You’ve heard about Kuerate, and it’s piqued your interest—especially with its promises of data privacy, no spam, no unwanted content, and value-driven principles. But you’ve also built a significant equity on LinkedIn that you can’t simply walk away from. So, what’s the solution?
Let’s first address the value conflicts and your current position: We have written about this previously ("What are the issues with Linkedin")
- Your data on LinkedIn has already been shared with multiple external systems and providers. If you’re comfortable with that, it’s a consideration.
- LinkedIn’s verification process has raised concerns about where your personal information ends up and which company does the verification. If you’re okay with that, it’s another consideration.
- LinkedIn’s content and feeds are algorithmically optimized to keep you doomscrolling. Again, if you’re fine with that, it’s a factor.
- LinkedIn is part of Big Tech, under the Microsoft umbrella.
Most of us will likely continue to make these compromises, even if they don’t align with our personal values, because they feel necessary.
So, how do you navigate both sides of this value spectrum? Kuerate offers a practical bridge:
- You can import all your LinkedIn connections. Even better, Kuerate’s CRM capabilities let you refine and gain deeper insights into those connections. In my case, I could streamline my network to only the most meaningful or high-quality contacts.
- If you want to post content, it’s simple: create it in Kuerate, and it automatically formats for LinkedIn. You can copy and paste, or just share the link.
By doing these two things, you get the best of both worlds—building a quality presence on Kuerate while maintaining your footprint on LinkedIn.
