and Facebook, LinkedIn allows us to share glimpses of our work life in 20-second-long videos and photos with LinkedIn Stories. The stories on LinkedIn may be longer, but they do lack most of our beloved tools for creating stories – polls, location tags, question boxes, filters, etc. <strong>So what can we post? </strong>Everything. Well, maybe not literally. </p> <p><strong>Some things are better kept away from your LinkedIn Stories and I made a list with 3 of the most alluring deadly sins. </strong></p> <p>I admit I was indeed going for the catchy title. To be honest, none of those “sins” will send you to LinkedIn Purgatory, but you may provoke eyebrow rise or concerns amongst your connections if you’re not careful. Especially with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/127953" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">swipe-up links</a> rolling out this week.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sin 1: Sharing inappropriate content </strong></h4> <p>LinkedIn implied some <a href="https://blog.linkedin.com/2020/august/25/our-commitment-to-safe-conversations">very strict rules</a> against bullying, abuse and inappropriate content, <strong>but this is not what this sin is about</strong>. </p> <p>One of the key things we need to understand and remember about LinkedIn Stories is not to treat them like Facebook or Instagram stories. Keeping that in mind, your LinkedIn profile is maybe not the best place to post how cute your dog is or how artsy your brunch looks. Not that people would hate it, we all love cute puppies, but you won’t score many points with a potential recruiter or а future partner.</p> <p>The <strong>goal</strong> of a LinkedIn Story is to start a “lightweight conversation related to your work-life”, so unless it is a dog you have in your office or a brunch with a client or your team, maybe keep the content out of LinkedIn. </p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="400" data-attachment-id="257" data-permalink="https://thelinkedblog.com/2021/linkedin-stories-the-3-deadly-sins-256/linkedin-stories/" data-orig-file="https://thelinkedblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LinkedIn-Stories.png" data-orig-size="1209,472" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="LinkedIn-Stories" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://thelinkedblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LinkedIn-Stories-300x117.png" data-large-file="https://thelinkedblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LinkedIn-Stories-1024x400.png" src="https://thelinkedblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LinkedIn-Stories-1024x400.png" alt="" class="wp-image-257" srcset="https://thelinkedblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LinkedIn-Stories-1024x400.png 1024w, https://thelinkedblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LinkedIn-Stories-300x117.png 300w, https://thelinkedblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LinkedIn-Stories-768x300.png 768w, https://thelinkedblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LinkedIn-Stories-154x60.png 154w, https://thelinkedblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LinkedIn-Stories.png 1209w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>Here are some great examples of LinkedIn Stories.</figcaption></figure></div> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sin 2: Oversharing – posting way too much</strong> </h4> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynntaylorconsulting/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lynn Taylor</a>, the author of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tame-Your-Terrible-Office-Tyrant/dp/0470457643" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job”</a>, advises users to consider LinkedIn and the content here “as a living résumé or a living business card”.
