Mastering LinkedIn's Viral Themes

Will McTighe shares his LinkedIn growth strategy, increasing from 4,000 to 180,000 followers in 6 months. Here's a simplified version of his advice:

Understand LinkedIn's main themes:

  • Follow top creators in your niche

  • Look for viral topics like leadership and mindset

  • Remember people use LinkedIn for professional growth

Find proven ideas:

  • Use tools like Saywhat to discover popular content

  • Put your spin on trending topics

  • Try different post formats

Reuse your best content:

  • Repost top-performing topics every 1-2 months

  • Update visuals while keeping your brand consistent

  • Use various formats like lists, how-to guides, and do's and don'ts

Focus on revenue, not just virality:

  • Address your customers' problems

  • Share customer testimonials and results

Track your results and keep improving your content strategy.

Your Path to LinkedIn Sales

Matt Lakajev recently outlined five LinkedIn strategies he uses to boost his revenue on the platform.

Here's a simplified breakdown:

  1. Focus on one main offering
    Sell one high-priced item that solves one problem for one specific customer type. Stick to this until you reach $5M in revenue.

  2. Start conversations daily
    Aim to begin 30 chats every day. This builds a large pool of potential clients over time. It's about forming long-term relationships, not quick sales.

  3. Put effort into each post
    Spend 1-3 hours crafting each post. Make sure every second of your content provides value to readers.

  4. Use lead magnets often
    Offer free valuable content to get people's contact information. This gives you more time to engage with potential clients.

  5. Monitor leads, not just views
    Track which posts generate the most leads. Create more content similar to your most successful posts.

Bonus tip: Add a lead magnet to your LinkedIn featured section that matches your main offering.
