Leaving 100 Comments a Day Is a Waste of Time for Most People on LinkedIn.

Leaving 100 Comments a Day Is a Waste of Time for Most People on LinkedIn.

No matter what LinkedIn influencers are telling you, the average business owner trying to build their LinkedIn presence does not have the time or bandwidth to leave 100+ comments on LinkedIn posts every day.

It's no secret LinkedIn's algorithm loves conversations. If you're saying things people are willing to read, reply to, share, and all that jazz you'll get more awareness, more profile views, more followers.

LinkedIn influencers talk about how they experience massive growth by through commenting. They're not wrong. I've seen it with my content and my clients' content.

The more comments you give, the more articles you collaborate on, the more engagement your posts receive.

But who on earth has the time, bandwidth or desire to leave 3 comments on 25 different posts every day?

Probably not you, right?

Still, I bet you could spare 10 to 15 minutes while waiting in line or watching Netflix to leave 2 to 3 comments a day.

3 comments are manageable. You leave 2 to 3 comments without a strategy just by scrolling. So, let's take what already comes naturally and add intention.

I'm excited to share with you a rinse-and-repeat commenting formula that can revolutionize your LinkedIn engagement strategy. This is not an overnight race to massive growth. It's a slow but steady system you can commit to on your worst day.

The Formula

10 Minutes or Less

If you have just 10 minutes a day to spare, you can implement this simple yet effective strategy to enhance your visibility, connect with the right audience, and showcase your expertise. Let's dive into the formula:

  • Day 1: Start by engaging with your recent connections or followers. Comment thoughtfully on 2 to 3 peoples' of recent posts. It also helps you establish rapport and strengthen your network.
  • Day 2: Focus on engaging with frequent engagers in your network. Comment on 2 to 3 different people's posts to foster relationships and encourage reciprocity.
  • Day 3: Engage with industry leaders or influencers in your niche. By commenting on their posts, you not only get noticed by them, but also position yourself as a knowledgeable professional in your field.
  • Day 4: Direct your attention to your ideal clients. Commenting on their posts gets you on their radar and demonstrates your genuine interest in their work. Plus, it opens the door for potential collaborations or partnerships.
  • Day 5: Show appreciation to your past clients by engaging with their posts. In turn, this helps maintain a positive relationship that could bear fruit down the line.

10 or More Minutes

But why stop at 10 minutes? If you have an additional 10 minutes to spare, here's how you can take your engagement to the next level:

Day 1 (extra): Leave thoughtful comments on posts from 2 to 3 large accounts in your industry. It exposes you to a wider audience and positions you as a thought leader in your niche.

Day 2 (extra): Collaborate on articles within your area of expertise. Contributing to articles increases your profile views by up to 4x. Plus, it showcases your knowledge while expanding your reach as your content is shared with a broader audience.

Day 3 (extra): Identify ideal clients in the comments section of relevant posts and engage with them directly. Liking or commenting on their posts shows your genuine interest and increases the likelihood of building meaningful connections.

Day 4 (extra): Continue engaging with 2 to 3 large accounts by leaving thoughtful comments on their posts. Consistent engagement with influencers can lead to valuable opportunities for collaboration or mentorship.

Day 5 (extra): Keep the momentum going by collaborating on more articles in your field. Sharing your expertise through articles establishes you as an authority in your industry and attracts new connections and clients.

By following this formula, you can enhance your visibility, connect with the right people, and establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry. Strategic commenting is more than just leaving generic remarks; it's about adding value to conversations and fostering meaningful interactions within your professional network.

3 Tips to Maximize the Impact of Your Comments

  1. Be Genuine: Authenticity is key. Share insights, ask questions, and contribute meaningfully to the conversation.
  2. Avoid Generic Comments: Steer clear of generic phrases like “great post” or “thanks for sharing.” Instead, provide specific feedback or additional information. When in doubt, reply to someone else's comment.
  3. Build Relationships: Use commenting as an opportunity to connect with others authentically. Engage with their content, show genuine interest, and nurture relationships over time.

Remember, consistency is key. Make commenting a regular part of your LinkedIn routine, and watch as your engagement and connections flourish.

So, why wait? Start implementing this formula today and unlock the full potential of your LinkedIn presence.
