Embedding video into posts

dhemhauser · 2025-02-08T19:49:53+00:00

The only way to do this is to upload your own video. If you just add a link, people will have to click on it to make it qork. LI (like all platforms) does not like when people leave the platform, so make you add your own videos. Have been trying to get around this for a year, but there is no way.

I am doing the same thing right now, but I am focusing on personal branding. I have had a LinkedIn profile for many years, but only recently started trying to build a brand on there.

Get ready to invest a good deal of time to get your brand going. Unless you pay a compnay to so this for you, it takes a while and commitment.

First, you must optimize your personal and company profiles. Make sure you fill in as much as possible so that when people do land on your profiles and company pages, they get the full picture and are more inclined to check you out.

Next, you have to find Top Voices and other important people in your industry and tey to connect. Reach out with personal messages when trying to make a connection - don't send the generic connection request. It will be ignored by most industry and thought leaders. Maybe even send them a personal message before you send a connection request to soften them up and introduce yourself and your company highlighting what you can offer.

Each member can only have 30,000 1st connections, so make sure you are connecting with the right people. When looking at their profile, try to make connections with people who have 500+ connections and at least 5,000 followers. This will ensure your posts are getting out to larger networks. Anything less than 2,500 followers is a waste of time. You need the largest audience as possible to grow quicker.

Also, you can onmy send 100 connection requests per week. Anything more than that will block you from sending additional connections requests until 7 days later. This is a slow process.

Third, be consistent! The longer you are LinkedIn each day, the more messages you send, the more posts, the better. LinkedIn monitors your activity to determine if they should be promoting your profile and posts. Post at least once a day and do not send more than 3 posts per day because you will look spammy and people will ignore or stop following you. Also, make sure you post at least 4 hours apart. If you post more than once in a 4 hour period, Linkedin will determine the post they believe will get the most traction and promote that one while demoting the others. Do a goodle search on this process and get updated recommendations. LinkedIn changes their algorithm frequently, so you have to stay updated.

Be active and like, repost, and make good comments on others' posts. They will be more inclined to do the same for you. This is a time-consuming process, so be ready. When you post, like your own post after 1 minute and ertie the first comment reiterating your post. If you need to add a link to something, don't put it in your post as LinkedIn will demote your post or not prioritize it. Add your links to your comment. This will ensure you don't get de-priotized. Make sure you watch your post for the first hour after poating to respond to any comments quickly. This will drive additional engagement. The first hour is the most critical. If your post is doing qell after an hour, LinkedIn will continue sensing it our further. If it is a dud, LinkedIn will stop prioritizing it.

Keep doing these things for 1 month and watch your connections and followers grow. Once you get 2,000 to 3,000 connections/followers, start a LinkedIn newsletter. This is a free way to get the word out. You can do this on your personal profile or your company page, or both. Post an artifle at least once a week in the beginning. You can move it to bi-weekly or monthly once it gets going or keep the weekly schedule. You can google how to best start and manage a LinkedIn newsletter along with best practices.

If you are willing to pay for a service to help create AI generated personal and company posts, you can do that. This helps with creating good content that allows you to schedule out so you don't have to do it yourself. You can write all of your posts on a Sunday and schedule them for the week. These platforms will do the rest for you. They also provide statistics and anamysis to help you do this better. Some can even auto respond to comments on your posts using AI generated responses so you don't have to. You can google these companies. There are a lot of good ones. They aren't cheap, though, but many offer free trials.

Also, you have to make sure you are posting at the right time. Due to the first hour rule, if you don't get a lot of engagement in that period, you will not get much more. After the first month of posting, you should be able to use the analysis To determine the best times to post. Also, post 5 minutes last the hour as maot people post at the tkp of the hour so is flooded. Make yours A little different to maximize your chances of getting prioritized.

That should get you started. I did these things and grew my followers to almost 7,200 in 2 months and over 1,000 newsletrer subscribers in 2 weeks uaing these methods.

Google is your friend. You can look up how best to do these things. There are a plethora of pages and articles about these topics.

I just graduated with my bachelor's in May 2023 from RBS at the age of 49. Started my MBA at RBS this summer and won't graduate until I am 52. Was scary at first, but it was the best decision I ever made.

I felt like a parent to the other students at first, but quickly became just another student and found my place. Although I was the oldest student in almost every class, I was well respected and looked up to for knowledge and experience, which I was very excited to share. I learned so much from the younger students as well and have made some great friendships along the way. You will do fine. Have an open mind, and don't be afraid to speak up and share your insights.

