LinkedFriday
Short Explanation: LinkedFriday is a hashtag-driven habit where people share and recommend LinkedIn™ creators they value, usually on Fridays.
In-Depth Explanation
LinkedFriday is a community format, not a platform feature. Participants post a short list of creators, explain why they follow them, and often tag the people they mention. The format creates visibility loops: the recommended creators get mentions, the commenters add more names, and networks cross-pollinate. For B2B, it is a simple way to support peers, show taste, and grow reach without talking about your own offer.
How it Works:
- Pick 3–10 creators: Choose people whose content you actually read and would recommend to your audience.
- Add a clear reason: Write one short sentence per person (what they post, what you learn, why it matters).
- Tag and hashtag: Tag the creators (if appropriate) and add #LinkedFriday so others can find the post.
- Invite additions: Ask readers to add their own recommendations in the comments.
- Engage thoughtfully: Reply to comments and check out new names. That is where the network effect happens.
Real-Life Example
A marketing director posts every Friday: “#LinkedFriday: 5 people I learn from in B2B.” They list five creators, add one sentence of context for each, and tag them. The tagged creators often react or comment, which boosts distribution. In the comments, others add more names. Over time, the director builds stronger ties with peers and grows followers from the exact professional bubble they want.
