You post on LinkedIn. You refresh the post and only 1 person likes it. The person who liked it is you because you are your biggest fan. You ask your partner to like it. You are up 2 likes. Two minutes later you refresh your post. There’s another person who likes it. It’s your LinkedIn best friend who likes all your posts no matter how cringy it is. You're at 4 likes. Will your post go viral? You keep refreshing, waiting..." Seven minutes later you look back (in case the algorithm decides to work). You’re still at 4 likes. You think, “I’m going to take this post down.” You leave it there anyways. You get a total of 7 likes at the end of the day. You learn from your post, dust yourself off, and think of your next post. What matters the most is you took action. New to posting? Join me and let's learn together.

From 0 to 7.4k impressions in 14 days. I know it's not very much, but it's big for me. LinkedIn has over 1 billion users. It’s algorithm processes billions of posts every day. But very few people understand how it’s algorithm works: This is what makes LinkedIn special: 1. It’s not meant for Entertainment. 2. It prevents content from going viral. So, don’t expect to get fame on LinkedIn with 1 post. Here, people follow you not to see the life you don’t actually have. They are here to see your skills and expertise. Here are some hacks I use to grow my LinkedIn community. → Find the right audience. → Engage daily with your audience → Send connections to 10 people a day. → Share your personal story & knowledge. → Post consistently on a weekly basis(3-5). → Support other's journeys ( comment & ❤️). ♻️ Repost if you found this helpful. Bonus Hack: Try to engage with other creators for 30 min before posting. PS: What is your LinkedIn top tip?

Here are the 3 absolute worst things you can do on LinkedIn. 1. Sell in your content. Everyone hates people who do this. Not only that, but these kinds of posts are terrible for the algorithm. Don't sell publicly, sell privately. 2. Don't engage with anyone. It's called social media because it's meant to be interactive. So comment on other people's posts. Reply to comments on yours. Just interact with people! 3. Have the wrong audience. If you're only connected to your colleagues, and friends, those aren't your potential clients. So make sure you build an audience of people who will buy from you. LinkedIn can be a really powerful tool for building your personal brand. But if you're not using it right, you're going to be pretty disappointed with the results.

𝗜𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 Here is the main culprit.. “You” and Your post and ghost approach LinkedIn is less about posting more about engaging Even though I don't have a huge following on LinkedIn (less than 2500 followers). I make sure to interact with them as much as I can. I never just post something and disappear. Instead, I take the time to like and reply to every comment on my posts. It's like I carefully curate my content and make sure to engage with my audience. Building those relationships is important to me, and I believe it helps create a strong community. I have a sneaky tip to share with you! 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗰𝗸…. Before you share any content on LinkedIn, It's a great idea to head over to your news feed and drop comments on 5-10 different posts. Once you've done that. You can go ahead and publish your own post And then return to the news feed to comment on a few more posts. Why???? Because by following this approach, it lets the LinkedIn algorithm know that you're actively engaged on the platform, Which can boost the chances of your content being promoted to other active users. This, in turn, leads to increased visibility and engagement for your posts. It's a smart and simple strategy but I believe it adds value to the LinkedIn community. What about you? How do you curate your LinkedIn content?

3 bad hooks that surely fail your posts. And how to fix them. 1- Consistency is so important. You can't win on LinkedIn without this. ❎ (Don't give away the secret. People won't click on see more.) Instead write: Lack of this factor can destroy all your LinkedIn efforts.☑️ 2- Here's how to get 5000 followers in 2 weeks. ❎ (Don't make unrealistic promises. People sense it already.) Instead write: Here's how to get 50 followers per day. ☑️ 3- I think this will help you close leads. ❎ (If you won't be sure and confident, people won't trust you.) Instead write: 3 sure ways to close leads if you implement them precisely. ☑️ Remember! Your hook can make or break your post. Give people a reason to click on See More. Make a promise and then deliver it in the post. Social media is all about winning people's trust. P.S. What is the worst hook you've ever seen? 

If you've been throwing posts up whenever and wondering why your LinkedIn isn't popping, here's the deal: You're not giving people what they crave. Instead, give valuable tips, not just more noise. Here's a plan to make waves without living on LinkedIn: Find your vibe, stick to it. Drop wisdom, not just news. Chat up followers, make friends. Smart hashtags get you seen. Plan posts, keep it steady. So, here's the thing: When you really dial into what you're all about and start sharing stuff that actually helps people, that's when the magic happens. Getting into conversations and using those sneaky hashtags means more peeps see your stuff. And with a bit of planning, you're always around without actually needing to be glued to your screen. This way, you're not just building a brand; you're making real connections and those leads? They'll start rolling in. Keep at it, and you'll see your world grow.

Here’s how I got 10k LinkedIn followers in a month. ------- I didn’t. There’s no shortcut. You’ve got to: • Show up • Be consistent • Build credibility • Make useful content • Keep conversations alive Building the right community takes time and effort. Anyone telling you otherwise is just trying to make a quick buck off your back. Keep going. Persistently. One good connection at a time. 🙌🏼 You will win in the end. 🏆 ------ PS. Even the most popular growth hacks are no shortcuts. LinkedIn is a long-term commitment.

I've been posting on LinkedIn for 1 year now. Many accounts that were around when I first started have disappeared or gone inactive. Those creators either simply gave up growing on the platform or didn't believe they had any stories left to share. Some days you might feel stagnant or uninspired. But keep showing up. You never know who has been stalking your content, about to slide into your DMs. It doesn't matter if your latest post only got 200 views. What if those 200 people were all obsessed with your offers? What if they all had working with you on their vision board? Instead of assuming that no one wants to hire you, assume that your dream clients are hovering over that "message" button right now. They're waiting for the right piece of content to give them that final push. Keep posting. Don't give up. Stuck on LinkedIn?
