Forward from Andrew Edwards, co-founder of designACE 

Hey there, LinkedIn enthusiasts!

Andrew Edwards here, co-founder of designace.ca. If you’ve been following Part 1 of our LinkedIn Engagement Checklist, you’ve already taken significant steps toward optimizing your LinkedIn profile and making impactful connections.

Reflecting on my own LinkedIn journey, I remember the turning point vividly. It wasn’t just about having a stellar profile—it was about what I did with it every day. According to LinkedIn statistics, users who share content regularly are much more likely to be contacted for new opportunities​. This insight transformed my approach to the platform, motivating me to be consistent and strategic with my engagements.

Why Consistent Engagement Matters

LinkedIn is a dynamic platform where professionals from all walks of life converge to share ideas, seek opportunities, and build networks. Consistent engagement not only keeps you on top of your mind for your connections but also boosts your visibility on the platform. Another interesting fact is that LinkedIn posts with images receive 98% more comments than those without​​, emphasizing the need for visual content in your posts.

When I first committed to engaging daily, the results were astounding. I started small—liking posts, leaving thoughtful comments, and sharing valuable insights. Over time, these small, consistent actions compounded, leading to increased profile views, connection requests, and direct messages from potential collaborators.

Building Momentum with LinkedIn

One of the key strategies I implemented is what I like to call the "Momentum Maker." This 8-minute daily sprint ensures that I'm continually building and nurturing my network. It's a concise, effective routine designed to keep your LinkedIn presence active and engaging.

1️⃣Start Your Day with Likes

Begin by liking ten posts relevant to your field or interests. This simple action helps you stay active and keeps you visible to your network.

2️⃣Comment Thoughtfully

Take a few moments to leave meaningful comments on four posts. Engaging thoughtfully with content can spark discussions and deepen your professional relationships.

3️⃣Share and Add Value

Reshare an insightful post, adding your perspective to it. This not only helps you stay active but also positions you as a thought leader who contributes valuable insights.

4️⃣Respond to Interactions

Dedicate a couple of minutes to respond to new messages and comments. Timely responses show that you are approachable and engaged, encouraging more interaction.

Hot Tips for Maximizing Engagement

  • Gratitude Opens Doors: Always thank those who interact with your content. This simple act of appreciation can foster deeper connections.

  • Ask Questions: Show genuine interest by asking thoughtful questions about posts. This can turn casual interactions into meaningful conversations.

  • Match Their Energy: Reflect the tone and enthusiasm of your connections in your interactions. This builds rapport and strengthens relationships.

Consistency is Key

The "Momentum Maker" routine is all about consistency. By dedicating just 8 minutes a day, you can significantly boost your engagement and maintain a strong presence on LinkedIn. It’s these daily interactions that build the foundation for long-term success and open doors to new opportunities.
