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.

You don't have to start at the beginning

Here's a permission slip most people never get on LinkedIn: You don't have to tell a chronological story. You don't have to start at the start. You don't have to give the setup, the background, the "so a little context first." You can drop your reader straight into the moment that matters and trust them to keep up. Because honestly? The announcements, the introductions, the team-offsite hype, w...

Do you know your brand relatives?

Do you know your brand relatives? Not your competitors. Your relatives. This might be the single most underrated concept in personal branding, and once you see it, you can't unsee it. Here's the family tree. Brand Fraternal Twins Same industry. Same audience. Different delivery. Think Brené Brown and Simon Sinek. Both talk about leadership and human behavior. But Brené leads with vulnerability ...

LinkedIn is a long game. The algorithm isn't.

LinkedIn is a long game. But the algorithm isn't. And confusing those two things will quietly wreck your momentum. Here's the mechanic almost nobody talks about. LinkedIn's feed system actively retrieves content from roughly the past 30 days. That's the window it's working with when it decides what to surface and to whom. Which means: If you disappear for a month, you're not "slowing down." You...
