Introduction
Obtaining rapid growth on LinkedIn and building a highly engaged network is
one of the greatest feelings you can experience as a Founder.
That’s because when you double your engagement, gain targeted followers,
and establish a strong presence, you get to enjoy being seen by potential
investors, a wider pool of strategic partners, high-quality leads, and more
opportunities to collaborate, secure funding, or even position your business
for acquisition.
However, there are many obstacles you have to overcome before you can
get there. Not only do you have to juggle product development, fundraising,
and day-to-day operations – but you also have to find the time to become a
LinkedIn expert, which can be the most difficult challenge of all. All of this
can leave you feeling overwhelmed, unsure of where to focus, and frustrated
with slow progress.
I’ve written this guide to share some of the powerful industry secrets I’ve
accumulated during my time in the LinkedIn space. The information you’re
about to read will help you build a thriving LinkedIn network while making
sure you avoid common pitfalls like ineffective content and poor engagement
strategies.
By the time you’ve finished reading, you’ll have all the information you need
to kickstart your journey to LinkedIn success and significantly enhance your
professional network.
If you're serious about doubling your engagement and attracting the right
followers, one of the first things you absolutely must do is optimize your
LinkedIn profile.
According to LinkedIn, users with complete profiles are 40 times more likely
to receive opportunities. It’s not just about looking professional; it’s about
strategically positioning yourself to attract and engage your ideal audience
on LinkedIn.
Last but not least, don’t forget about your banner image. Your banner image
takes up a lot of space on your profile, and it’s often the first thing that
people see when they click on your profile. Make it reflect your brand and
industry.
By taking the time to create a strong, optimized profile, you'll lay the
foundation for LinkedIn success and make it easier to attract your ideal
followers and connections.
It’s the first step in transforming your LinkedIn account from a passive online
resume to a dynamic, lead-generating tool that works for you around the
clock.
This strategy is really powerful because it can help you get and retain
followers, attract high-quality leads, and establish yourself as a thought
leader in a MUCH shorter timeframe.
It’s how you attract attention, spark conversations, and build relationships.
According to LinkedIn, users who post weekly see a 2x lift in engagement,
which translates to more profile views, connection requests, and message
opportunities. Furthermore, providing consistent, valuable content positions
you as an authority in your field, helping to establish trust and credibility with
your audience.
To overcome this, develop a content strategy that aligns with your goals and
the interests of your target audience. Share a mix of industry news, tips and
advice, personal insights, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into your
company. Use eye-catching visuals, such as images and videos, to make
your posts more engaging and shareable.
Some examples/ideas:
What trends do you see shaping your industry? Offer your analysis and
insights on where things are headed.
Briefly discuss a challenge you solved for a client or lessons learned from
a project.
React to news or developments in your niche, providing your perspective
and analysis.
What are common questions you get from investors or potential
customers? Turn your answers into posts.
Too few Founders leverage the power of LinkedIn networking when it comes
to doubling their reach and building a meaningful network. Sadly, the
consequences can be disastrous and prevent them from ever reaching their
goals.
According to a LinkedIn study, users who engage with their network regularly
are 60% more likely to receive engagement on their own posts. Despite this,
many Founders take a passive approach to LinkedIn, expecting others to
engage with their content without making an effort to reciprocate.
To avoid this pitfall, make it a habit to spend 15-30 minutes each day
engaging with your network. Leave thoughtful comments on posts that
resonate with you, share content that your followers might find valuable, and
congratulate your connections on their achievements. By doing so, you'll stay
top-of-mind with your network and encourage them to return the favor by
engaging with your content.
This includes data on the demographics of your followers and viewers, how
people find your profile, and which of your posts are performing best. By
regularly reviewing and analyzing this data, you can identify what's working
well and what needs improvement, allowing you to refine your strategy and
create more targeted, effective content.
However, without hard data to back up their decisions, they risk wasting time
and resources on tactics that may not resonate with their target audience.
By using LinkedIn Analytics, you can track key metrics such as impressions,
likes, comments, shares, and follower growth. This information can help you
understand which types of content perform best, what days and times are
optimal for posting, and which audience segments are most engaged with
your brand.
Many people don’t know about this one – which is crazy because I think
utilizing LinkedIn Hashtags strategically is an absolute MUST-DO when it
comes to significantly boosting your reach and attracting the right audience
on LinkedIn.
