Ever Feel Like a Wallflower on LinkedIn Publisher? You are not alone
Wallflower A person who has no one to dance with or who feels excluded at a party.
It's a tradition that died out in the 1950s.
At formal dances, ladies would be provided with a card listing the order of the dances. Men would sign up for specific dances.
If no one signed their dance card, ladies would end up with the humiliating experience of sitting on the sidelines watching others dance.

After 3 years of posting on LinkedIn Publisher, that's how I felt.
I stopped posting on LinkedIn Publisher 4 months ago. I did another post last week as some individuals were indicated that things had improved on LinkedIn Publisher. They haven't.
This photo gives a clear picture of my reasons. It was a pointless exercise with little return.
I explained the reasons why I was stopping at the end of my post and directed readers to my blogs and beBee.
"Sayonara... Auf Wiedersehen...for Now...
As organic reach, visibility, and distribution of blog content on this platform are so low, this will be my last LinkedIn Publisher post for a while. I will resume publishing here again if and when there is an improvement.
In the meantime, I will continue to share team building tips and best practices on:

Katyan Roach and like Brian and many others I have chosen to walk away from their blogging platform. There was no point.

I truly view writing in LI as a place where your peers can easily gauge, based on how well you write or express a point of view, your knowledge on a particular topic. but like all platforms, connection and engagement with those connections are key. People read the stuff from their connections or the people who's opinion they admire or respect. I'm not privy to how much LI does to promote new content or what criteria is used to determine what/who gets promoted but in the end, any platform that we choose to write for that is not our own, leaves us open to their "whims and fancy." We have the choice as to whether we want to dance or to walk away. Nice Article Anne \ud83d\udc1d Thornley-Brown, MBA
