Why you should be using hashtags on LinkedIn

Grow your company’s professional presence by utilizing LinkedIn’s network of over 500 million users to connect with clients, potential clients, employees and influencers. Before, issues, topics and comments only traveled by users’ connected networks. Now, LinkedIn has finally embraced the hashtag with two goals: to be the main platform for influencers and to better manage the news feed.

Hashtags on LinkedIn give users the opportunity to track specific issues or topics. So, what are you waiting for? Test out the hashtag feature in your comments, searches and summary. Just make sure your hashtags are relevant and do not go overboard.
