3 quick hacks to grow your LinkedIn following (without ads)

Most people post and hope.

But growth on LinkedIn doesn’t happen by luck, it happens by using the platform strategically.

Here are 3 hacks that actually move the needle:

🔁 1. Comment like it’s your job

Spend 10–15 minutes a day commenting on posts from:

• Creators in your niche

• People you'd love to work with

• Accounts with active audiences

Why it works:
You show up in their feed and their followers’ feeds.
One thoughtful comment can get more reach than a post.

🧠 2. Post at least 3 times a week (consistently)

You don’t need to go viral. You just need to be visible.

This is a LONG-GAME.

The value and presence compound. But only if you continue to show up.

Stick to a few high-leverage content types:

• Stories

• Lessons learned

• Tactical tips

• Industry observations

Consistency > perfection. The algorithm rewards people who show up.

🎯 3. End every post with a soft CTA

The more engagement your posts get, the more people LinkedIn shows them to.

Add a question or prompt at the end of your post:

• “What’s your take on this?”

• “Agree or disagree?”

• “Curious—what would you do differently?”

Why it works: Comments drive reach. CTAs drive comments.

Truth is, you don’t need a big audience to grow on LinkedIn.

You need momentum, and that starts with action.

Start commenting. Start posting. Start asking. Give yourself the opportunity for compounding luck to find you.
