LinkedIn
The feature will only be available to users who pay for the premium
version of LinkedIn at first, though general users will be able to
upload their own photos in a few months. LinkedIn will also offer "an
exclusive gallery of beautiful background images," in case you're having
trouble finding a picture that fits your professional style.
Along with the new background photos, LinkedIn is introducing a slew
of new services for its premium subscribers. Premium users will now
stand out in search results by having profile listings that are twice
the size of those of unpaid subscribers. They'll also get personalized
suggestions for how they should optimize their profile for searches.
Premium users will now be able to leave their profiles "open" so that
more members can see their full profiles and reach out to them for free.
They'll be able to see a 90-day list of who has viewed their profiles
and the top 100 results for how they "rank" against their connections.
Premium services cost $23.99 per month, but LinkedIn just released a
new starter package called Premium Spotlight that only costs $7.99 per
month (only if you commit for a whole year though, if not it's $9.99 per
month).
Subscriptions represented 20% of total revenue in the first quarter
of 2014 for LinkedIn, and the company likely wants to jack that
percentage up by adding new features and introducing a cheaper version
of the service.
