Summary/Abstract

Nick believes that one of the most important things early career professionals can do to build their brand is to engage with like-minded people in their industry. He recommends finding content creators whose work you admire and adding value to their conversations on a daily basis. By doing this, you will organically drive people back to your own profile and begin to build a personal brand.

Nick talks about how he built his large and engaged LinkedIn community. He says that consistency and generosity are key to success on the platform. He also advises other LinkedIn users to go into the world with a curious mindset in order to build their own communities.

Nick and Jim also  discuss how LinkedIn can be used to build relationships and communities. Nick emphasizes the importance of helping others in their mission, rather than leveraging the conversation to help oneself.
