Your LinkedIn newsfeed where you can get
updates from what's going on around your
network. The important thing is that you
can take control of what you see and get
much more out of the time you spend on
your newsfeed. Here's how. So the view you
see when you click on home is based on
what LinkedIn thinks are the most
relevant pieces of content to you. So
it's sorted by top but actually if you
want it more in time order so the most
recent first you can simply click on the
drop down and change that to recent. And
this may be a good idea just in case
you're missing certain content at the
moment that's being shared you need to
get an idea of who's active on LinkedIn
who's not so active. So you can go
through may some of your connections there's
one of my connections who has liked a particular
post typically you'll see a sponsored
post fairly early so if the advert is
not as relevant as it might be you can
click here on the three dots and you've
got the option to say why am I seeing
this ad. If you click here to go to
manage your LinkedIn ad settings
this is where you can go to the settings menu
within your profile. So at the moment you
get insights on websites you visited ads
beyound LinkedIn, profile data they're all
being collected at the moment. So take
some time to make sure you're
comfortable with what's being shared and
make some adjustments there. So continuing
with the newsfeed if you see some
content from a connection you've not
seen too much for you can choose to
unfollow the particular person that
doesn't disconnect you from them it just
means you don't see their updates in the
newsfeed itself. So I'm just going to say on
unfollow this person.
Here it suggested some job opportunities
so there's a variety of things and of
course it's similar on mobile devices
you can select menu options like this . If
you find that something you want to
actually share or use you can actually
copy a link to the post.If it's just the
one post you want to hide but you are happy to see
other particular post that's
fine as well
Once you've gone through
perhaps a mixture of the top results and the
recent then you can revisit your
newsfeed and see what kind of content
shows up. Make sure that it's working for
you. if there are people in your
connections you don't have to go and
remove them but you can just remove them
from immediate visibility take full
control. And occasionally when someone within your
network recommends an article for
someond else you might find there's an
opportunity to follow additional content,
somebody you weren't necessarily aware of
that kind of thing. As well as people in
your first level network you'll also
see content from company pages that you
follow. So again this could give an
indication of the balance between the
people you want to hear from and any
other pages just looking here for pages
there's one for example that I'm
following at the moment . OK so that's it
