I felt stuck. Frozen. Believing this one way that everyone else (which was NOT everyone) did to win was just not for me. I had been trying it over and over, giving up, only to begin again then constantly resetting back at zero. Showing up online for business felt like a chore and any little social fun I had on Instagram now made me feel unsuccessful and left behind. There I was a confident woman suddenly feeling inadequate every time I opened up the app. But how do you go from landing business year after year to changing your mindset right into defeat? “I suck at this!” Were the words that flew out of my mouth when the views were low or likes were few. I swear the devil himself was using this app to destroy my self-esteem. Girls half my age showing up telling me every morning they woke up to sales and how they only work 2 hours a day and crack 5K to 10K days through automation. Are they lying? Perhaps some are but others simply have this way of social selling mastered. I wanted so bad to crack the code too so I studied it like my life depended on it. I bought every course. Hired coaches. And pinned every social media pin imaginable. I watched and scrolled for hours!!! I will get clients online (and by online I mean Instagram) if it's the last thing I do. Meanwhile, on LinkedIn land, I never looked for followers like I did daily on Instagram, I had over 10K followers! What? Whoa, but I wasn’t trying to get followers! Then it all clicked. I treated LinkedIn as a serious tool - a daily tool I used. I showed up daily never studying followers or likes. It just made sense after all I landed a ton of business here so I just kept doing… And suddenly which was not sudden at all I had arrived! The difference between here and there (Instagram). On LinkedIn I never looked at followers or scrolled for influencers. This removed pressure. I showed up to connect with people in my industry and generate business. While that was straightforward, on Instagram, I was chasing followers, creating inauthentic content to follow trends, and wasting too much time scrolling. LinkedIn was never a big chore for me, nor did I overthink my outreach, content, or engagement. However, showing up on Instagram often frustrated me, causing me to leave the platform for weeks and pick it up again repeatedly. I had mastered LinkedIn by doing vs I was trying to master Instagram by watching. Mastering comes with doing NOT watching, scrolling, wishing, or comparing. My advice is simple, not every platform is created equal. Find the one that works for you. If you’d like the daily habits that made me a LinkedIn pro without the worry of followers and likes, then join me for my 3 day workshop. One hour a day I will walk you through something so simple to master that you’ll wake up one day like I did to a large and amazing network built from merely showing up! #linkedin #business #sales

To me, the talk around “Motivation” on LinkedIn is completely backwards. - That “Giving your best effort” is great. - That you should take a nap when unmotivated. - + the idea of working when you "feel motivated". But in 2 years of growing my business, I’ve never followed that advice. Here’s how I learned your motivation doesn’t matter ?? (+ my method to measuring a successful day) When I first started my business I worried I was doing things wrong. People on social media were constantly saying: ? Know yourself and how much you can get done. ? If you feel unmotivated, just take the day off. ? Your best is what you give on that day. It was confusing, and had me thinking: ”But what about the work that I need to get finished?!” So after a while, I pulled together a few of our biggest clients and asked them a simple question: ”How do you measure a successful day?” And interestingly… they all said the exact same thing. Here’s the framework they gave me: 1. Have a to-do list of important things that day. 2. Complete the to-do list. Perfect. - No listening to “How motivated” you are. - No taking the day off because you’re a little tired. - No deciding to sack it off because you don’t feel like it. A list of things to do. That will take a step forward. And help you get to where you want to be. Today, I’ve been following that advice for 2+ years. I’ve hired a full-time team of 13 and my business is growing faster than ever. So, the takeaway today is this: Don’t listen to influencers online when it comes to work. Create a list, and rain or shine tick those boxes. Do that, and I promise you’ll get where you want to go ?

