^^ That’s how I feel whenever I’m talking to someone about LinkedIn.

But, it wasn’t always like this.

The early days of LinkedIn were like an awkward networking event.

Everyone wore virtual name tags, stuffy corporate clothes, and the conversations were surface-level.

The vibe? Professional in the most excruciatingly boring way possible.

Now? It’s like the internet’s hottest club where:

• People are swapping memes, and marketing takes.
• Vulnerability is the new currency.
• And yes, sometimes people overshare, but we’re learning from it.

The rules have changed. But showing up still matters.

This is your LinkedIn starter guide.

With 12 fresh prompts, formatting tips, and insider strategies, you’ll go from awkward small talk to being the one everyone wants to hear from.
