LinkedIn is a powerful tool to showcase your expertise and grow your network. But have you ever considered leveraging your competitors’ audiences? Through smart strategies and valuable content, you can attract their audience to your profile. It’s about providing value, not simply “stealing.”
Convert followers into connections.
1. Provide additional insights on valuable topics
If you see a competitor share a post that’s doing well, you can capitalize on it by providing additional insights or perspectives of your own.
How do you do that? Write a post that dives deeper into the same topic, but adds your unique perspective. Show that you’re thinking ahead and providing additional value.
Tip: Use specific examples or data that your competitor didn’t mention. This shows that you have knowledge and expertise.
2. Actively respond to competitors’ content
Another effective way is to respond to your competitors’ posts with content. This grabs their audience’s attention and shows your expertise.
Practical example: Don’t just respond with a simple “Good point!”, but add something like:
“Interesting take on [topic]. Another angle I’ve seen recently is [your addition].”
This shows that you’re actively thinking along and adding value to the discussion.
3. Share strategic content at the right time
Timing plays a big role in attracting your competitors’ audience. If you see that they’ve shared a successful post, post your own content on the same topic shortly after.
Why does this work? Your competitors’ audience is already in the mindset of that topic and is open to additional information.
4. Use smart hashtags and keywords
Make sure your posts contain the same or similar hashtags as your competitors. This makes your content visible to the same audience.
Tip: Analyze which hashtags your competitors are using and integrate them into your own posts, if relevant.
Attract valuable connections
Your competitors’ audience can be a great source of new connections and growth. By actively responding, providing additional insights and sharing strategic content, you naturally attract their followers to your profile.
Targets and KPIs:
- More engagement: Higher interaction on your posts thanks to strategic timing.
- New connections: Growth in relevant followers who add value to your network.
- Greater visibility: More exposure through interaction with competitors’ audiences.
