Key Takeaways From The LinkedIn Trends Study
The analyzed accounts correspond to LinkedIn business pages that use this network for professional purposes.
In this study, you will see that the LinkedIn pages analyzed are grouped by follower count. This way we can easily compare data when viewing metrics such as posting frequency, engagement, and the number of views per account size.
These are divided into five different groups: Tiny, Small, Medium, Big, and Huge, in which the groups are created based on the number of followers of the LinkedIn page.
As for the number of posts, we analyzed 1,578,969 posts, made up of 78,522 carousels, 719,537 other posts, 579,283 posts with images, and 201,629 posts that include a video.
LinkedIn Study Conclusions
In our annual Social Networks Study, we found that on LinkedIn, the sharing option is the star interaction type, and that posting quality content results in greater reach.
This trend will continue in 2024, and sharing will be a key interaction. We also found that all brand accounts have a space on LinkedIn, regardless of the following count.
LinkedIn trends and predictions
We are almost two months in 2024 so, are these trends reigning true?
The answer is yes Based on the 2024 LinkedIn study data. Three of the four content formats (images, carousels, videos) have achieved an average of 1.20 shares per post. In the case of other format types (text-only posts, polls, links) these are close behind with an average of 0.84 shares per post.
In the end, LinkedIn prioritizes this interaction and while you have the option to share the full content, you can also include your own idea when reposting. Taking advantage of this feature is a way to increase impressions on LinkedIn.
We also see a boost in participation from all account types, especially Tiny accounts. This means that LinkedIn continues to attract brands to its platform and that all brands are continuing to carve out niches for themselves on the network.
