Commenting
Create a spreadsheet of
creators in your niche.
Make sure they are active
creators.
Comment on their posts daily.
But don't comment any old
crap.

What to comment?
I follow these three rules
Elaborate on the post

Make a joke

Benefits of commenting
View comments as "mini-posts".
You can get lots of eyeballs and
convert these to followers.
Other creators will appreciate
your commenting and will
reciprocate on your posts!

CONNECTING

Connecting
Connect with 10 active
LinkedIn members each day.
Send personal connection
requests to people.
Don't follow a template, make
the invites really personal
DO NOT spam connect,
LinkedIn WILL punish you!

How to make it personal?
Search their LinkedIn account
to find a personal topic to
connect on.
Check their posts, what do
they talk about?
Check their commenting
activity, what do they share?
Check their previous
employment, what is their
experience?
Brought to you by

Add value to your connections.
Offer them advice on their
account or their posts.
A network isn't just a number in
your analytics.
It's building relationships with
lots of people.

have really struggled to create
content.
Days where I questioned my
journey.

and pushed through.
