The Latest LinkedIn Updates for Nonprofits with Jazmin Garcia
Show Notes

Today we’re diving into one of my favorite platforms… LinkedIn!

With 900 million members and an 18% increase in sessions year over year, more and more people are looking to LinkedIn to navigate this new world of work - from getting hired, to connecting, learning, and building personal thought leadership.

Did you know that LinkedIn has an incredible resource hub for nonprofits? And that you could be using LinkedIn to connect with future donors?

It’s a pleasure to bring in Jazmin Garcia, a Nonprofit Talent Account Executive at LinkedIn, for a super tactical conversation. We talk about LinkedIn’s growth, all the new features you need to try, and how you can easily 6x your engagement.

In This Episode:

  • The incredible changes Jazmin has witnessed on LinkedIn over the last 5-10 years, including new features that recently rolled out. The headline? LinkedIn is becoming a “skill space”.
  • All about creator mode and why you should leverage it if you want to grow your reach and influence
  • How often to publish new content on LinkedIn (and the secret sauce to getting 6x more engagement)
  • The accessible tools available for nonprofits, including pilot programs
  • How to connect with potential donors on LinkedIn and raise funds on the platform
  • Why LinkedIn’s Sales Navigator absolutely crushes over cold calling and will help you create an “above and beyond” personal connection
