Are you struggling to find your unique edge on LinkedIn? Here’s an easy fix: Study your competition. Studying your competition doesn't mean copying what they do. It's about delving into their strategies. It's about discovering how to infuse your unique personality into your messaging. This is a continuous effort to analyze and adapt. Here are steps to conduct a LinkedIn competitor analysis: Step 1: Identify your competitors - Research to find brands offering similar products or services. - Ask your audience which other brands they consider. - Perform keyword research to uncover competitors. Consider brands that could impact your customer base and presence. Step 2: Analyze their content strategy - Observe the type of content they post (videos, images, carousels, etc.). - Note their posting frequency. - Measure engagement levels (likes, comments, shares). - Examine their hashtag. - Note their posting time. Step # 3: Check their interactions - Analyze how competitors interact with followers, including tone and response times. - Analyze how their audiences react to their comments and content. The goal isn’t to imitate but to innovate. ↳ Use these steps to connect with your audience uniquely. Pro Tip: Beyond Studying Your Competition - Identify areas where they could improve. - Notice anything they do excessively. - Find and exploit areas they are missing or ignoring. - Find their strengths and weaknesses. These gaps empower you to differentiate yourself from others and create content that resonates deeply with your audience. Until next time, keep going!

With over 850 million users, standing out and growing your LinkedIn account requires a strategic approach. Here are key steps to help you expand your professional network and increase your visibility on LinkedIn. 1.

Use relevant keywords in your headline, summary, and skills section to improve visibility in searches. 2. Content is King Publishing valuable, relevant, and consistent content is crucial for attracting and retaining a clearly defined audience.

This helps build relationships, establishes you as an authority in your field, and encourages others to engage with your content. 4. Leverage LinkedIn Groups Joining and actively participating in LinkedIn groups related to your industry can significantly expand your reach. Share your expertise, provide valuable insights, and engage with others' content. This can lead to new connections, opportunities, and increased visibility. 5.

Personalize your connection requests and messages to start building genuine connections. 6. Consistency is Key Regularly posting content and engaging with your audience keeps your profile active and attractive to potential connections. Use LinkedIn's scheduling feature or third-party tools to plan your content in advance. 7. Analyze and Adjust LinkedIn provides analytics for your posts and articles. Use these insights to understand what works best for your audience and adjust your content strategy accordingly. Conclusion Growing a successful LinkedIn account requires effort, strategy, and consistency.

What is the best day and time to post on LinkedIn? I don't think that's a good question Simply because it seems you are looking for an incremental hack? Which in all honesty, won't make a difference for most people... The questions I'd be asking would be more like: What do I want to accomplish after I post on social media? What will I talk about here ? Which channel is the most relevant for me? By the way, which channel is the best one for you? I have absolutely no idea. LinkedIn is just one channel. There are hundreds, if not thousands, out there. I use LinkedIn strategically to grow EVOLVE through my personal brand, and I encourage everyone who works with me to do the same because organic distribution is wild for personal profiles. Any social media you use is rented land—you don't own the audience. You simply get attention there and occasionally drive leads. I prefer to use social media as a space to get qualified attention, open up new relationships, and keep my existing audience engaged. In short, I don’t really care about the time spent because I use social media to share snippets of my life and things we’re working on. The real work and insights happen within the EVOLVE Commerce Club So, what I’m saying is: use social media to share your voice, build relationships, and move those relationships from social to proprietary channels. FOR EVOLVE, LinkedIn is a major channel, but we are now also planning on going offline because that’s ( also) where the magic happens. Jordan Peterson built his following on Quora simply by answering questions there and later uploading his lectures on YouTube? Gary Vaynerchuk started with wine reviews on YouTube and built an empire. Tiffany & Co. uses Instagram to create a luxury brand experience and drive sales. What are your goals when posting on social media? Who would you like to influence and build relationships with? How can you build trust and move people to proprietary channels to deepen relationships, build a real content distribution machine, and nurture your community? Let me know your thoughts

It’s nearly impossible to grow your brand or business on LinkedIn if you’re not doing this. (What top creators won’t tell you) A lot of people—maybe even you—post and then disappear, hoping that something magical will happen. But here’s the reality:   If you’re not actively engaging, you’re missing out. That’s why so many struggle to gain traction on social media. Posting alone isn’t enough. If you’re not interacting, you’re practically invisible to your audience. And when that happens, growth stalls. People forget you’re there. When you post and vanish, you miss the opportunity to build real connections, making it even harder to stand out in a crowded space. So, how do you change this? Start being social. Social media (LinkedIn included) is all about relationships. It’s about showing up regularly, engaging with others, and staying present. Here are 6 actionable steps to help you get started: 1. Engage consistently: Interact with 30-50 posts daily and leave 10 meaningful comments to build connections in your community.     2. Respond thoughtfully: Reply to comments on your own posts to build relationships and rapport. 3. Post regularly: Aim for 3-5 posts per week to stay consistent and visible. 4. Personalized outreach: Message 10 targeted connections weekly, and start 5 conversations to find potential clients. 5. Connect with ICPs: Identify 15 Ideal Client Profiles (ICPs) from your feed and engage with them. 6. Leverage top creators: Engage with leaders in your niche and their communities to expand your network. Take the next 30 days to follow these steps, and you’ll notice real growth in your social media presence. You’ll build stronger connections and grow your brand.

