Inactive accounts: The Army of the Living Dead on LinkedIn

Inactive accounts: The Army of the Living Dead on LinkedIn

LinkedIn has a problem with inactive users. Dead users, bots and profiles that do not communicate distort the statistics massively. LinkedIn actually has 810 million accounts worldwide. 17 million in the DACH region. But not even one in ten of them is actually active. Statistics show that there are industries in which just one percent of LinkedIn users actually actively use the platform. And even behind the users who are active, there is often only an artificial intelligence. This is a problem that threatens the credibility of the network. LinkedIn: $26.2 billion for tons of inactive accounts When Microsoft took over the business network LinkedIn in 2016, the American IT giant paid a whopping 26.2 billion dollars. At that time, there were around 433 million users on the platform. Within the past six years, this number has almost doubled. The problem is that many of the users don't exist or no longer exist. Or they are inactive. The statistics of active and inactive users alone are alarming. In the DACH region, the business services sector is the most active on LinkedIn. Or rather: it is the least inactive industry. Here, just one in five users participates in the exchange on the platform. The situation is similar in the software & IT services (19 percent active users) and manufacturing (17 percent) sectors. Even in the media sector, which is otherwise very strong in communication, just 13 percent of users are active. These industries are particularly inactive on LinkedIn Particularly few users are active in the public safety and agriculture sectors. Zero percent, to be precise. The registered users turn these sectors into digital ghost towns. But the situation is no better in legal services and the humanities (each with one percent active users). Strictly speaking, there is no sector in which even a majority of users are active. It does not matter whether the DACH market or the US users are considered. American LinkedIn users are slightly more active, but not enough to reverse the trend. In Microsoft's home country, just 23 percent of users in the software and IT services sector are actually active on LinkedIn. In other areas, there are significantly fewer. For example, in manufacturing (8 percent). What role does artificial intelligence play on LinkedIn? The statistics on inactive users are further distorted by the phenomenon of artificial intelligence. It is doubtful whether all active users are actually real people. This is due to the work of Renée Di Resta and Josh Goldstein. The two scientists from the Stanford Internet Observatory in California uncovered over 100,000 fake accounts on LinkedIn in March 2022. And there is a business model behind it. Profiles are created with the help of an artificial intelligence. The pictures are computer-generated, the resumes made up. The only thing that is real is the current employer. The sends the fake accounts on customer acquisition by mail on LinkedIn. If a user responds, a real employee takes over. Di Resta and Goldstein have uncovered a total of 70 companies. How many fake accounts there are is completely unclear. Already in 2019, for example, LinkedIn deleted 21.6 million fake accounts. Ninety-five percent of them - or 19.5 million - never went online in the first place, they say, because it was already clear when they signed up that they were fake accounts. Why are there so many inactive users on LinkedIn? LinkedIn does not delete profiles that are inactive. There is nothing about that in the terms and conditions. If a user dies, the network must be notified. LinkedIn can then delete the profile or at least put it in a "commemorative state", as the company calls it. The second problem is likely to be the general orientation of the network. LinkedIn is a platform designed to bring people together on a professional level. During working hours, however, many employees do not want to or are not allowed to spend time on the platform. In their free time, however, they are on other sites. For many, LinkedIn is also more of a digital business card that requires little maintenance. Making data-based decisions When deciding which social network to use for organic content and ads, don't be blinded by glossed-over usage statistics. sonicboom takes a look behind the scenes of a platform in partnership with you. This way you can make data-based decisions and always keep an eye on your target group and your competitors. You can do this, for example, with sonicboom's target group and competitor analyses.

