Last month, I hit 150k followers. Today we're at 166k.
And to prove it wasn't just luck. Here's my gift to you:
My entire 7-step strategy I used to grow FAST.
No one has ever gone into this much detail, but I did.
I covered:
1. Starting from 0 (literally)
2. The truth about profile optimisation
3. Getting 500+ relevant connections
4. Picking a niche that actually works for you
5. Building a content strategy that works daily
6. The commenting strategy that changed the game
7. Networking and how I found my first ever mentor
Bonus: templates AND a free guide.
My team is going to kill me for giving this much away.
But you deserve it all (and more).
It's time you go all in on yourself. Build your brand.
People are quitting LinkedIn, it's your time to shine.
Share with your friends :)

2 minutes in- this video is 100x more useful then 99% of any KZbin video- well organized, edited, and explained.

[@MichaelBelfry]

Agreed… *So* much value here! 😊

[@boluwatifesegun-oluwayomi731]

Your first 3mins is where I'm at right now. Digital detoxing. And it's so refreshing. Gives me the kick I need to slow down and focus on my target audience. Feels like a brand new start. Thanks for this.

[@Laraacosta]

I'm here for you queen! you got this!

[@Saadkaleemullahsuleman]

Luke is slay

[@oluwatobideborah1813]

Same here Bolu I'm glad she made this video, I was about giving up. Thank you @lara

[@As-vt2ds]

Her lips 🔥 💦

[@larrydennistv]

My new favorite youtuber I swear I manifested finding you I'm struggling on my LinkedIn journey gave it up but started back but didn't have much people to follow until now I'm so happy now 😁

[@washiurrahman8421]

you just stole my words😂😂

[@est1988nwyrk]

so many content creators talking about LinkedIn, and so many of them doesn't have even a half of your results - yet it is you that's sharing very specific solid hints and step by steps. So much really helpful knowledge sharing for free that after 30 min spend with you I'm already willing to pay for that course you're promoting right now

[@virginiavila2668]

Well, well, and they say people aren't on LinkedIn on Sundays! I'm glad I was. I watched it from start to finish without skipping. It was that good. Thanks also for being so honest about the process. No shortcuts, just strategy and work work work.

[@DIANA-mj9cf]

"literally" This video is a complete breakdown.. Thank you Lara

[@frankrekas5511]

So much value here. Thank you Lara. This is why being on LinkedIn on Sunday is so important

[@LatinaLanguage]

My personal notes: 1. Remove all noise. Detox (remove connections that distract you or start from zero). Focus on your first 100, your 100 list. 2. Have a professional representation of who you are. Keep it simple and focus on explaining what you do and who you do it for and why (I help ____ to do ____). 3. Your two currencies are money and time. 4. Get your first 500 connections by commenting. Make relevant comments (personal take, motivational mic drop, memes). 5. Focus on ONE THING. One problem, one solution. 6. Make all kinds of posts: carousels, videos, images, infographics. 7. Your post should always be linked to what you do (if it's a personal story, make sure you're linking it to your niche). 8. Educate. Inspire. Entertain. Use one or you won't grow. Do at least two and you'll win. 9. Post 3-5 times a week. 10. 80% educational, 20% inspire. 11. Create a harmonious look, good text formatting. 12. Always optimize for mobile, do 8-10 words per sentence, use bullet points. 13. Social media is CONNECTION. Commit to meeting people, all kinds of PEOPLE. People ahead of you, behind you, etc. 14. Your mentor or your most important client could be in your connections if you're open to attract like-minded people. 15. Show up every single day.

[@dennismutai9272]

I have learnt more in this video than I have ever learned in any single video. Thank you very much

[@enigreat]

Your free content is better than anyone paid I just downloaded all videos You are all I needed Why am I just seeing your contents now, the good thing is I found you

[@babuveerabhadraiah8057]

Wow, what an incredibly joyful and insightful message! I love the profound wisdom you've shared - the idea that the more we give, the more we get, and how compounding returns can make even the little things go a long way. In today's distracted world, your reminder to make a habit of giving without expectations is so valuable. It's clear you've tapped into a wellspring of joy and positivity that is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing these uplifting thoughts - they've certainly brightened my day, and I'm sure they'll do the same for anyone else who reads them. Keep spreading that infectious joy, it's a gift to all who encounter it!

