# Knowasiak vs LinkedIn

LinkedIn is built for careers, hiring and professional networking. Knowasiak is built for one thing: helping customers, search engines and AI assistants find your business. Many owners use both.

## In short

Use LinkedIn to hire, to find work and to reach professionals you know or can name. Use Knowasiak to publish pages about your business that anyone can read without an account, that search engines and AI assistants read in full, and that show you how many people found them. LinkedIn is far bigger. Knowasiak is built for the moment a stranger looks for what you sell.

## Where Knowasiak is different

### Strangers can read you
A customer who finds your post on Google reads all of it, with no sign-up box in the way.

### Made to be found
Posts search engines may list go to Bing and others within minutes. Every page has a Markdown copy for AI readers.

### The business comes first
Your profile carries your website, your category and a verified badge, not a career history.

### New posts get readers
Each new post is shown to members who follow its topic, even if you have no followers yet.

## When LinkedIn is the better choice

- **You are hiring, or looking for work.** Knowasiak has no jobs.
- **Your buyers are people you can name.** If you sell to managers at known companies, LinkedIn lets you find and message them.
- **Your career is the product.** Work history, endorsements and recommendations live on LinkedIn.
- **You want the biggest professional audience.** LinkedIn has far more members than Knowasiak.

## Using both

Post on LinkedIn for the people who already know you. Publish the full answer on Knowasiak, in your own words, so people searching can find it. Link each to the other, and check your dashboard to see which one sends people to your website.

## Questions

### Is Knowasiak a LinkedIn alternative?
For being found as a business, yes. For hiring, job hunting and career networking, no. LinkedIn does those, and Knowasiak doesn't try to.

### Should I stop posting on LinkedIn?
Not if it works for you. LinkedIn reaches the people you know and their contacts. Knowasiak reaches people who don't know you yet and are searching. Many owners use both.

### Can I post the same thing on both?
You can, but rewriting it for each place works better. Search engines rarely show a page that only repeats another one. On LinkedIn, write for people who know you; on Knowasiak, answer the question a stranger would search for.

### Can I share my Knowasiak posts on LinkedIn?
Yes. Every post has its own address, so you can share it on LinkedIn, in messages or anywhere else.

### Is Knowasiak free like LinkedIn?
Yes. Your profile, posts, messages and dashboard are free. Pro costs $9.49 a month and adds full reader insights and who viewed your profile.
