Really interesting observation about LinkedIn's organic reach Take a look at these 2 posts... Post #1: 2,944 views Both had similar engagement. (Actually, the first one had MORE.) So why did the second post get 10X the views? Because the LinkedIn algorithm has changed. Massively. Here's what I learned. This comes directly from LinkedIn executives... Engagement used to be EVERYTHING. Not anymore. Now LinkedIn prioritizes 3 things: 1. Relevance 2. Expertise 3. Engagement I was getting frustrated for MONTHS. "Why am I getting hundreds of likes and comments... but my posts aren't being sent out?" Now I get it. LinkedIn wants tactical advice. Not engagement bait. (there was a lot of this!) So here's what this means for your content: If you want NEW eyes on your content: If you want to nurture your existing audience: Both have their place. But now you know which one to use when. And of course, once you get those new eyes... You need to know how to capitalize on them. But that's for another day. More to come... 😉 |

Hey Reader, I'm coming to you from Charlotte this morning. I'm getting ready to speak at the Empowered Podcasting Conference. (more to come on that next week) 🤗 But let's get into why I'm hitting your inbox today... Last month I dropped an uncut solo podcast. But I never expected what happened next. The outpouring of gratitude, support, and love from the people who listened blew me away. And I understand why. It’s because it was uncut. It was transparent. It was emotional. It was more human...
Crazy story… In January, I hired a podcast consultant to help me launch Free Business School. But I hired him without ever watching his podcast. Not one episode. Why? Every day, he showed up on my LinkedIn feed with clips from his podcast. And without watching a full episode, I got to KNOW him. His expertise. His approach. His personality. That's the power nobody talks about. See, a business podcast is NOTHING like Diary of a CEO, Modern Wisdom, or Joe Rogan. You don’t need celebrity guests...
