Connection Accepted

I got 3.3 million impressions on LinkedIn in 12 weeks. Here's the entire playbook.A few months ago, I was deep in the trenches of content creation, trying to promote a travel startup. Instead of listening to the "gurus," I treated LinkedIn like a human platform. I posted 4.5 times a day. I commented strategically. I focused on emotion, not just buzzwords.The result was 3.3 million impressions in 12 weeks and 10,000 new users for the startup. I proved that LinkedIn is exploding beyond just a job board… it's the next TikTok. In this video, I broke down the exact, no-fluff strategy I used, covering both the LinkedIn-specific tactics and the non-obvious mindset shifts you need to win.If you're tired of generic social media advice, this conversation is the tactical playbook you need.Find Daniel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannygreenberg/Go to connectionaccepted.com and put in your email if you want to be in a future creator help hotline episode.For sponsorships or business inquiries reach out to connectionaccepted@gmail.comJoin Matt & I as we build a $10M Podcast: Subscribe on YouTubeListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3oeHvC5O1oSqIw428DpTHX?si=wy5JJTUvQ96a01xoRqeHGListen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/connection-accepted/id1844434065 Our LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/connection-accepted/
