LinkedIn Growth Hacks: Dominate the Platform in 2024

[@sam-browne]

Thanks so much for having me on, Chris!

[@brianndege5331]

Been following you! Infact you even posted about this podcast 1 month ago or so

[@sam-browne]

@@brianndege5331 Thanks man! I did indeed!

[@thefutur]

Any time!

[@DianasReviews]

Thank you Sam and Chris 📝 My notes: be known for something you do well, model after successful people that have the audience/traction you want and save their posts you like to recreate them, have a post to fit on a single screen with an easy grade level comprehension, nail the hook headline 🪝first 2-3 lines creating irresistible curiously.

[@stepstogrow1]

Don't see much content on company pages. Is it worth posting on there?

[@najara.harter]

Chris is a creative who likes to bring abstract and idealistic ideas and concepts to a more realistic and practical approach for people to be able to apply it in real life. I like the way you try to bring your creative guests to earth 😅

[@benjaminleavitt3666]

Chris, I love how you pick great people to interview and keep the interviews on track so they’re all tender morsels with no filler. Thanks for all you do.

[@thefutur]

I appreciate that!

[@leadgenjay]

Solid insights on leveraging LinkedIn, especially the part about engaging with your network. One under-the-radar tactic is to join and actively participate in niche LinkedIn groups where your target audience hangs out. This can lead to more meaningful connections and potential leads since you're contributing to conversations they care about.

[@RoyalAdventuresTheRoyalLife]

I am in my car an hour outside of Nashville right now. Going to see my grandchildren and my son is a musician and producer. Wow, and I definitely need to conquer LinkedIn. Wow really got attention.

[@PowerPlusNature]

How did you know I just made my LinkedIn profile 5 days ago? I absolutely love it. I was very scared to join because I have no degree. But wow, it's so much better than Facebook. Looking forward to finding clients there and honing my skills. Thank you.

[@thefutur]

Go to where your clients are at!

[@sufirafaee8784]

Hey, I've been active on LinkedIn for the past 2 years and it's there that I've gained nearly 7k followers. I don't have a degree too! Start connecting with your potential clients and your competitors to see how they do the things they do to grow and find your voice. Be present and keep on learning. All the best!

[@PowerPlusNature]

@@sufirafaee8784 , wow, thank you for the hope!

[@dfd4688]

It sounds like crafting something he is proud of, sharing it, and having people respond in a way that satisfies his need to be valued and appropriated, is what motivates him. Man, that might be quite fulfilling. Thanks again… Cheers

[@QuinTelevision]

Chris/The Futur thanks again for putting me on to yet another pro who’s helped me immediately after the episode. My list includes Daniel Priestley’s first interview, John D and his illustrations, Rene Rodriguez and now Sam Browne.

[@thefutur]

Awesome!!

[@vsion7563]

Thank you Chris and The Futur team for this.

[@thefutur]

You're welcome!

[@learninghistory]

Only 6 minutes in and already so much value! So glad I clicked!

[@Mtn_Mig]

Great tips; thank you. As a scientist trying to move from academia into the private market, personalizing and creating what honestly sounds like superficial content is not easy at all for me. Still, that is the reality of the marketplace. Apperance is more important than substance, again, as a scientist, not my selling point. I sure have my work cut out for me.

[@KristianTheDesigner]

I honestly dont care so much about the HOW to grow a following on LinkedIn, but rather WHY. This is not an attack, but an honest request. The HOW is usually never really important, but the WHY is most of the time very important in the pursuit of X. Also might add WHO. Who should care to why to grow a following on LinkedIn :) And Chris, i know you can give a great take on this, and not any of that shallow bs that many would do, so thats why i am asking HERE :)

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

They go over this in the podcast, but if you can grow on linkedin you can make more sales. Especially if you create towards your ICP, then you will even find that leads come to you!! Hopefully that answers your question!

[@KristianTheDesigner]

@@BrunoPozo4Real yes, and thanks Bruno, but that is what i refer to as a bit of a bs-answer to the Why 😁 I rarely see anything but a contest in who can brag the most on LinkedIn, and very few actual ”sales”/conversions. Not talking about me not selling, but analyzing and watching others do it. Just so you understand, i do not call your response a bs response, Bruno..just had to make that clear 😁

[@BrunoPozo4Real]

​@@KristianTheDesigner but the truth is people are making sales on Linkedin. Not everybody, that’s true, but my partner has gotten most of our clients through Linkedin. And at 42:57 he mentions how his clients have landed deals through linkedin as well. But it sounds like you are looking for a deeper WHY? But that's personal and can vary by person. Why do people do anything?? Cause they get something out of it like enjoyment, money, relationships, etc.. It just depends!

[@thefutur]

I think Bruno is pretty spot on, not sure what other response than growing your presence in a business "first" social platform where you can build your reputation you're looking for.

[@wannabecarguy]

I have to improve capacity before flexing LinkedIn, but really how do you advertise without revealing intellectual property?

[@designtheunique]

Great video! Thank you for sharing all this knowledge! I also see that something was changed in you Chris and I really like it! ❤😊

[@thefutur]

What do think has changed?

[@MyBusinessWebDesign]

So much value in this convo! Thank you both!

[@thefutur]

You’re very welcome

[@delmixedit]

15:56 just happened to me. Someone who’s been following me on social media for years reached out about a project and said out of all the people they know, I’m the one that popped up as being uniquely qualified for it.

[@FilipeTeixeira_TennisCoach]

Just on time this talk and such a great insights!

