When it comes to LinkedIn strategy, most creators are playing checkers while the pros are playing chess. In our latest conversation with LinkedIn expert Jasmin Alić, we uncovered how the platform is evolving and what it really takes to build an engaged community that generates consistent results.
Here are the top insights that could transform your LinkedIn presence:
Think the first impression of your post doesn't matter? Think again. LinkedIn only shows three lines in the feed preview, and according to Jasmin these lines need to contain your entire value proposition. "If you fail there," he explains, "no one's even going to be able to read the rest of the post." The key? Make your hook one line, use a strategic space, and ensure your second line works in harmony with the first.
Despite LinkedIn's push toward video, text-only posts are still crushing it. In fact, Jasmin revealed they often outperform image posts. Why? It comes down to dwell time and meaningful engagement. When people spend time reading and responding to your content, LinkedIn's algorithm takes notice.
Ever wonder why some people's content feels more authoritative? It's what Jasmin calls "signposting" - strategically weaving your expertise into your content without bragging. Instead of writing generic advice, share how you learned it through experience. This builds trust naturally and makes your content unique.
Here's a counterintuitive gem: starting posts with niche-specific language can actually limit your reach. Jasmin's solution? Begin with universal problems or insights that anyone can relate to, then dive into your niche-specific examples later in the post. This approach keeps readers engaged while expanding your potential audience.
Most people treat comments as an afterthought. Jasmin treats them as the main event, regularly generating over 1000 comments per post. His secret? Structured engagement time, strategic questions, and what he calls "pin commenting" - using comments to add extra value and drive deeper discussions.
Worried about lower reach? Jasmin shared a perspective shift: it's not necessarily about having a smaller audience. Instead, LinkedIn has changed how content is distributed. Posts might show up fewer times in feeds, but they're reaching similar numbers of unique viewers.
"You don't need to sell in your content to sell from your content," Jasmin insists. By focusing on delivering value and building trust through expertise, sales happen naturally. This approach has kept his coaching business booked six months in advance.
Success on LinkedIn isn't about being online 24/7. Jasmin dedicates specific time blocks for engagement - what he calls his "LinkedIn hour." This structured approach helps maintain consistency without letting the platform consume your day.
Want more comments? Ask better questions. But here's the catch - they need to be easy to answer. Instead of asking for life stories, start with simple yes/no questions that encourage elaboration.
Building a community isn't about posting and hoping for the best. It's about creating conversations that continue long after you've shared your content. Use pinned comments for behind-the-scenes insights, bonus tips, and Q&As that keep people coming back.
These insights barely scratch the surface of what Jasmin shared in our conversation. Whether you're just starting on LinkedIn or looking to level up your presence, there's something here that could transform your approach to the platform.
