Let's raise our profile together!
A year ago, we made a conscious decision to focus on one social media platform and become more active there. We chose LinkedIn.
And it paid off: Since we’ve been actively posting on LinkedIn on a regular basis, we’ve been able to quadruple our follower count within a year—from 200 to over 800 followers. This shows that our topics resonate, and the more visible we are together, the more effectively we can position nursing science in the public eye.
Now we’d like to work with you to build on this momentum and further expand our reach. That’s why we need you!
Why LinkedIn Is Important:
- Visibility of Nursing Science Among the (Professional) Public
- Networking with experts, institutions, and decision-makers
- Raising Awareness of Our AFGs and Their Issues
- Recruiting new members and prospective members
Here's how you can support us
- Follow our LinkedIn page: If you haven't already, click here to our LinkedIn page, Just one click is all it takes.
- Get active: Visibility isn't just about followers—it's about interaction. Sharing and commenting are particularly effective. Both generate significantly more reach and visibility than a simple “Like.” Share posts within your own network or in relevant groups to further increase your reach—and a good comment doesn’t have to be long. These examples are often enough: “Interesting post, thanks for sharing!”, “That matches our real-world experience exactly,” “Important topic—thanks for bringing this to light.”
- Invite your network: Do you know any colleagues, former students, or institutions that could benefit from our content? If so, mention us in your own posts or comments, share our posts directly with interested people via message, and invite them to follow our page right away.
Do you have any ideas for topics to cover in LinkedIn posts?
We’re always happy to receive interesting contributions from the AFGs or your network—whether it’s a research project, a conference recap, or a success story. Just get in touch with us: info@vfp-apsi.ch
Do you know of any other academic networks that you think would be relevant and that we aren't currently using? We're open to suggestions. Please feel free to share your ideas with us via email as well.
