Helpful insight from Sandra Long

I remember the "dumbest mistake I made on LinkedIn" When I first joined LinkedIn I thought that sending connection requests was the only method to increase my followers So, that's exactly what I did—I sent out tons of requests and sure enough, my follower count went up. But here's where I went wrong (and maybe we've all been there) I had no idea who I was connecting with 🤷♂️ I ended up with over 2,000 connections and followers on my profile ↳ I didn't understand the value of genuine networking ↳ I had no clue who my target audience was ↳ And I barely grasped the concept of personal branding And guess what? When I posted something ↳ I'd barely get 50 impressions on my post. I kept trying, but my posts never broke 100 impressions. So I gave up halfway through. ↳ I disappeared for 2-6 months. → During that time, I learned ⥋ How to build a brand ⥋ How to network effectively ⥋ How to create content that grabs attention When I returned, the first thing I did - I removed all my connections in 3 days. I went from 2,000 followers to just 300 in a day. I started connecting with the right people (in my niche) I posted more frequently My content started reaching more people. This is the mistake many people make in their LinkedIn journey. The wrong audience affects your growth. So, hello to everyone who made it this far and read the entire caption. Syed Ali

10 Linkedin tips that can double your growth. Sharing what I’ve learnt in 1 year: 1) You have to choose between speedy growth and quality growth. Speedy growth gets followers. Quality growth gets business. 2) If you don’t have clarity of your goal, you won't get results. You must have answers to the following to get results: - Why you are here? - Who are your target audience? - What do you want to achieve in 1 month? 3) Vulnerability is good for engagement, not for conversion. Before sharing anything, remember your clients. Don’t post anything that makes your clients doubt your capability. 4) Ask people to follow you, DM you, or get your guide. Don’t expect people to do it if you’re not softly promoting it. 5) Send connection notes to fill DMs with prospects. Your future clients are mostly silent on Linkedin. You need to be active in DMs to get clients. 6) People who follow you easily, don't buy from you. Engagers are not your clients. They help you to get visible in front of your clients. 7) Small creators need to do outreach to get leads. Inbound leads work with a proper strategy. Otherwise, you get cheap projects. Focus on networking and outbound to get good clients. 8) Hooks are less words and more psychology. If you understand human behavior, you can write great scroll-stopping hooks. 9) 10 Quality followers > 100 quick followers. Quantity doesn’t bring money, quality does. 10) Content flops when engagement stops. These 3 things should never stop: - Commenting on other people's posts - Replying to your comments - Making connections Which point was your favorite? -------------- PS: Follow me & Ring the bell 🔔- Senza Barnwal ⭐ I spill secrets of LinkedIn growth daily -------------- #linkedingrowth #lessons #personalbranding #digitalshum #shumailaqamar #socialmediamanager #webdesigner #letsconnect

You can’t get business with 5000 followers on Linkedin. It’s an excuse to hide that you don`t understand LinkedIn. Imagine 5000 people sitting in a room. It’s a lot, isn’t it? You just need to convince 5 people from that 5000 to pay you. That’s JUST 0.1% of the people in that room. If your content can’t convert even 0.1% of your audience, there’s something wrong with your strategy. You can’t copy the strategy of someone else and expect it to work for you. Linkedin strategy changes with respect to: - The kind of audience you have gathered - The confidence you have in your skills - The stage of your Linkedin growth Your situation is unique, and your strategy has to be unique too. Conclusion: You don’t need more followers to get business from Linkedin. You need a better strategy. 📌BONUS: Read the comment to know how you can create a winning strategy. -------------- PS: Follow me & Ring the bell 🔔- Senza Barnwal ⭐ I spill secrets of LinkedIn growth daily -------------- #linkedingrowth #linkedinstrategy #contentmarketing #leadgeneraation

If you are having thousands of followers but getting only tens of views, then you are not having the right set of connections. [It's time to clean up your connections list]   If you are accepting all the connection requests just to make your follower count increase, then you might be prioritizing quantity over quality. [Connect with people who align with your objective]   If you want your profile to be searched by others, but not getting enough views, then you are not using right set of keywords on your profile that makes you searchable. [Leverage headline, about section, services section, experiences section to include the keywords you want to be searched for]   If you are not able to generate the leads even after making people land on your profile, then you are not using the right set of clickable actions on your profile. [Leverage featured section which catches most of the attention to provide your services]   If you are just sending out a connection request expecting the other person to accept your request, then you are just throwing a stone in the dark. [Create personalized note, understand follow-up mechanism, comment on their posts, do whatever you could to show up on top of their notifications]   Do you know the power of recommendations, endorsements, different types of filters, different sections on LinkedIn, different extensions for LinkedIn? [The most underrated yet powerful features, high time to start exploring and using them]   These are just the basics I've learnt from GrowthSchool's LinkedIn Workshop by Vaibhav Sisinty ↗️. From understanding your objective to finding your target audience, from profile optimization as in making it searchable, clickable to loads of stuff about connecting with people, from writing generic content to many other hacks and tools! The sessions in the workshop are truly engaging and insightful.
