Ever felt stuck and out of ideas for LinkedIn? I took a week off LinkedIn at the end of August. I was stuck. No ideas. Prioritising other projects. For some, a week off LinkedIn is no biggie. But for me? It's my top lead funnel. So, what did I do? I mapped out 5 topics with 100+ hooks to spark creativity. Used a detailed ChatGPT prompt to dive deeper. I also started using Taplio to schedule posts, dedicating just an hour each Sunday instead of scrambling daily. Anyone that knows me knows I’ve always believed LinkedIn to be a goldmine. Now, I'm doubling down. Hoping these small tweaks yield big results. What strategies do you use to stay consistent on LinkedIn? What content would you like to see more of?

Honestly some of the references I’ve read 😂

Hiring is pretty easy if you think about it... → Attracting → Converting → Closing → Not ghosting

It’s time we admit this.. Remote work is being misunderstood by most companies. They focus solely on concerns such as lack of collaboration and control. However a shift in paradigm will show you that most employees are happier with the choice to work remote and these concerns are easily fixed. 42% of workers rated a happiness score of 8 or above compared to 21% of office workers in a survey by Owl Labs. Here's how I look at remote working → Better work-life balance leading to reduced burnout → Greater flexibility in managing personal responsibilities → Lower overhead costs for companies (e.g., office space, utilities) → Enhanced inclusivity for employees with disabilities or health concerns → Access to global markets and clients without geographical constraints → Reduction in environmental impact due to decreased commuting → Improved employee retention due to higher job satisfaction → Increased autonomy and trust, promoting innovation and creativity → Ability to attract diverse perspectives by hiring from different regions → Less office politics, creating a more focused work environment → Enhanced ability to work during peak personal productivity hours → Reduction in sick days as employees can work while managing minor illnesses Starting to see the point? My team chat to 1000's of candidates a year. The majority want the freedom of remote working. I chat with 100's companies a year. The one's who are pro remote working get better access to talent, more competitive salaries and a WAY faster placement period. With the right team, the right processes and the right discipline remote working is a no brainer. What's your thoughts? P.s working from home and remote working are two complete different things.
