How to Upload Your Oktopost Certification to LinkedIn

Congratulations! You recently attended an in-person or 1:few Oktopost Certification workshop and earned an Oktopost Certification. Since LinkedIn is the first impression you give to potential and current employers, prospects, and customers it’s important to make sure it’s up-to-date with your most recent achievements. It’s a great way to put your best foot forward on social.

Best Practices

LinkedIn is a two-way street, which means it’s as much about you as it is about your network visiting your profile.

Once you add your certification to LinkedIn, go ahead and create a meaningful post about the experience. Recall something you learned, share a photo, or consider what you may do differently in the future after gaining new knowledge.

When you use this opportunity to create a post, your exciting news and hard work in upskilling will go further on LinkedIn.

For your network, your certification will be music to their ears as they will be eager to engage with your post. And depending on the engagement, this could be a great post to feature at the top of your profile!

When posting on LinkedIn, don’t forget to:

  • Tag @Oktopost
  • Tag any of the influential people you met that day
  • Add hashtags: #b2bsocialmedia #marketing #socialmedia #socialmediamarketing #oktopost #certification

And as always, if you need assistance with any of the above, from adding your certificate, or crafting a post, we’d be happy to help! Please feel free to connect directly with your dedicated customer success manager.
