And here we have my thoughts: π
Thought #1: Controversial posts might work really well
If you have a bold statement about something which is not mainstream thinking make a post about that.
Why?
Because there will be a lot of people who will disagree with you. And that's great, because:
- they'll comment on your post
- they'll reply to your comments
- they'll generate views for you
It's a win-win deal. You'll stand for your statement while others might give traffic from people who weren't familiar with your content earlier.
Thought #2: The algorithm is unknown
In the past week, I was off for an entire Thursday and Friday, while my 3rd best-performing post was published on Thursday.
- I wasn't able to reply to the comments
- I didn't engage with others
- I literally didn't open LinkedIn
The lesson?
If your content is good enough you don't need to warm the algorithm to have a good reach.
Thought #3: Call to comment
LinkedIn is all about the comments.
Leaving a good "call to comment" sentence at the end of the post might be a great way to encourage your audience to make a conversation.

Twitter stats in detail

- Highest Impressions: 67 (+18%) β
- Total Followers: 54 (0%)
- 0 New Followers (-100%)π»
And here we have my thoughts: π
Thought #1: No engagement. No growth.
It's impossible to grow on Twitter without engaging with bigger accounts. Β It's the one and only to gain more followers.
Thought #2: First audience
After those 2 weeks on Twitter with more time spent on the platform, I can say that I do have 2-3 people who support my content.
I know it's not a lot... but it's a pretty good number bearing in mind that I have 50 followers.
It works the same in the other way. I also support their content.
All of them are accounts with really good content and less than 1,000 followers.
I use Tweet Hunter π to get Twitter analytics, schedule my tweets, and get inspiration (it's an affiliate link, but feel free to remove the part after ?
