What she found was not only leads, but an insanely low competition rate on LinkedIn when it came to creating video content. She quickly realized the opportunity on LinkedIn for organic growth was incomparable to other platforms and, within 6 months of creating videos consistently for her page, had grown to over 25,000 followers and generated over 50 Million video views on LinkedIn.
