  • Should Artists Look Into LinkedIn? (The Benefits That Creators Don't Recognize)
    May 19 2025

    Think LinkedIn is just for job seekers or corporate professionals?

    That perspective might be costing you daily, every time you don't show up there.

    In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on why LinkedIn is quickly becoming one of the most powerful platforms available to creators — musicians, podcasters, writers, and artists alike.

    While the majority of creators are chasing trends on Instagram or TikTok, LinkedIn offers a fresh way to build meaningful relationships, connect with decision-makers, and open doors that actually matter.

    Plus, you'll get a sneak peek at an upcoming masterclass with LaShonda Brown, where you’ll learn how to jump into LinkedIn confidently and authentically, building networks that fuel your creative career.

    Whether you’re skeptical or just curious, this episode will change how you think about LinkedIn — and give you the inspiration you need to show up in on a platform that will reward your creativity and authenticity with opportunities for income and influence.
