Takeaways

• Engage with comments on your own posts and on other people’s posts to build relationships and expand your network.
• Frequency of posting is flexible, but consistency is key. Replying to comments on LinkedIn posts is important, especially for thoughtful and insightful comments.
• Engaging with other creators’ posts can help expand your reach and build relationships.
• Using carousels and images in posts can increase visibility and engagement.
• Avoid including links in posts to maximize reach, but consider using them in comments to drive traffic and build relationships.
• Engaging with comments can lead to valuable insights and growth opportunities.
