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.

The Uncomfortable Answer to "How Do I Grow on LinkedIn?"

"How do I get more profile views?" The answer is one word. Work. Nobody wants to hear it. Everyone wants the hack, the hook formula, the AI prompt, the posting time that magically unlocks the algorithm. I get it. We're all busy. That's the nature of life. I've got 3 kids, 4 cats, and a husband. (Not listed in order of priority… maybe.) So when I say "work," I don't mean grind yourself into the ...

You don't have a content problem. Sort of.

LinkedIn is a long game. But the algorithm isn’t. Most people understand the first part. Very few understand the second. LinkedIn feels like a compounding platform. You build an audience, you stay consistent, and over time your content starts to work for you. That part is true. But under the hood, the system operates very differently. LinkedIn’s feed only actively retrieves content from roughly...

Become a better writer in 3 simple steps.

3 ways to become a better writer [each one takes under 90 seconds to learn]. 1. Read your writing out loud. Your ear catches what your eye misses. Clunky sentences, repeated words, and awkward phrasing all reveal themselves the moment you hear them. If you stumble reading it, your reader will too. This one habit alone will do more for your writing than any course, any book, or any amount of sta...
