Post on LinkedIn to Become an Expert
It can be difficult to get started on LinkedIn. You know your customers are on LinkedIn, and you
also know you provide a valuable service. However, you're having trouble figuring out how to get
your message heard above all of your competition.
Working with entrepreneurs and small business owners who don't have a LinkedIn presence will
taught us the value of being able to represent yourself as an industry expert.
When you're just getting started on LinkedIn and don't have thousands of followers, there are four
strategies to establish oneself as an industry expert.
1. In your posts, establish your authority.
People who are browsing LinkedIn are looking for information that will assist them. They're
thinking to themselves, 'what's in it for me?' and 'how can this individual benefit me?'
You will be recognised as an expert and begin to position yourself as a 'go to' authority in your
industry if you can assist individuals add something positive or remove something undesirable
from their life.
Your audience will quickly recognise that your information is useful to them. Here, consistency is
crucial because that is what will build trust. As a result, by consistently producing useful content
that benefits your audience, you will begin to establish a devoted and expanding fan base. These
supporters could be more than just customers; they could also be ambassadors for your brand.
Keep them involved, and they'll help you build a more engaged and relevant LinkedIn audience.
2. Add value to other people's posts by commenting on them.
If you don't have a significant LinkedIn following, you may still get your message out by
commenting on other people's postings. When you leave a comment on someone else's piece,
you're effectively introducing yourself to their audience.
When you leave a comment on someone else's piece, provide value - don't brag, but work it so
you can demonstrate your knowledge in a nice and conversational manner.
People will soon identify you as an authority figure in your own right, and they will begin to follow
you on your feed. People will want to come over to your postings and comment on them for the
same reason, and you will begin to establish your own loyal following.
3. Demonstrate your knowledge through social proof.
When it comes to establishing your authority with a new audience, testimonials and reviews are
highly valuable. When working with professionals that have a proven track record, people feel
safer.
You can establish yourself as a trusted business partner by requesting and displaying
recommendations from prior clients and coworkers. LinkedIn recommendations are a great tool
that will help you establish yourself as an experienced professional in your field.
4. Make yourself available to the people who will be watching you.
While you want your audience to know that you're busy and not just 'waiting for the phone to
ring,' being active on LinkedIn will bring people closer to you.
By reacting to comments on your posts, you will not only activate the LinkedIn algorithm, which
will increase the'reach' of your posts, but you will also begin to form deeper relationships with
your followers.
Individuals like to work with people they know, like, and believe in. Before they start conducting
business with you, your potential leads need to get to know you. You can start building ties on
LinkedIn that could grow into long-term business relationships by being engaged.
On LinkedIn, establishing yourself as a trustworthy and informed expert in your field doesn't have
to be tough. If your audience believes you truly understand them and can assist them, they will
begin to approach you for business.
