10 Steps in getting to 10K Followers

10 Steps in getting to 10K Followers

If I had to speed run getting to 10k followers, here’s exactly what I would do.


Hitting 10K followers on LinkedIn isn’t about luck

? It’s about strategy,

? consistency,

? And engagement.


If I had to do it all over again 0-10k, here’s exactly how I’d do it:

?

??. ???????????????? ???? ?????????????? ?????? ?????????????? ??????????????????????

Your profile is your landing page—make it count.

??Headline: Clear, benefit-driven, and keyword-rich.

??Banner: A visual story that reinforces your brand.

??About Section: Client-centric, with a strong hook and a call to action.

??Featured Section: Highlight wins, testimonials, or lead magnets.

?

??. ???????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ????????-?????????? ??????????????

The fastest way to grow? Become a content machine.

???Types of content to post:

  • Authority-building posts (position yourself as an expert)
  • Engaging personal stories (authenticity builds trust)
  • Actionable insights (educate your audience)


???Posting frequency: At least 5x per week for rapid growth (I know that sounds hard)

How to do this:

  • Batch create content that’s inspired from the topics of other posts.
  • Schedule every post a week in advance (I use Buffer (*It’s free)).

?

??. ???????????? ???????????????????????? ?????????? ???????????? ??????

The LinkedIn algorithm rewards engagement. So, be present!

? 20-minute engagement sprint:

?? Comment on 10+ posts from your niche.

?? Reply to comments on your posts.

(This makes your audience felt seen AND heard)

?? DM at least 1 new person everyday to build relationships.

?

??. ???????????????? ???????????????? ???? ???????? ????????????????

Growth hack: Your comments on viral posts can attract followers.

???How?

  1. Be one of the first 5-10 comments on big creators’ posts.
  2. Write something insightful (not just “great post”).
  3. Engage with replies to your comment.

???How to Rank Higher in the “Relevant” Sort of comments

LinkedIn prioritizes comments that spark engagement.

Here’s what matters:

???Replies from the author – If they respond, LinkedIn sees your comment as valuable.

???Replies from others – The more discussion, the better.

???Likes on your comment – Every like signals relevance.

? This all leads to more eyes on your profile and eventually your content.

?

??. ?????????????? ???????????????? ?????? ????????????????

Success leaves clues. Study what’s working.

?? Look for patterns in: ?? Post structure (hooks, storytelling, formatting) ?? Engagement strategies ?? The type of content that resonates

???Pro tip: Take inspiration, but add your unique spin.

I am learning how to share more as I realised that if I do cool stuff and keep it to myself, nobody is going to know. Need to overcome that feeling, that I can only post when I have years of experience and I am a master of particular skill - I have found others' posts about their journeys very interesting and engaging. Finally tsking a plunge! Dustin Hauer
