Perseverance pays off on LinkedIn!

The struggle against the LinkedIn algorithm is tough, but it's no reason to give up.

"It’s not just about the number of views. It’s about quality."

Give yourself a round of applause 👏 Because seriously, LinkedIn is getting tougher. Less reach, more competition. But you keep posting. Keep trying. And that’s exactly what it’s all about.

I wrote this article for MarketingTribune: Why you have to keep persevering, even if your post only gets 300 views, even if you only go viral with a post about your daughter or your dog. That’s part of it. Sometimes you have a hit, sometimes you don’t. Everything you post helps you build recognition and trust.

Because remember: it’s not just about the number of views. It’s about quality.

1,500 views from the right people is not a failure. It’s brand awareness in action.

We all see it happen: humor scores well, as does bad news. But you can’t just laugh or cry. Sometimes you want to share a tip in a video. Sometimes a substantive blog. Or just a photo from an event. Everything contributes to the same goal: building relationships with your target audience.

And whether you reach 3 or 30,000 people, make sure these 3 things are always right: 📌 A strong headline 📌 A triggering visual 📌 A text that engages and activates

Don’t make your video too long, your title too boring, and your intro too slow. Hook people in right away. You can explain afterward.

Show me the magic in real life 🪄
