Strolling along the streets of LinkedIn reading up posts... trying to engage... A notification popped up...and what was that? Took a look and that was it! Without thinking twice, I took the plunge! Chief Storyteller was at it again. Yet a gnawing pull in another direction 🥹 Had cut short an earlier engagement to be in a paid class which clashed with this live audio event that wouldn't be the same if repeated. Oh dear God, what to do? Live zoom session on one device... Live LinkedIn audio event on another... I wish I could lend an ear to each But you know well that can't be. The two sessions were value-packed. Decided to take advantage of the recorded provision for my zoom class, because LinkedIn wasn't recorded. Everything important needs proper attention, right? I'm glad to say, in the end, I got the two! >>>>>> Are you a newbie on LinkedIn, struggling to create relatable content? Do you find it difficult to attract your target audience? Does your content sound fake even though it's your personal experience? Here are some insights I found valuable from the audio event that I believe can also help you. ✓ Use hooks, not click-baits. With this, you don't only attract readers, you keep them glued. ✓ Based on your experience, do some research to broaden your reach. Your experience could have different perspectives you don't have a monopoly on. ✓ Screen any content idea you have, and break down pain points embedded in it. ✓ Create a visual image in your mind and employ sincere emotional connections. ✓ Include a challenge in your post and work around it to find solutions (conflict and resolution) and weave this into your CTA. If you know Dr Ishioma Elora Onah, you know there was so much more to this event hosted by Kingsley Ajayi. You sure do not want to miss upcoming ones. >>>>>> You are definitely the solution to someone's problem right here, just like Iniobong Nathan, a dynamic virtual assistant with the teaching flair. I help busy business owners stay organised and productive by providing administrative support. PS: Need a bonus tip?