Want to know what it looks like when you commit to showing up in your business? I mean REALLY commit. Not just going through the motions. Doing the things and ticking the boxes. Showing up and sharing your perspective honestly and without compromise. I've been active on LinkedIn for 3 years. And for two of those years my growth on LinkedIn was almost non existent. My follower count went from 1,100 to 1,300 and my engagement grew slightly. My inbox was drier than the Sahara desert and making connections felt like the the biggest slug. I was posting every day like a good girl. Sending connection requests and starting conversations. I was doing the things everyone told me I should. But I wasn't all in. My content was safe. Nothing controversial here. Nothing that might put anyone off. No sir. Then I decided enough was enough. Something needed to change or I was going to quit it all together. So I started, gently at first, putting out my real thoughts. I remember the feeling well of hitting publish and then running to hide somewhere. It filled me with so much anxiety. But, when nothing bad happened, I posted again. And again. And within a few weeks, I was regularly getting more engagement on my posts and my follower count was going up. So I got a bit braver, shared some more of my thoughts. Spoke with more conviction, showed more of my values and beliefs. My account grew a little more, and quicker this time. A couple of posts went a bit bananas. And then the speaking requests started to trickle in. Things reached a tipping point in April and the growth has been amazing. Profile views have regularly been hitting 500+ in a week, too many for me to keep up with. 3 months ago, I was able to review each one, now I barely look at them. I'm not sharing this to brag, I'm sharing this as a very real example of what natural growth looks like. It isn't overnight. One post won't push you into the stratosphere. But it WILL happen. And quicker than you think. These are results from real clients I'm working with right now. ?? In a week you could double your current engagement. In a month you could have gained 200 new followers. In 3 months, you could 10X your current engagement. Only if you're willing to commit to going all in. Stop playing around the edges and hoping people will find you. They won't. You have to invest in your own presence and give people a reason to pick you, out of the millions of other people on here, to follow. Don't be afraid of the time it might take, that time will pass anyway. You can either spend it building or standing still. I can help you. You just need to ask yourself how badly do you want it?

5 STEPS TO BE SEEN ON LINKEDIN (NUMBER 4 IS VERY IMPORTANT!) I KNOW YOU WILL DISAGREE WITH THEM Before I share these steps, let us make a deal. Click the blue button right now Faith Ariremako Anuoluwapo to connect with me Trust me, you will want to keep seeing posts like this on your feed. Done? Great, let us get started. Last year, I felt invisible on LinkedIn. I would post something I thought was meaningful, and… silence. No likes, no comments, no shares. It felt like no one even knew I was here especially when i was just hopping in and out of the app, One of the days, I was provoked . But then I realized something important. Visibility on LinkedIn is not luck; it is strategy. I started paying attention to what worked for others and testing those strategies myself. Slowly, things began to change. My posts reached more people, sparked conversations, and opened up new opportunities. These are My 5 simple steps that helped me be seen on LinkedIn and ofcourse grow my followers with my inconsistencies 1. Speak to people, not to robots People want real connections, not robotic updates. Share stories, experiences, and lessons that others can relate to. Be authentic and let your personality shine through your words. 2. Grab attention with your first line Your first line is like an open door. If it is boring, people will keep scrolling. Use a question, a bold statement, or something unexpected to catch their interest immediately. 3. Interact with others Posting is not enough. Spend time liking, commenting, and sharing other people’s posts. When you give genuine engagement, it often comes back to you. 4. Stay consistent This step is a game-changer. Do not disappear after posting once in a while. Decide how often you can post—once a week, twice a week—and stick to it. People start paying attention to those who show up regularly. 5. Use the right hashtags Hashtags help your posts reach the right audience. Choose three to five hashtags that match your topic. For example, if you are talking about growth, use #GrowthMindset or #LeadershipTips. Make sure your hashtags are clear and specific. These steps helped me turn things around, and I believe they can help you too. Which of these steps do you think is most challenging? Tell me in the comments, and let us figure it out together. Also, if we are not connected yet, now is the perfect time to click connect. I cannot wait to see what you will share after reading this! #LinkedInTips #VisibilityOnLinkedIn #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalConnections #ConsistencyIsKey

