Is LinkedIn Working for You?

What am I doing wrong? I am constantly reaching out and making new connections on LinkedIn.? I seek people who I feel, from their profiles, might be interesting and knowledgeable, have posted great content, or hold a position I would like to know more about.

I have almost 4,000 connections, have my profile reviewed often, and have a good number of post views each week, with a newsletter of 500 subscribers. I try to reach out and engage each new connection with a message within about a week. But here are my challenges:

1.????? I get a small percentage of responses to these initial messages, even s I ask specific questions and try other methods to engage with them.

2.????? Of those from whom I receive an initial response, few continue any level of dialogue beyond a couple weeks.

3.????? I receive few comments, shares, or likes from my articles, but my subscriber numbers continue to grow.

4.????? I post almost daily and have been consistent over the past 2 years.

5.????? I have tried different methods such as flipbooks, carousels, and lengths without much change.

6.????? I comment on numerous posts, especially on those from my first level connections. I recognize many birthdays and anniversaries, usually with personal messages.

I see many others posting with numerous likes, comments, or even shares and cannot figure out what they are doing differently.? My focus has been on pursuing TRUTH, a subject that impacts everyone.

What is your advice? What must I do to build an audience, get more responses, and help more people? ?
