SOCIAL MEDIA

LinkedIn is embracing the TikTok trend - with its new full-screen, vertical video feed, and theyā€™ve shared some handy tips for creating engaging short-form content.

Also remember these tips for short form videos,

  • Focus on grabbing attention in the first few seconds.

  • Use captions for better accessibility.

  • Aim for videos that feel authentic and less polished.

With video views up 36% year-over-year, LinkedInā€™s looking to capture more younger users, though itā€™s still uncertain if the platform has the content to match.
