Here's how I (almost) reached 10k followers on LinkedIn

1. Post consistently. The algorithm loves consistency. Grab a schedule and stick to it.

2. Connect, connect, and connect. LinkedIn gives you a limited number of weekly connections. If you're just starting out, I'd suggest spending them all on your ICP or related connections.

3. Optimize your profile.

Good profile = more conversions (do this first).

If you have any questions, just let me know. Happy to share.

The magic of LinkedIn ads.

Unlike other platforms, ads usually feel salesy, and users scroll right past them.

But LinkedIn is different.

Since it's more of a "work" platform, people don't mind seeing ads. As long as they come with value and don't feel like a pitch.

That's why brands usually pay more to be featured on this platform, also because the audience quality tends to be higher.

My take: if your ad doesn't look like an ad at first glance, it will perform.

I started at Top 75% on Contra.

After consistently improving my profile and activity, I’m now in the Top 5%.

Next milestone: Top 1%.

For those who have already made that jump, what actually helped you move from Top 5% → Top 1%? I’d love to hear what made the biggest difference for you.

Hey Mereawi, congrats on Top 5% that's awesome!

Quick question though, does the ranking actually bring in more clients or is it more of a credibility thing? And if you could go back, what's the one thing you'd tell yourself NOT to do?

Would love to hear what's actually worked for you!