I did another LinkedIn experiment this month. Dedicated to growing my engagement. And the result? Skyrocketed real numbers. Here's how I made it happen in September: 1. Responding to every single comment within 24 hours. I don't like leaving anyone unanswered, much less my 1st type connections. Real connection builds real loyalty. 2. Engaging in real-time with posts on my feed. No fancy strategy, no calculated moves = just genuine interaction with content that resonated with me. 3. Sending personalized connection requests. Not a single copy-paste. I took the time to write every message, and it made all the difference. 4. Following up with my connections personally. Even when my inbox got crazy, I made sure to reply to as many messages as possible. Every conversation matters. 5. Proactive networking sessions. I reached out to profiles that inspired me, sharing value without expecting anything in return. 6. Commenting on trending posts in my niche. This helped me stay relevant and get noticed by people outside my network. 7. Posting consistently. Even when I felt drained, kept me top of mind for my audience everyday. Passion mode 24/7. 8. Ignoring vanity metrics. Focused on building genuine relationships, not just chasing likes. 9. Sharing more personal, relaxed content on weekends. Humanizing my brand with photos and stories helped build deeper connections. 10. Tracking what worked and doubling down. Analytics were my best friend, and I quickly adjusted when something wasn’t hitting. And the results? Consistent engagement, real conversations, and stronger relationships with you 100% organic. If you want to win on LinkedIn with your personal brand, you have to be authentic and real. Did you do any experiments this month on LinkedIn? What would you like to test? Leave me your comment below with your opinion + like if you liked my results. Happy Friday to everyone.?? ____________________??? PS: Testing new strategies is key on LinkedIn. Don’t be afraid to mix things up and find what truly works for you. ? Experimenting isn’t optional = it’s essential. - Never stop engaging. - Test everything. - Be real. - Adapt. ??The results of this experiment I will post below in the comments.

If I were starting LinkedIn from scratch now, here’s what I’d do differently: 1. Engage more than I post ? I’d still post 5x a week, but daily engagement would be my priority. Growth starts in the comments. 2. Prioritize quantity at the start ? Yes, quality matters, but in the early days, quantity helps you figure out what works. Post, learn, refine, repeat. 3. Define my values upfront ? Knowing your values makes it easier to show up authentically. Plus, it’s a cheat code for consistency. 4. Stop chasing 300 comments a day ? Sure, it helped my growth, but the burnout wasn’t worth it. Focus on smart engagement, not overdoing it. 5. Connect with active commenters ? Those who engage in others’ posts are your goldmine. Don’t just post and ghost—build connections. 6. Ditch Social Saturday parties ? Once I hit 1,500 followers, I avoided these. They fill your network with random people, not your target audience. 7. Lean into text posts ? Sometimes I get tired of seeing my face in my posts?? 8. Position around my ICP earlier ? Building an audience is great, but doing it without targeting your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) is a missed opportunity. I’m repositioning now. PS:Focus on engagement, posting in a sustainable cadence, and staying true to your goals. Burnout and aimless strategies aren’t the flex you think they are. ??What new stuff did you learn from this? ??Repost to help someone learn.

Posting on social media does NOT come naturally to me. (And don’t even get me started on taking selfies…) I’ve never been someone who shared much personal stuff online. Ever.? Even on Facebook and Instagram, I only post the occasional vacation picture. But earlier this year, I decided it was time to show up more regularly on LinkedIn. Why? For two big reasons: 1?? I decided to go all-in on my marketing consulting business. If I wanted my ideal clients to hire me, then they needed to know who I am 2?? I constantly encourage my clients to market on social media. It felt a little hypocritical not to walk the talk. If I tell them to do it, I should do it too. At first, I was terrified about what others might think of my wobbly attempts. I braced myself for nasty comments or, worse, being completely ignored. But within just a few months, I realized something: Most people here are genuinely interested in connecting, sharing ideas and opinions, and learning from others. Instead of crickets or negativity, I’ve reconnected with old business acquaintances and made even more new connections. So here I am, showing up on LinkedIn, even though it doesn’t come naturally. But the best part? I am now able to:? → Help my clients work through their doubts about promoting on social media? → Reassure them that what they post doesn’t have to be perfect to get results → Normalize how uncomfortable and weird it feels at first The confidence comes with doing and seeing the results. And if I can get results on social media by sharing regularly, so can you. What's something that felt WAY out of your comfort zone that you pushed yourself to do anyway? #Marketing #SocialMedia #B2B #B2BMarketing #SocialMediaMarketing

