How to Build a Personal Brand on LinkedIn

 LinkedIn is more than a online resume. It is amazing professional social network B2B to enhance your personal brand and get in touch with professionals globally. And sure you may have a profile there because everyone has a profile, but being on LinkedIn and being noticeable on LinkedIn are two totally different things. And when you, in particular, have a B2B company and constantly seek leads and customers on this social network, then LinkedIn for sales teams and salespeople is another game altogether. That is why I would like to demonstrate the real force of this social network to help you build your personal brand and enhance your presence in LinkedIn. However, you might be wondering, but why is it so crucial to possess a good personal brand on LinkedIn. The reply is easy. Since personal branding is what determines how people perceive you in the business arena. When you work good on your professional identity on LinkedIn, you can open the doors that you did not even know that the...

Behind the Scenes: How Social Media Algorithms Are Built

 Every social media algorithm includes AI as machine learning that adds a range of classification parameters to sort content by priority and personalize it according to the user. The discourse of AI has explosively increased over the past year and a half or so. The reality is, however, that you have been living with some sort of AI since the very first time you logged into Netscape Navigator. Behind the Scenes: How Social Media Algorithms Are Built sheds light on how these systems work. While you shouldn't try to outsmart them, knowing key ranking factors can give you a strategic edge. A social media algorithm refers to rules and standards that categorize content on a network.

This arranges the content in the feeds according to the probability that the individual user of the social network will like and engage with it. Social media platforms design their algorithms to enhance the user experience by making feeds engaging and interesting. Because of algorithms, two people will not see the same thing even if they are on the same account. As is evident in our explanation of what an algorithm is, social networks require them to ascertain what you view amongst the insensibly huge pool of possible content. 

What is a social media algorithm?

What this means is that algorithms really determine whether your content appears to your followers and to non-followers. Their influence can be exponential in nature because programmers write them to deliver content that they believe users will enjoy, based on previous ranking variables (of which we'll hear more later). In case the user likes one of such posts or accounts, interacts with it in any way or follows it, the algorithm immediately begins to offer and propose similar posts, accounts, and so on.

That is why touching only a few new accounts—by liking their posts or even following them, if not followed back—can trigger an avalanche of the same content on your timeline. What is the point of a social media algorithm, after all, if it does not provide you with precisely what you seek when you look at your feed? Brands would like to participate in that torrent of content.

Importance of social media algorithms

However, naturally, there is no person who sits behind a desk and moves the content in the feed of each TikTok or X user. (What a thing to do!). Rather, algorithms make recommendations. Each social media company keeps its algorithms confidential, yet all of them are based on machine learning and a list of factors, which are called ranking criteria. They are none other than: rules of ranking the value of every single piece of content to every single user at a given time. The technology behind it is highly sophisticated but the overall mechanism is quite simple.

The algorithm sifts through all the content made available, ranks it, and categorizes it before it is delivered to a user's timeline. Ranking algorithms make content personalized for a single user's prior exposure to the site. As argued above, the algorithms reinforce themselves to a super-exponential level. Their operation pattern is to chase one core goal: to retain users on the site through constantly supplying them with material that encourages watching and engagement. This, in turn, describes how algorithms based on user behavior operate. In the sections below, we will talk about ways in which content makers and brands.

Breakdown of algorithms by platform

Can talk to the algorithms that power social media (and make these algorithms promote their content to more users). In order to do so, one has to study the particular ranking algorithm of every social media. There is no chance that we will ever fully understand the ins and outs of a platform algorithm: social media platforms consider that recipe a secret sauce. However, over the last few years, social media platforms are less secretive about their ranking algorithms and their general functionality. Those bits of information can influence meaningful changes in your approach to content creation so that the algorithms become your friends, not your enemies.

These are the most significant ranking factors in every social site. Last year, Instagram announced that every section of the platform has its own algorithm. The known ranking criteria concerning each of them are these. Remember that Stories do not feature posts of accounts that you do not follow, with the exception of ads. Brands, that translates to the fact that you will not acquire new eyeballs here but you still have to figure out.

Conclusion

The algorithm to maximize your organic reach. Tale of interaction: It is good to see, but it is better to interact. Proximity This is analogous to your account with the Feed algorithm, only here the algorithm in question is explicitly considering the probability that they are your friends or relatives. That is a dangerous argument to the brands so emphasize on the former two.

According to Instagram, the purposeful algorithm in the Explore section is intended to display the kind of content that you will most likely take some action with. These most significant actions here are likes, saving, and sharing. Your own Explore Page is basically a personality statement within one screen. Note to brands. Instagram states that Reels contain "a focus on entertainment." Entertainment also contributes greatly to ROI ( hint). Interestingly enough, they would like to present you with things that you would probably go to the audio page to see as they use this to form an idea of
