More Product Awareness and Collaboration

I was successful enough to be invited into the creator world and offered to switch my profile to a content creator one and although I haven’t received any payments for my content I am slowly growing my following and to date, LinkedIN is one of my largest flow through to my business website. This showcases the strength of LinkedIN and the gap in the current market.

Through the new creator tools I have gained a significant following and have already appeared on two podcasts that are popular amongst LinkedIN professionals to discuss parts of my life, business and contract management and negotiation in law, the field I work in.

This growing awareness and support is a great way for me to build my business in my target audience and I look forward to see where it will land me in the future.
