How to Run a LinkedIn Live Event (Tutorials & Examples) by ATVM Team

Learn how to run a LinkedIn Live event with step-by-step tutorials and examples. Boost engagement, grow your audience, and build authority.

Why You Should Use LinkedIn Live

If you want to:

Reach more people
Show your face and voice
Build trust fast

Then LinkedIn Live is your tool.

Live video creates real-time connection.
It gets 7x more reactions and 24x more comments than normal posts.

When people comment, LinkedIn pushes your video to more users.
That means more visibility, more engagement, more reach.

How to Go Live on LinkedIn

Before you can go live:

Your profile must be 30 days old
You need at least 150 followers
You should follow LinkedIn’s guidelines
Live is not available in China

But here’s the catch:
You can’t go live directly on LinkedIn.

You need a third-party tool like:

StreamYard (easy for beginners)
Restream (multi-platform streaming)
Zoom or Google Meet (simple setups)
Vimeo or Socialive (advanced users)

Once your tool is ready:

Test your mic, camera, lighting
Check your internet speed
Set up your event page on LinkedIn
Add a catchy title, banner, and short description

Now you’re ready.

How LinkedIn Live Grows Your Brand

LinkedIn Live can:

Show you're serious about your work
Prove you know your field
Attract attention from recruiters
Build a personal brand
Make people remember you

Why it works:

When you go live, your network gets notified
More people see your video in their feed
You can talk, answer questions, and show personality
You don’t need ads—it’s free

Even better—few people use it. So, you stand out.

Tips for Hosting a Great LinkedIn Live

1. Plan your content

Have a clear agenda.
What will you speak about? In what order?
Prepare points, questions, or slides.

2. Use simple tools like StreamYard

You can add your logo, colors, and banners.
It makes your live session look clean and professional.

3. Add interactive parts

Ask questions
Run polls
Use the chat box actively

People stay longer when they’re part of the talk.

4. Invite speakers

Each guest can invite up to 1,000 of their contacts.
That gives you more reach, more viewers, and more credibility.

5. Promote your event

Tag your speakers
Post teaser clips
Share countdowns
Send reminders

6. Choose the right time

Best days: Tuesday to Thursday
Best time: 12 PM to 3 PM

Don't forget to remove RSVP barriers. Make it open.

7. Avoid last-minute issues

Test everything one day before:
Mic, Camera, Lighting, Wi-Fi
Close all tabs and apps while you’re live

After the Event: What To Do

1. Send thank-you notes

Email your audience. Say thanks.
Attach slides or useful links.
Ask for feedback.

Example:

Subject: Thanks for joining our LinkedIn Live
Body:
“We loved having you! Here’s a summary and the key takeaways.
Tell us what you think so we can improve.”

2. Share video clips

Cut short 30-60 sec clips of the best moments.
Post them on LinkedIn with quotes or takeaways.

3. Run retarget ads

Use LinkedIn ads to show event highlights to:

Attendees
No-shows
People who visited your event page

4. Collect feedback

Ask simple questions like:

What did you like most?
What topics do you want next?
Would you attend again?

Use Google Forms or SurveyMonkey.

5. Write a recap post

Mention top insights.
Tag speakers.
Add link to the replay.

How to write a linkedin headline that gets you noticed

(with real examples for electrical job seekers)

what is a LinkedIn headline?

It’s the first thing people see below your name
It shows in:

Search results
Connection requests
Post comments
Job applications

You get 220 characters to tell:

Who you are
What you can do
What you want

why it matters for your career

Recruiters decide in 2 seconds whether to click or skip your profile
Your headline appears even if they don’t open your full profile
The right headline puts you in search results
It gives clarity and confidence about your direction

don’t leave it as "Student at XYZ" or "Looking for Job"

These headlines say nothing about your skills or goals

Instead, tell:

What you know
What you’ve done

What you want to do

what makes a strong linkedin headline?

👉 Here’s a simple formula:

Current/Target Role + Key Skills + Proof of Work + Goals/Passion

examples for electrical engineers (job seekers)

freshers:

Electrical Engineering Graduate | Power System Analysis | PSCAD & ETAP Learner | Open to Trainee Roles
B.E Electrical | Hands-on with Load Flow & Short Circuit Studies | Seeking Entry-level Power System Role
Recent Electrical Grad | Final Year Project on Grid Stability | Learning Python for Power Systems

internship seekers:

Electrical Intern @TNEB | SCADA Basics | Worked on Distribution Loss Reduction Model
Final Year Student | ETAP & MATLAB | Substation Layout Project | Passionate about Grid Automation

job seekers (experienced):

2 Yrs Exp in Power System Studies | ETAP | Fault & Load Flow Analysis | Looking for Project Engineer Role
Power System Analyst | PSCAD, Load Flow, Relay Coordination | Former Intern @L&T
Electrical Design Engineer | 11kV-33kV Layouts | Cable Sizing | Drafting with AutoCAD

what not to write in your headline

❌ Looking for a job
❌ Unemployed and available
❌ Team player and quick learner
❌ Just student at XYZ College

These headlines create pity, not interest.

real pain you’re solving

Your headline must solve someone's problem.
Recruiters are not searching for “students”. They’re searching:

"ETAP power system analysis"
"load flow simulation engineer"
"SCADA automation knowledge"

If your headline uses these words, you show up in their search.

how to check if your headline is working

Go to your LinkedIn profile → “Analytics” section
Look at:

Who viewed your profile
Which keywords you were found for
Which companies searched you

If numbers are low → Change headline
Test different versions → Track results weekly

last steps: write, test, repeat

Your first headline won’t be perfect
But don’t leave it empty
Or boring
Or confusing

Change it. Track it. Improve it.
Every word in those 220 characters is your chance.
