For example, when everyone was screaming “DO VIDEOS EVERY DAY!”, I started with 1 simple video a week that I recorded without editing.

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...
