7 LinkedIn Hacks That Are SO Good They Feel Illegal

I've spent over 4,265 th000 hours on LinkedIn and I've tested every growth hack that exists but the truth is 99% of them are useless so rather than wasting thousands of hours testing all the hacks that don't work I'm going to teach you the seven weird LinkedIn hack that helped me hit 180,000 followers the 1% of LinkedIn hacks that are so good they should be illegal so if you want to blow up your business in the next 12 months become an expert in your field and have famous entrepreneurs start following you I suggest you pay attention

now the first hack is one of my favorites because it can literally double or triple your views without any extra effort on your side 12 months ago my friends and I discovered this by accident and this is the first time I'm talking about it life so you probably never heard of it before it's called time zone hacking and this is how it works LinkedIn sends a notification to your followers every time you repost a post and what I noticed was that every time I repost 6 hours later the engagement on that post would increase by

up to 20% so basically if I was posting at 12:30 UK time which meant that the majority of my us audience was asleep or just getting ready for work I would then repost 6 hours later which gave me a second chance to reach them and gain slightly more engagement and a couple new followers from that time zone and every time I do this I get at least 10 new comments instantly but this timeon hack won't work if you use it on a bland piece of content however it can make you viral if you combine it

with a truly unique post which is where the second hack comes in because there's there's thousands of how-to content online blog post articles and even Chach PT can write that but there's only one how I piece of content and that comes from you the only person that can write that is the person that lift it you and people follow people for their unique insights not for something that can be found with a quick Google search so next time you write a post use your personal experience to write it let me show you how you can

turn the most boring typical piece of content into a personal and engaging piece using this exact same tip and we're going to use my slay framework to do just that let me show you now the slave framework is broken down into four key elements story lesson actionable piece of advice and a u I've chosen this pose that I literally just found on my feet to edit and this is what we ended up with after implementing this framework onto it we've taken it from just a simple announcement to an actually outstanding piece of content it works

like magic I promise but another way to stand out on LinkedIn is to become an expert in a specific Niche and the th hack is amazing for just that you see the number one mistake that LinkedIn creators make is that they do not repeat themselves enough they feel that they've already said it or even worse someone else already has said it but to become a true Authority in your Niche you need to be using the beta main Hub frequency bias here's how it works the more you post about one thing the more people will associate

you with that same thing so if you want to be known as the next productivity gr for example it makes sense that 80% of your content is productivity based and to consistently talk about it every single day same thing goes for your values if you have a specific value such as kindness then honing in on that through your content supports that same bias it reinforces your Authority on those topics in your audience's mind remember repetition don't write doesn't bore people it reinforces if you really want to reinforce your Authority and become a big boss in

that specific space in your Niche then you can make use of hack number four and when I realize it's power it blew my mind but before I revealed this key step I've left a free 20 plus page resource for you to download in the description it includes the seven weird tips that I'm talking about in this video plus a few extra to build grow and monetize your LinkedIn and while you're down there please like this video and hit the Subscribe button it helps the channel grow it makes me feel good and I can justify spending

over 4,000 hours analyzing LinkedIn content for absolutely no reason now hack number four blew my mind because human connection is everything and I think we all learned that the hard way during Co and that is always going to be the limit ation with the internet and social media particularly with written content the lack of human connection but back in February I understood how to combine the power of social media with human interactions using real time live streams and events see many people can fake being Pros via written content but live no chance by going live

you give your audience real life value by answering their questions and explaining your key topic of expertise but you also build trust because when you go live you audience gets to see the real you unscripted unedited and authentic this is so hard to replicate for anyone else that isn't you and it can be a gold mine for your business and if you're comfortable putting yourself out there in the aim of being authentic and taking this to the next level then hack number five is for you because LinkedIn recently released collaborative articles and they are all

the hype right now because if your mini article gets upbed then you win a nice batch of Honor that goes straight into to your profile it looks good it makes you look credible but that's not the hack that I'm talking about because while everyone is making an effort to look good and sound like an expert we might as well do the opposite and still win a nice little badge so how do we do that well you can gamify collaborative articles by entertaining people instead these articles have very serious questions and if you're a very serious

person then sure give your best political answer but if you're like me in proda PN interrupt it wakes people up you get them to stop think engage smile it works like a charm every single time just like this post or this one you inevitably smile or at least stop your scroll to see what's going on one thing I learned about LinkedIn is that people there want to laugh just like every other platform people just want to feel alive and like people it is a social media platform after all so do just that give them one

more reason to laugh that day take a collaborative article and write a light-hearted tip or story that compliments it not with the aim to get a badge but with the aim to entertain those who are watching this is literally how you turn lers into fans again your story personality and even the way you talk is everything online use it wherever you can because no one isse but what happens if you're posting all the content right and playing the LinkedIn game correctly but you still aren't getting any engagement on your post well you might need hack

number six because you could be Shadow bands so here's how you get out of this Shadow band go to your most recent post and see who's engaging with it message 5 to 10 of those people thanking them for their comment and maybe do some Li talk and remind them to hit your bell if they like your content or got any value from it this reinforces your connection as most of us don't really talk to our followers often and secondly you want to do this with new people who are active go to your LinkedIn feed and

scroll to see who's posting and if you're already connected with them do the same now every time you connect with someone new go through this exact same process this will Fast trck you out of getting from your potential Shadow band this isn't technically a hack but it does get traffic back to your profile and reminds people that you exist so when LinkedIn sees that more people are visiting your profile it will show it to more people it's literally how social media works and finally the question you have all been waiting for how can you get

your ideal clients celebrities and your favorite influencers to connect with you and comment on your posts well I personally use the sniper method you can make a list of Ideal clients or people you'd love to be seen by then every day you go to their profiles and comment on their content on time so if they post at 12:00 you need to be on their profile at 12 on the dot so you can be one of the first people to comment now here's a trick you can't just come up with something Bland the comment needs to

be insanely valuable because those comments start a sub conversation with the author of the post as well as With Their audience which can't get you hundreds of new likes and Views just like that and if it all works as planned you can connect with your ideal client straight away and if not you connect with the audience which gets you more visibility and grows your audience anyway and that then increases the chances of your ideal connection seeing you because their audience are all connected with you which then builds trust with your ideal Target and this is

exactly what happened to me I did this for months and eventually because my comments and content were so good my profile grew which led to more people engaging with it pushing me closer to these people in these networks increasing my chances of my post appearing on their daily morning LinkedIn scroll and then I connected with them remember to win online you need to make yourself valuable and the best way to do this is to show up daily and sincerely try to help your audience because that way you cannot fail when your intentions are pure you

will never lose but here's a catch if you're trying to build your business and generate leads there's one thing you need to set up up correctly otherwise all your new leads and connections will be for nothing so check out this video where I show you how to turn your LinkedIn profile into a lead generation machine see you there
