The last thing you need right now is for a post to go viral

And you are pretty much guaranteed one result if your post goes viral

Nothing!

That's it, nothing will happen

People still seem to live by this lie that somehow by posting on social the phone will ring more

It won't

And impressions, views, likes and comments cannot be banked

But you can increase the certainty that what you do on social converts to revenue?

Here are 10 things you can be doing right now that will make you a success on social

No fluff. No hacks

Just 10 things I’ve seen work time and time again, whether you’re an exec, a job seeker, a content creator, or just someone who wants to be taken seriously on this platform

🟡 1. Your profile is your storefront. People judge. Make it count
🟡 2. Don’t wait for a fancy title. Start now. The best time to show up was yesterday
🟡 3. Comments matter. You don’t have to post every day. Add value to other people’s conversations
🟡 4. Be curious. Read more than you write. That’s how you stay relevant
🟡 5. Share like a student, not a preacher. What are you learning? Share that
🟡 6. Give first. Help others. Recommend. Support. Then you’ve earned the right to ask
🟡 7. Show up regularly. It’s not about going viral. It’s about being remembered
🟡 8. Don’t be afraid of DMs. That’s where the real conversations happen
🟡 9. Mix it up. Try text. Try video. Try a longer post. Test what clicks
🟡 10. Know your angle. What do you want to be known for? Start shaping that today

Remember that Linkedin is a social network not a sales network

People want to connect with people, they don't want brands or commission breath 

The more you look like you are about to pounce of somebody for a sale, the more they will avoid you

In a world where everyone’s shouting, value beats volume. Every. Single. Time
