In this episode, we are going to take a deep dive into the 4 negatives of being a part of a social media engagement pod, especially on LinkedIn:  1. It’s only half the battle: The posts that get the pod treatment can still be downgraded when reviewed by the LinkedIn bots (if it’s determined to be spam) and if a LinkedIn “human” decides to diminish its placement. 2. It’s not always genuine: The worst pods can act like performance-enhancing steroids, juicing your numbers as an artificial attempt to inflate quality scores. 3. Superficial engagement can hurt your credibility: A simple comment (for comment’s sake) may not add much value to your LinkedIn community. A comment that says simply “I agree. Thanks for sharing!” is akin to all of the Instagram comments you see with flame emojis or “love this pic!” with heart emojis. 4. LinkedIn could react: The LinkedIn team probably doesn’t love the idea of pods, so there’s a good chance that they will take (or are already taking) measures to diminish the ROI of being part of one. It’s been reported that Facebook hates Instagram pods, and some groups were actually removed from the platform. LinkedIn can and will do the same if necessary.

About Lisa Christine Summerville:    As a born-and-raised Pittsburgh girl with nothing more than passion, my God-given talents and gifts, and a dream, I’m proud to have created a life I love and a global Entrepreneurial Feeder™ that has impacted and supported many women.  I love inspiring connections, camaraderie, and community.  Through our growth, 28 Carrots is proud to be a world-class community for women to choose collaboration over competition, to contribute, and to celebrate. I help people and companies, like you, dream big, make powerful choices, and innovate.  I back it up with meaningful action and results.  For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be on a stage and entertain a crowd. Growing up in my beloved Italian family, I'd organize all the relatives and lead everyone in activities and sing-a-longs at holiday gatherings.    I became a “champion of women" as a Girl Scout,  in college as a Kappa Delta Sorority member, and many other times in leadership with Women in Technology International, The Women's Leadership and Technology Consortium, and The Junior League of Boston. For the last 10 years, I have cultivated a global community of women and created many opportunities for connection, collaboration, and celebration.  After many successes, a few failures, and a lot of reflection, I realized that my unusual combination of interests and skills was a strength, not a liability. I gave up the security of the 9-5 and took the leap to build coaching, speaking, and training businesses from the ground up.   I have derived incredible joy in helping thousands of clients and colleagues with my words of encouragement, empowerment, and entertainment.    I have coached senior corporate executives, a billion-dollar heiress, and many women entrepreneurs.  I have been blessed to be an intrapreneur and entrepreneur in the corporate world and to follow my passions.   I believe in giving back to my community, impacting lives, and volunteering with many local organizations. Currently, I am focused on supporting the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center, an organization committed to empowering, engaging, and ending domestic violence in our community.   I love the life I live.  And I am happy to help you achieve the same.   My soul's purpose is to creatively express.  My mission is to empower, motivate, educate, and create.

WHY YOU SHOULD HOST A "LINKEDIN LIVE EVENT":    When LinkedIn announced its live feature 2 or so years ago, this gave users of the application a great way to create meaningful and genuine connections with their audience.   LinkedIn Events have always been a great resource for people to create and invite specific connections to an event that is value-added to the individual.    The wonderful thing LinkedIn has done, they have not only given LinkedIn Live Producers the ability to go live on the platform, but you can now go live in an event.    Here are 3 reasons why you must host a LinkedIn Live Event:    1. You can build trust and rapport with a specific network of individuals that you personally invited    2. The attendees and non-attendees can see the live stream at the same time, and watch the recording   3. It is a great way to provide educational and informative content to those who actually want to see it, and hear it directly from you.
