With over 930 million members and a valuation of more than $29 billion, it is now one of the most influential social media platforms for businesses and professionals alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brainchild of Reid Hoffman, Allen Blue, Konstantin Guericke, Eric Ly, and Jean-Luc Vaillant, LinkedIn was created to connect professionals from all around the globe. Over time, it has evolved into a comprehensive platform that offers various services such as LinkedIn Learning, an online learning portal; <a href=\"https:\/\/business.linkedin.com\/marketing-solutions\/linkedin-pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn Pages<\/a>, which allows companies to showcase their brand; and LinkedIn Pulse, a publishing tool for users to share content with their network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Year-on-year Increase:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its launch nearly two decades ago, LinkedIn has experienced consistent growth in terms of user base and revenue generation. The platform saw an impressive year-on-year increase in both membership numbers (from approximately 500 million members in 2017) and referral traffic (with over half-a-billion visits).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Social Media Platforms:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of Microsoft&#8217;s acquisition deal worth $29.2 billion back in June 2016 (a move endorsed by Bill Gates himself.), LinkedIn joined forces with other prominent social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter &#8211; further solidifying its position within the digital realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Influence On Target Audience:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With its ever-growing user base, LinkedIn has become an essential tool for businesses to connect with their target audience. From job seekers and recruiters to marketers and entrepreneurs, the platform caters to a wide range of professionals seeking growth opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LinkedIn&#8217;s success can be attributed not only to its focus on professional networking but also its commitment towards innovation. The company continuously invests in new features that enhance user experience while staying true to its core mission &#8211; connecting professionals worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_b134b1-74, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_b134b1-74[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_b134b1-74\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_b134b1-74 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_b134b1-74[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_b134b1-74\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_b134b1-74 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_b134b1-74\"><strong>Linked Vs. Facebook Vs. Twitter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When comparing LinkedIn with other social media giants like Facebook and Twitter, it&#8217;s essential to consider their respective IPO prices, user base, and revenue streams. All three of these platforms, though distinct in their objectives, are unified by the aim to join people from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>IPO Prices: A Look at Market Valuation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2011, LinkedIn&#8217;s IPO cost was set at $45 a share with the business being valued around $4 billion. In contrast, Facebook debuted in 2012 with an IPO price of $38 per share and a market valuation exceeding $100 billion. In 2013, Twitter made its stock market debut with an IPO price of $29 per share and a valuation around $14 billion, far below the staggering amounts seen in LinkedIn&#8217;s and Facebook&#8217;s IPOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to today; LinkedIn is now valued at more than <strong>$29 billion,<\/strong> while Facebook boasts a staggering market cap surpassing <strong>$562 billion,<\/strong> dwarfing both LinkedIn and Twitter combined (<em>source<\/em>). On the other hand, Twitter has experienced steady growth over time but still lags behind its competitors with a current valuation near <strong>$41 billion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>User Base: Target Audience &amp; Engagement Levels<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_0150af-f2:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_0150af-f2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_0150af-f2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:23px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_0150af-f2 .kb-svg-icon-wrap{color:#f3b509;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_0150af-f2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:20px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_0150af-f2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap, .kt-svg-icon-list-items_0150af-f2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap a{color:#000000;color:#000000;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_0150af-f2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_0150af-f2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:23px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_0150af-f2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:23px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items_0150af-f2 kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone kt-list-icon-aligntop\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_ea2fab-2c\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" ><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong><em>Focusing on professionals:<\/em><\/strong> LinkedIn primarily targets working professionals seeking career advancement opportunities or networking connections within their industry.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_3a5e92-c5\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" ><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong><em>Socializing for everyone:<\/em><\/strong> Facebook caters to users looking to connect with friends and family, while Twitter focuses on real-time conversations and trending topics.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_c69ea0-53\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" ><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong><em>Engagement levels:<\/em><\/strong> LinkedIn&#8217;s users spent an average of 41 minutes per month on the platform in Q4 2023 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessofapps.com\/data\/linkedin-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><em>source<\/em><\/a>).

These diversified revenue streams have contributed to LinkedIn&#8217;s impressive growth over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, although LinkedIn may not boast the same user base or market valuation as Facebook and Twitter, its focus on professional networking sets it apart from other social media platforms. This unique positioning has allowed LinkedIn to carve out a niche within the crowded online landscape and become an essential tool for businesses worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_d265b4-7f, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_d265b4-7f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_d265b4-7f\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_d265b4-7f mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_d265b4-7f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_d265b4-7f\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_d265b4-7f wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_d265b4-7f\"><strong>Growth &amp; Expansion Of LinkedIn&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its inception in 2003, LinkedIn has experienced tremendous growth with a year-on-year increase in users and revenue.

Another significant move was the purchase of Lynda.com in 2015 for $1.5 billion &#8211; this educational platform formed the basis for LinkedIn Learning, offering thousands of courses to help professionals upskill themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Diversifying Revenue Streams<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_6acff2-72:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_6acff2-72 ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_6acff2-72 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:23px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_6acff2-72 .kb-svg-icon-wrap{color:#f3b509;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_6acff2-72 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:20px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_6acff2-72 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap, .kt-svg-icon-list-items_6acff2-72 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap a{color:#000000;color:#000000;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_6acff2-72 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_6acff2-72 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:23px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_6acff2-72 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:23px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items_6acff2-72 kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone kt-list-icon-aligntop\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_852dea-fe\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" ><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>Talent Solutions:<\/strong> A major source of LinkedIn&#8217;s revenue comes from Talent Solutions &#8211; a suite of tools that helps companies find top talent by leveraging user data.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_5b25ac-f8\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" ><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>Premium Subscriptions:<\/strong> Premium subscriptions offer additional features such as InMail credits (to contact non-connections), advanced search filters, job insights, etc., contributing significantly to LinkedIn&#8217;s overall income.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_2c8e8f-b0\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" ><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>Sponsored Content &amp; Advertising:<\/strong> Businesses can also advertise on LinkedIn using sponsored content or display ads targeting specific demographics within their desired audience.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Powerhouse: Microsoft Acquisition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In June &#8217;16, Microsoft declared its intention to purchase LinkedIn for an immense $29 billion &#8211; a significant tech transaction at the time.
