1/ Define your positioning. Who is your target audience? What's your main goal? 2/ Optimize your profile. You can use my free checklist. 3/ Send connection requests without pitches. Accept connection requests. 4/ Comment on others' content. 5/ Post content. If your current posts don't get enough attention, do #1-4 and try to change the format of your posts. Try free templates, infographics, or entertaining content. 6/ Respond to thoughtful DMs. 7/ Create intersections between other channels. - If you already have an audience on Twitter, invite them to connect with you on LinkedIn. - Share your link on Product Hunt/other channels. - Visit podcasts and mention that you're active on LinkedIn. No rocket science. But It can be difficult in the beginning. And consistency is your best friend. What questions do you have?

Hey @olenabomko ! How long did it take you to build such an audience ? 2 - 3 years ?
Olena Bomko
@mathis_vella 3 years. But I started from 0. With bad English. I received my first proposal after 3 months.
Great tips! Glad to have you in my network, Olena!

Thanks for sharing Olena! I really enjoy reading your content. The way you simplify things makes it easy to consume and remember. Any tips on what to look for when hiring a social media/LinkedIn manager?
Olena Bomko
@iskandarchacra Thank you! 1/ She/He is an active LinkedIn member, so they understand how it works (+ to be a good example/supporter/teacher for your team). 2/ Don't start with 10 channels simultaneously. Start with 1 channel and dominate it. Then add another.
