QUALITY CONTENT................Without a doubt, the most important element. No matter how good your branding, positioning and social proof are... If your content sucks, your growth will suck. But what does quality content mean?

The weird truth I realized after 7M followers 👇 It doesn’t matter: - How consistent you are - How much you engage - Or even when you post Here’s what truly matters if you want to grow on LinkedIn & your business in 2024: 1️⃣ Luck (1%): As much as we don’t want to admit it - luck is involved... But luck on its own is useless unless you also master 👇 2️⃣ Social Proof (9%): People follow based on trust. They trust you to bring them value. No trust = no follow (the best way to earn trust is in the last tip) The next crucial element is: 3️⃣ Branding (20%): - How you speak - What you stand for - How everything looks In a sea of sameness, in a market full of AI faces - you have to be different And don’t forget about this next point... 4️⃣ Positioning (30%): Why should people follow you? No, really - do you have a simple answer to this question? If yes, do you communicate that with your profile and content? And is that answer strong enough? Would people pay $5 to follow you? And lastly, the most important element 👇 5️⃣ Content (40%): Without a doubt, the most important element. No matter how good your branding, positioning and social proof are... If your content sucks, your growth will suck. But what does quality content mean? That’s super subjective. As they say - quality is in the eye of the beholder... Here is where something called Artistic Eye vs Artistic Skill comes into play It’s a little-known psychological factor that the top 5% of creators use If you want to learn it + everything I’ve learned from 20,000+ posts 👹• Check the link in my profile or in the comment sections

Catch the PIG🐷 If you wanna be a big creator on LinkedIn I deeply believe in simple steps with easy execution so for people who want a perfect way to create content I would like to share the PIG strategy 1️⃣ Personal Content (Be human) Share your stories, experiences, or things you’ve learned from working with clients or your daily lifestyle.

🌱 Why Your Growth is Stuck? Let's Uncover the Real Reasons! 🌱 It's easy to blame the algorithm, shadow bans, or a lack of followers when we feel like we're not growing. But is that the real reason? Often, what we perceive as roadblocks are just the surface-level excuses. 🌟 Here's a tough truth: The key to growth lies in the fundamentals. If your content is not relevant, consistent, or engaging, no algorithm change will save you. Growth doesn’t happen overnight, but with a solid strategy and a little patience, you’ll start to see real results. 🔍 Instead of thinking "The algorithm hates me" or "I need ads to grow," let's focus on: 1️⃣ Creating content that resonates with your audience. Irrelevant content won’t connect with people. Know your niche and provide value. 2️⃣ Consistency is key. Are you posting regularly? Staying active ensures that your followers don’t forget about you. 3️⃣ Engagement matters. Social media isn’t a one-way street. Reply to comments, interact with your followers, and show that you care about their thoughts. 4️⃣ Blaming others or quitting won’t help. Take responsibility for your growth, learn from your mistakes, and keep pushing forward. 5️⃣ No bots, only real people – If you’re not interacting with real people, you’re missing the point of social media. Build a genuine connection with your community. It’s time to stop looking for external reasons and focus on the actions that are in our control. Growth comes to those who adapt, stay consistent, and engage meaningfully. 💡 Ready to take your growth into your own hands?

Make real connections. LinkedIn specifically and the internet in general are awash with machine-generated content. Google has already taken steps to punish poorly planned content-mill trash. What does this mean for sales and marketing folks? Human connection is more valuable than ever. I predict that the premium on it will continue to rise. People like buying from people. They like buying from people they like even more. They like buying from smart people they like the best. Think about it. Don't you feel better when a person on the other end of the line understands your problems and helps you solve them? AI, as powerful as it is, isn't going to change that any time soon. "When we are unsure of ourselves, when the situation is unclear or ambiguous, when uncertainty reigns, we are most likely to look to and accept the actions of others as correct." - Robert Cialdini, "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" This isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just means that social proof has real value. Remember that when creating content, campaigns, or selling. Make real, human connections. It pays off in the long run. Onward.

“You have <1k followers but your comments are 100” I got this text in my DM 3 days back. And it is true. My LinkedIn has been a growth slow (At least that's what I think) But that doesn't matter to me because it's thriving strongly I’m more than happy about that. → I never had a viral moment → I haven’t broken my comment section to 1000’s → I haven’t hit the glamorized “1M impressions” Also, I’m not a part of those wacky engagement pods. Still, each of my posts gets a pretty good engagement. “Pretty” is an understatement here. My secret? Focusing on interacting with people more. Putting people first instead of metrics. Since Day 1, I was clear with how I wanted to build here: → Be someone who knows something → Make it helpful for people to learn → Stay authentic by putting “me” in my posts → Focus on delivering content people truly need And by interacting with people, I mean these: → Taking time to reply to ALL comments → Having genuine conversations in the DMs → Sending a “Thank you” text on request acceptance → Going the extra mile & helping people who are stuck Now that might sound like a lot for some people But I assure you it’s not that hard. The X factor to my growth is I showed “care” to people Because after 45+ days of being active, I realized 1 thing: It’s people above the algorithm. That's how you hack the algorithm back. Strategies & commenting guides are great. But they are useless if you don’t put people first. Focusing on people behind those likes > focusing on likes. P.S. Do you think focusing on algorithms is important?
