I created my LinkedIn account 47 weeks ago. Much easier algorithm to crack than X. Since then I’ve added $100,000+ to my agency pipeline, built ~9,000 connections, and logged 2.7M impressions. Use my system before they close the loopholes. Oh, and if you want the full cheat sheet (engagement group templates, carousel playbooks, DM workflows, etc) that's working right now just follow me + RT this post + reply with "LinkedIn Growth Guide" and I'll DM you. You must do all 3 to receive the DM. Alright, let's get into it. Here is what is working really well right now: Proof + perspective posts showing dashboards, receipts, client outcomes + your narrative behind how you achieved them. Metrics without context now under-perform. Story-first authority posts with personal lessons, client wins or learnings, micro-failures. These outperform pure how-to lists because they engage emotionally and intellectually. Comment-rich engagement because the algorithm now gives strong weight to posts where comments turn into discussions and where you engage in other people’s posts before and after publishing. Also, native text posts, carousels, native video are still preferred. External links in the main post body reduce reach. If you're going to go that route, at least change the image. Also, don't forget, posts that stay relevant can continue getting visibility weeks later, especially when repurposed or reposted with a fresh hook. Also noticing that regular engagement across 2-3 related niches helps you tap into overlapping networks and increases discovery. And I mentioned this last week, but reposting high-performers with new hooks works great still. After about 2-3 weeks you can safely revive your best posts with a new intro or angle and recapture strong engagement. My posting routine: I post 3 times per day, every day of the week. Skipping more than 36-48 hours hits reach noticeably. Morning: Text post with POV or proof-based story Afternoon: Carousel or annotated screenshot/case study Evening: Mini-thread, framework share, or quick lesson Formats pulling the most right now: Carousels: Slide 1 = bold headline tied to a pain point or result Middle slides = 3-5 steps or visuals or annotated screenshots Final slide = strong CTA (“Comment ‘guide’ if you want the SOP”) Short native videos: Under 60 seconds. Hook within first 3 seconds. Subtitles matter because the first line auto-previews. Show real processes or analytics, not just polished storytelling. Text / micro-threads: Start with a clear hook (question, claim or insight). Use short 1-2 line paragraphs. 3-5 bullet takeaways typically outperform long blocks. End with a question to invite replies. Proof breakdowns: Share a specific result or metric, then break down how you achieved it in 3-4 actionable bullets. Conversation-driven posts: Use open loops, invite opinions, pose provocative questions, or show counterintuitive insights to spark replies and comment-thread depth. What’s underperforming now: Posts with just a headline and no “how” behind the metric. One-liners without context or takeaway. External links in main post body (without proper build-up or a changed image). Long threads (>8 slides or tweets) that lose focus. Framework posts reused without showing the execution or outcome. Engagement & community strategy: Comment on 20+ posts per day with meaningful insight, not just “Nice post.” Like 50+ posts per day, prioritizing mutuals, active commenters and adjacent niches. Reply to every comment on your own posts within the first hour, early responses help signal relevance. Repost your top performing posts every 5-7 days with a fresh hook. DM 5-10 people per day with context-first value tied to something they posted. LinkedIn is placing higher weight on repeat engagement (same people showing up across your posts) and comment thread depth (back-and-forth replies). Hooks & angles converting right now: “I started this account 47 weeks ago. Here’s exactly what $100K in pipeline really looks like.” “This 7-slide carousel booked 3 high-value meetings in 48 hours. Slide 1 below.” “If I had to restart LinkedIn in 2025 from zero, here is the exact playbook I’d use.” “The 3-post-per-day system I use to generate consistent inbound leads.” “$X this month from LinkedIn posts. Here’s how I did it.” Whenever you use a hook like this, back it with proof, screenshots, client wins, analytics data. Otherwise credibility drops quickly. 30-day playbook: Post 3×/day (one of those posts must show a real result or metric). Comment on 20+ posts/day with substance. Like 50+ posts/day. Reply quickly to every comment on your posts (within 1 hour). Repost your best posts weekly with fresh hooks. DM 5-10 people/day with value-first messages tied to their recent activity. Track: impressions, comment thread depth, new leads and repeat commenters weekly. Systematically test hooks, formats, posting times. LinkedIn remains one of the most under-priced professional growth engines in 2025. Run this system for 30 days, screenshot your Day 31 results, tag me when inbound starts.
