My commenting strategy was featured by LinkedIn. In 2023, thousands of you saw results with it. In 2024, let's double down on those results! (you'll want to save this post for later) Before we dive deeper, remember: Posting on LinkedIn isn't enough. ↳ You have to comment too. ↳ It brings more followers. ↳ It brings opportunities. In no particular order, here are 17 things I do with my comments that got me 100-1k followers daily + fully booked last year. (On pace to do it this year too) 1. Never comment "Great post" → too generic 2. Always write a genuine & engaging comment 3. Never comment only for the author of the post 4. Always comment for everyone reading the post 5. Find 20-30 creators in the same niche → writing 6. Find 10 creators in an adjacent niche → branding 7. Try to comment early on their posts → not a must 8. Swipe through their comment sections every time 9. Find your ICPs (ideal customers) in the comments 10. Leave 3-4 extra "replies" to your ICPs' comments 11. On your own posts, stay there for 60-90 minutes 12. Make sure to bring a feeling of "real" community 13. Leave a few "pinned" comments with questions 14. Share "bonuses" in your pinned comments too 15. Use endearing names → friend, fam, bud, pal 16. Never write anything negative → ANYTHING 17. Let every comment reflect your brand / self Oh, and make sure to do this every single day. Pro tip: LinkedIn is cooler on the weekends! Repost this strategy ♻️ for your network! P.S. Which part is your favorite (1-17)?
I got 8 inbound leads, almost crossed my first 1k followers, revived my dead profile, and created an incredible network. -> ALL WITHOUT POSTING ONCE! The last time I posted was 2 years ago. (My one and only post) Yes, you heard it, although I would not recommend you to do the same. but, "commenting" in itself can be omnipotent! Here is what I would recommend, ->Learn basic techniques of posting and then comment. ->Leave 5-10 insightful comments daily (Non-negotiable) ->Have a solid structure to how you would hook, start and end. ->Be more giving & just like Gary Vaynerchuk says, provide VALUE. ->Make sure you are commenting for everyone, important af. ->Try and be authentic every time you comment, bring real. ->Try engaging everyone who likes, replies, and DMs you. Pro-Tip: With the same structure, energy, and dedication, comment as if you are posting. Jasmin Alić, I started implementing a lot of things that you taught at live audio events, especially points 2,3,8,9 and 12 And boy, they worked like a charm! Q for you- Do you folks have a separate commenting strategy as well? P.S.- I will be sharing my entire commenting strategy as soon as I cross 1k followers, cannot wait!
Jasmin Alić, Back again, my friend. I just remembered that some months back, as I couldn't message, etc, I wrote a post to my followers explaining how awesome you were and how much you helped me. That post got zero reactions. But I was ok I am in this for long term. Since then, I get quite a lot of reactions. By, I still know and then read your playbook and commenting strategy. I will try if you will get the message this time. 💚🤜🤛💚 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/christianherrerodaucik_hey-there-jay-i-wanted-to-recommend-activity-7118365259081371648-8ZwP?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop
Very interesting- I wonder who figured this out?
what do you mean when you say stay on your own post for 60-90 minutes? Just keep it open in your browser for that long?
Jasmin Alić what do you mean by 11 (stay on post for 60-90 min)? Never saw that
This is what I have learned so far: Read the post thoroughly. Pick the key points Analyze what the author wants to share in the post share your personal views on the post keep them positive Share 2-3 times leave an impact. We comment for the sake of visibility and commenting 3–4 times works great for getting attention from others. Jasmin Alić 👌
What I love about this post the most, is the selfless act of helping others. Yeah for sure, there us the repost comment at the end, which you could argue us a bit of clickbait (cheeky) 😏 But, he is giving out his secrets and giving everyone on here the opportunity to build great followings and audiences and engagement. I love it. The algorithm has changed recently on LinkedIn and I understand from people like Lea 🌈 Turner that engagement is key. So great post and thank you for the tips. Let's all take advantage and use this information to grow our followings, grow our networks and grow our businesses. 💪
insaneeeee values, my friend. Jasmin Alić
I'll be saving this post for reference. Excited to implement these strategies and see the impact on my own LinkedIn presence. Thanks for sharing your points and looking forward to more tips from you

4moThank you as always! Being diligent and consistent in commenting daily is fantastic advice. You have to show up regularly to see growth. And your point about weekends is a great one too! Of your suggestions, I'd say finding adjacent niches to build connections in, and replying to commenters on your own posts stand out most. Expanding beyond just a single silo is brilliant for expanding reach. And facilitating discussions on your content is masterful engagement.
