LinkedIn vs X (Twitter)? What works best for you?

I have been using LinkedIn for 4 years (33K followers). Last year, I started using Twitter (3K followers). All inbound. What works best depends on your product and your audience. LinkedIn is the best for B2B. Twitter is the best for building in public B2C, and it works for cheap B2B, too. For my service business, LinkedIn works better. But my clients like that I use Twitter, too. For selling digital products, both platforms work well.

LinkedIn was working well for me initially but then the engagement there just dropped. With X, I have love-hate relationship now :/

I love LinkedIn for many years already, recently I finally go the answer from the lead I contacted 7 years ago 😁

It's been just about 2 months on Twitter and ~1 week of being active on LinkedIn. The #buildinpublic seems to work really great on Twitter and I'm experimenting with different types of content on LinkedIn. I am planning to start building my business on LinkedIn.

I never really got the hang of X. LinkedIn works well for B2B, especially as I'm selling SalesTech.

LinkedIn probably has better and higher engagement but x is more fun... :)

I've tried both LinkedIn and X for a B2B, but LinkedIn works much better for me as well.

LinkedIn works great as we're focusing on B2B and for building a network!

Being into B2B and Product Management, linkedin is where my audience is at. As you say, it really depends on your target. Twitter can be great for low priced offers and it is good for buildinpublic to get feedback.

Ah, the classic LinkedIn vs Twitter debate - like choosing between coffee and tea, each has its unique flavor! Personally, I find LinkedIn perfect for my B2B dance, while Twitter adds that sprinkle of B2C fun in the mix. How about you - do you prefer a tailored suit or a more casual vibe in your social media game?

For me LinkedIn, but maybe because Twitter is not so common in general in Germany
