A REAL Way to Measure Your Social Impact

You can literally measure your impact!

They probably don’t want content creators to find out about this.

So, I've been diving deep into LinkedIn lately, and I was led to something that I think you'll find super interesting, especially if you're just starting out or looking to level up your content game. It's called the LinkedIn Social Selling Index (SSI) Score.

Now, I know what you might be thinking. "Isn't LinkedIn just for job hunting?" Trust me, it's a lot more than that.

It's a place where you can share your stories, connect with like-minded folks, and really let your content shine. And the best part? It's not just about finding jobs; it's about social selling – creating genuine, organic conversations around what you do.

So, what's the deal with this SSI Score?

Well, it basically measures how well you're:

- Telling Your Story: Think of your profile as your personal brand's storybook. Share content that speaks to your audience and positions you as someone who knows their stuff.

- Making the Right Connections: It's all about finding your tribe on LinkedIn. And with their tools, you can really connect with the people who'll vibe with your content.

- Joining the Conversation: Engage in discussions, hop into relevant groups, and share your two cents. It's a great way to get your content out there and make some new friends along the way.

- Building Genuine Relationships: And hey, don't just aim for the big names. Connect with everyone. You'd be surprised how many opportunities come from the most unexpected connections.

Curious about your own SSI score? Here's how to find it:

1. Log in to LinkedIn: Make sure you're on your homepage.

2. Visit the SSI Page: You can find it by searching for "LinkedIn SSI" on your favorite search engine, or click this link.

3. Click on 'Get your score free': It's usually a prominent button on the page.

4. Voila! Your score will be displayed, along with some insights on how you're doing in each of the four categories.

So, what do you say? Ready to dive into LinkedIn, discover your SSI score, and give your content a boost?

Whether you're just starting your journey or looking to give your brand a little extra oomph, focusing on your SSI could be a total game-changer. So give it a try next time you aren’t sure where to start.