The #1 myth about LinkedIn that’s holding you back from getting clients. "You need thousands of followers to land high-paying clients on LinkedIn" Yeap, that's a big one. You can attract your ideal client without a large audience.

Your knowledge will stand out, not your follower count. →Engage Consistently • Comment on posts • Join conversations • Connect with decision-makers. Quality interactions are more valuable than passive followers. → Craft Client-Focused Content • Write content that solves problems your dream clients face. • Position yourself as a solution provider, not just another voice in the crowd. How to implement? ↳ Personalized Outreach • Reach out with tailored messages • Don’t use generic templates • Show them you understand their business ↳ Build a Strong Profile • Optimize your LinkedIn profile • Reflect your skills and client-focused services • Make it count your first impression 💜 Pro Tip It’s not about HIW MANY people follow you.

Have you ever wondered why LinkedIn stands out from the crowd when it comes to generating leads and building relationships with potential customers? The answer lies in the powerful LinkedIn Boost Response. One main reason is you have a "Targeted Audience". Unlike other platforms where content gets messed up, LinkedIn allows you to reach decision-makers and individuals with high purchasing power. A study by LinkedIn found that members on the platform are 2x more likely to be decision-makers compared to other social media platforms [Source: LinkedIn Business Marketing Blog]. People on LinkedIn are not posting "Selfies". They are on LinkedIn for one thing... doing business. Users on LinkedIn are actively seeking professional connections, information, and solutions. This targeted audience is already in an "in-market" mindset, making them more receptive to your brand message and offerings. And if you and your business just spend at least 5-10 minutes on LinkedIn, it can already influence users to spend 22% more on high-consideration goods compared to other social media platforms. So in order to unlock the "LinkedIn Boost Response", you need to open up and put into action these: ✅ Share valuable content:  Regularly share high-quality, industry-relevant content that educates, inspires, and engages your audience. Share industry trends, thought leadership pieces, and success stories to establish yourself as a trusted authority. ✅ Engage with your community:  Actively participate in discussions, respond to comments and messages, and join relevant groups to build relationships and nurture connections. Remember, it's a two-way street! ✅ Showcase your expertise:  Share your professional achievements, awards, and testimonials to demonstrate your expertise and build trust with potential customers. Don't be afraid to toot your own horn (but do it tastefully ). So there you go... By implementing these strategies, you can tap into the powerful "LinkedIn Boost Response" and turn today's LinkedIn member into your customer tomorrow. Remember, consistent effort and valuable engagement are key to unlocking the full potential of this platform. #linkedin #linkedinmarketing #b2bmarketing #marketingcampaign #socailmediamarketing

I recently discovered a hack to grow my LinkedIn following. Tag businesses. See, I realized early on that the best way to grow my following was to get engagement from people with bigger followings than me. When you do, your post gets a ton more impressions because it gets served to their audience. My best performing post to date is still one of my first posts that Alex Lieberman liked. But I couldn’t unlock a way to get engagement from people with big followings. I tagged people in a variety of different types of posts and got no response. Recently, I stumbled into something different. I posted about my work processes and so I tagged a few businesses who have tools I really like complimenting them. I only did this because I thought having the name of the company in blue made the post look more interesting 😆. But then most of the companies engaged with the posts! As a result, the posts have gotten way more reach. It totally makes sense, at companies, it’s someone’s full time job to monitor and engage with audiences on social media. And it's a win-win, I get reach outside of my audience, and they get more exposure through my posts. If you’re trying to grow your following, try out this tactic. Anytime you’re mentioning a company, just tag them. If you get engagement, it will dramatically increase your exposure. Plus, the blue makes the post look more interesting.

Here’s How to Find Your Best Posting Time on LinkedIn (To Drive More Engagement and Reach Your Target Audience) In one of my recent posts, I asked about your preferred LinkedIn posting time and received a variety of answers. However, it’s not just about having a posting time—it’s about finding the best time that delivers optimal results. Here’s a guide to help you discover the perfect posting time. Answer these questions to get started: 1️⃣ When does your community post? Your LinkedIn community is based on various factors such as location, industry, or even personal connections (friends, supporters, etc.). There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, but understanding when your community is most active allows you to post when they’re online and increase engagement. 2️⃣ When is your target audience online? It’s important not just to post for likes and comments, but to ensure your target audience sees your posts. Identifying when they are active on LinkedIn is crucial for determining your optimal posting time. 3️⃣ When can you post consistently? Knowing when your community and target audience are online is helpful, but if you can’t consistently post at those times, there's no point dragging it. Instead, find a time when you can post regularly and consistently, join a community that posts at that time, and try to repost when your target audience is most active. Factoring in these three questions will help you boost engagement and connect with your audience. Feel free to add questions 4 and 5! PS. Ready to grow your brand on LinkedIn in 2025?
