Hey folks,

Welcome to Week 2 of LockedIn on LinkedIn! šŸŽ‰

Last week, we focused on optimizing your LinkedIn profile so it represents the best version of you. Now, it’s time to take the next step: showing up consistently.

Posting consistently on LinkedIn is how you build momentum, grow your audience, and make sure the right people notice your work. But let’s be honest—starting can feel overwhelming.

The good news? You don’t need to post every day or overthink your content. Consistency isn’t about doing everything—it’s about doing something regularly.

Here’s how to make it happen:

Step 1: Start Simple

If you’re new to posting, don’t try to go from 0 to 100 overnight.

  • Commit to posting twice a week for the next month.

  • Choose days and times that work for you. (Pro tip: Pick mornings when LinkedIn engagement is typically higher.)

Example Post Ideas:

  • ā€œHere’s one small lesson I’ve learned recently that’s made a big difference in my work.ā€

  • ā€œThis week, I tried [new habit, tool, or strategy]. Here’s what happened.ā€

Step 2: Build Your Content Like a Story

A great LinkedIn post follows a simple structure:

1ļøāƒ£ Hook: Grab attention with a bold question, statement, or insight.

  • ā€œThe biggest mistake I made as a manager—and what it taught me.ā€

  • ā€œHere’s why most LinkedIn posts fall flat (and how to fix it).ā€

2ļøāƒ£ Story/Insight: Share your lesson, experience, or idea in 2-3 short paragraphs. Keep it conversational.

3ļøāƒ£ Call-to-Action: End with a question or invitation to engage:

  • ā€œWhat’s a lesson that’s stuck with you?ā€

  • ā€œHow do you approach [topic] in your work?ā€

Step 3: Get Comfortable with the ā€œCringeā€

Sharing your thoughts online can feel vulnerable—but that’s how real connections happen.

  • Embrace the imperfection: Your posts don’t need to be perfect; they just need to be honest.

  • Think of each post as practice: Every time you share, you’re improving your storytelling skills.

Mindset Shift:
ā€œYour content won’t resonate with everyone, and that’s okay. The right people will connect with it.ā€

Step 4: Plan Ahead to Stay Consistent

Consistency becomes easier when you plan your posts in advance.

  • Set aside 30 minutes each week to brainstorm ideas.

  • Create a simple content calendar with 2-3 posts per week.

  • Repurpose: Turn insights from your past work, conversations, or even comments into posts.

Example Weekly Schedule:

  • Monday: Share a personal story or lesson — keep it funny and light.

  • Thursday: Post a tip or resource your audience will find helpful.

Action Items for This Week

šŸ“ Write and post two LinkedIn updates: one story and one insight.
šŸ“… Spend 30 minutes creating a simple content calendar for next week.
šŸ’¬ Engage with at least 3-5 posts from others in your network—thoughtful comments build relationships.

Why This Matters:
Showing up consistently isn’t just about the algorithm—it’s about building trust and staying top of mind. When you post regularly, you’re not just growing your audience—you’re reinforcing your brand, your expertise, and your voice.

What’s Next?
Next week, we’ll explore content formats that help you stand out—from carousels to short videos—and how to experiment with them without feeling overwhelmed.

Let’s keep the momentum going! šŸš€
