I created my LinkedIn account 60 weeks ago.
Since then I’ve generated roughly $270,000 in direct revenue from LinkedIn and grown to about 12,500 connections.
Easiest algo to crack by a country mile.
Here is the exact system I’m using right now:

Let me start with some random notes:
Proof based content continues to outperform everything else on average.
By proof, I mean posts that show a real metric, revenue, traffic, pipeline, conversions and then add concise context and end with a clear business takeaway.
Dwell time still matters a lot too.
When people read the full post, swipe multiple carousel slides or pause on video, the post stays active longer in feeds.
First hour replies from people outside your immediate network remain one of the strongest visibility signals you can influence.
On platform formats still beat outbound links.
Text posts, carousels, and native short video outperform link posts on average.
Link posts without setup consistently underperform.
That said, lower reach link posts can still drive revenue if intent is high.
Distribution and conversion are different problems.
If you include a link, deliver value first and either change the preview image or place the link in the comments.
Topic consistency increases reach.
Posting repeatedly around the same core topic strengthens how LinkedIn categorizes your profile.
Your posts then get shown to people who already engage with that topic.
That leads to higher quality early engagement and better comment depth.
Cross niche engagement still expands early reach.
Engaging consistently in 2 to 3 adjacent topic areas with substantive comments pushes your content into overlapping networks.
Generic likes do very little at this point.
High quality comments that add insight trigger more second level engagement.
Reposting with a new hook still works.
Most of your connections never saw the original post.
Repost after 1 to 3 weeks with a new angle, updated context, or clearer outcome.
Posts with replies to replies stay active longer.
Multi level comment threads extend post lifespan by days compared to shallow comment sections.
My posting routine has not changed:
I post 3 times per day, every day.
Morning is proof driven or a strong point of view.
Afternoon is a carousel, teardown, or case study.
Evening is a lesson, system, or actionable walkthrough.
Skipping even one day reduces reach the following 24 hours.
Formats performing best right now:
Carousels with a bold first slide tied to a clear outcome or pain point, followed by 3 to 6 concise slides with steps or visuals, and a final slide with a specific next step request.
Short native videos under 60 seconds with subtitles.
The hook needs to land in the first 2 to 4 seconds.
Walkthrough and behind the scenes videos continue to outperform polished talking head content when the information is specific and useful.
What is underperforming:
Link out posts with no setup.
Metrics with no narrative context.
Large unspaced text blocks.
Generic observations that could apply to anyone.
Posts where the author does not reply to comments in the first hour.
My engagement strategy:
Comment on 20 to 30 posts per day with real insight tied to the post.
Like 50 or more posts per day.
Reply to every comment on your own posts within the first hour.
DM 5 to 10 people per day with context first value tied to something they posted.
Ask follow up questions inside comment threads to deepen discussion.
Repeat engagement from the same people increases later session distribution.
Hooks performing best right now:
“I started this account 60 weeks ago. Here is what $270,000 in LinkedIn revenue actually looks like.”
“This 4 slide carousel booked 5 calls in 24 hours.”
“If I had to rebuild my LinkedIn from zero today, this is the exact system I would use.”
“My 3 post per day routine for consistent inbound.”
“I made X this month from LinkedIn. Here is the breakdown.”
Every hook must be backed by proof.
Without proof, credibility drops immediately.
Here is a 30 day plan that still works:
Post 3 times per day with at least 1 proof based post.
Comment on 20 to 30 posts daily with substance.
Like 50 or more posts per day.
Reply to every comment within the first hour.
Repost a winner weekly with a new angle.
DM 5 to 10 people per day with context first value.
Track impressions, comment depth, leads, and repeating commenters weekly.
Test hooks, formats, and timing every week.
Run this system for 30 days.
Screenshot your Day 31 results.
Tag me when inbound starts.
