The Power of Video: Boosting Your Nonprofit’s LinkedIn Presence

Did you know that LinkedIn video uploads have increased by 34% year over year?! 

If your nonprofit isn’t leveraging video on LinkedIn, you’re missing out on a major opportunity to connect with potential donors and advocates. In this episode, I’m sharing a replay of a recent livestream I co-hosted about the power of LinkedIn video with Scott Rising, Senior Content Marketing Manager at LinkedIn.

We cover why it’s the FASTEST growing content format on the platform and how nonprofits can use it as a catalyst for building relationships. Of course, we get into the nitty gritty of optimal video length, formats, and scripting the most powerful hooks, too.

Learn the best video tools like Canva (which is free for nonprofits!) and how to repurpose blog posts, webinars, and newsletters into engaging video stories.

I’ll also explain why you don’t need a professional production team to create impactful LinkedIn videos. Sometimes, all it takes is your phone, a $20 microphone, and a smart content plan to generate over a million impressions!

P.S. Want to watch the replay live? Here is the LinkedIn Live video.
