Takeaways

• Know what you want to be known for on LinkedIn and focus on educational content to build authority.
• Map out a series of questions to answer in your content and use case studies and testimonials to showcase the value of your work.
• Engage with comments on your own posts and on other people’s posts to build relationships and expand your network.
• Frequency of posting is flexible, but consistency is key. Replying to comments on LinkedIn posts is important, especially for thoughtful and insightful comments.
• Engaging with other creators’ posts can help expand your reach and build relationships.
• Using carousels and images in posts can increase visibility and engagement.
• Avoid including links in posts to maximize reach, but consider using them in comments to drive traffic and build relationships.
• Engaging with comments can lead to valuable insights and growth opportunities.
