LinkedIn has been there for ages, but still, a lot of creatives, marketers and other service-based entrepreneurs are not using it because they still think that it’s only useful for people who are looking for jobs. If you’re like me, you probably have heard that LinkedIn is a powerful platform to get clients as the reach is far more superior that a social media platform like Instagram. But still, I wouldn’t know how to find clients on LinkedIn. That’s why, for this episode, I interviewed Geni Cor, a LinkedIn specialist.

If you are using Instagram for your business, you know that hashtags are necessary to grow your reach. But necessary doesn’t mean easy. Between finding the right hashtags, knowing how to use them or how to optimize your hashtag strategy, using hashtags can feel overwhelming.
