Chapter 1: My LinkedIn Experience

In the realm of social media, I have engaged in numerous experiments. Currently, I enjoy an impressive average of 30,000 views per week on LinkedIn. Through my observations, I've found that posts celebrating anniversaries and milestones tend to garner the most engagement.

Recently, I shared the following on LinkedIn:

🎉 I am thrilled to celebrate reaching 18,000 connections and an average of 30,000 views weekly on my posts.

⏰ In the beginning, I dedicated just 15 minutes each week to LinkedIn. During that time, I focused on sharing valuable content, participating in discussions, exploring various topics in my feed, and enhancing my profile.

🌐 My journey on LinkedIn has been both enlightening and rewarding, allowing me to forge meaningful connections with professionals around the globe.

💡 While LinkedIn is a powerful platform for sharing insights and experiences, I emphasize the importance of maintaining a presence across multiple platforms. Social media is unpredictable; platforms can vanish, and you might find yourself locked out of groups. I have also found success on Facebook Groups, Medium, and through newsletters.

My top three recommendations for succeeding on LinkedIn are:

🖼️ A single image can convey a powerful message. Opt for one clear photo or video, as multiple images can be overwhelming. Here is a snapshot of me from 2019 on a rainy day in Central Park, New York, enhanced with 'glowing' text via Canva.

🎭 Keep your interactions diverse. Experiment with different ways to engage and vary your content to connect with others.

🤖 Use AI as a supportive tool rather than a replacement. With so much generic content flooding the internet, authenticity is crucial. Audiences appreciate genuine voices, so don’t shy away from sharing your true self!

🚫 Navigating the darker aspects of social media is essential. I experienced a troubling episode involving a stalker who funded a smear campaign against me on LinkedIn and Facebook for a month. Take this as a cautionary tale: be discerning about what you share and who you connect with. Don’t hesitate to block negative individuals promptly.

🔮 Looking ahead, I aim to create a 30-second video profile and experiment with LinkedIn Live! The upcoming “Update Your Bio Day” on August 10th seems like a perfect opportunity for a refresh, especially with #Xerocon approaching!

Since sharing my earlier post, I’ve welcomed 42 new connections, bringing me closer to my goal of 19,000 connections in the next 20 weeks. Every post I share on LinkedIn gains more visibility, which is a significant win for me.

Some examples of effective anniversary and milestone posts include:

• Celebrating your company’s founding date
• Marking the anniversary of a notable event
• Personal anniversaries (I’ve shared my wedding anniversary)
• Achieving specific milestones, such as reaching a certain number of subscribers or followers (I recently hit 10K on YouTube)
• Participation in significant events

I hope these ideas spark inspiration for your future posts!