Digital gender gap: Linkedin is a sausage fest

Digital gender gap: Linkedin is a sausage fest

There is a gender gap on Linkedin. In almost all professional fields, there are more men than women. Recruiters prefer men and female profiles are clicked less often. Linkedin is a male domain. The gender gap on the career platform is enormous. The network has 774 million users worldwide. Only 43 percent of them are female, 57 percent are male. In Austria and Germany, the difference is even more severe, with 61 percent to 39 percent in each country. These statistics also have implications for the job market. After all, Linkedin is not only a business network, but also a job exchange. The platform places four people in a new job every minute. Gender Gap on Linkedin: Men get more clicks However, if the pool of applicants is dominated by men, they also benefit disproportionately in the job search. According to Linkedin itself, the probability that a profile will be clicked on is 13 percent higher if it is a man. One reason for this, Linkedin believes, is the humbleness of women. In America, they would put 11 percent fewer skills on their profiles. But profiles with five or more skills have 17 times more visitors than profiles with fewer details. Within individual sectors, some enormous gender gaps occur on Linkedin in the German-speaking market. In just two sectors, there are as many women as men on the platform. In NGOs and in the wellness and fitness sector. In all other professional fields, there are exclusively more men than women. Even in health care, which is dominated by women in practice. Female and male industries on Linkedin Within the industries, the picture then is that in public safety, women make up just 18 percent. In construction, it's just 19 percent. In energy and mining, it's just 25 percent. An obvious explanation would be that these sectors are "men's occupations." This is true to the extent that many skilled trades occupations in this sector are male-dominated. However, these professions tend not to be represented on Linkedin. This means that management and leadership functions in the companies with the highest turnover in this sector are also male-dominated. And this is true even in industries where even the perceived female quota of public debate is higher. Even in real estate (36 percent women), consumer goods (31 percent) and even retail (37 percent), women are underrepresented on Linkedin. Gender Gap: From Linkedin to the Real World It doesn't stop at a digital phenomenon. The negative impact of the gender gap on Linkedin in the real world of work is noticeable. So strong, in fact, that Oxford University professor Ridhi Kashyap and doctor Florianne Verkroost have dedicated a separate study to them in 2021. They emphasize that digital networks can help especially those who have a harder time on the job market due to skin color, gender, or origin. In addition, men are statistically more likely to participate in networking activities outside of working hours than women. Especially if there are children in the household. Networks like Linkedin, in theory, serve as a flexible compensation for this. And Linkedin data does indeed accurately reflect equality in real life. The network is available in two hundred countries around the world. In 34 of them, there are as many or even slightly more women registered on the platform as men. Data from the International Labor Organization (ILO) shows that 29 of these countries (including Latvia, Lithuania, Myanmar, and Vietnam) also have better occupational gender equality. Difference between Linkedin in the USA and in the DACH area. The difference between the US and the DACH market is less clear than thought. The American Linkedin user base is a bit more female. In total, there are more or at least the same number of women in five of 23 industries: legal services, nonprofits, humanities, healthcare, and wellness and fitness. The education sector, which spans many industries, is also female-dominated. It's a statistic that points to a future with more equality. That women are being disadvantaged in the workforce is nothing new. The ILO calculates that in managerial, professional and technical occupations, the proportion of women is just 45 percent. The difference is particularly clear in management positions. Two-thirds are held by men. In Austria, not even a quarter of the supervisory boards of the 200 companies with the highest turnover are female (Germany: 30 percent) and a whopping 91 percent of managing directors are male (Germany: 85 percent). All this has an impact. According to Eurostat, women in Austria earn 19 percent less than men. In Germany, the figure is 18 percent. The EU average, which is also not exhilarating, is 13 percent. Expressed in euros, this means that women are paid 670,000 euros less than men during their working lives. Men receive 1.5 million euros, women only 830,000 euros. This is why women receive only 68 percent of men's pensions and are at massive risk of poverty in old age. Gender gap is a structural problem In the public debate, it is often pointed out that women take care of children or elderly relatives. That they take lower-paid jobs or part-time employment. But these are not voluntary choices in their mass. "If 75 percent of all mothers with children work part-time, no one can tell me that this is an individual problem - instead, we have to address it structurally," explains Katharina Mader, an economist at the Vienna Chamber of Labor. And this structure would look like giving men more tax relief and social policy subsidizing the concept of the mother and housewife. One approach to solving the problem could be to bring classic male and female occupations into line in terms of pay. This is the case in New Zealand. If two professions require a similar amount of training and have a comparable workload, the salary should be equalized. An example would be physically demanding nursing professions, in which women are predominantly employed, and male-dominated road construction. New Zealand has thus raised pay in the education sector in particular.