Bad news! LinkedIn post reach is down by more than 50%:? When comparing November 2022 to November 2024:?? - Post reach is down by more than 50%.?? - Follower growth? Also in the gutter.? It’s been rough, but I wanted to see if there’s a way to turn things around. So, I ran an experiment—and here’s what happened.? ?????? ?????????? ? I took an old post from 30 days ago that performed really badly. We’re talking 183 impressions bad (?????? ???? ???? ?????? ????????????????) Then, I reposted the same content a few days ago with one key difference: I asked for help.? ???????? ??????????????? ? I reached out to some LinkedIn friends and made two simple requests:? ? 1. Like the post.?? 2. Leave a comment (10+ words and include a question).? They came through big time.? ?????? ?????????????? The original post got 183 impressions.? The new post? ?????? ?????????????????????? That’s a 3.45x increase in reach, all from a little engagement boost.? ?????? ???????? ???????? ????????????? 1. The original post was awful (performance-wise).?? 2. It was posted during the notoriously slow Christmas period.?? 3. If this can boost a bad post, imagine the one that’s actually good!? Engagement is still the name of the game on LinkedIn. Strategic comments, meaningful likes, and thoughtful replies can make all the difference.? Would you try this? Or do you have other tactics to beat the algorithm? Let’s compare notes!? --- Found this useful? ?? Share it around!

The illusion of social media and its role in business success. Social media gives a grand illusion of us all being united by infinite connectedness. This impression plants the idea that being on social must lead to landing clients. But most people are going through the social media motions and not actually doing what creates clients. The main currency that fuels social media platforms? Our life force energy. To illustrate this, you will see LinkedIn influencers & coaches saying: > Your posts are more likely to be shown to people you DM. > Spend time in the comment sections 30 min before and after you post, then your posts will get boosted by the algo. > Post at least 1x per day (some platforms recommend up to 4x a day). Plus, you have to build your targeted connection lists & send connection requests. Between the connection requests, content creation, DMs and commenting you are looking at 10+ hours a week. Not to forget the time lost when emotionally triggered by something you see online. So, let’s go back to the premise: social media connects you with others. Of those 10+ hours spent per week, how many real connections have been made? And over the course of 40+ hours a month spent on social media, how far is it progressing your business? These are some questions I had to answer for myself. When I evaluated how much time social media was taking, I realized how tired I felt after 10 months of posting weekly, up to 7 days a week. This realization came after I left all other platforms too. Now, I have made some real & genuine relationships on LinkedIn. I landed a paid sales training opportunity. And my profile helped me to land an ultra-high ticket consulting deal. Those opportunities didn’t come from my following “the rules” of posting a certain # times a week. If my life force is the price, it's not one I'm willing to pay any longer. With a 48 hr post lifespan (at best), putting effort into content assets that compound over time is a better use of effort. In this new season, for me posting 3x a week is perfect. I’m actually blown away by how much time and mental freedom opened from this one shift. And shocking realizations that have come with this shift. I couldn’t see it when I was still in the thick of it. To wrap it up: I invite you to evaluate the amount of time you are spending on social media each week. Check-in to see if it’s yielding the dividends you thought were promised. If it's not, come up with a plan that works for you in a sustainable and inspiring way. ********************************* Did you find this helpful? Please repost ??
