What if the way you’ve been going live on LinkedIn… is about to completely change?

Starting June 22, 2026, there’s a major update to LinkedIn Live that every creator, coach, and service professional needs to understand:

You will no longer be able to go live spontaneously.

Every live video must be scheduled in advance.

Now, before you think this is a limitation… It’s actually a massive opportunity if you use it the right way.

Here’s what this update unlocks:

• A dedicated event page to promote your live event in advance

• Multiple notifications sent to your audience before and during your event

• Visibility into exactly who attended your live

• The ability to follow up and start real conversations afterward

• Theatre mode so viewers can stay engaged while multitasking

In short, LinkedIn is turning live video into a lead generation and relationship-building tool… not just a broadcast feature.

And the best part?

You can still go live on short notice.

You just need to schedule it first, even if it’s only minutes before.

Here’s how we recommend doing it:

Use tools like StreamYard (my personal preference), Restream, or Riverside.

With StreamYard, you can click “create announcement,” which automatically sets up your LinkedIn event for you.

That means you can:

• Pre-record your content

• Schedule it strategically

• Build anticipation before you even go live

This isn’t a restriction.

It’s LinkedIn giving you more control, more visibility, and more opportunity to turn viewers into conversations.

The question is…Are you going to treat your live videos like random broadcasts…

What’s the first thing people do after they check out your LinkedIn profile?

They look for proof… and a next step.

That’s exactly what your Featured Section should do.

But most professionals either leave it empty or fill it with random links that don’t move the needle.

If you want your profile to actually convert profile views into conversations, leads, and clients, your Featured section needs to be intentional.

Here’s what should be in it:

• Your website

- A clear place for people to learn more about you, your services, and how you help.

• Your LinkedIn newsletter

- This builds authority and keeps you top of mind with consistent, value-driven content.

• A lead magnet

- Something valuable that solves a specific problem for your audience in exchange for their email.

This is how you turn visibility into an owned audience.

When these three pieces are working together, your profile stops being just a digital résumé… and starts becoming a lead generation asset.

Most people focus on getting more views.

The real question is: what happens after someone views your profile?

If your Featured Section isn’t guiding them somewhere meaningful, you’re leaving opportunities on the table.

Take a look at yours… does it lead people to the next step?

Want to stand out on LinkedIn without posting every single day?

Most professionals think visibility on LinkedIn comes from doing more.

- More posts.

- More connections.

- More messages.

But the truth is, standing out on LinkedIn isn’t about doing more.It’s about doing the right things intentionally.

In this episode, I break down 3 simple ways to stand out on LinkedIn that many professionals overlook.

First, optimize your profile background banner.

Your banner is prime real estate on your profile.

It should clearly communicate who you help, how you help them, and the value you provide.

When someone lands on your profile, they should instantly understand what you do.

Second, gather LinkedIn recommendations.

Recommendations provide powerful social proof.

They validate your expertise through the voices of clients, colleagues, and partners who have experienced your work firsthand.

Third, create thought leadership content.

Sharing insights, experiences, and perspectives positions you as someone worth listening to.

When you consistently provide value, people begin to see you as the expert in your space.

When these three things work together, something powerful happens.

- Your profile attracts the right people.

- Your credibility increases.

- And your content builds trust with your audience.

If you want to stand out on LinkedIn, focus less on doing everything and more on doing these three things well.

In this episode, we sit down with John Magnor, a 24-year-old sales strategist who helps B2B companies build scalable, predictable revenue systems. Working primarily with software companies and service providers, John partners with founders through consulting or equity to design the sales infrastructure that growing businesses often lack.

John began his career in sales at just 17 years old, learning the craft through real-world experience—cold calling, setting appointments, closing deals, and managing pipelines. Today, he uses that hands-on background to help companies transform inconsistent or chaotic sales processes into structured systems that support long-term growth.

In this conversation, John breaks down how he helps organizations hire and train sales teams, develop effective scripts, implement compensation plans, and build repeatable processes that remove the founder as the bottleneck. He also shares insights on CRM systems, outbound sales strategies, call coaching, and the metrics that actually matter when scaling a business.

Most of the companies John works with already have strong products or services. Their challenge isn’t the offer—it’s the lack of a clear sales process, accountability, and reliable systems. John’s focus is helping founders step out of day-to-day selling by building teams and structures that allow the business to grow without relying on one person to close every deal.

This episode is packed with practical insights on sales execution, leadership, and building systems that drive consistent growth. Whether you run a B2B company or lead a sales team, you’ll walk away with actionable ideas on how to create a cleaner, more scalable approach to revenue generation.

Most people create a LinkedIn event… and never look at the data behind it.

But the analytics LinkedIn now provides can completely change how you promote and grow your events.

In this episode, I break down the new LinkedIn Event analytics and how you can use them to understand what’s actually working.

You can now see insights like:

• Daily increases or decreases in registrations

• How many people are visiting the event page

• Your overall engagement rate

• Discovery metrics like impressions and members reached

But it goes deeper than that.

LinkedIn now shows whether people who discovered your event visited your profile, along with any profile activity generated, such as new views and followers.

You can also see top attendee demographics, giving you clarity on whether the right audience is accepting your invitation.

This data gives you real feedback so you can adjust your messaging, targeting, and promotion strategy while the event is still live.

If you’re hosting LinkedIn events and not reviewing these insights, you’re missing one of the most powerful optimization tools the platform provides.