I’ve put together a list of the 3 most common mistakes made by Founders on
LinkedIn – as well as easy-to-follow tips on how to avoid them.
Far and away the most common mistake Founders make is failing to
consistently engage with their network. I see it all too often - I’ve honestly
lost count of how many people I’ve come across who have made this error.
And, ultimately, your efforts to grow your presence and authority on LinkedIn
will be severely hindered.
Engaging with your network, you'll not only encourage others to reciprocate
and engage with your content, but you'll also position yourself as a valuable
member of the community and increase your visibility on the platform.
Your LinkedIn profile is often the first impression people will have of you and
your brand on the platform. A poorly optimized or incomplete profile can
make you appear unprofessional, untrustworthy, or simply uninteresting,
causing potential followers and connections to move on without engaging
further, leading to lost networking and business opportunities.
And, ultimately, your ability to achieve your goals will be severely hindered.
To avoid this mistake, take the time to optimize your LinkedIn profile fully:
This mistake might not be as common as the first two I've outlined – but that
doesn't make it any less harmful. In fact, it could be the most costly out of
the three – an error that could see you throw away hours of your time and
leave you further away from achieving your LinkedIn goals than when you
first started.
Failing to analyze and optimize your LinkedIn efforts is a critical mistake that
many Founders make. Without regularly reviewing your performance data
and making data-driven adjustments, you'll be operating blindly, unaware of
what's working and what's not.
You could be wasting time and resources on content or tactics that aren't
resonating with your target audience, while neglecting the strategies that
could be driving real results. You'll miss opportunities to refine your approach
and improve your engagement and follower growth.
Don't be afraid to experiment and test different approaches. Try new content
formats, posting times, or engagement tactics, and closely monitor the
results. Be willing to pivot and adjust your strategy based on what the data
tells you.
Here are just a few gems that you can use to dramatically increase your
LinkedIn engagement and follower count in as little as four weeks.
Not many people know this – but mastering LinkedIn's Algorithm can
drastically reduce the amount of time it takes you to increase your
engagement and followers significantly.
Most Founders are unaware that LinkedIn, like many social platforms,
operates on an algorithm that dictates which posts get more visibility.
Understanding and leveraging this algorithm will give you an advantage. The
algorithm favors content that generates early engagement (likes, comments,
shares) within the first hour of posting. Therefore, the key is to create
content that encourages interaction, such as asking questions or sharing
thought-provoking ideas that invite comments.
How does this help you achieve incredible results in a shorter timeframe?
According to LinkedIn, posts that engage users within the first two hours see
a significant increase in reach. This early engagement creates a ripple effect,
making your content visible to a broader audience beyond your immediate
connections.
Post content when your audience is most likely to be active (use LinkedIn
Analytics to find the best times).
Create engaging content that invites comments and shares.
Encourage your existing network to engage with your content early on.
This is something Founders are always shocked when I tell them about it –
but once I do, their surprise quickly turns to delight as they realize how much
time and effort it can save them.
Smart Replies enable you to maintain active engagement with your network
with minimal effort. Quick, contextually appropriate responses can keep
conversations flowing and help build relationships without the need to spend
a lot of time crafting responses. Efficient engagement is key on LinkedIn,
especially when you're looking to grow your network and influence.
According to LinkedIn, using features like Smart Replies can save users up to
30% of the time they would otherwise spend on typing out responses. This
means more time for creating content, strategizing, or engaging in deeper,
more meaningful conversations.
Enable and use 'Smart Replies' for quick and relevant responses.
Customize them slightly to add a personal touch, enhancing the
authenticity of your interactions.
Combine the use of Smart Replies with personalized, longer responses
where needed to maintain a balance between efficiency and
personalization.
According to LinkedIn, profiles with five or more skills listed are 33 times
more likely to be viewed by others. Additionally, profiles with
recommendations are more likely to be trusted and considered for
opportunities. This trust translates into more engagement, higher visibility,
and faster network growth.
Sadly, shortly after trying, it became clear that you just couldn’t do it. The
desk was WAY too heavy. Not only did you knock over the nearby lamp, but
you’ve now got a stabbing pain in your lower back… and the desk is still
stuck right where it was.
Well, the truth is, building a powerful presence on LinkedIn is a lot like that. It
can be very difficult – or even impossible – to build a strong and influential
network without any assistance.
Sadly, this is something that happens all too often to Founders. Instead of
seeking expert help, they try to go it alone and fall well short of achieving
their goals.
