Frequently Asked Questions
Easy! You start posting on LinkedIn. Make sure you post often and try to create content that gets good engagement rate. The rankings will be updated daily and you can come back here to check them and where you stand.
We will also be sending email with the following purposes:
- Giving you tips on how to grow your LinkedIn audience
- Letting you know what rewards and prizes you unlocked
You may opt out of those emails in the unsubscribe link, but in that case we’ll have no way of reaching out if you do win something.
We take into account several parameters to determine the ranking. We don’t simply look at absolute reach or number of likes because those are very biased in favor of already large accounts. Our goal with this challenge is to show that anyone can experience high growth and build a personal brand on LinkedIn.
So even though absolute numbers are a part of the formula, they are definitely not the only parameter. We also integrate engagement rate, follower growth rate, and consistency of posting into our ranking formula to even things out and give everyone a chance to win.
We prefer not to reveal the exact formula because we don’t want anyone to twist it in their favor. In addition, since this is the very first edition of the LinkedIn Growth Challenge, changes to the formula may be made to account for anomalies and strange behavior.
