Deep dives
Maximizing Reach Through Consistent Posting
Consistent posting on LinkedIn is crucial for increasing visibility and engagement. Research indicates that posting at least once a week can lead to four times more reach compared to those who do not post. To achieve better visibility, it is recommended to post more frequently, ideally five times a week, focusing on weekdays when engagement is higher. Insights suggest that text-only posts, which encourage conversation, tend to perform exceptionally well in terms of engagement.
Leveraging Thought Leadership Ads
Thought leadership ads on LinkedIn offer a unique opportunity for companies to build brand equity by sponsoring posts from authoritative figures. This approach emphasizes the importance of connecting with individuals rather than brands, aligning with current consumer preferences. Testing shows that these ads can enhance engagement significantly, though direct conversion to sales may take longer. For example, a recent campaign spent a modest budget but resulted in substantial interactions, underscoring the potential long-term benefits of such strategies.
Creating Valuable Video Content
Video content plays a significant role in enhancing online presence, particularly on LinkedIn. A weekly video series called 'Brooke Bites' shares quick tips on social media customer care and has been well-received, demonstrating the effectiveness of brief, informative videos. The content not only serves to establish the creator as an expert but also engages the audience with actionable insights. Each video includes calls to action, encouraging viewers to connect for more information or assistance, which helps in gradually building professional relationships.
Utilizing Newsletters for Increased Engagement
LinkedIn newsletters provide a valuable platform for sharing content and connecting with a broader audience. By repurposing blog articles into newsletter format, one can maintain consistent engagement with existing followers while reaching new subscribers. The newsletters offer the added benefit of appearing in subscribers' inboxes, increasing the likelihood of content being seen. This approach not only boosts visibility but also presents opportunities for direct engagement through strategically placed calls to action.
