The platform involves more than just network connections and job listings, too.

Although users can hunt for a new career, share online portfolios and connect with other professionals, LinkedIn can also boost marketers’ and PR professionals’ efforts to create and share content.

Here are five ways to use LinkedIn in your content marketing strategy:
