LinkedIn has added short polls as part of its user-features.
The social network said on its official blog that its new polls feature will help users get feedback from their networks, & is also a new way of starting new conversations & discussions with trusted connections.
Here’s how to create a lightweight poll in 30 seconds or less
- Start a new post & click the “Create a Poll” option in the chooser menu
- Type your question, enter up to 4 answer options, & select the poll’s duration — between 24 hours & up to 2 weeks
- Write up a post to go along with your poll — you can include hashtags to help your poll get more attention
- Push the poll live to either your connections, specific Groups you’re in, or to anyone across the LinkedIn network. By targeting specific Groups with your poll, you can get even more relevant insights — for example, if you are in a Group for marketers, you could ask about the group member’s favorite tool for email marketing management.
