Revenue Model: LinkedIn has a solid Business model with revenues flowing in from three
different streams, including premium subscriptions, Marketing solutions and Talent solutions.
However, LinkedIn largely remains a recruitment portal with its hiring solution businesses, which
makes up more than half of the revenues for the company. And LinkedIn has been growing its
revenues rapidly by taking away more recruitment dollars from competitors like careerbuilder
and Monster.
In 2014, LinkedIn grew its top line revenues by 72% Y/Y, and has been eating Monster’s lunch. In
the last quarter, Monster’s revenue declined 9% Y/Y and its bottom-line decreased 24% on a Y/Y
basis

KEY LEARNINGS
LinkedIn has been growing rapidly across the board, but the competition in
the social media space is rampant. And other competitors like Monster are still
sticking around to keep the online recruitment business more competitive
LinkedIn ability to grow users across the globe, and stimulate those users, will
be crucial for the company’s long term prospects.
However, in the near future there is no visible threat to the dominance of
LinkedIn as the proffered, professional connection platform

WAY FORWARD

Further, these references will add life to people
interested in finding out about you. Mainly,
candidates and employees. (This also holds for
competitors who may be trying to get a feel for how
your firm is structured.)
Share knowledge on LinkedIn
through status updates, content in terms of links, pictures
videos and how employees position your business in
relevant category.
In particular, your business should expand its expertise
through answering inquiries on the Q&A section. That
shows members of our team are working on building
relationships. (Assign a few of your area experts, not senior
executives, to answering relevant questions on LinkedIn
regularly.)

MEASURING OUR PAGE PERFORMANCE
15
In a very similar fashion to manage any other page on social media,
managing a Linkedin company page allows to see impressions, clicks
and engagements for any given post. You can also choose to sponsor
a post in order to maximize reach or engagement. The trick, of
course, is to keep track of posts and see which ones gain traction,
which ones don’t, and to emphasize (sponsor) those that work in
order to increase post and page effectiveness.
PAGE MANAGEMENT
It’s great to know the impressions and unique people reached by any
given post, but how does it compare with previous ones? The
analytics module in Linkedin allows you to go back in time and
compare your performance, yesterday, the past 7 days, this month,
the past month, the past 3 months or the past 6 months.
Engagement on Linkedin is defined as “How many times members
clicked, liked, commented on, and shared your content in both
organic and paid campaigns, as well as the number of followers
acquired through paid campaigns”. This is a useful metric in order to
monitor your performance with your audience, helping better
understand what content draws most comments, likes or shares,
helping you adapt your approach accordingly.
Finally, Linkedin suggests four other pages similar to yours with
which you can compare total followers and growth in time. Unlike
Facebook, however, where you can add Pages to follow and un-
follow, there doesn’t seem to be any way to customize the
information shown here. Nevertheless, it can represent a nice
metric if the other pages shown are indeed competitors or company
pages you wish to compare with in time.
