LinkedIn dilemma

Hi girls,

I’m an early-career professional in my early 20s, still figuring things out. I enjoy writing and have experience in content writing through internships and my current role. I’m also deeply interested in finance, economics, and geopolitics.

I’m confused about whether I should start writing on LinkedIn. It feels overwhelming,there are already so many voices and opinions, and I’m hesitant to put myself out there. I don’t care much about likes or views; I actually prefer staying a bit anonymous, like on this platform. At the same time, I’ve been told LinkedIn can open doors and create opportunities.

I also enjoy writing on Medium, so I’m unsure which direction to take.

Would really appreciate your honest advice!

If you're trying to build a stronger online presence or like trying to build your personal brand then yes go for LinkedIn. Do not worry about the pre-existing creators there. They even had to start somewhere, right?

But medium can also help you get clients and all. That platform is really underrated.
Hey,

Thank you but if do people really reach out others on Medium work collabs, as LinkedIn has the options of DMs, engaging in post etc..but with Medium, I am just curious to understand how does that work?
Thanks!
I'll say go for all the topics you mentioned here to try it out on LinkedIn.

Soon you'll find which topic you are better at compared to others. You focus on that and excel in that.

And if you think it's all 3 topics then continue writing about all 3.

Btw what's the issue with being public about it?

I understand being anonymous when writing about your personal life. But if you are talking about finance, geopolitics and all, you don't need to be anonymous.

Build your brand. Make your name. And get all the opportunity that LinkedIn can provide you to grow in your career
Thanks Prachi, I'll try to implement this. As for remaining anonymous, I find writing on LinkedIn somewhat clichéd and also everyone is already covering these niches. However, I do accept that this isn't the best outlook.
Multiple people might already be covering the same niche as yours but they aren't living your life. And your life will help you bring your unique perspective to your writing.
Sorry guys, slightly unrelated to the topic, I have an art account on Instagram with less than 1 k followers, im very socially introvert, can someone help me give some tips to grow there 😭
