Wanna post a cool LinkedIn video? We tell you what to do (and what not).

This is now cool to do on LinkedIn.

​It had to happen eventually. LinkedIn, the social media equivalent of having brunch with your boss, is becoming the place where you tell your boss off color jokes and get way too personal over Mimosas.
 
What was once a forum for simply announcing to the professional world that you didn’t “like to post about yourself but” you won an award no one’s ever heard of and that you were “more than thrilled to announce” you accepted a new job nobody cares about, is now edging toward you trying to gain a following through your totally original political views, funny as hell videos, and posts about your self-published book on leadership. 
 
LinkedIn looks more and more like Instagram if they had a “safe” version for teens (whoops, they have that already) and people like you wonder whether they should just start posting photos of their families and thirst memes or if they should stay with trying to act like a serious businessperson, as if that’s actually a thing.  
 
As we always do, the Intergalactic Business Report helps you navigate this new world of “cool” LinkedIn by listing what you should or shouldn’t do when posting.

8 tips for being cool on LinkedIn.  
 
-Go ahead and post a picture of you with your shirt off in front of a mirror and say you’re “more than thrilled to announce I’ve increased my delt size by 1/16th of an inch.”
 
-Tease showing your tits but don’t reveal nipples. 
 
-Limit references to Hitler as a CEO.
 
-No “beef” videos where you call out a former boss for being a little bitch.
 
-When you announce a promotion, don’t post slo-mo videos of you pouring money on strippers.
 
-Tattoo reveals are now fine.   
 
-Do an “on the street” interview where you walk around your office asking people who they think their hottest co-worker is. 
 
-Great idea: post a video of your boss giving a speech while you “react” to it on a different screen. If you’re not sure how to do this, just look confused sometimes, then nod, then sometimes point at the screen with your boss on it. Then shake your head no. It doesn’t need to make sense.
