Is LinkedIn Still Relevant in 2019?

LinkedIn in 2019 is very relevant, and if you aren’t on LinkedIn, you make yourself irrelevant. Don’t think of LinkedIn as a website or social media platform. Think of it as a tool.

As with any tool, it’s only effective if you actually know how to use it properly.

Benefits of using LinkedIn include increasing your brand awareness, finding new job opportunities or employees, knowing that you’re in a professional setting (even if it’s on the internet), and it can be used for managing customer relationships.

I have written great tips about how to facilitate a meeting with LinkedIn connections, how to make the most of your connections, and what to avoid doing on LinkedIn.

When used correctly, LinkedIn is one of the best networking tools out there.
