LinkedIn™ Video

Although most of the videos you see on LinkedIn are square or landscape, LinkedIn themselves request you shoot your videos in vertical format.

LinkedIn™ – Articles v Newsletters

Articles

Allow you to go deeper into your subject beyond what short-form posts will do.  Each article is it’s own story: The format is ideal for addressing wide ranging subjects that don’t need to be connected.

Stand alone articles don’t receive automated in-app and email notifications, but they do get distributed to your network in the feed like all other content.

Newsletters

Are your best option for building a regular audience that keeps returning for content on a specific topic, a topic that you are passionate about. Plus there are automated in-app and email notifications to keep connecting you and your audience.
