All about LinkedIn and how to make it work for you, with Cathy Anderson

This week on the podcast, Lynne and Rachel are speaking with Cathy Anderson, a senior editor at LinkedIn Australia. Cathy shares her inside knowledge on how LinkedIn works, and how to make the most of the platform. It's a valuable and revealing conversation.

We talk about:

• The special courses available for journalists through the platform
• How to increase your reach on LinkedIn
• How the LinkedIn news team works and what they are looking for
• How the LinkedIn Premium accounts work

As Cathy explained, they are always looking for great posts to be featured by the news team as part of the Idea of the Day (here's an example from a journalist) as well as creator spotlights, which is where they send a notification directly to the person's post. These topics are really broad, such as cloning your voice via AI, corporate manners and work vs family.
