week from today, and then I’ll post the results.
Whichever one we do, anyone is free to join us, and there’s no financial cost. It’s just a thing we do as a community from time to time. Though we will all shame each other when we don’t follow along with the steps, so be ready for some well-intentioned ribbing if you fall behind.
I’m not off-limits in the ribbing. So I should know.
We’d love to have you, in any case. Worst case scenario, you get visits from the days I post links to the people on the Leaderboard.
