I need to say this by full courage 99% of the content on Social Media is fake The content you see or read while scrolling are all very much filtered. In 99% time you are shown only the success part and fake numbers Because you want to seek appraisal , you want to feel important And this a normal human tendency and to fulfill that you narrate only your success With extra inflated numbers so that you will feel superior . This trend is just taking you from the reality and the person consuming it making them  feel inferior or FOMO. It’s okay to show your success but highlighting it everytime and telling you that you don’t face any failure is not okay at all. Life is all about ups & downs and nobody has been successful without failing. My only message from this post to the creators is to be authentic and share your journey or process, not just the success or inflated numbers, learn to be accountable. The person reading it might make a wrong decision and gets ruined with it. And posts with only wins are not going to help you grow and stay relevant for a long time You need to be authentic , showcase your journey & vulnerabilities to connect with your audience on a deeper level. P.S. What’s your thought on posts which mention “I earned 1 Million dollars in the past 1 year as a profit” ? #SocialMedia #Fake

Let’s understand the LinkedIn Algorithm in 2025, (Videos are no more trending) The Algorithm keeps changing all the time Just few months back video content were on demand The platform used to push all the informative videos But now it’s not the same. Here’s what the Algorithm looks like: 1) When you post a content , LinkedIn checks the quality of the content and before giving it a green flag  it checks whether it’s right to promote or push to your 1st degree connection. 2) Once it’s done , the content is shown to your 1st degree connections & then after their engagement , If it performs well then it pushes to your 2nd degree connections. 3) If the content performs well , It further pushes to 3rd degree or else it stops and gets between your 1st & 2nd degree. So for virality , You must make sure your content should reach out to your 3rd degree connection and it must get some good numbers. The content format that is getting an extra edge over other content is the cheat sheets & carousels. My Client content which was a Cheat-sheet went viral last week, So you can try with the cheat sheets. P.S. What type of content is performing well these days ? #Cheatsheet #Carousel #Algorithm

Take example of Youtube : We scroll on Youtube and watch the content which we like and have some value. Same way when you create content for yourself , Your content must be valuable , it must resonate with your audience. Just understand what your audience enjoys the most. By prioritizing your audience's enjoyment, You'll create content that keeps them coming back for more. P.S.

Trust is the most important aspect of your business Without trust you can’t sell anything Businesses run mainly through trust which they have built with their audience A trust is gained by sharing value, providing quality services / products. And Trust is built when you have a Personal Brand.

But you can’t get this wrong: Have a great following doesn’t mean you have a great Personal Brand You need to have quality followers which are active and really contribute to your success.

This content is dedicated to African Creators They deserve this appreciation. Supporting each other on LinkedIn: Best Part Just bothered about your growth: Not good Growing on LinkedIn is not only about posting You need to support other creators as well , to help them grow If they grow , they support you and it becomes a win-win situation. But here’s what I noticed recently, → We are not bothered about what others are doing → We don’t care whether they are posting consistently or not → We only focus on posting consistently and expect the creators to comment → When only few creators are left then you will get few engagements on profile Which is a big concern for you. So LinkedIn is a positive sum game. To win you need to make your community grow & win. To be consistent for a long term , You need the support of other creators. Today I would like to thank all the African creators who are there to support my content from day 1 and till today they are so good .

I'm breaking the "rules" of LinkedIn. Maybe you should too. They say post 7x a week.  ↳ I post 5x and get better results. They say engage 20 minutes before and after posting.  ↳ I dedicate a full hour daily for meaningful conversations. They say follow top creators' formulas.  ↳ I'm committed to learn, unlearn, and relearn my own path. They say the algorithm makes growth impossible. ↳ My community just crossed 16,000+ followers. They say you need 90 days to hit 10K.  ↳ It took me 15 months of consistent value-giving. They say getting clients on LinkedIn is a fantasy.  ↳ I've helped 40+ women coaches build their brands. Here's what I've learned: Your LinkedIn journey doesn't need to match anyone else's timeline. The "rules" were written by people who aren't you. Your authentic voice will always outperform borrowed strategies. What LinkedIn "rule" are you currently following that might be holding you back?
