The One Month Beginner LinkedIn Challenge: How to Get Started

Are you ready for a challenge?

Linkedin is the #1 space for professionals to start building their brand right now. But if you want to stand out, you've got to start now. Why? Out of 600,000,000 users on Linkedin, only 1% of LinkedIn users post weekly.

Yep, 1%. By default, if you begin posting 1x/week, you'll stand out above 99% of other users. But here's the catch- that 1% is growing... fast. Linkedin is in a place similar to Facebook in 2010, or Instagram in 2013. It's ripe for newbies to secure a voice and establish an audience before the content gets too saturated.

Starting your professional brand from scratch can seem daunting at first, but the trick is simply getting your feet wet, feeling the temp, and then diving in with confidence, so I put together a step-by-step guide for you to build some momentum. Ready to begin?

Step one: Accept the challenge. ??

Step two: Spend 30 minutes completing Week 1. Easy enough? Complete Week 2.

The LinkedIn Challenge was developed to help busy and talented professionals start building a presence and their own professional brand on LinkedIn. A lot of recent articles have been posted around “Why Professional Branding is Important” or “5 Ways to Improve Engagement.” But I’ve yet to see an article mapping out step-by-step how to get started when you have no idea where to begin.

The 1 Month Beginner LinkedIn Challenge breaks down each week into what you should post, how to follow, and how to enter your industry’s conversation. 

This “challenge” is the step-by-step guide you’ve been looking for. You’ll start small in Week 1, spending about 30 minutes doing things you should be doing every week already. Week 2, 3, and 4 will build on these activities that will in turn become weekly habits and behaviors that will positively affect your reach and engagement on LinkedIn--consequently, building your voice and brand over time.

The amazing thing is, you don’t have to just take my word for it. Do it and see the impact it will have. ??
