Follow this rule if you want better LinkedIn Posts. So you’ve written a killer LinkedIn post and you’re ready to hit the Publish button. Well, not so fast! I’m going to tell you how to level it up. Sit on it for at least 24 hours before letting it go out to the world. I know we all love to be lazy but planning and forethought will always pay off.  Because if you publish your post too fast, it’s more likely to have typos, missing words, incomplete thoughts, and poorly worded sentences. And what sucks is that all of these are easy fixes. All you have to do is step away for a little while so your brain will lose its familiarity with what you’ve written. See, after you’ve just written something, it’s almost impossible to catch all of your mistakes. That’s because you know in your head what it’s supposed to sound like.  But to others, your mistakes stick out like bright flashing lights because your post isn’t their brainchild. And this can damage your reputation and credibility. So practice some self-control and patience and don’t publish your posts right away. P.S. This applies to all writing. But we writers seem to struggle the most on this when it comes to social media.

'Just post' is the worst linkedin advice ever. Some people on LinkedIn say you should just post without thinking too much. But, trust me, that might not be the best idea. Posting on LinkedIn isn't just about throwing anything out there and hoping it sticks. It needs planning, thinking, and knowing your audience. Every post shows who you are and what your personal brand is about. Random posts can actually hurt you more than help. Here are five reasons why you should think twice before just posting: 1. Relevance is Key Your content should be useful. Random posts can make your message unclear and confuse your audience about your values. 2. Quality Matters More Than Quantity It's better to post less often with good content than to post a lot of average stuff. Each post should be well-written and meaningful. 3. Engage Your Audience Understand what your audience likes. Posting without thinking about them can lead to fewer likes and missed chances. 4. Stay Consistent Having a consistent message helps build a strong personal brand. Random posts can make you seem all over the place. Focus on solving one problem for one person per post. 5. Have a Purpose Every post should have a clear reason, whether it's to teach, motivate, or start a conversation. Random posts without a goal can give mixed results. P.S: Genuine growth requires genuine effort. P.P.S: Your LinkedIn profile is important—treat it well, and it can give you back more than you think. ♻️Repost to help others who thinks that just posting is the right thing. --------------------------------------- Liked this?

What do think makes the perfect LinkedIn post? What will stop you in your tracks, grab your attention and suck you in? Obviously this is subjective but add your comments and perhaps there is a happy medium that we can all delight in; and I can then post accordingly! This year I took a deep dive into the murky waters of LinkedIn. I witnessed the good, the terrible and the fugly, and I lived to post about it afterwards Often the obvious way to get to the best is to identify the worst - again subjective of course For me the ugliest are those where the author is superficially drawing attention to something noble and worthy but they are in reality making it all about themselves So here is my summary of what (for me) is a perfect post I think (despite what my wife says) size is important - too long and I won’t engage, and too short then what’s the point; a sprinkling of humour and self-deprecation; avoiding excessive (preferably any to be honest) emoji use; if the post relies on someone else’s words then it helps if the author actually understands them and gives due credit; and pictures or gifs that bear no connection to the content are a distraction. The content may not be the most important part of the post but it’s my reaction that’s important - it may make me want to read more from that author And finally there’s the engagement- the call to action. I’m not a lover of the lazy LinkedIn poll, but searching questions within the post, yes. I want to see 2-way interaction with the author, it is after all their party So, share with us your ideal post and if you have one as an example then send us to it so that we can marvel in the miracle

Feel like your LinkedIn posts are just disappearing? Here's a simple trick to change that! Have you ever spent ages writing a LinkedIn post, only to get a couple of likes and maybe one comment? It's pretty frustrating, right? Well, you're not alone. A lot of us face this. But I found a small change that made a big difference. Let's Talk About Your Hook The secret? Your Hook. Make it catchy. You want to make people curious or give them a reason to care. Think about what grabs your attention when you're scrolling. Why This Works We're all busy, and there's so much to see online. A good first sentence is like a friendly wave that says, "Hey, this might be interesting for you!" It helps your post stand out. Keep It Simple and Genuine You don't need fancy words. Just be you. Share a quick story, ask a question, or say something surprising. The goal is to start a conversation, not to give a lecture. After the Hook: Keep Delivering Once you've got their attention, keep your post easy to read. Use short sentences. Break up your text so it's not just a big block of words. And most importantly, keep it interesting and helpful. Wrap It Up with a Question At the end of your post, ask your readers something. It can be their opinion, advice, or experiences. This invites them to comment, which means more people will see your post. Let's Try It Out That's it! A simple trick, but it really works. Next time you write a LinkedIn post, spend a little extra time on your Hook. See what happens! What's one topic you're excited to write about? Drop your ideas in the comments, and let's discuss!

Make Your LinkedIn Posts Get Noticed! Want more people to see your LinkedIn posts? Here's how 👉 🚫 Things to Avoid Make sure you don't do these things, or your posts might not get seen: - Bad spelling and grammar. - Too many links or hashtags. - Tagging people who aren't related to your post. 🔍 Focus on Good Content Here's how to make your posts stand out: - Talk about things that are important to a specific group of people. - Show that you know a lot about what you're talking about. - Talk and connect with people in your network. 📈 Making Your Posts Better - Wait a day before you post again. - Write longer posts (about 1000 characters). - Use short sentences and paragraphs. - Try not to send people away from LinkedIn with outside links. 📊 Get More People to Interact - Begin your posts with something that grabs attention. - Ask a question that makes people want to answer. - Use different types of posts (like videos or pictures) to keep it interesting. ⏰ The First Hour is Important - Try to reply quickly to comments right after you post. - Post when most of your followers are online. Remember, keep posting regularly and talk to people who comment. This will help you get more attention on LinkedIn. Is there anything I've missed? Is there something working well for you?

