And, you know what the most exhilarating part of it is?
I came to know about this achievement from one of my close friends only. He got to know about the list and immediately called me to inform me that!
The next day when I checked the list, I was really surprised to know that I have surpassed some big honchos like Neil Patel, Steven Bartlett, Justin Welsh, and even Mr. Grant Cardone in terms of LinkedIn influence!
Considering this a big milestone of my journey, I made up my mind to share my experiences, which would be of great help to all. With these tips & tricks, there will be no need to reinvent the wheel and experiment with the algorithm to cognize what works best.
The Initiation
Though I am a Masters in Engineering and Business Management Certificate holder from the Indian Institute of Technology, I got selected for Public Sector Job, which is construed to be the most prestigious achievement in India.
But there I felt like a little lost somewhere in the midst of nowhere!
I was always research-minded and never ceased to learn. Going through various courses by Tony Robbins, Jim Collin, and Bob Proctor, and reading a lot from the prolific pen of Stephen R. Covey, Joseph Murphy, and James Allen, my thought process transformed completely.
I started to think totally differently and realized that punching the clock is not for me.
I made the boldest move of my life that faced severe backlashes, chides, and rebukes from everywhere.
I resigned from the government job!
Even the unknown people who came to know what I did came to criticize & lampoon me personally & publically.
But keeping that all at bay, I kept on working what I wished.
In the meantime, I faced complete health loss twice and was bedridden then.
But I never let my determination falter.
I penned various books during that time; Master the Art of Successful Career became a 5-star rated bestseller.
With an optimism level ad-infinitum, I went on LinkedIn and kept on creating content to the level cited ‘ad nauseam’.
I kept on connecting with more and more people and establishing amazingly cordial relationships with all. I used to call everyone personally and for those who were invited, I gave an in-person visit as well. One of my friends M. K. Sharma was attending an enclave in New Delhi, and on call he invited me to meet there. And, I not disappointed him!
During the COVID-19-crisis, I used to call all and asked about well-beings and whereabouts. One girl has lost her job and was asking for guidance in her job search, and I offered my book for free for preparation. The book is still available for free for everyone to download.
The continuum of connecting with people went that way and during conversations in any form, I always asked them that is there was anything in which I can help them in any form. I helped people with their works, contents, design parts, shared tools, and drive storages, and also helped many financially.
Things are still like this but the best part is that all those who came into my connections are still having the same level of relationship. I have never lost contact with anyone of them and we are ready to stand for each other at any time in any situation.
In the last three years, witnessing several sharp ups & downs in life- including the loss of my revered father, the severe illness of my beloved nephews, and several personal health issues.
The Secret
Currently, in this header, I am not going to talk about the revolutionary mega-blockbuster from Ms. Rhonda Byrne, which I read incessantly daily; here I am going to tell the LinkedIn success secret.
And, that seemingly simple but superlatively strong secret is maintaining consistency.
Whatever situation you are facing, whatever the scenario is, and whatsoever you are going through, you have to be consistent in your presence on LinkedIn.
Moreover, you can find an inordinate amount of information on various platforms and LinkedIn is more than inundated with easy-peasy tips & tricks like posting that with this hook on this time on this day with this keyword is going to take you high.
But I have found they are nothing more than a publicity stunt to inspire awe in minds of people and try to establish their intellectual leadership there.
Yes, hooks and information are great but still, it is the consistency that counts.
It is neither the content quality nor the appeal but the consistency that is loved by the LinkedIn algorithm.
Moreover, those who are in the starting phase of their LinkedIn journey must never fret too much about the content quality or wait for the right hook and time. They must only be consistent with their daily presence.
These days the LinkedIn algorithm is supporting video content more, so people must be reluctant to leverage the opportunity.
Though it has been mentioned, it is still worth repeating that being consistent on the platform- in terms of timing, posting, authenticity, and the theme of the message delivered is what going to realize your expectations.
The Next Step
While being active on LinkedIn one will face torrents of content related to personal branding.
And, in my opinion, the personal brand is the most dominating force in the world. If one is well established in terms of branding, then all the endeavors are going to be a success!
Thought leadership established by the content quality and getting more impressions on a post with the right content quantity- are the base of a personal brand on LinkedIn.
But as advised by other leaders and passion gurus, people start making some small slip-ups.
Not engaging on other posts, not joining groups, and not following other established accounts are a few of them.
LinkedIn is a social media platform enabling you to create a strong professional network.
And, here connecting and engaging with more and more posts are going to be of great help in getting more impressions on your posts, enhancing the chances of going viral.
So, these few things must also be kept in mind. More the connections more are the more support from all, and this will lead to support from the algorithm as well.
Epilogue
LinkedIn is really a goldmine for professional connections and project opportunities but the gateway to that treasure trove is through the punctilious attention to such fine practices.
Other ancillaries viz. Sales Navigator, LinkedIn Learning, Insights, Service Market Place, and others are really very helpful. This means, mastering them all is like having the whole world at your fingertips!
