Social Media Industry Round-Up #15: Pinterest Creator Rewards, Post Scheduling on LinkedIn & Company Page Updates

Our Marketing team is back with a roundup of news & industry updates. This way, we keep our team, clients and interested marketers up to date with what's going on in the social media industry :)

Pinterest announced they’ve ended its Creator Rewards program and that they’re working on alternatives to support Pinterest creators.

Creator Rewards were a way for creators to make money on the platform by creating themed Idea Pins based on monthly prompts provided by Pinterest.

After some months of internal testing, LinkedIn has finally started to roll out native post scheduling.

How will it work? When writing a new update, there will be a clock next to the ‘post’ button, allowing users to schedule them up to 90 days in advance.

LinkedIn has announced some updates coming soon to Company Pages:

• Newsletter: Maximise discovery by editing SEO titles, descriptions and tags.
• Product Pages: Listed products will be discoverable via LinkedIn search and new Product Highlights to showcase specific items.
• Competitor Analytics: Track competitor follower growth, recent post performance and engagement rates.
• Brand Safety Hub: Allows advertisers to manage ad placements across LinkedIn Audience Network.

Listen to Joey talk through what services the department offers, the type of clients they work with, and how they work closely with other teams at The Social Shepherd.
