Since mid-January, I have started a particularly intense LinkedIn content media strategy. Today, I’m doing between 50K and 100K views per week, spending only 30 minutes per day on it. Probably one of my tasks where the 20% marketing efforts for the 80% results is the most significant. In this LinkedIn content case study, there’s no magic formula. No hidden tricks to improve your engagement on LinkedIn. Just common sense and a well-tested process. Welcome to the behind-the-scenes look at my LinkedIn content creation! 😉

 

LinkedIn Content Case Study: 6 Easy Steps to Publish Your Posts!

1. Coming Up with the Ideas to Make a LinkedIn Post

Before I decided how often I would write a post, I asked myself 🤔

“With all the material I have in mind, how many posts, can I write? And so, How long, can I last with a frequency of 3 to 5 posts per week?”.

The idea was to have 3 months of specific content in front of me (the exact topics of the posts) and another 3 months of ideas to refine.

So, I started by creating a Google Doc with all my ideas in raw form. I had been wanting to publish on LinkedIn for a long time and being fairly creative, I quickly surpassed 50 or so topics, some of which could be covered in multiple posts.

I then asked the rest of the team if they had any ideas, and I got about 20 more topics. So, here I am with 100 publications to write.

 

2. Writing LinkedIn Publications

Here we are in the second and most important phase of content creation on LinkedIn: writing the posts. 😁

Using the Right Publication Rate:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had to find a style for myself. A format that was readable and fairly quickly recognizable. So, I followed Benoit Dubos’ article on Groowster.com to the letter for the format of my posts. Something airy, with emojis and short sentences.

That’s it, I was ready to write. ✍️

 

Optimizing Your Time:

At Waalaxy, we’re a small team. 6 people as I write this. 🪶 So in my daily missions, I have to manage a bunch of things (administrative, product design, prospecting, potential customers and prospect follow-up…).

I wanted to run a good content strategy on LinkedIn that was my own and not delegate it to another person on the team. So, my time had to be optimized.

However, to be efficient in the variety of tasks we have, we got into the habit of doing work sprints by theme (X days to improve your website, X days to write articles, etc.). I then decided to spend 1 day every 3 weeks to write my content on LinkedIn and schedule it with an adapted tool (Hootsuite in this case, which gives me 30 scheduled posts for free).

1 day for tens of thousands of views, it’s clearly worth it.

 

3. Use Pods, in a Smart Way

I’m not hiding from it. The use of pods is controversial, but for me, it is perfectly assumed. I only use automated pods, because of time constraints. If you don’t know what a pod is, check this article. It’s a technique to consider in your social media engagement on LinkedIn. 🎯

Why deprive yourself of using analytics tools that can increase your impressions on this social media platform by 10 or even 50 times?

Like any automation, you have to use it wisely. Because no one wants to see 30 “Great article” on these posts (the basic comments offered by the current tools). So, I created a Google Sheet with upcoming posts.

For each one, I add: 👇

  • My first comment, with outgoing link for example (See “good practices to publish on LinkedIn”) or people identifications (that you can’t do with Hootsuite or a posteriori on a post).
  • The comments I want to receive.

This second point is quite time-consuming and requires a bit of imagination. I spend 2–3 hours writing credible comments for 15 posts, then ask the rest of the team to each add a few.

My ideal is to have 15 pre-written comments per post, 5 of which are very complete. These 5 comments provide real thought that goes along with my post, or the other way around.

 

4. Increase the Reach of LinkedIn Publications

This point is more of a parallel process than a real step. There are two essential best practices: ⏬

  • If you want natural engagement on your publications, be cleaver. Take sides, even if it means toning it down via comments afterward. When you touch on the audience’s beliefs, they are more readily willing to engage, to go against or with you. So, comment and increase your reach.
  • Publish at the right times. Personally, I publish every business day between 10 and 11 am. These are the hours known to have the “best” reach. I also schedule posts that I consider to have the best potential for Tuesdays and Thursdays, known as “the best days.”

 

5. Manage, Publish and Distribute

Once all the posts are written, scheduled and pre-commented, it’s time to manage the distribution.

That is: 👇

  • Manually start engagement on one’s post (because at the time of writing, Podawaa does not exist, and competing tools do not allow scheduling). That is, take the post link, put it on the pod tools, copy/paste the prepared comments, add the first comment with outgoing link.
  • Reply to comments. This part is essential, as it creates interaction with the audience (more comments therefore views, but also contact with real people, which is the goal in the end).

 

Tips Used in this LinkedIn Content Case Study:

  • I post every day 10 minutes later than the day before. The reason? Lempod doesn’t let me add a post every less than 24 hours (#active user experience). The time to add the link of the post, I then take a margin of 10 minutes each day to be able to engage from the publication the next day. (Another trick is to delete the post of the day before on Lempod)
  • I have an alarm at publication times, so I don’t miss adding my link to the pods. It’s the initial engagement that counts the most!

 

6. Take the Feedback and Iterate

Once you have your first few posts published and your social media strategy is up and running, you need to adjust it. To each his own, but remember to take audience feedback and see which posts worked best to analyze the “patterns” and reuse them. 🤩

I’m only at the beginning of my content strategy (3 months of posts is pretty short) but the best results are already there! Contact me on LinkedIn if you want to discuss this or follow my content on LinkedIn! 😊

 

So, How Do you Post on LinkedIn and Get 75K Views Per Week?

At Waalaxy, we’ve adopted an “Avengers strategy”. 🦹 The goal was to tame LinkedIn’s algorithm to appear in our target audience’s news feed ALL THE TIME. 👇

If you want some examples of this method, here is a sneak peek of our top results in 2022:

  • In this publication, we had 277,476 impressions. That’s just insane! 🤯 this is due to several reasons, interesting piece of content: principles of “growth hacking”, “inbound marketing” techniques of big brands. A universal topic: fitness as a new year’s goal, for example. Plus, an attractive visual and a well-structured copywriting, using the principle of telling a “success story”.

 

  • In this example, we can see the evolution we had in terms of number of views: from 57 K to 111,389 views per post! 👀 Isn’t that amazing? So, here’s the secret recipe behind this success: Publish regularly, if possible a rhythm of 2–3 times a week is ideal. Create a quality content strategy based on a series of posts, such as “SEO (natural search) Received Idea #1, 2, 3, etc.” This way, your audience will be intrigued and want to follow along as you post. 😉

 

  • Finally, consider posting using “tags” and “hashtags” to boost the visibility and awareness of your posts! ✨ This is a huge “hack” that can help you multiply your views on LinkedIn, very easily. Also, consider adding images, carousels, native video content, etc. to make your post have high engagement levels.