A simple LinkedIn routine for those who don't know what to post and don't want to become a LinkedIn creator: Read. Reply. Repurpose. 1) READ Login and READ some of the latest content in your timeline. (While you're at it, teach your feed to be more interesting and useful. If you want to see less of something then unfollow people or tell LinkedIn to show less of it.) 2) REPLY When you do find something interesting or you like, then REPLY and add to the conversation. Don't force it, just be natural (and polite). You'll help the person who published the original post by increasing their engagement, and you might get into conversation with them or other people commenting on the post. Your replies will often be authentic and little throw-away stories or anecdotes you won't think of if you opened a blank document to write a post. Perfect posts for LinkedIn, other social media platforms, and newsletters. 3) REPURPOSE If any of these replies might help others then REPURPOSE them and post to your own timeline. The scheduling tool can help you space them apart. 4) LOGOUT ... If you'd like more stories and tips like these then feel free to subscribe to my newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/eAB4WXTj

15 unpopular Linkedin tricks you must try: (Sharing from personal experience) 1) I sent connection notes to people in my industry to build my initial network. They are the ones who’ll support your content to help you grow. Remember: Collaboration > Competition 2) I checked my DMs daily and replied to all. Chatting over DMs make sure that your content is shown to that person. 3) I had 1 clear goal in mind - Increase my followers with quality content. I didn’t focus on leads in the initial 3 months. Focused approach > Trying to chase everything at once. 4) I posted every day on Linkedin since February 2023. This made me write, commit & experiment daily. Most people are lazy to show up, use it to your advantage. 5) I stalked top creators like my crush. When I liked a creator, I spent 6,7 hours going through their profile, posts and activities. You can literally decode their success secrets without even having a conversation with them. Nothing is hidden on Linkedin. 6) I read ‘Steal like an artist’ & ‘Cashvertizing’ books. Structured self-education > collecting random ideas from people. 7) I made a list of people who’d regularly engage with my content. I made sure i engage with them too. Give support -> get support. 8) I dumped all my ‘random ideas’ in my ‘notes’ app. I also started saving the posts i loved on linkedin. Having a bank of ideas > Relying on instant inspiration 9) I engaged actively with the community - I said more than “Nice post” “Interesting share”. More you give -> More you receive 10) I replied to all of my comments. I reply to the questions, doubts and genuine DMs too. Your audience trusts that they can get an answer from you. So they come back for more. 11) I gave work opportunities to people who had been following me religiously. If my friend was looking for someone, I’d refer them. Many of them got gigs through it. Be supportive & kind -> you’ll earn trust. 12) I kept Sunday reserved for ‘My posts’ I allow myself to post whatever I like whether It is too personal, too random or too boring. I wait for this one day to express and share without restrictions. This keeps me excited about the whole process. 13) I was patient and I didn’t expect immediate results. I used to get 400-600 impressions, 2 comments and 5-6 likes. Low engagement doesn’t mean that your content is worth less, you just haven`t been in the game long enough.

Dear Young Professional, Welcome to LinkedIn! Spending time on LinkedIn can trigger anxiety and make you feel that everyone else is doing so much more than you are. Know that most of what you see on LinkedIn is not completely true. Do not use LinkedIn to consume content. If you want to consume content, visit Netflix or a similar platform. They have far better content, created by some of the best creators like Christopher Nolan and Steven Speilberg. If you are looking for business content, watch TED Talks, and read articles from specific magazines. LinkedIn is not a place to consume content. Not even my content. If you want to use LinkedIn to its potential, check people's journeys. Go to their profile sections and see how they have grown. It will reduce fear and open your mind to possibilities. Connect with people across diverse fields who are at different stages in their journey. And engage with them in a meaningful manner by either exchanging messages or writing comments on their posts or comments. This way, over the next 5 years, you would have built some meaningful connections. It is better to have 400 connections with whom you can exchange messages, than having 14,000 mindless connections. I advised you to not consume content and then I suggested you to comment on posts and reply to comments. That is because I know it is difficult not to consume content. Refrain as much as you can. And choose who's content you consume. Avoid people who make you anxious. Follow people who help you learn a subject. Josh Braun, Dr. Robert Cialdini, Anustup Nayak, Nachiket Mor, Vineeth Venugopal, Amit Chand, are some people who will trigger your curiosity and help you learn things across diverse subjects. People who are making an impact in real life, like the doctor performing an open heart surgery while I write this message, or the person designing the next car for a company, or the person using psychology to increase sales for a corporation, none of them write on LinkedIn. People who want to make a living by selling courses, write on LinkedIn. Ask yourself, do you want to limit your world to LinkedIn? Or do you want to make an impact beyond LinkedIn? Choose wisely. May you have a meaningful stay on LinkedIn.  Be awesome! Dushyant
