How to share with LinkedIn
LinkedIn is focused on business use. Still, Linkedin can be an important channel in promoting and spreading your fundraiser. For example to share with colleagues, customers, suppliers or relations of the company you work for. Furthermore, we see that LinkedIn is being used more and more and is therefore becoming an increasingly important 'social' channel.
Use the handy share buttons under the main header picture of your fundraiser page. There you'll find the LinkedIn button. If you click on it, you will enter the LinkedIn share window. Here you can choose whether you want to post the fundraiser as a message or send it in a personal message.
Of course, you can also just copy-paste the link of your fundraiser page if you prefer.
Pin to the top of your page
Do you have a business page on LinkedIn? You can place the link to your fundraiser page in a post and pin it to the top of your page. This keeps your fundraiser displayed at the top of your LinkedIn page and in the spotlight for all followers and visitors of your LinkedIn page. You do this by first posting the message and then clicking on the three dots in the top right-hand corner and choosing 'Pin to Top'.
Wrong header foto displayed
If you have changed the main header photo or image on your fundraiser page, the old picture often remains displayed when sharing your fundraiser. This has to do with the 'cache', the memory. The old image is still stored there. What is the solution? Copy the link of your fundraiser page and paste it into the LinkedIn Post Inspector: https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/. Click on Inspect and your new image will now load correctly.
