It isn't that I don't like them, it's just that I don't learn via visuals. But, many of you do - so here is one that my good friend Vincent Pierri made for me. Because, well he is good at making them and I am not. I recently shared a post about how I pushed over 450K people to view my profile since I started sharing content here, this is what I shared via text: How to do it: 1 - Comment often on other's content because this puts your name in rooms you have never been in before. Not just little comments because you feel like you have to but deep and interesting thought filled engagement. And for the LOVE OF ALL THINGS LINKEDIN - please stop engaging solely with your 1st degree connections. Aim for 15 comments per day to new people. 2 - Create content from 4 pillars, you can't look the same daily. Make sure people know where you came from, what you do for work, what you do outside of work and who you hang out with 3 - Follow 5 people daily, many of you expect followers but never follow anyone. 4 - Connect with humans you actually want to engage with, it is wildly important to actually take a look at someone's profile before you add them into your sphere. Do they post? Do they engage? Can you learn from them? Do you have common connections? Are they kind? Do they add value to you? Can you add value to them? 5 - Recognize people when they actually visit your page. Closed my largest deal of the year with a CMO of a massive org by simply saying, "Mark! Thanks for stopping by, appreciate you." Went on to coach his entire revenue org out west. 6 - Don't be afraid to click the repost (don't add thoughts) when you see good content in your feed, I am tracking this data hard right now and my profile views deeply spike when I do this - gets you into another sphere of talented humans. 7 - DM's are everything. New connections, dm them. Old connections, dm them. Introduce people to people in DMs (did you know you can send group dms to folks? yea that is a game changer) 8 - Be sure your profile is complete. Headline easy to read, like 5th grade level. About section filled out. Featured section done. Banner photo complete. Recommendations down below. The list goes on but you have to have get your house in order here if you want people to come visit. Ok. That is enough now, go do some of this stuff and watch what happens over the next 15 months. Your mind will be blown by the opportunities that fall into your lap after 450 days of consistency!! darrenmckee.co 531social.com Yes.

When you say you don't learn through visuals, is it just a preference, or would you say it's how your brain is wired? If it’s the latter, you fall into that rare 5% of true non-visual learners. Which, as a visual thinker, I find almost impossible to grasp Like Reply 1 Reaction 2 Reactions Shayna Cavanaugh 1d Report this comment If you're not sure where to comment: think of some of the things from your career that light you up, that you could talk about all day and pop one of those terms into the search bar. Filter by post, and now you're in the "rooms" with likeminded people, talking about things you're excited for. It's so much easier to comment here, and you'll meet new connections that you really have something in common with.
