I reached 28K on LinkedIn. 0 cold messages. That's what you should do:
1. Define your positioning.
2. Optimize your profile.
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 free templates, infographics, or entertaining content.
6. Respond to thoughtful DMs.
7. Create intersections between other channels.
- If you already have an audience on Twitter, 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.

Great stuff!! Can you elaborate a bit more one 1. I think that's the hardest part to nail. How often should you post to build this audience? For me it's a small path between being annoying and being present.

Impressive!
Regarding the 3rd:
I did experiments, sending connections with or without messages.
Conversion was 2-3 times higher with notes — up to 40% versus 10-15% without.
Did you experiment with both? Are numbers comparable?
@olenabomko, there is a format that scares me to death
Inmail with A4 amount of text. Received one today, almost made me cry
I live the same life, and have the exact same experience with LinkedIn. I'm not at 28k, yet :), but keeping it simple, without fancy DMs, being active in sending out connection requests and accepting the incoming ones have my my main growth reasons as well.
That's an impressive achievement! I'd love to know more about how you defined your positioning and optimized your profile on LinkedIn. Any specific tips or resources you can share? Also, have you found any particular strategies that have worked well for creating intersections between LinkedIn and other channels? Thanks in advance for your insights!
I will emphasize point 5. There's nothing attractive about a dead account where its recent activity goes to a year ago! Comment, start a newsletter, or report interesting content, just don't go radio silence for long in there.
Great achievements, Olena!!! And as always, very precise and to-the-point advice!!
Not gonna lie, I pretty much suck at commenting on LinkedIn, any tips on how to improve this? 😅🫣
Consistency is the key :-) Thanks for bringing up how important and effective commenting is. Congratulations Olena. 🔥🔥
