🎢 1 LinkedIn Growth Tip

Unfollow dead followers/connections

This is one of the biggest mistakes people make on LinkedIn.

See, when you have dead followers/connections in your profile:

  • It hurts your engagement
  • It will lead you towards slow growth
  • It tells the LinkedIn algorithm about the people you want in your network

So, why hurt our brand?

Instead, do this.

Unfollow 10 people every week from your followers or connections.

When you do this, here's what you will get:

  • True fans
  • Quality leads
  • Great network
  • Active followers
  • High engagement
  • Active connections

Yes, there will be a drop in followers/connection count.

And it doesn't matter.

Because it won't affect your growth.

Power of listicles

Most people won't read long paragraphs.

People also skim through the content.

And it's our job to make our content, easy to read.

When you use listicles, here's what happens:

  • You help readers to understand your content
  • You help readers to read 80% of your content
  • You help readers save their time with up-front value

Here's what it looks like:

Remember: More listicles, more value.


👀 Life Tip

Unrealistic expectations

I've seen and been with people who had expectations of me.

Some of those expectations were beyond what a human can do.

They needed me to:

  • Be perfect
  • Do what they say
  • Make sure I exceed the expectation

Is this possible?

Yes.

What's the price?

It's your energy.

Is it worth it?

If those expectations don't align with your vision, then they're not worth it.

Our lesson:

People can expect a million things from us. But if those expectations are not serving us well, it's time we ditch them.