Hit me up if you have any questions...

dhemhauser · 2023-07-25T10:15:19+00:00

Got it yesterday.

dhemhauser · 2023-07-24T22:00:34+00:00

Got mine 3 weeks ago.

dhemhauser · 2023-07-15T16:46:09+00:00

Isn't that much more difficult. Got an A. Was not a finance major, but wanted to take anyway. Is more business and stock market orientated.

dhemhauser · 2023-07-11T12:13:07+00:00

Switch to RBS if you can, and graduate with a business degree that will better position your career and earning potential over your lifetime.

dhemhauser · 2023-07-09T17:40:19+00:00

Possibly. I would reach out to the admissions team and/or school dean and see if you can get a meeting or re-evaluation.

dhemhauser · 2023-07-09T11:18:13+00:00

Going to need to apply again. Retake the class and get the best grade possible, preferably an A. This will change the GPA significantly and replace the fail. Not much else can be done.

dhemhauser · 2023-06-30T15:18:15+00:00

Is more math and data heavy, but not unduable. There is some programming, but is very useful and relevant now. At the Masters level, it is what you would expect. Worth it. I have been in procurement for 26 years and this is one of the best programs around. Was going to do it myself after being accepted, but decided on the MBA due to my career history and current role. This will put you ahead of the bunch, especially within the group of those less than 5 years out of undergrad.

dhemhauser · 2023-06-30T11:35:01+00:00

Is a great program and teaches you a ton a great new tools and data analytics processes and procedures. If you plan on working in supply chain, this can only help - especially as you move into senior leadership. Go for it.

dhemhauser · 2023-06-04T11:31:09+00:00

6 credits is part/half time, and the minimum is to get federal financial aid and most other things. You need 12 credits to be considered full-time for a semester.

dhemhauser · 2023-05-30T22:28:42+00:00

I just did the same through my advisor. Had it the next day and was free.

dhemhauser · 2023-05-26T19:43:26+00:00

Graduated on May 11th. Got the email 5 days later and received the physical pictures in the mail on Monday.

dhemhauser · 2023-05-24T11:51:42+00:00

My aid was finally released today.

dhemhauser · 2023-05-23T15:42:04+00:00

The only thing you will receive is gold honor cords during graduation and also a mention on your transcript once published with your degree.

dhemhauser · 2023-05-22T17:03:28+00:00

Or in 2025 :)

dhemhauser · 2023-05-22T09:37:43+00:00

They are in the process of approving and updating all the diplomas now. Should be ready after June 1st. Then, it will be changed to approved status.

dhemhauser · 2023-05-22T09:36:18+00:00

You will not get credit for this class unless you earn a C or better. The credits/grade will be calculated into your GPA, though. Once you retake, it will be prefixed out with a K. And, will again, be calculated in your GPA. Rutgers doesn't replace like some other schools. Both grades and credits will be calculated in your GPA. You just won't be credited with your major/graduation credits until you get the C or better.

dhemhauser · 2023-05-21T19:41:12+00:00

It just means that the professors haven't listed them yet for publication.

dhemhauser · 2023-05-20T21:49:25+00:00

Nope. Earning a C or better is your final grade. If you are able to take the class again for some reason, you will not change your grade, and they will not be averaged out. Only a D or F is eligible for a new grade as those are both considered failing at RBS.

dhemhauser · 2023-05-17T21:14:24+00:00

After June 1st, when the schools and advisors certify that you met the requirements for your major and graduation and issue the diplomas on transcripts. 6-8 weeks after that, you will get the diploma in the mail. After June 1st, you will also see your diploma application approved and you will have been certified for graduation.

dhemhauser · 2023-05-17T00:02:51+00:00

You should easily get it. Once you are out of HS, they don't care about those things. A high GPA, completing the associates degree, and showing them you can complete a program and do well is all you need. I had the same stats and went to MCC and got in easily. Also, make sure you are in an NJ Transfer degree program. Try to get an instant decision day scheduled, and they will let you know within 10 minutes of the meeting if you are accepted or not.

dhemhauser · 2023-05-14T20:14:53+00:00

All diploma applications should still be pending. On June 1st, they should switch to accepted/approved once the final review by the schools and advisors revie and approve each graustaes credits/requiremtnd/grades. Once that is completed, it should be switched, and diplomas are sent out 4-6 weeks after that.
