Post of LinkedIn five times a week, it will help in visibility.
(True and not so true). Everyone talks about posting on LinkedIn.
There is an easier and faster way to grow on LinkedIn.
Yes, it’s right under your nose.
It’s called commenting – and it’s one of the most underutilized strategies for LinkedIn growth.
Why Commenting Matters More Than Ever
LinkedIn recently introduced comment impressions – a new feature that lets you see how many people have viewed your comments.
This means your comments are getting more visibility than you think.
Every time you comment, you are in front of hundreds or even thousands of professionals in your industry.
Think about it. A single well-placed comment can:
Yet, most people ignore this strategy. Instead, they spend hours trying to write the perfect post, while missing out on a golden opportunity to engage with an existing audience.
The Wrong Way to Comment
If you’re commenting just for the sake of it, you’re wasting your time.
Do not Do:
? “Great post!” (Who cares?)
? “Totally agree!” (No value, no visibility.)
? “Thanks for sharing!” (Zero impact.)
These comments don’t add value, don’t spark conversations, and don’t make people remember you.
The Right Way to Comment (A Simple Formula)
Want to make your comments work for you? Follow this three-step formula:
1?. Be early – Comment early on targeted posts.
2?. Add insight – Share a unique perspective, a quick story, or a key takeaway.
3?. Engage back – If someone replies to your comment, continue the conversation.
The Pro Tip: Use your Comments with best impressions into a Post

Yes: Find the comment that has received the most impressions. Then, expand on that idea and turn it into a post.
Why does this work?

17 小时前Good insight. HAMMAD SIDDIQUI We often underrate commenting. As far i have observed most of us reach out to people from comments on our targeted people or Mentors. Like we are impressed by their thoughts or story. And instantly follow up on their profiles yo build a strong connection. I also followed many outstanding people by reading their comments.
