Do you have social media lurkers silently engaging with your content? I’ve had my lurkers, and I say keep them coming because they have turned into my most profitable relationships (more on that in this episode).  We’ve been trained to go after the dopamine hit from likes and comments, but the folks who don’t publicly engage with your content are just as important (if not more) than the ones who do.  It’s time to embrace these followers, so in this episode, I’m stressing the importance of prioritizing quality engagement so you can gain a fresh perspective on engaging with your audience and fostering meaningful connections on social.  In this episode of the podcast, I talk about:  Why every business isn’t built for likes and comments Why engagement doesn’t equal interest Going deeper than surface-level social connections Private engagement metrics Stirring the pot to increase engagement …And More!   This Episode Was Made Possible By: Riverside All-in-One Podcast & Video Platform Visit Riverside and use the code DREA to get 15% off any Riverside individual plan.

Every year, LinkedIn continues to grab my attention for allllll the right reasons, and this year is going to be no different.  With all of the changes on LinkedIn, It’s hard to remember its early days of being more of a resume platform than a social media platform. It's become one of the largest specialized social platforms that businesses and creators are using to increase their engagement, grow their professional network, and showcase their authority by adding to the conversations that are already happening. There’s still so much potential on LinkedIn, so in this episode, I want to talk about the latest updates and features, share my strategy for this coming year, and give you some insight on how you can take advantage of LinkedIn’s algorithm so you can start showing up and getting noticed.
