Why LinkedIn is the Hidden Opportunity You Can’t Ignore
Most bloggers and small business owners think LinkedIn is only for suits and corporate ladder climbers. But Louise shared a surprising truth:
✅ People on LinkedIn have money to spend — and they’re looking for new hobbies, services, and products. ✅ Less competition — Only 2% of LinkedIn users post content! ✅ Engaged audiences — These aren’t passive scrollers. LinkedIn users are more likely to buy, connect, and hire.
If you’ve been hit hard by Google updates or you’re frustrated with Instagram’s algorithm, LinkedIn offers a fresh place to be seen and heard — especially if you’re creative, independent, or selling digital products.
How to Start Growing Your Business on LinkedIn
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel to succeed on LinkedIn. Here’s Louise’s simple, powerful strategy:
1. Optimize Your Profile
Think of your LinkedIn profile as your storefront. Louise recommends making it immediately clear:
- Who you help
- How you help them
- What action you want them to take next (hint: link to your freebie, blog, or store)
Pro Tip: Your profile should focus more on your audience’s needs than your own resume.
2. Post Just Twice a Week
Unlike Instagram or TikTok where you need to post daily, LinkedIn works best with just 1–2 posts a week. Some ideas:
- Share quick tips or advice related to your niche.
- Ask engaging questions that invite comments.
- Tell short stories that connect to your brand.
👉 Important: Don’t spam with links! Instead, draw people to click through to your profile, where they’ll find all your goodies.
3. Use LinkedIn Newsletters
Louise dropped a golden tip: Create a LinkedIn Newsletter.
- Every new connection is invited to subscribe.
- You can include links to your blog, freebies, and products inside the newsletter.
- Best of all, newsletters get sent to subscribers’ email inboxes — not just buried in LinkedIn feeds.
Imagine growing a second email list on autopilot!
