LinkedIn gets a lot of hate.
But this year I gained 272,000 followers and did $2,800,000 in revenue in 2023.
Here's how you can do the same:
1. Optimize Your Profile
The first and most important thing you need to do to start growing on LinkedIn is cleaning up your profile:
• Headshot
• Clear Tagline
• Banner Image
• About Section
• Featured Section
• Turn on Creator Mode
2. Headshot:
A clean profile picture is essential.
Especially on LinkedIn, your image matters.
People make subconscious judgments based on looks in under a second.
You want to ensure you look clean, competent, and confident.
3. Create a Clear Tagline:
Your tagline is essential to gaining followers on Linkedin.
Anyone looking at your profile should know:
• Who you are
• What you’re working on
• What they should expect by following you
Nail the tagline to convert profile viewers into followers.
4. Banner Image
The banner is the most important part of your profile on Linkedin.
Even before your headshot, it is the first thing a visitor to your profile sees.
Your banner should promote:
• A newsletter
• Your website
• The service you offer
• A project you’re working on
5. About Section
Social proof is huge on Linkedin.
Everyone wants to prove their status.
So, it's time to step up.
Flex your:
• Wins
• Accolades
• Education
• Past positions
• Accomplishments
Prove to your profile visitors why they should care about you.
6. Featured Section
This section shows a viewer what else you have in your portfolio.
Plug your other content like:
• Podcasts
• Newsletters
• Digital Products
• YouTube Channels
This is an easy way to increase social proof and drive viewers to your other platforms.
7. Turn on Creator Mode
99% of LinkedIn users are consumers.
Only 1% are creators.
This is the largest disparity out of any social media platform.
Leverage this to your advantage and instantly separate yourself from the masses.
8. Post Consistently
Schedule posts through Taplio
On Sunday, batch 1 post for every day of the week.
Use your high-performing tweets or threads and convert them.
• Show up daily
• Develop your tone
• Test new experiments
9. Network With Other Creators
Networking is huge on LinkedIn.
You can leverage more established audiences to grow.
