tips for building expert status
Become an expert with your profile, it’s not hard. But you have to put in a little bit of work to achieve that. To do this, in the first place, you can post “content” regularly. Above all, it helps to give the “postings” of others a thumbs up and share them!
The best way to do this is to pick a niche, a targeted topic and post content about it regularly. People will associate you exactly with this specific topic after some time, you will then be perceived as an expert.
It is really important to post good content on the topic. If someone even has a contact who is looking for a topic, for example, they will then recommend you. This way you can get a good job!
We will now show you in 5 sub-points what else you can do:
- helpful content: help others with your profound knowledge!
- marketing tool: Dare to post for attention for your products.
- algorithm: it prefers “postings” with many “likes” and comments.
- monitoring: use analysis tools and measure your own performance
- format: brevity is the spice!
To 1. post your posts really regularly. Some even rely on fixed days in a fixed rhythm. You can post 1-5 times a week, a little more in the beginning. Visibility is generally 48 to 72 hours and then decreases.
Regarding 2. direct advertising is not a good idea. Avoid overly promotional content, PR comes naturally through good relationships. Prefer relevant information that helps your readers in their business. Tips and tricks or your favorite tools, this is content that will bring you valuable contacts.
Re 3, the algorithm likes anything that gets people talking, because it’s based on spotting candidates for “recruiters”. Furthermore, “hashtags” help you activate your readership, one puts a “#” right in front of relevant terms for this. You can also “tag” people by putting an “@” directly in front of their names. However, such “mentions” should really only be used in a targeted manner in order to prevent the content from being abstracted by artificial intelligence.
To 4. do you already use the address https://www.linkedin.com/sales/ssi ? If you call it up, you get a free impression of your own ranking. Your personal value reveals how well you generate relationships and where your brand lands in the “ranking”. From a value of 60, you are very good at it. Also note the data about your page views and the number of your “followers”!
Re 5. With around 1300 characters, you only have a certain number of words available for your “posting”. Keep the text as crisp as possible! A teaser at the beginning makes the reader curious and increases the click rate. The read rate in turn pushes the algorithm. Good images and especially 3-4 minute long videos increase the open rate and keep the reader on the post.
