Quick, punchy, and packed with the kind of tiny updates that can quietly change your marketing game.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Do This Not That, the podcast from marketers. |
| 0:05.1 | We share quick tips, things you can do right now, and then we add a little bit of chaos at the end of every episode. |
| 0:11.6 | We also keep it short, like this intro. Let's check it out. |
| 0:16.1 | We are back for what's up this week from the Do This Not That podcast presented by Marigold. |
| 0:21.2 | And this is where we share what's going on this week in marketing, in business, and in life. |
| 0:26.4 | This was an episode format that we kind of bailed on, but we had a lot of feedback that people liked hearing about what was going on this week. |
| 0:32.5 | So we're bringing it back. Super short. And when we share, what is the new stuff you should be knowing about some of it's |
| 0:39.3 | important some of it's useless let's get into the mildly important stuff so first off some changes to |
| 0:45.1 | LinkedIn Instagram some email stuff so on LinkedIn you may not have heard but this is really cool |
| 0:51.0 | so now they've updated the analytics on LinkedIn, and now you can actually |

| 1:08.8 | are taking the post that you put out there or your company put out there and then send it in a private DM to somebody else? This is really |
| 1:16.5 | cool. And these are two metrics that LinkedIn uses a lot to decide how much they should circulate a post |
| 1:21.4 | or whatever. So if you've not seen this yet, all you got to do is go to the engagement area and then |
| 1:28.6 | click on your posts. |
| 1:29.7 | And then when you scroll down, you actually see the number of saves and the number of |
| 1:33.8 | sends that are taking place. |
| 1:35.9 | And the reason this is important is it can then start to help to craft what type of content |
| 1:40.6 | you should be putting out there to get more saves and more sends, which is kind of cool. |
| 1:45.8 | And so what else is going on? The other thing came out about LinkedIn, and they'll get off |
| 1:50.0 | of LinkedIn, I promise, is that Buffer came out. They had analyzed 2 million LinkedIn posts |
