Building A Powerful LinkedIn Presence: Tips from a LinkedIn Expert

My Top 3 takeaways

1 - Whever you Comment, do not address it to the author.

Address it to the Audience.

And make sure to provide Free Coaching and add even more Value (that’s not included in the post)

2 - Jasmin Alić starts every post with “Dear Son”

Ensuring that he is only writing to ONE reader everytime.

He talks about how anyone can do this - And it’s one of the best ways move past Post Anxiety

When you are only writing to one person.

3 - Your Hook SHOULD be a preview to the whole post.

What that means, is that the first couple of lines should be simple enough

That anyone that stumbles on the post, even if they don’t have a Maketing or LinkedIn background

Will understand what the post will be about.

This interview was Godlike.

2 of my fsvorite creators. I'll be rewatching for sure 😊

Omg, he’s Bosnian! 🇧🇦 me too

Very cool. I don’t have a LinkedIn profile. I’ll make one this week.

Practice makes progress 👌🏾❤️

I'm so happy he mentioned your book, I love it as well. There are passages in that book that simultaneously angered me and opened my eyes in ways I never expected. And I needed that. Thank you for another great interview.

Jasmin is a national treasure

Big Jas! He’s the real deal.

Man! I've learned so much with Aliç.

I've been following him for a while and his takeaways are super relevant for any business:

1) What is the one thing that I want my reader to learn from this post? - A game changer

2) Re-hook - Absolutely brilliant

3) Dear Son approach - Got it perfectly (got 4 kids ahah)

4) Comment early while being informative to the author's audience + 3 replies on a post - Just Amazing

5) Connect after 10 interactions and keep track on Google Sheet - will definitely implement it

Got other notes but those are my top 5 + the 3 tools mentioned at the end.

Thank you a lot guys.

I loved the "Dear Son" approach. I definitely plan to use that with my granddaughter! I have been wondering how I could simplify my writing for second language learners. Writing to a 9-year-old is the perfect solution!

This was so amazing! He even has a constant facial expression that comes with the "dear son"-vibe. 😅He really comes across like a very loving father with a lot of empathy! Also these insights once again couldnt come at a better time. I wanna get deep into Linked In this year and make it work for me and this is just amazing stuff to know!

Thanks Chris and Jasmin!

I'm trying to figure it all out while preserving my household, marriage, and family. I'll try to get as much as I can from this discussion, but, we don't have the same scenario/situations from a family, marriage, household standpoint. Thx.

I know this comment doesn’t follow the advise, but this is pure gold! Thanks 🙌

So grateful for this amazing value. Following on LinkedIn. Happy new year! 🎉

What an awesome interview, I can't believe I sat through it fully! Chris was such an amazing host and voice is so nice and that laugh, so adorable and pure! ❤I know Jay from LinkedIn, such an awesome and kind person. And how his eyes gleam when he gets nerdy about LinkedIn is simply beautiful. It was such a delight, hearing and seeing u both gentlemen! Thank u so much for this❤️😍😘

Amazing, thank you so much for all the knowledge 💣 s

Linkedin is a most disgusting social network. Full of self inflating and ass licking

Hook (attention), rehook(retention)

hook and rehook

"We're not just out here writing posts and trying to get maximum reach. We're actually changing lives!" - Thx guys for a perfect conversation.

LinkedIn is something that I have tried to get a grasp on, but, especially recently, I've just run away from the spam, mainly from people who are trying to sell their cryptocurrency to me...
I'm going to have to watch this again and pay attention to Jasmin and Chris to learn if other people have had this experience!!
Happy New Year to Everyone Here 🎉🎈🫶🎉🎇
Andréa and Critters. ...XxX....

How has "The Futur" channel impacted your Creative Skills, and what valuable lessons have you learned from his content?

Absolutely great conversation love all the nuggets. Changed my profile directly while listening to it. Congrats!

GOLDMINE

I got great takeaways from him .Thanks man

Learned so much about writing for LinkedIn in this video than many courses I bought. Thank you Jasmin and Chris.

