ABOUT SHANEE MORET:
In 2018, Shanee Moret was given an ultimatum. She was in marketing at a startup when her daughter got sick, forcing her to take time off. In response, her employer told her - come back to work or else. Shanee picked her daughter over her job (not a tough choice, really). And, instead, she started her own business. It paid off. Today, she has over 1 million LinkedIn followers, 365K LinkedIn newsletter subscribers and her business, Growth Academy where she helps business owners market themselves on LinkedIn, has taken off.

Are you sure about thumbnail dimensions - UA-cam v LinkedIn? UA-cam is 16x9, but some info, including from LinkedIn, says images - including I think thumbnails - should be 1200 PX by 1200 PX. I'm confused...

To clarify - UA-cam thumbnail is definitely 16 by 9, but LinkedIn thumbnail should be 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels? I'm not sure about LinkedIn dimensions.
