When I jump into something new, different or confusing (like LinkedIn), Stop leaving us in the darkI often wonder how other people are using it and how can it help me improve myself or my business. And that's why I launched my LinkedIn User Survey way back in 2009.

Over the past seven years, I have shared with you, my treasured audience, answers to questions like these (2015 results are in red):
.

  • What percent of the LinkedIn users are paying for a premium account? (18%)
    .
  • How many hours per week are people spending on LinkedIn? (51% spend 0-2 hours per week)
    .
  • How many LinkedIn groups do people belong to? (37% are in 1-9 groups)
    .
  • What is the top rated feature on LinkedIn? (Who's Viewed Your Profile)
    .
  • What are people saying LinkedIn has helped them with? (77% said "Research people and companies")

Over 1,400 people shared their opinions with me last year. If you'd like to see the complete results, click here.
