    In your opinion, do thought-provoking comments increase LinkedIn engagement? 💡

    Being too basic on LinkedIn is just that too basic. If that makes sense. Just liking or giving simple comments like “agreed!” and “insightful tips” is not enough to upscale your LinkedIn presence. You have to be authentic and genuine with your responses. ✍️ Do you think well-thought-out comments really help grow your network and boost visibility on LinkedIn?

    It should be personal, it should be your opinion, what you think. Doesn't necessarily have to be thought provoking. Just stick to what you genuinely feel or think about the particular post. Can be a different angle of thought, real life examples/anecdotes

    Yes, I think thought - provoking comments do increase LinkedIn engagement. Well - thought - out comments show that you've really engaged with the post's content. They can start meaningful conversations, which attract more attention. Authentic and in - depth responses also make you stand out from those who just give basic comments. This can help you grow your network as people are more likely to connect with someone who has interesting insights. It also boosts your visibility as more people may interact with your comment.

    Thought-provoking comments definitely boost engagement. People love to share their opinions and insights on topics that make them think. The key is asking open-ended questions that encourage discussion rather than just yes/no responses. Throwing in a relevant emoji helps catch the eye too 👀 Just keep it authentic and don't force it.

    Absolutely. I see comments as mini-posts with a built-in audience and often a better ROI. For instance, a post on my own might get a couple thousand impressions, but a thoughtful comment on a popular creator's post can get much more visibility—especially if I post early and receive likes, keeping my comment at the top. If their post gets hundreds of thousands of impressions, my comment benefits from that reach. I've spent an hour writing a post that got 10 likes, but just 3 minutes on a comment that got 60. It's an underutilized strategy on LinkedIn.
