Here's how:
1/ Define your positioning. Who is your target audience? What's your main goal on LinkedIn?
2/ Optimize your profile. My free profile checklist:

3/ Send connection requests without pitches. Accept connection requests.
4/ Comment on others' content (!!!). VERY important.
5/ Post content. If your current posts don't get enough attention, do #1-4 and try to change the format of your posts. Try practical content, free templates, infographics, or entertaining content.
Only "building in public" content doesn't work. Try to mix different types of content.
6/ Respond to thoughtful DMs.
7/ In the beginning, all your focus should be on LinkedIn. Then, you can create intersections between other channels.
- If you already have an audience on X, invite them to connect with you on LinkedIn.
- Share your link on Product Hunt/other channels.
- Visit podcasts and mention that you're active on LinkedIn.

Wow! Amazing
Thank you for great tips!
Thank you for the bullet points, LinkedIn is usually a good fit for most audience reach out, especially if your product is B2B. I was wondering about your stance regarding Comments (4th point). Do you think it is always better to comment as your personal account, or do you believe there is merit in commenting as company/product page?

Comment on others' content is even helpful on Twitter, very essential. You'll gradually see getting followers from nowhere!
