?? Is your engagement stalled on LinkedIn? Here’s why… The top three reasons we see engagement stalled on LinkedIn: Your first sentence isn’t on point enough and people scroll past. No photo, or stock photo (LinkedIn favors posts with photos and humans favor photos of you.) You’re not engaging with others’ posts in a meaningful way. ?? Your first sentence has one second to catch people’s attention before they scroll past. Litmus test: Would YOU stick around to read your first sentence? It’s time to get brutally honest with yourself. How to be on point? Clarity, succinctness, curiosity. Be clear. Be quick. Pique curiosity. ?? Choose a personal photo over a stock photo every time. A professional photo shoot is worth it, although in today’s LinkedIn, selfies and work-appropriate snapshots work very well too. ?? It’s not all about you. In order to get you have to give. Spend quality time on other people’s posts. Consider your comments to be just as valuable as your own posts. Give a little love and people will reciprocate. Do you have any tips you'd like to share?

Hey everyone, Joey here again! ?? As I have started to find my footing here more at Root + River, I wanted to share some other lessons I have learned over the past week. 1?? A strong mission is simple, true, and unexpected?and?sets a strong root in the ground to allow you to build strong and genuine connections for your brand or company. 2?? It is very admirable for companies and brands to stay true to those values even when it is easier not to. People will take notice when you stay true to who you are and what you believe in.
