Reposting LinkedIn posts

"What? Reposting?"

Well yes, not others' posts. But your post.

My impressions and engagement go up after each repost. Let me explain.

Let's say you posted at 3 PM. Whoever's awake and available at that time will see and engage in your posts.

What about those who are awake and available at 9 PM only? Don't you think they should see our posts too?

(Of course, who doesn't? Right?)

That's why you should repost.

Here's how you do it!

​
Actionable tip

1. Post your official post.
​Go ahead and post your weekly or daily posts.

2. Repost after 6 hours.​
Yes. This is the ideal period for your repost. Just click the "repost" option and share.

3. Delete the repost after 24 hours.​
Make sure to delete your repost once you pass the 24-hour mark. We don't want to spam our feed with reposts. It won't look good.

The key here is to have more people see your post.

So, are you reposting already?

Removing adjectives

I remember my English teacher giving me more marks because I used shiny adjectives.

But when we look at copywriting or just writing on the internet, it says otherwise.

Even Hemingway said, " Minimal adjectives." He suggested if you cut down two words into one, your writing flows better.

So I tried it myself and discovered something interesting...

With the adjective: “She quickly ran from the scene.”
Without the adjective: “She sprinted from the scene.”

"Quickly" and "ran" is the same. So change it to "sprinted."

Done. I saved a word.

Let's see how you can do the same.

​
Actionable tip

Let's focus on making just one sentence better.

1. Find a long sentence.​
Let's say you've written a post. Pick up a long sentence that has one adjective.

2. Find that adjective and change it into one word.​
"Slowly walked" → "Strolled"
"Loudly shouted" → "Yelled"
"Quickly ran" → "Sprinted"
"Hard hit" → "Punched"

3. Check your final sentence.​
Re-read your sentence after shortening it. Sounds good now? Then work on the next sentence.

Remember, the objective of removing adjectives is to make your lines shorter, and simple.

The change is subtle but makes a whole lot of difference.

Next time you write your post. try limiting adjectives in your content and watch how it feels!

4Ts of Relationships

Last year, I was casually reading about why some relationships thrive while others struggle.

I came across something simple, but it made a lot of sense - the 4Ts.

To maintain everyone's sanity, let's keep married couples' relationships as an example.

Time → Relationships take time to learn, grow and understand one another.
Touch → The connection - whether it's a thoughtful gift, or quality time spent.
Trust → Knowing your partner has your back, and you feel safe with them.
Talk → A two-way street act. Not just talking, but listening actively.

Let's see how we can put this into action!

Actionable Tip

Take a moment to think about your relationship.

1) Is there one of the 4 Ts that needs some attention?
2) Has it been some time since you had a meaningful conversation?
3) Or perhaps you’ve both been so busy that quality time has taken a backseat?

Once you've found which of T is lacking, pick one and focus on it this week.

Here are a few examples:

Time → Spend 15 minutes after dinner to talk about your day.
Touch → Surprise your partner with their favourite food. Do new things every week.
Trust → Start your day honestly. Be there for your partner in high and low times.
Talk → Talk about your plans for the next 6 months. No distraction, no judgment.

And you can always get creative with this!

Remember, if one of Ts isn't strong, you can easily notice the friction between you and your partner.

A strong relationship is built with effort, and sacrifice. So, start showing small actions.
