“This isn’t working. Should I quit?”
Those were my thoughts after trying to do LinkedIn alone my first few months.
I used to put up a post and get 10 likes, on a good day. And most of those were my friends and maybe my mom.
That was 2022. Now? My posts get an average of 1M+ impressions every week and over 20,000+ profile views in a 90-day period.
This visibility has allowed me to:
-Grow an email subscriber list of 10,000+
-Run a six-figure business working from anywhere
-Create and sell a masterclass making $2K per month
-Attract my dream coaching clients I get to work with 1on1
So, what changed?
4 Simple LinkedIn Hacks to 10X Your Visibility
After working 1on1 with a LinkedIn coach, I learned how LinkedIn actually works. If you’ve been trying to grow on LinkedIn for any period of time, you probably know LinkedIn doesn’t work like Facebook, Instagram, or the Tok.
I made a few simple tweaks to my daily content to grow, engage, and connect with thousands of followers.
(1)??? Viral Content
I’ll be the first one to admit I hate the word “viral.” It sounds like some kind of thing my doctor needs to fix. However, it’s an important concept when creating content.
The first thing I did was spend time researching the content on LinkedIn that gets engagement. Don’t reinvent the wheel. There’s a certain vibe here, and you want to vibe with that vibe, too.
领英推荐
Finding quotes and videos that are already going viral is your key to rapid follower growth. You can take these bits of content and adapt them as your own. Share your perspective. (Of course, you’ll always give credit to the original source, when possible).
(2)??? Engagement
Once I began engaging with other creators on LinkedIn on a daily basis, my growth skyrocketed. Building your own “engagement tribe” is a great way to grow on LinkedIn quickly.
LinkedIn likes that early engagement from others. This means the likes, comments, and reshares within the first hour.
When you go engage with other creators, most of them will come back to engage with you. That starts building your own ecosystem of engagement that tells LinkedIn your content is worth reading.
(3)??? Talk “With” Your Audience
Nobody likes to be preached at. We live in a culture that’s already telling us “5 ways to do this…” or “10 steps to achieving…” It can be exhausting.
Why not talk “with” your audience and find a way to relate like a peer, not a guru? Offer your audience a “30-second mental vacation” with a positive and uplifting post. When you do this, your audience will grow, and they’ll associate you with a positive vibe.
(4)??? Share Your Story
It’s no secret that storytelling is the best way to connect with people. As human beings, we’re wired for story. People love connecting with someone who can clearly articulate a relatable story.
There are many different types of stories you can tell on LinkedIn, from your origin story, an overcoming story, a breaking barriers story, or even a client’s success story.
Sharing your story on a weekly basis is a perfect way to connect with your followers.
We're Just Getting Started
This platform has millions of profiles; however, the creator economy here is just getting started. We’re nowhere near to being a saturated platform.
If you’re looking to grow a personal brand or solopreneur business into 2025, LinkedIn is the place to do it.
