15-20 minutes a day
Without spending hours mindlessly scrolling, here are some focus points to get right so that you can get everything done in 15-20 minutes every single day. As mentioned in Entrepreneur’s post, “How to Leverage LinkedIn in 20 Minutes a Day”, it’s all about focusing on the right areas:
- Home page: Here you’ll see latest updates from those in your network, and you’ll be able to engage with them.
