Take writing assignments and cross-posting

“

- [Instructor] Another great option when thinking of what to write on LinkedIn are the things you're already writing. Take those papers or writing assignments, for example, and repurpose them as long-form posts on LinkedIn. That way you can make them available to a wider audience, and more than just your professor. If you're working on a project, write about it. If you blog or write for other sources like a student newspaper, or perhaps you have a personal blog, consider crossposting that content onto LinkedIn. You could potentially reach a lot more people and also tap into a different audience. Take this example. It was a class assignment that the author turned into a post on LinkedIn. It's about how companies like Starbucks are using data to spur growth and make strategic business decisions. Not only did it fulfill her assignment for class, but it got a lot of engagement on LinkedIn. Here's another example from a former fashion student who took her senior thesis and wrote about it on LinkedIn. This post is great, because it gives insight into the collection she designed for a Hong Kong fashion show and how it all came together. So why reinvent the wheel? Take what you're already writing and repost it on LinkedIn so you can make it available to a much bigger audience.
