3 Tips You Need To Know To Grow On Linkedin
Follow these to fuel your growth 🌱
LinkedIn is more than just a professional platform.
It is a great platform to —
- Make connections
- Build networks
- Tell stories
Besides job hunting, it is a great platform to create a personal brand, sell your services, and become a creative entrepreneur.
Here’s how the big account with a high following grew on LinkedIn
#1. Share your knowledge
You don’t need to be an expert to write on the Internet.
And this is 100% true.
Then what is it that you need?
- Valuable content
- Solution for key problem
- Content that connects audience
And here’s what you don’t need?
If you are able to put your experience into compelling content, that talks to the reader, then you are sitting on ideas that will change your life.
Some examples —
- If you lost weight to be in shape, share your journey ( It’ll be helpful for those trying to lose weight)
- If you conquered the fear of public speaking share it ( It’ll guide those who are facing the same fear)
- If you become a prolific writer from irregular writer (Share your journey, showing how you wrote consistently)
{The 3rd one is my experience, you probably know this too}
The bottom line is you can share anything as long as it provides value and brings positive change in your audience’s life.
Start by —
- Writing
- Showing up
- Providing unique insights
Once you identify yourself with a specific idea, stick to it to get results.
As Kieran Drew says —
One story
One person
One solution
This rule of one is enough to get going on LinkedIn.
#2. Showcase your skills
No matter how well you write, you need to prove yourself to get the right traction.
After all, LinkedIn is a professional platform that is full of CEOs, business owners, entrepreneurs, influencers, and startups.
You don’t know when your content might get noticed.
So, as you write more and show up, your surface area of luck increases.
This results in more opportunities.
Because you kept going without worrying about outcomes.
Whether you’re a —
- Copywriter
- Ghostwriter
- B2B content creator
You need to create content that showcases your skill.
Create content that is —
- Helpful
- Actionable
- Authoritative
Once you provide social proof, testimonials, and words of your clients/leads, you become trustworthy.
Create value-packed content to convert your reader into a true fan.
Because once you have the authority, your audience comes to you looking for more.
#3. Share your experience
Humans love humans experience
Because in this AI-written content times, the content that is —
- Raw
- Real
- Relatable
Strike a chord with readers and they feel heard.
And stories are a great way to attract more eyeballs.
As they make —
- Readers feel they’re not alone
- Readers are one of them
- Readers are not bots
Write to —
- Evoke curiosity
- Invoke emotions
- Talk to the reader’s pain
Once you seem more alike and your experience sounds similar, the audience forms a chemistry with your ideas.
There’s no written strategy, but there is a strategy, to build connections, and network rightfully, that will eventually help you.
Write to build your personal brand.
LinkedIn is not hard to master once you have the right direction, the right sources, and the right guidance.
Learn from those who have been there, why reinvent the wheel when you can learn from those ahead of you?
