Growing your following to 100k on LinkedIn: If I can do it so can you.
It took me two years to grow to some 50k followers and less than 12 months to get to then get to 100k. I now help entrepreneurs and small businesses owners/freelancers grow their influence on LinkedIn via one-on-one coaching.
According to various sources, some of the things you can do to grow your LinkedIn following are:
- Write about what you know best: Share your expertise, insights, and opinions on topics that are relevant to your industry, niche, or audience. Write to inform, educate, inspire, or entertain your readers. Write about relatable topics that resonate with your audience.
- Write consistently: Publish articles on LinkedIn regularly and at optimal times. Aim for at least one article per week, but don’t sacrifice quality for quantity. Experiment with different topics, formats, and lengths to see what works best for your audience.
- Optimize your profile and posts: Make sure your profile reflects your personal brand and showcases your skills, achievements, and personality. Use keywords that are relevant to your niche and industry. Turn on Creator Mode to highlight your content and invite followers. Use catchy headlines, images, videos, hashtags, and tags to make your posts more visible and engaging.
- Engage with your audience and other users: Reply to all comments on your posts and thank your readers for their feedback and support. Engage with other posts that are relevant to your niche or industry by liking, commenting, sharing, or mentioning other users who might be interested in the topic. Join groups and communities where you can network and interact with other professionals in your field.
- Collaborate with other influencers: Leverage the power of collaboration by partnering with other influencers who have similar or complementary goals and audiences. You can co-create content, host events, cross-promote each other, or exchange endorsements and recommendations.
- Measure and improve: Track and analyze the performance of your posts using LinkedIn’s analytics tools or third-party tools like Shield or Hypefury. You can use metrics such as views, likes, comments, shares, followers, etc. to evaluate your content effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. You can also use these insights to improve your content strategy and optimize your performance.
I hope this helps you get closer to your goal of 100,000 followers on LinkedIn.
Remember that it takes time, effort, and patience to build a loyal and engaged following on any social platform.
Don’t give up and keep creating valuable content for your audience.
