I have exactly one LinkedIn post I made recently after 12.5 years in my career as a software engineer. It was about supporting your local food banks during the government shutdown.

    How many impressions did it get? Did it extend your professional network?

    Did you also include a blurb about the shutdown being an opportunity for those affected to learn their new market segment to better develop their GTM strategy and increase their profitability? Or maybe you mentioned how you went to a food bank, but instead of handing out food you actually told the people in line about new ways for them to diversify their earnings potential and that by bringing a quarter over quarter increase in revenue they could be a sales driver that adds value to the team.

    🤣, I dunno but my CEO visited my sister's LinkedIn(she's the director of a local food bank). I work for a really big company so kinda crazy my CEO saw my post and went to my sister's profile (I gave her a shout-out because I'm proud of what she does.)

    That’s the real trick the lunatics don’t realize. If you post frequently it gets muted and added to the slop pile. If you almost never post social media (LinkedIn in this case) blasts that mother fucker far and wide in the hopes that it’ll give you a hit and have you coming back. I’m obviously in sales, which has a… well we make up like 95% of the LinkedIn lunatic posts. However for LinkedIn to be effective IMO it should have a farther reach. Rather than posting every few days like most of my colleagues I post like… once a quarter maybe. Usually just product announcements or talking about something I’m personally doing. Those posts do infinitely better than any of my cohorts slop posts. I really don’t get how they haven’t caught on, but sales isn’t known for having the highest IQ. 😅