Big Data: Why your expensive online campaign is a waste of money

Big Data: Why your expensive online campaign is a waste of money

A shop full of customers who only want to have a look causes expenses without generating sales. Although no one wants that, everyone pays their online marketing for exactly that. Why this waste? Evaluating online advertising is not witchcraft. It is quite simple. If all the clicks and hearts, the comments and the digital reach do not lead to more sales, they are worthless. Even the greatest attention does not pay the bill or secure a job. But that is exactly what matters. And with the targeted evaluation of big data, it is also possible. The internet is as simple as a corner shop Despite digitalization, trends, and platforms, the core business remains as simple as a corner shop. If customers only come to look, they cause costs. They tie up employees' labour, need attention, and clutter up the display. If they leave the shop without buying anything, even the nicest shop has to close at the end of the month. In such a case, the marketing department will wash its hands of the matter. The customers were there. The shop was full. The management might even agree and go in search of errors. But there is a high probability that the marketing department's supposed success is only a deception. It has obviously targeted the wrong people. In digital marketing - from blog articles on your site to comment columns to social networks - the same thing often happens. Hundreds of thousands of clicks and views are no proof that an online campaign was successful. If at the end of it there is no increase in sales and the number of customers has not increased, it is only proof that the marketing department has wasted money. Because it's not just about attention. That is only the first step. After that, customers have to network with you and buy something. The task of good online marketing is to address only those users who want to, because they would benefit from it. Everyone knows their customers: sonicboom finds them Every good management knows its customers. They know how old they are and what they earn. They know their living situation, how many children live in the house and when they have time to go shopping. Not only that, but they know the competition they will go to if the work is not done well. Transferred to an online campaign, this would mean only addressing very selected users at all. And this is exactly where sonicboom helps. Their core competence is to use the huge pool of data provided by the internet so efficiently that you, as a customer, no longer have any scatter losses. Curating Big Data in such a way that your shop is not full of customers who only want to look. Big Data is easy to understand. It's about organising a seemingly infinite amount of data so that the jumble becomes clear information. Current examples that everyone is familiar with are artificial intelligences that look at medical images and data of patients until they recognise a pattern for early diagnosis of cancer. Computers in cars are shown so many videos of other vehicles until they themselves can steer the car without an accident. The Big Data Pool also hides the secret of your customers. Or rather, new customers. sonicboom can pick out the data that benefits your company from a sea of information. Because your customers also have certain paths on the internet that form a pattern. sonicboom interprets these patterns and compares you with users who are not yet your customers, but could become so. Who is your clientele? The single woman over 30 who lives in the city, rides a bicycle because she doesn't have a car, uses Samsung instead of Apple out of conviction, has at least 1,500 euros a month to spare, and usually surfs the Internet around 8 pm. Or the father of two, aged 40 and over, who lives in the suburbs, works, drives an electric car, has no great interest in smartphones, has about 300 euros leftover and is usually on the Internet during his lunch break. Forget clicks, increase efficiency with Big Data So instead of shoving your digital advertising poster in everyone's face on the internet, sonicboom specifically selects the people who really benefit from contact with you. In this way, vague marketing campaigns, the success of which is hardly traceable, are turned into concrete success figures, which are matched by clear costs. After all, your Internet presence is like your production. There are costs behind it that have to deliver a certain result. But in the case of your Internet presence, this is not usually as concretely measurable as with production. sonicboom would like to change that. If costs and results of the digital presence are known, the value of this information increases and the company becomes more flexible in its application. Because every euro in the till is worth the same at the end of the year. And the money does not come from customers who only want to look.

