A few years ago, LinkedIn post templates were everywhere.

You probably downloaded some.

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...

LinkedIn™ is judging you. [Here's how to pass!]

For years, people thought they had LinkedIn figured out. More likes = more reach.More comments = better distribution.Post at the perfect time = algorithm boost. The whole strategy revolved around sending the right signals. If you could get enough engagement quickly, the algorithm would push your post further. And for a long time, that understanding wasn’t entirely wrong. But LinkedInchanged how...
