LinkedIn only Indexes the first 3 Hashtags in your post
3 – 5 # per post is the optimum number
Use more than 5 hashtags# & your post will be treated as a SPAM POST
NOT using ANY Hashtags # at all = -40% LESS Reach

Regular readers of my LinkedIn™ Articles and those who have attended my ‘LinkedIn™ for Business’ series of workshops will know that I am a huge fan of making sure you have an up to date, professionally taken professional headshot. Here are 9 headshot tips to make sure you get it right.
