I told myself to stop being awkward and not socializing with anyone. So I grabbed a drink from the bar in order to give myself some confidence.

They were coming out to a company page on LinkedIn. I started posting them manually to my personal LinkedIn page.

I was getting around 200,000 impressions per week on LinkedIn. I saw that a bunch of friends were getting extreme success posting every day on LinkedIn, so I started posting.
I was already posting once a day. I started posting three to 10 times a day.
And note that the trajectory is way steeper because I was posting three to 10 times a day...
impressions. Post the same video on TikTok, the same video on YouTube shorts.
Here's a pure text post about M dashes. There's not even an image on it.
It has 53,000 impressions. This one, I use an image.
It was three weeks ago. About how LinkedIn is insane.
55,000 impressions. If you can post consistently one time a day, you will find that LinkedIn is a crazy gold mine that everybody is sleeping on.
