Unlocking the Secrets to Gaining 1 Million LinkedIn Followers
Written on
Chapter 1: The LinkedIn Phenomenon
The journey to acquiring a million LinkedIn followers in just 30 days is more straightforward than one might assume.
LinkedIn is often filled with posts that can be quite cringeworthy, and I confess to contributing significantly to that. I spend over 12 hours daily brainstorming viral content ideas, all from my mom’s basement. Amazingly, this dedication led me to garner a following of one million people within a month. Here’s how I did it:
Section 1.1: My Formula for Going Viral
The key to going viral lies in tugging at the heartstrings of your audience. A touching story of overcoming adversity can resonate well, but if your social life is as sparse as mine, feel free to craft an engaging narrative instead—most people can’t distinguish between fact and fiction.
Once you have your story, share how you persevered when others deemed you a failure. Don’t forget to sprinkle in some trendy buzzwords to captivate the corporate audience.
One of my favorite tricks to enhance engagement is a clever call to action. For instance, I often invite readers to comment if they aspire to make millions. This tactic draws in interactions like moths to a flame, thereby boosting the chances of my posts going viral.
Subsection 1.1.1: From Followers to Monetization
As my following grew, I faced my fears about monetization. Initially, I lacked a steady income and longed for financial improvement. So, I launched a pricey course for $997 and urged my audience to purchase it without delay.
My marketing approach was subtle at first; I shared motivational content encouraging self-investment. However, my true aim was to have them invest in my course. When sales stagnated around $20,000 monthly, I knew I had to take drastic measures.
Section 1.2: The Bold Move
In a moment of desperation, I decided to reach out to the CEO of LinkedIn for a promotional push. The best way to network, I’ve learned, is to approach with humility. Thus, I called Ryan Roslansky at an ungodly hour, vowing to keep my pitch brief.
“Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?” he queried.
“Because you’re the only one who can hear me out right now,” I replied. “To be among the elite, I’m ready to do what most wouldn’t consider.”
After some reluctance, Ryan agreed to promote my profile, provided I ceased bothering him. A few hours later, my profile soared to the top of LinkedIn feeds.
Within just 30 days, I had cultivated a loyal following of aspiring business professionals eager to make their mark online. All it took was one late-night call to the CEO of LinkedIn. To quote Michael Jordan:
“Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it or work around it.”
