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.
Sound Bites
- “Pick the thing that is going to be the most effective for you to monetize.”
- “Case studies are a great way to show the value of working with you.”
- “Post with whatever frequency is comfortable for you, ideally no less than once a week.”
- “I always try and repay people who take the time to comment on my posts.”
- “You don’t need that many people who are showing up and enjoying your posts every time you post to create real momentum on LinkedIn.”
- “A post can take on a new life like six hours later, eight, eight, 10 hours later.”

I'm running a one-day in-person workshop in December in Providence, Rhode Island, called "Kickstart Your Pipeline."
If you're not getting as many leads as you want and you're looking for a systematic, dignified alternative to cold outreach, paid ads, and clowning around on social media, this workshop is for you.
We'll start with a fancy dinner (on me) on the evening of December 9, and then the one-day workshop is on December 10 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
For all the details and to reserve your seat, just click the link below:

Hope to see you in Providence on Dec 9 and 10!
