LinkedIn is used as a landing page, and it should not be used as your main homepage. Instead, it serves as a targeted entry point for visitors coming specifically from LinkedIn. Here’s how to position it properly:
✅ Why You Shouldn’t Use It as Your Main Homepage
- It’s too specific: It speaks directly to LinkedIn users, which may confuse visitors from other sources (e.g., Google, email, Instagram).
- It lacks general navigation: Your homepage should introduce your brand, mission, and offer broad access to all your content.
- It’s meant to convert LinkedIn traffic, not serve as a universal welcome.
🔄 How to Use It Effectively Instead
- Create a separate page on your site (e.g.,
yourdomain.com/linkedin) - Link to it from your LinkedIn profile, posts, or articles
- Customize the message for LinkedIn visitors (e.g., “Hi LinkedIn friends! Here’s your exclusive access to our decluttering toolkit.”)
- Track traffic using UTM parameters or analytics tools
🏠 Your LinkedIn Landing Page Should Include:
- A general welcome message
- Navigation to key sections (About, Services, Blog, Contact)
- A clear value proposition
- A call-to-action for all visitors
- A link to your main homepage (without the LinkedIn in the URL domain)
You use a LinkedIn landing page when you want to guide LinkedIn visitors to a specific experience or action on your website. It’s a strategic tool for personal branding, lead generation, or promoting a campaign
🎯 When to Use a LinkedIn Landing Page
1. Promoting a Project or Campaign
Example: You’re launching a campaign. You post about it on LinkedIn and link to a landing page where visitors can:
- Learn more
- Sign up
- Access exclusive content
2. Showcasing Your Portfolio or Work
If you’re a student, creator, or consultant, you can use a landing page to:
- Highlight key achievements
- Share testimonials
- Offer downloadable resources (if applicable)
3. Driving Event Registrations
For Toastmasters workshops or public speaking events, use a landing page to:
- Provide event details
- Collect RSVPs or payments
- Offer member-only perks
4. Lead Generation
Use it to:
- Capture emails via a form
- Offer a freebie (e.g., decluttering checklist)
- Build your subscriber base
5. Job or Collaboration Opportunities
If you’re open to work or partnerships, your landing page can:
- Showcase your skills and goals
- Include a contact form
- Link to your resume or LinkedIn profile
💡 Tip:
Always tailor the landing page to LinkedIn visitors—use language like:
“Welcome LinkedIn friends!”
“Thanks for connecting—here’s something special for you.”
Make it simple; the main page is still a main page. Social media is meant for social media campaigns, so why mix it?
