A routine update: 

You can post stories about your daily routine so your network can get a sense of what really goes into your life that keeps you professionally ahead. You can also share a couple of pieces of advice on how to organize your personal and professional chores so as to keep a balance between work and personal life.

This adds another great perspective to your content bucket and a wide set of varied audiences.

Ask me anything: 

Probably the best way to interact with your followers and admirers. LinkedIn Stories allows you to access one of its features ‘AMA- Ask Me Anything’ which lets your followers ask you a question regarding productivity tips, what book to read next, industry trends, career advice or anything relevant and you'll be able to answer these questions by personally addressing the person making a query through another set of stories.

Share your ‘New Normal’: 

With many people still coping with the new ‘work from home culture, it is the time when your Stories provides a place or solace to quickly share an insight of your in-the-moment feelings about working from home, highlight productivity hacks and show off your new colleagues that can be your dogs, kids, or roommates.

Who doesn’t want to celebrate success or promotions? LinkedIn Stories can be a great way to celebrate milestones in your career or welcome a new coworker to the team.
