I always like to test new LinkedIn features so here goes. This is the template option found when posting via mobile. It’s very easy to use. * Start a post in the mobile app * Select the background image * Select your font * Write your post * Add stickers ( or links) if you wish Will you use it? What do you think? #linkedin #feature #sandralong

  • Just testing this new “Template” feature.

One thing I like about Templates Sandra Long is that [In] is indexing the text on the graphic for search rankings. I prefer to keep a Branded Image in my smart phone, and do an image post, then use the [T] Text tool (which [In] is indexing too). That way I get a on Brand post on the go, instead of the Personal Blanding™ that comes with using the same image Templates of everyone else. #KeepRockingLinkedIn! Kevin

Thanks for doing the research and sharing. I agree with the comments about FB. Hope LI does veer into sales, jobs and social comments tooo much. I like the idea of using company branded materials. Thx. Ps Abby Cote

Interesting feature, Sandra. Thanks for pointing it out. Seems a bit Facebookish at first glance, but I’m certainly willing to play with it a bit before passing judgment on its value and usability.

It's bland, boring, and lacks the ability to add your branding Sandra Long. Plus, feels very dated to back when stories started quite a few years ago. Just another Linkedin feature that wasn't needed and isn't well thought out and won't help you stand out. It's only available on mobile, as well.

Sandra Long thanks for sharing, we all appreciate your front-end teachings. I think it will help some people by making it easier for them. I prefer my own branding. If we could add our logos and images that would be ideal. Like Canva or Fiverr.

My honest reaction? It feels to me like a step toward Facebook and I am not a fan of the shift on this platform in that direction. But I always appreciate when you walk us through LinkedIn’s new features and how to use them!

Interesting. Not sure more graphics, emoji’s, are ideal for LinkedIn.
