After reading all of this, it might be time for me to wean myself from LI, so any tips you may have would be great. I run a small pro bono (sometime contracts) for apprenticeships and workforce development in disadvantaged working class and BIPOC communities. Revenue not so much as the networking is the thing that seems to be my biggest challenge without LI
- trinsic2 4y agoI left linkedin for all the shady things they are doing, see my previous comment for more information: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31762904#31767463 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31762904#31767463. I rely mostly on my my website for marketing and some twitter. I write articles in my field that focus on topics that are not well covered, but important. When I create relevant content, google picks it up. It sounds like your field relies a lot on word of mouth, so maybe you can get your audience to talk about subjects that are important, by breaching topics that are a concern for your audience.
- Fargoan 4y agoI've only ever heard one person use the term BIPOC to refer to themself in real life. Do people actually say this? Other than that one guy, I only ever see the term online or hear it on NPR. And it seems to have only popped up in the last couple of years. My initial reaction when I heard it was that it seems kind of racist and weird to single out Indigenous and Black people then lump together the rest of the various groups of not White people in the world.
