Hey folks,
Welcome to Week 2 of LockedIn on LinkedIn! š
Last week, we focused on optimizing your LinkedIn profile so it represents the best version of you. Now, itās 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 letās be honestāstarting can feel overwhelming.
The good news? You donāt need to post every day or overthink your content. Consistency isnāt about doing everythingāitās about doing something regularly.
Hereās how to make it happen:
Step 1: Start Simple
If youāre new to posting, donāt 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:
āHereās one small lesson Iāve learned recently thatās made a big difference in my work.ā
āThis week, I tried [new habit, tool, or strategy]. Hereās what happened.ā
Step 2: Build Your Content Like a Story
A great LinkedIn post follows a simple structure:
1ļøā£ Hook: Grab attention with a bold question, statement, or insight.
āThe biggest mistake I made as a managerāand what it taught me.ā
āHereās why most LinkedIn posts fall flat (and how to fix it).ā
2ļøā£ Story/Insight: Share your lesson, experience, or idea in 2-3 short paragraphs. Keep it conversational.
3ļøā£ Call-to-Action: End with a question or invitation to engage:
āWhatās a lesson thatās stuck with you?ā
āHow do you approach [topic] in your work?ā
Step 3: Get Comfortable with the āCringeā
Sharing your thoughts online can feel vulnerableābut thatās how real connections happen.
Embrace the imperfection: Your posts donāt need to be perfect; they just need to be honest.
Think of each post as practice: Every time you share, youāre improving your storytelling skills.
Mindset Shift:
āYour content wonāt resonate with everyone, and thatās 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 ā keep it funny and light.
Thursday: Post a tip or resource your audience will find helpful.
Action Items for This Week
š Write and post two LinkedIn updates: one story and one insight.
š
Spend 30 minutes creating a simple content calendar for next week.
š¬ Engage with at least 3-5 posts from others in your networkāthoughtful comments build relationships.
Why This Matters:
Showing up consistently isnāt just about the algorithmāitās about building trust and staying top of mind. When you post regularly, youāre not just growing your audienceāyouāre reinforcing your brand, your expertise, and your voice.
Whatās Next?
Next week, weāll explore content formats that help you stand outāfrom carousels to short videosāand how to experiment with them without feeling overwhelmed.
Letās keep the momentum going! š