I’m also 31 but I look like 20 years younger than that guy. I’m not a LinkedIn star, though. Anyway.

Firstly it's nice to see someone from Balkan in your pod and Jasmin is super smart guy and ultra analytical :)

His eyes look so freakin red and he looks tired af. It's only appropriate he says he doesn't need a lot of sleep. I'm willing to say his mindset is stronger than his desire to sleep. It's not a blessing. This man needs sleep 😂😂😂

The generosity between two passionate creators was such a joy and honor to watch ❤

Now it us time to implement ❤
-Hook and rehook..
-Clear call to action in the title
-Retention
-Inbound
-Community
-Comment daily 20+ (my goal 😅)
-Post daily (daily practice)
-Portfolio
(I need to get that portfolio together--could it be paired with or become a pitch deck?)
🎉Thanks again.

Top 5 Key Takeaways.

1. Write better hooks and re-hooks in your LinkedIn posts to grab attention and improve retention. Ask yourself - what's the one key thing you want readers to learn? State that clearly in the hook.

2. Comment thoughtfully on other people's LinkedIn posts to increase your visibility and brand authority. Aim to provide value for all readers, not just the original poster.

3. Optimize your LinkedIn profile to clearly show what you do and have a strong call to action. This converts profile views into leads.

4. Consistently practice writing daily, even if you don't publish it. This will help you improve your writing skills over time.

5. Building personal brand and authority on LinkedIn takes time but can change lives. Focus on empowering others, not just gaining reach or monetization.

This is Goldmine of knowledge. Thanks for sharing Jay & Chris.

This was a great interview. So rich!

I don't use LinkedIn much yet, but my goal is to do so in 2024. I am going to be trying these key strategies: 1) Hook and Re-Hook 2) 1:3 Comment and Reply 3) Share Value & Build Community First!! Thanks Jasmin & Chris! You guys deliver. This one really made an impact!

Massively valuable advice. Thank you HeyJay!

This was fantastic. Thank you for all you do for the community!

My biggest is 111,000 likes and 9.2 million impressions.

46 mill impressions YTD.

Wow 🤩! So much value here, for free!! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for making such a amazing & helpful video❤

What a nice surprise to see Jasmim outside of my linkedin feed!

All of this information blew my mind!!

This was so helpful! I plan to use these strategies to grow my linkedin in 2024! Thanks Jay and Chris!

The content here on the futur is real gold and this channel needs to have millions of more subscribers. Thanks for this amazing video explaining how to navigate LinkedIn

This is one of the BEST information on Linkedin - Chris and Jay-You made this so simple - I'm going to make sure to implant this Today- 12/31/23

Take AWAYS
Visual-make it easy to read - People like to see your face- take tons of pictures of yourself

Hook - and Re- Hook them to make sure if you promise something in the hook- you give it in your post so the reader will read your post to the end

What to say and say it effectively- Dear Son- write like you are speaking to one person and then put love Dad- Just make sure you delete Dear Son and Love Day before posting it

Comment- Comments are what going to increase your engagement- comment and speak to the audience, not the author- 3:1- One main comment- 3 replies

Don't make them THINK
Tools- edit anything ( one word) extension
Sorry- I didn't get the other ones

Absolutely agree with the take on TEXT ONLY. I did this as a practice even though I'm a branding designer, I wanted to improve my writing skills and thats what I did in a month returned back to doing carousels and statics. MY GOD its such a big difference on engagement and even just the quality your posts will be. I've now picked up Threads and I'm loving the writing process.

Jasmin is a machine! And he’s definitely made LinkedIn more interesting for me (I agree Chris - his posts are filled with gold).

Lovely to hear the “behind the scenes” of what goes into growing a following on LinkedIn… and the inbound/outbound approach difference. Glad that my commenting approach has been “on the right track”.

One thing I’ve also tried - is a combo of outbound / inbound… so - connecting with new people, but also ensuring I share gold, and long term - it would be great if it warms them up. Will test and see, but my current audience is much smaller
