Define Your Positioning Statement

Write one sentence that anchors everything: audience, outcome, and method. Example: “I help seed-stage founders turn investor feedback into go-to-market traction.” Use it to guide your headline, About, content topics, and outreach messages. Post yours below and invite peer feedback to sharpen it.

Choose Your Visual Cues

Select two or three repeatable elements—color accents, a simple post template, or a signature sign-off—that subtly cue your brand. Consistent visual hints make your content recognizable in busy feeds. Build a lightweight brand kit and share a snapshot to inspire others crafting their LinkedIn presence.

Maintain Tone Across Touchpoints

If your brand is practical and warm, keep that tone in comments, DMs, posts, and your About section. Readers should experience the same voice everywhere. Create a short style note for yourself—key phrases, do’s, and don’ts—and commit to it for thirty days. Tell us your chosen tone and why it fits.

Content That Builds Authority on LinkedIn

The 3-2-1 Content Rhythm

Each week, post three insights (how-tos or frameworks), two stories (wins or lessons), and one ask (poll, prompt, or invitation). This rhythm balances credibility, relatability, and engagement. Schedule your next week today, and subscribe for a simple calendar template we update monthly.

From Experience to Insight

Translate a real project into a principle: describe the challenge, the approach, and what others can reuse. A candid lesson often travels farther than polished victories. Share one experience today and end with a takeaway others can apply by Monday morning. Tag a colleague who helped shape the insight.

Use Native Formats Strategically

Mix documents for step-by-step carousels, short videos for demonstrations, and newsletters for deeper dives. Native formats make your ideas easier to consume. Test one new format this week, track saves and comments, and report your results in the thread so we can learn from each other.

Networking with Intention

Reference a recent post, shared interest, or specific challenge, then offer a thoughtful question or micro-win. When Devin messaged a product leader with a two-line test plan suggestion, the reply came in minutes. Draft a warm note today and invite a peer here to swap and improve scripts.

Networking with Intention

Comment early and meaningfully on posts your audience follows. Add one practical example or a clarifying question, not applause. Over time, consistent comments become discoverable proof of your thinking. Set a daily ten-minute comment window and share your favorite creators to follow for your niche.

Networking with Intention

Create a small roster of priority relationships and add monthly reminders to send a note, resource, or introduction. No pitch required—just helpful momentum. Build a simple spreadsheet and invite accountability partners below to keep the cadence going without awkwardness.

Leveraging Recommendations and Social Proof

Guide your referrer with three prompts: the problem, your approach, and the measurable outcome. Specifics beat praise. Send a short template to a colleague today and offer to write a draft they can edit. Share your favorite prompt in the comments to help others get great recommendations.

Leveraging Recommendations and Social Proof

Pin your best work in Featured—case studies, talks, press mentions, or frameworks. Add concise captions that state the outcome, not just the activity. Update Featured quarterly and invite your network to browse. Ask readers which example best demonstrates your value and why.

List the exact phrases your audience uses—job titles, tools, outcomes. Weave them naturally into your headline, About, and experience sections. Scan job descriptions and creator headlines for patterns. Share three keywords you will add this week and why they match your positioning.

Harness LinkedIn Search and SEO

Customize your public URL for clarity, add descriptive alt text to images, and fully complete Experience, Projects, and Licenses. These small steps improve clarity for humans and systems. Run a quick audit tonight and comment with one fix you implemented immediately.

Analytics, Experiments, and Momentum

Set Outcome-Based Metrics

Track signals tied to opportunity: inbound requests, qualified calls, newsletter signups, or community invites. Vanity metrics can help diagnose, but outcomes guide decisions. Build a simple dashboard and share your two primary success metrics for the next quarter.

Run Small Experiments

Test hooks, posting times, and content formats in two-week sprints. Document assumptions, results, and next steps. When Amira switched to problem-first hooks, saves doubled within a month. Share one experiment you will run next and invite a buddy here to compare notes.

Build a Sustainable Routine

Protect a 30-minute daily block: five minutes to plan, ten to comment, ten to publish or draft, five to follow up. Small, consistent effort beats occasional marathons. Commit in the comments to a start time and ask the community to hold you accountable.
