Post ideas can come from anywhere. And you probably don't have a problem thinking of them ... but you DO have a problem remembering them.

Here are a few ways I keep track of post ideas:

1. Notes App

-It's not sexy and doesn't use AI, but I have a note labeled "LinkedIn Ideas" that I've been using for years. An idea comes up, I search "LinkedIn" in the app, and I write down the idea.

2. Screenshots AND LinkedIn Album

-A lot of people take screenshots of post ideas, but have you created a "LinkedIn posts" album on your phone? It's easy to snap a pic and move it to the album immediately for quick access.

3. Shield Analytics

-I've tried all the paid analytics platforms out there, and Sheild is my favorite. [No, they do not sponsor me.] I like to sort my posts from 90+ days ago in order of most and least impressions. The "most" are definitely repeat post ideas. The "least" make me ask - "How can I edit this post to make it more effective?" That's IF I still stand by the post idea.

I don't want to be another newsletter in your inbox. I want to be an actionletter. In every edition, I'll include a "Go-and-Do" [below] to help you take an action step TODAY that improves your LinkedIn™ perormance, your business, or even your life.

The Go-and-Do:

Pick one system today and set it up.

For example, if you like the Notes App idea, open your phone, create a note titled LinkedIn Ideas, and add your first post idea right now. If the screenshot method resonates, make a new photo album called LinkedIn Posts and move one screenshot into it.

The key is to start small, choose just one method, and actually set up the system so your next idea has a place to live.

What to Post on LinkedIn When You Have No Ideas

You do not have an ideas problem. You have a capture problem. Ideas come to you in the shower. In the pickup line. At 11pm when you are half asleep. Then you sit down Tuesday morning with a blank screen and nothing. The idea was never the issue. You just had nowhere to put it. Here are the 3 systems I use. None cost money. None require you to add anything to your tech stack. 1. One note in your...

How to Find the Stories That Should Anchor Your Brand

My best posts are almost always stories. That does not mean every post should be a story. It means you should know your stories cold, because the stories you repeat become your brand. I call mine cornerstone stories. Here are my 3: 1. I was a broke single mom when I came to LinkedIn. 2. I watched my dad go from poverty to millionaire. 3.
