21 ways to help plan and create your LinkedIn Content

Are you looking to elevate your LinkedIn presence and drive meaningful engagement?

I don't know about you, but sometimes all I want is for someone else to give me steps to follow. So I created a mini book with 21 steps for you - you can get a copy of it below with all the lovely graphics or you can read this. Or both!

Identify Your Target Audience

Understanding who your ideal clients are is the first step. Consider their industry, job titles, pain points, and goals to tailor your content effectively.

Set Clear Objectives

Define what you want to achieve with your LinkedIn content. Whether it's brand awareness, lead generation, or establishing thought leadership, having clear objectives is crucial.

Conduct a Content Audit

Review your existing content to identify what has worked well and what hasn't. Look for patterns in engagement and feedback to refine your strategy.

Research Industry Trends

Stay informed about the latest trends in your industry to ensure your content is relevant and up-to-date. This helps position you as a knowledgeable and forward-thinking professional.

Define Your Unique Value Proposition (UVP)

Clearly articulate what makes your business, coaching, or consulting services unique and valuable to your target audience. Your UVP should set you apart from the competition.

Create a Content Calendar

Plan your content in advance by creating a monthly or quarterly content calendar. This ensures consistent engagement and helps you stay organized.

Develop a Content Strategy

Outline the types of content you will create, such as articles, videos, and infographics, and the key messages you want to convey. A well-defined strategy keeps your content focused and aligned with your goals.

Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile

Ensure your LinkedIn profile is complete and professional. Use a high-quality photo, a compelling headline, and a detailed summary to make a strong first impression.

Craft Engaging Headlines

Write attention-grabbing headlines that clearly communicate the value of your content and encourage clicks. A great headline can make all the difference in attracting readers.

Focus on Quality Over Quantity

Prioritize creating high-quality, valuable content over posting frequently. Ensure each piece of content offers real value to your audience, fostering trust and credibility.

Incorporate Visual Elements

Use images, infographics, and videos to make your content more engaging and visually appealing. Visual elements can increase engagement and retention. You know, I LOVE video on LinkedIn for our clients.

Leverage LinkedIn's Publishing Platform

Use LinkedIn’s native publishing tools to share long-form content and articles directly on your profile (like this very newsletter). This helps increase your visibility and reach.

Use your Company Page

Don't forget about your Company Page - give yourself double the chance of being found by your ideal client and leverage your team and their networks here on LinkedIn

Ensure your LinkedIn Company Page is fully optimized and active. Post regular updates and engage with your followers to build a strong company presence.

Engage with Your Audience

Respond to comments and messages promptly. Engage with your audience by asking questions and encouraging discussions to build relationships and trust.

Promote Your Content

Share your content across other social media platforms and through email newsletters to maximize visibility. Cross-promotion helps reach a larger audience.

Analyse Performance Metrics

Regularly review LinkedIn analytics to assess the performance of your content. Track metrics like views, likes, comments, and shares to understand what resonates with your audience.

Refine Your Strategy Based on Feedback

Use insights from analytics and audience feedback to refine your content strategy and improve future posts. Check your post analytics on both your personal and Company page profiles.

Stay Consistent

Maintain a consistent posting schedule to keep your audience engaged and ensure your presence on LinkedIn. Consistency helps build trust and recognition. I work with a small number of individuals coaching and supporting their own content marketing on LinkedIn - if you are interested, book a call and write 'coaching' in the comments here

Invest in LinkedIn Learning (or any form of learning)

Take advantage of LinkedIn Learning courses to continually improve your content creation skills and stay updated on best practices. I think the LinkedIn Learning content is top quality, but you can also find other resources via podcast, YouTube and of course, here on the LinkedIn newsfeed. LinkedIn Learning is a premium offer (also available freely in US libraries last time I checked).

Celebrate and Share Successes

Share milestones, testimonials, and success stories to build credibility and showcase the impact of your work. Highlighting successes can attract new clients and opportunities. Plus the LinkedIn network tend to be positive and love a good news story!

Checking who has read to the end... today I hit the big 5-0 again... not my age... my YouTube numbers. Happy Days. I am off to the beach to celebrate ??
