If you follow me on LinkedIn, you'll see me posting at least a few times per week. Life got busy, though, and I decided to take a short hiatus from posting.
But I was still active on the platform and creating content. How?
I upped my comment game.
?? Tip of the Day
Comments are just as important as the posts you create. Why?
? Grow your following: Comments are a key part to building your following. You get seen by someone else's followers and reach a new audience.
? Expand your network: When you comment on posts that interest you, you're going to connect to other people interested in similar topics. Meeting new and interesting people online is one of the best parts about LinkedIn! I noticed I received more connection requests than usual during this time.
? Rank higher in the feed: Commenting will help the posts you do make rank higher in the algorithm.
? And a comment may even inspire a future post!
If you want to take your commenting game to the next level, I saw this helpful post by Jasmin Ali? breaking down the different types of comments. Take a look!
Thanks for reading!