[@thefarhanshad]

Very helpful.Thanks for all your advise 😊

[@d.o.nmuzic3802]

Thank You 🙏🏾 very helpful!

[@EcomCarl]

Sam approach to making LinkedIn content both engaging and fun highlights the importance of infusing personality into every post! This strategy not only entertains but also educates, effectively capturing audience attention and fostering meaningful interactions. 🚀

[@shegrowsingreenville]

Thanks for this, Chris.

[@thefutur]

You're welcome!

[@seven7vii7]

After this interview Sam's LinkedIn followers rocketed pass 100K!

[@simonlewis]

This was a great strategy session. Thanks

[@maximilianroth9894]

Thank you for your amazing work Chris! I would love to know what tool you use to record the podcast online. Have an amazing day! :)

[@thefutur]

I use Riverside.

[@thisricardopalma]

Loved the:" if you believe you can..." Ford quote.

[@phillipdestruge]

24:46 Chris Chat GPT prompt. 👍 and in reference to writing as simple as possible, one could argue that it requires a level of humility because you take away the need of sounding smart for the sake of helping as many people as possible.

[@RubyHe-y9v]

Great Interview

[@Iammattjupp]

Awesome Insights!

[@thefutur]

Thank you!

[@DFFRNTWRLD]

This was insightful, thank you for sharing.

You are so welcome!

Nice useable nuggets 💸

Deep in a woo is right here haha. Love you sharing these things, Chris

[@thefutur]

Thank you

[@SandipKumar-og6xm]

Thank u so much

[@garethellison01]

Some amazing tips and direction for me to get started with for my design business. Thank you so much. 🙏🏼 One thing I did want to mention. And this will be a controversial comment. Is it just me who finds that there is something quite superficial and dare is say desperate about the whole social media space. It's almost like learning to fight for attention. I want to produce content from everything I've learned but I always stop as I feel cringy. Does anyone else get this? Maybe it's because secretly I tell myself, I'm so good at design why should I have to even compete.😂

[@thefutur]

You’re very welcome

[@free-growth-community-bio]

Great video, i also building community to get faster through first steps as a new users and get first 500+ connections!

[@leadwithoptimism]

I can’t seem to find the viral post they are discussing in the show notes… Can someone share the link? 🙏

[@DailyUsefulFun]

Great content. Justin Welsh and other larger creators mentioned how they used engagement groups to grow quickly. They joined groups of 10-15 people who already had an audience and commented on each other's posts in the first hour, so the algorithm sent the content to more people. Is this something that still works on LinkedIn? How do we get into these groups of people who are already supporting each other's posts?

[@thefutur]

I think it works. But it feels very artificial.

[@Dragonlove3]

Great job

[@thefutur]

Thank you.

[@MomXPLab]

I see Sam’s posts in my LinkedIn feed very often - because some of the accounts I follow comment on them. Kudos to him for making it to 50k! But also how much of that success is attributed to him being coached by Justin Welsh? (Something that Justin posted about)

[@sam-browne]

Hey Evelyn! I've never done coaching with Justin (or anyone). I did buy Justin's course, The Operating System, and that was what gave me my start on LinkedIn.

[@Thegripspot]

Nashvillian here and super surprised to hear this lol. Anybody in Nashville seeking a grief/mental health therapist. Im available :-)

[@IDC45]

Is there a particular reason this interview was not put up on Spotify? Just so i wont watch it?

[@thefutur]

We haven’t started publishing video podcasts outside of KZbin.

[@IDC45]

@@thefutur Thanks for answering, but that's really sad since i can't watch youtube videos with my data or phone battery when im on walks, which is the only way i can consume long form content lol, Guess thats my problem.

[@bobbastian760]

Linked In content should be far more like Facebook or Instagram than a corporate Annual Report.

[@RoyalAdventuresTheRoyalLife]

I shared the link to my text messages back to myself to my phone and then it’s all in one place so there’s a hack for y’all

[@thisricardopalma]

Manifestation is not mystical, is not "woo" "woo" it's one of the laws of the universe proven by science (in case somebody needs science proofs).

[@stepstogrow1]

Did Chris just say he's 52?

[@thefutur]

Yes

[@MasterEditor5]

Why his hat has a yellow tape?

[@thefutur]

That’s the way it was purchased.

[@jasaa229]

😁

[@madvillainy6845]

You can be a generalist and still niche down.

[@thefutur]

Yes. That’s called being a specialist.

[@krxb937]

I like you now because u pronounce can & can't properly, not "can" "can" 😂

[@almac8840]

LinkenIn is total BS. Its turned into my old high school cafeteria. 😂

[@free-growth-community-bio]

True, but still a lot of opportunities if you can have visibility and you know how to approach people. i also building community to get faster through first steps as a new users and get first 500+ connections

[@keyrosellc]

Good job explaining MANIFESTATION, Chris! 🎉 Your wife would approve! 😅 You incorporated both the ✨woo woo 🪄 & psychological perspectives 🧠. As a mental health therapist who often guides clients into manifestation I like to remind them that it involves using positive thinking, visualization & self-fulfilling prophecies to influence outcomes. Positive thinking broadens awareness and fosters new skills, visualization activates brain areas related to performance & self-fulfilling prophecies encourage behaviors that lead to success. Cognitive dissonance motivates you to change your behavior to better align with your goals & then the placebo effect shows the power of belief causing you to hit the “repeat” button… these psychological principles help create a mindset that enhances motivation, focus & resilience helping you meet your personal goals. 🎉Get it.
