You just need to push beyond that basic profile summary and start being more strategic with your posts. It can be tricky to think of what to post, but here are some ideas to get you started.
One of the best ways to build your credibility and reputation as a thought leader is by sharing your expertise through the written word. But writing an impactful, engaging LinkedIn post that gets noticed among all the other noise on LinkedIn can be tough.
There are many ways to get attention on LinkedIn: you can pay for ads, create a beautiful LinkedIn profile, or spend hundreds of hours searching for people who could be interested in your product or services. However, if you want to connect with thought leaders as well as potential clients, you have to learn how to write posts on LinkedIn. Not only will this increase your brand's visibility, but in addition, it will help you reach out to potential customers and find new sales opportunities.

As you can see, there are plenty of opportunities to share your knowledge on LinkedIn.

As marketers, we all have to experiment with new content types to grow our businesses and personal brands. That’s usually where I begin when it comes to finding ideas for new posts, whether it's a blog post on my site or a piece of content on a social channel. And while I don’t put all my eggs in one basket, LinkedIn is the channel I have focused on since the inception of my personal brand marketing company, Social Fresh. My reasoning is simple—it just works.
One of the great things about LinkedIn is that it's designed for professionals to share their opinions and ideas on a variety of topics. There are some pretty good discussions happening online right now. Don't be afraid to join these discussions with comments of your own. From my experience, most people like receiving responses to their posts because it shows them that you've taken the time to read and process their material, which demonstrates your dedication and resourcefulness as a professional in this industry. These posts can help you position yourself as an authority in your niche as well, which can lead to job opportunities down the road or even connect you with other professionals who can refer you to work your way. A bit of effort spent here could reap big rewards later down the line.
You can use these ideas as inspiration or simply to get started. If you end up using any of these ideas, don’t forget to tag me!
