💥NEW💥 LinkedIn sneaked in a very important update this week with the introduction of swipe-up links to Stories. Links can really enhance your Stories because unlike posts there is no organic reach to worry about so taking your followers away from the story is a good thing. In fact you could use it to increase the reach of your post or article by linking to them from a story! Is this game changer for Stories? #linkedintips #socialmedia #linkedin #bestadvice #linkedinstories #gamechangers

In regards to the swipe to link function and the fact that you need minimum 5,000 followers, this is of course a rip-off from from Instagram, where you need 10,000 followers in order to be able to insert links. Guess it's a way of securing quality to a certain degree as the feature would probably be ruined if every one could use it. On LinkedIn I am sure that sales people would love it to direct people to sales landing pages. So it's probably not a bad thing with the 5,000 follower threshold 😉

Nice video Mark! What do you think of the policy that it’s only available to profiles with more than 5000 followers or connections?

I think Stories is a good tool to highlight and promote new content with followers so the ability to add a link will be a useful addition Mark.

Here's something interesting, my personal profile doesn't have the swipe-up option, but my Company Page, NutritionJobs, DOES! I didn't think to look at all my channels on LinkedIn. My Group and Spotlight pages also do not have the link ... yet... You inspired me to post a story with a link! Thanks.

Mark same as it is on Instagram, there is limitation who can & who can't add swipe Link. I do not have that functionality yet 🤷♀️
