How To Get 1M+ Impressions on LinkedIn
Friday Edition
Magic Trick #23 for you -
Gurus will tell you reaching 1M+ people on LinkedIn will take you forever.
Or worse? Their courses and coaching will help you do so.
Here’s the truth - You Can easily hit 1M mark every year.
My numbers past 365 days
When you look at it - 1M/365 days is just < 2800 impression per post.
And I am easily doing 2x per post.
My impressions per post in the last 7 days
Here’s 3 ways how -
1/ Pick a topic no one is talking about
Play smart here
Search for topics that people are talking about.
There’s a trend where everyone is hovering around the basics.
Become attractive.
Talk about Step 2. Talk specific. Talk about things that are a little more complicated.
For instance -
The world talks about need of engagement on LinkedIn.
I talk about how engagement affects your daily impressions.
Naturally, makes my content appealing.
2/ Engage at every timezone.
Your impressions need to be flying every hour.
This happens only when your content is appreciated by people opening LinkedIn on all hours.
Do yourself a favour and analyse when does a certain creator open and write their post.
Find 5 each at 4 different timezones. Engage with them.
My preference - EST, AST, IST, PST.
3/ Go all in when you know its working
We often don’t realise when experimentation needs to stop.
You never test 5 different things at a time.
You test 1 factor against another everytime and collect enough sample to make a call.
Here’s how I decided to upload picture of myself (no caption on the picture) with content at 9:11 AM BST everyday -
I tested timing first.
Posted at every time there is and felt most comfortable and more visible here @ 9.11 AM.
Then I tested different content at 9:11 AM, found pictures > carousels > infographics > texts.
Next, I uploaded pictures with caption on it and without it.
Finally, based on my result decided on the first.
Took me good 3 months to get it right.
Takes time.
Once you do this - I assure you hitting jackpot isn’t tough.
You’ll easily do 1M+ impression each year.
To put this in context -
That’s 13 stadiums with 72,000 people in each of them.
Your own mini Eras Tour.
EVERY YEAR.
Do it.