[@chandniahuja1405]

This video was so so so amazing. Something my sub-conscious mind was already manifesting. Thanks for giving me the direction, I was looking for!

[@matt.teufel]

Lara, thank you for such valuable content. I have started the journey on LinkedIN recently andI want to say thank you for sharing this insisght about the platform. It helps to understand how to stand out.

[@JosephDoyle-s2r]

You putting this up for free is actually clutch - praise to you

[@ahounoufolabithierry5235]

Subscribed. So much value in this video, gold, from the first minute to the end. Thank you Lara

[@JohneCook]

This is a masterclass, Lara. This video should be the new industry-standard for personal branding on LInkedIn.

[@Laraacosta]

@@JohneCook merci mr much love

[@communitytaxfinancialservi4378]

This was great! Today I implemented some of what you taught, especially building connections. Today alone my impressions have more than doubled and my followers and connections have increased a significant amount as well. Of one of my newly made connections, we have already exchanged numbers! Looking forward to even more growth!

[@ekaarzoo]

This video was actually some really easy to understand and follow. Even though you have written 'I blew up...' I understand that you've put in the effort of consistency over a long time to get the results you have today. Kudos!

[@tabbywambui5884]

Wooooooo! It's time for a digital detox. Watching this video on a Monday morning has set my pace for the week. Thank you Lara.

[@Kim.firsttimemomlife]

This!!!

[@Lily-hf5dh]

LITERALLY. Thanks for sharing. I’m gonna start to use all of your tips!

[@Ronda_L_Harris]

This is GOLD!!! Thank you Lara! And BTW, "Luke is Slay" (he made me do it - LOL); seriously, thank you for this awesome video. See you on LinkedIn.

[@RidaGhaffar]

Its one of the most valuable video I’ve ever seen on LinkedIn-Power Sunday Post on LinkedIn I’ve seen-that drives me to KZbin-Thanks Queen❤

[@abdulshakouradam2294]

I followed your first tip and detoxed my profile by removing many undeeded connections (many are people who rarely use their accounts)... my timeline is "cleaner" now. The next step is for me to start posting more often and connecting with others in the same industry

[@SiennaElledge]

Hey @abdulshakouradam2294, kudos on cleaning up your timeline! That's so important. I recently discovered this new social media tool called Mydrop AI when I was looking to streamline my agency's content creation. You might find it helpful too, especially if you're planning on posting more. It supports 14 platforms, including LinkedIn, and its scheduling feature is a game-changer. I managed to schedule a month's worth of content in one afternoon! It really cuts down on the daily grind of posting, which leaves more time for those important industry connections. Have you tried using any content management tools for your posting strategy yet?

[@arshadhussain4420]

Congrats for having 166k brilliant minds 🎉🎉 & thank you for sharing 07 strategies ma’am Lara

[@somanymangoes]

[@GabriellaSzilagyi-pl4rm]

Thank you so much for creating this video - as a budding psychologist and young entrepreneur this helped a lot!

[@LatinaLanguage]

It's a pleasure to see Mexican fellows doing this great in the industry. You're an inspiration and I'm going to follow all these steps. I'm at 8 connections. I'll come update this comment when I'm at 500+. Thank you!

[@heyreach]

Congrats! No doubt, it's a great journey and great work you've done.

[@ux.verona]

Thanks for this amazing video. I watched all your videos and prepared content for the entire month of August to post three times a week. So, basically, I will try all your advice and ideas. I have high hopes that it will work and I will land my first client. Wish me luck and thanks for the inspiration!

[@julianauto5141]

Thanks for being so generous with this breakdown Lara! 🔥

[@locked-in-men]

[@chesrel]

Thank you for the video. When starting, it always feels like you are doing the wrong thing, you have to give up, it's not for you... When I started doing the thing I like, web design, I wanted to give up so many times. 3 months later, I landed my first client, have a long-term plan and just going forward even if I don't see the results right now. Just wanted to share my experience and maybe even inspire someone. Thank you again

[@nnofficial2414]

You go, girl! 💛 I could totally resonate 💯

[@bethshallcross5991]

These are all great tips. I’ve seen them work really well. I’ve gotten several followers just from posting a comment photo of a bottle of tequila on a fellow real estate professional’s post. But let’s be honest. It helps to be a beautiful, exotic woman. I’m all for using your assets. So more power to you!

[@zinhlemaseko4650]
