When this feature was rolled out in early 2009, many were asking, “What should I use my LinkedIn status update for?” Since that time, posting updates of our lives has become a common part of our culture, whether it’s through Facebook, Twitter, a photo on Instagram, or even in our enterprise using Salesforce Chatter or Yammer. When someone finally lands on your profile, your activity section will show your latest status update – if you have one. This is the only dynamically updated part of your profile which gives others the ability to see what’s on your mind, so get into the habit of updating your status on a regular basis. Sharing thoughtful, insightful, and relevant news that might interest your target visitor just once a day is a great way to keep your professional profile “fresh” – as well as engage with your own network of connections!
