LinkedIn Live with Goldie Chan | Ep. 204 (Rebroadcast)

Goldie Chan is #1 creator on LinkedIn, a regular contributor to Forbes and the founder of social media strategy agency Warm Robots. Known as the “green-haired Oprah of LinkedIn,” she was one of the first people on LinkedIn Live and currently has the longest-running daily channel on LinkedIn with fully original content. Goldie believes everybody has the capacity to make engaging content—the trick is just figuring out which kind is best suited to your talents.

In this episode, Goldie recalls the resistance she faced when she decided to make video content on LinkedIn before any other platform, explains why innovation is a driving force in her work, and helps you figure out what style of content creation you’re best suited for.

The Finer Details of This Episode:

• Goldie discusses her “LinkedIn-first” streaming platform and some of the other content creators she’s involved with.
• The reason Goldie went all in on committing to a LinkedIn platform, and what was the moment she realized how much potential it had?
• How she dealt with other people’s concerns that going exclusive with LinkedIn was a bad idea.
• Why the idea of “social media with purpose” fuels much of Goldie’s work.
• What Goldie does to keep her work fun and what she believes is the great irony of content creation.
• The reason innovation motivates Goldie more effectively than simply desiring success.
• Why how you played around as a kid can give you a good indication of what type of content creation you’re best suited for.
• One memorable moment on the job that brought self-described introvert Goldie out of her shell.