Earned, owned, paid: these media will turn you into an internet star

Earned, owned, paid: these media will turn you into an internet star

A bit of Facebook, nice pictures on Instagram and a few peanuts put into the ads and the customers come running. That's not how digital communication works. Paid media can do more harm than good if owned media and earned media are neglected. A basic course. The provocative post on Facebook has triggered discussions. The feel-good photo on Instagram has received thousands of hearts. And the ad campaign attracted a few users to the site. It's so easy when the money is flowing. The internet giants promise attention and companies take the bait with the sweet poison of easy clicks. But if the money stops flowing at some point, your company disappears into digital insignificance. But there is another way. Paid Media: The sweet venom of easy clicks It's easy to generate clicks and get some attention on the web. Likes, hearts, and even comments can be bought for pennies. If you pay the big internet companies, the complicated algorithms that separate the relevant from the unimportant no longer apply. They are above the search results. Literally. The problems arrive when the money stops flowing. The pennies mentioned add up very quickly to painful amounts. Those who end the campaign will realize that the digital attention for the company was not sustainable. The users are gone and won't come back. No wonder. Because they were not specifically selected people with a potential interest in their product, but click cattle. What is Paid Media? The term paid media comes from media planning and refers to all forms of paid media types. This includes posters as well as online advertising or paid reach on social media. Since Nokia first used the term in 2008, additional technical terms such as paid social media or paid ads have been added. The principle is the same, but limited to a specific form of media. The problem with paid media is the lack of long-term sustainability. Because of supposedly easy successes in the form of increased clicks and many likes, companies concentrate too much on this form of advertising. This leads to worthless hits on the page and a lot of wasted money. In addition, much more important and sustainable forms of media are neglected. What is Owned Media? Owned media are all media types that are under the direct control of the company. They belong to the company. They are therefore all communication channels on which you can broadcast your own content. For example, the self-created homepage, the own Facebook page, or a theme-based blog. The advantage of owned media is that companies have full control over the content. Here, marketing departments can theoretically build something sustainable. With search engine optimized texts, user-friendly navigation, and with customer-oriented communication. If a company bungles at this point because it relies on the worthless clicks of paid media, customers can be put off because they are put off by the poor presentation, the inferior content or the unreasonable menu navigation. Some communication departments are not even aware of the poor state of their own pages because feedback is missing due to the paid clicks. What is Earned Media? Earned Media refers to posts on other sites about your business. In the form of articles, reviews, or comments. This kind of attention cannot be produced by yourself or artificially, it has to be earned - hence the name. This type of internet presence is particularly valuable because it involves independent contributions that spread organically. They enjoy a high level of trust among users. But as the name suggests, companies can only earn this kind of communication. For example, active complaint management takes customers' problems seriously and tries to solve them. In the form of constructive responses in the social media channels, for example. Proactive advertising divisions can also create topics for newspapers and support them in their research. Paid, Owned, and Earned Media: Sustainable combination For successful communication, first and foremost, owned media and earned media must be implemented in a structured way. It doesn't make sense to buy clicks that lead to low-quality content. This is how companies pay for alienating their own customers. It is more sustainable to concentrate on the channels that are already there. Here, a huge amount of data can be analyzed, with which targeted content can be used efficiently to turn users into paying customers. sonicboom has established itself as an expert team for this type of communication. It is important that all the cogs in this digital strategy work together. It's about evaluating how the company is rated on various platforms and drawing the right conclusions from that. If the company is torn apart on job platforms, it won't get the right applicants. But if the points of criticism are addressed and communicated internally, the company's image will improve in the long term. Communication is so much more than advertising on Facebook and a few Google Ads. Properly implemented, it can be the key to a company's success. Nothing less should be the claim. Because there are many resources behind communication - not only money but also manpower. Accordingly, success must be measured and expressed in key figures. Corporate success is not measured in clicks and likes. We identify network effects between digital silos for more sustainable visibility in the digital space. We look forward to talking about your network effect potential!
