Have any of these thoughts ever crept into your head? If so, you're not alone because I hear them every single day from clients. Here's how to overcome the most common barriers that keep you on the sidelines of LinkedIn.
?? Instead of thinking: "I’m going to post something on LinkedIn one day."
??Make a post today and tell us three things about yourself. Something about your career, a hobby, passion, interest, whatever. Don’t overthink it.
?? Instead of thinking: "I wish so and so would send me a connection request."
??Send the damn request yourself. Don’t overthink it.
?? Instead of thinking: "I’m not an expert, so I have nothing to post on LinkedIn."
??Make a post about one thing you’ve learned in your career that would be helpful for someone to know. Don’t overthink it.
?? Instead of thinking: "I'll never have 10,000 followers."
??Stop comparing yourself to others. Be proactive and send 5-10 connection requests every day. Send them to people you'd like to learn from or do business with. We all start with zero followers on this platform. Don't overthink it.
?? Instead of thinking: "I’m going to copy/paste my usual sales pitch in his DMs in hopes he’ll book a call."

??Send a short Loom video or voice memo and thank him for connecting. Offer to be a resource in his network. Don't pitch slap and don’t over think it.
?? Instead of thinking: "LinkedIn is just a place to find a job."
??Wake up and realize that LinkedIn is a social network, so get social! If you do nothing else today, leave a comment on 3-4 posts in your newsfeed. It will benefit you in ways you can't imagine. Don't overthink it.
?? Instead of thinking: "I have no idea how to improve my LinkedIn profile."

Speak Truth to Power
2 年I can't say whether I would have or want ten thousand followers. Posting costs nothing and there is nothing to lose. Not many will see it. Nobody will know who you are if you don't post and/or comment.
