Stop wondering if LinkedIn could work for you. Your expertise, experience and client results are content waiting to be shared. This platform brings opportunities, partnerships and sales to those who show up with intention. But showing up means more than scheduling posts and hoping for magic.
In 2024 I grew my LinkedIn from 7,000 to 30,000 followers by stopping with the random posts and focusing on these six specific moves. My ideal clients began saving my posts, sharing with their teams, and sliding into my DMs asking to work together. Real growth happens when you restart with intention.
The difference between staying invisible and building real influence on LinkedIn comes down to strategy. Get clear on yours and watch opportunities multiply.
Win at LinkedIn: 6 power moves to restart your growth
Own your unique angle
Most people copy what’s trending. They repost motivational quotes and share basic advice. Don’t play that game. Instead, pick the parts of your work that get you excited and geek out about those instead. Share what sets you apart.
Tell stories about client breakthroughs. Share your strong opinions and core beliefs. Break down your methods step by step. Talk about best stuff and trust that others can learn from your story. Your dream clients will thank you for showing them a new way forward.
Build your success squad
Growing alone makes everything harder. Find other creators at your level and support each other’s content. Share what’s working, celebrate wins, push through blocks. Five committed partners beat fifty random connections. Your LinkedIn crew can be the first few comments on your brand new posts to start the conversation and boost it for the algorithm.
Message people whose content you admire and set up monthly check-ins to review posts and brainstorm ideas. Keep each other accountable when motivation dips. Your support squad determines your success.
Start fresh with video content
Taking perfect videos stops you showing up at all. But your ideal clients want to see the real you, speaking from experience. Pick up your phone and press record. Share one lesson you learned the hard way. Keep it under 60 seconds.
Film in portrait mode. Look at the camera. No scripts, no fancy edits, just you talking about what you know with the pauses chopped out. Your authenticity beats someone else’s slick production every time. Make this easy by recording your client calls or podcast interviews, then have your assistant turn them into short videos.
Track your daily actions
Most people post and forget. They miss chances to learn what works. Create a simple system to track your LinkedIn wins, from profile views to messages. Find a low maintenance way of digging into the stats, because they show what your audience wants more of.
Keep consistent with most things (such as the time you post), only changing up one variable at a time. Otherwise you won’t know what worked. Pay attention to content that brings dream clients to your profile. Turn random posting into measured growth when you track what connects. The numbers don’t lie.
Collect your learning moments
Posts that flop teach valuable lessons. Messages that get ignored make you stronger. Failed launches point the way forward. To figure out how to play the game properly, start with the things that didn’t go to plan.
Save screenshots of updates that tank. Note which topics miss the mark. Study patterns in your content and adjust your strategy. Don’t take it personally. This isn’t about you. A failed post is no reflection of your intelligence or worth. It just means you need to show up in a slightly different way.
Create content boundaries
Random posting drains your energy and makes you feel like you’re selling out. Don’t do that. Pick three topics you could talk about forever and stick to those. Your ideal clients need to know exactly what you stand for. Make it easy for them to see your expertise.
Write down your content pillars and test different angles within each one. Get known as the go-to person for specific problems your audience faces. Your focused message attracts focused results. Reserve a space in the minds of your connections and they’ll always know how to introduce you.
Level up your LinkedIn presence: restart for serious growth
