ADVICE

Skip Verification If You Don't Trust It

  • Do not feel forced to verify your LinkedIn account if you distrust the process or partners involved.

ADVICE

Test When Your Audience Engages

  • Test post timing with your specific audience rather than relying on general 'best time' rules.
  • Scheduling posts is fine, but engage with comments after posting to maintain visibility.
