Here's how I got 90K views on LinkedIn in the past week.
I posted every single day, replied to every comment, and focused on two types of content: entertaining and informative.
For entertaining posts, I leaned into 1-liners. They stand out on a platform that takes itself too seriously, and people can't help but engage with them.
For informative posts, I kept it simple: short sentences, straight to the point, no buzzwords, no jargon.
That's the formula: short sentences, real value, genuine engagement. Do that consistently and the views will follow.
52K members reached? Nice! I'd be willing to say engaging with people is a huge component in growth.
Most creators and coaches overlook their profile banner. Yet it is one of the first things people notice.
Your banner should be clean, mobile friendly & aligned with your brand.
Not cropped or hard to read.
Most LinkedIn content is viewed on mobile.
When your banner breaks on smaller screens, it hurts credibility.
I created an Instant LinkedIn Banner Size Guide.
Many banners look fine on desktop but fail on mobile.
A blurry or misaligned banner can cost trust, especially for founders and solopreneurs.
Your banner is your first impression.
It should show:
• What you do
• Who you help
• Why someone should connect
Quick tips:
• Keep text and logos centered
• Add a clear tagline
• Include a simple CTA
• Use social proof
A few pixels should not cost you opportunities.
If you want help reviewing your banner, feel free to reach out.
Such an underrated detail. Most people treat banners like decoration when they’re actually positioning tools. Cropping issues quietly damage credibility more than people realize.
I deleted LinkedIn. Not because I don’t believe in networking. Not because I don’t value opportunity. But because I value my mental health more.
So I logged off.
If LinkedIn energizes you, amazing. But if it exhausts you, it’s okay to choose your peace.
Do you have it?
