1. Define your positioning.
2. Optimize your profile.
3. Send connection requests without pitches. Accept connection requests.
4. Comment on others' content (VERY IMPORTANT).
5. Post content. If your current posts don't get enough attention, do #1-4 and try to change the format of your posts. Try free templates, infographics, or entertaining content.
6. Respond to thoughtful DMs.
7. Create intersections between other channels.
- If you already have an audience on Twitter, invite them to connect with you on LinkedIn.
- Share your link on Product Hunt/other channels.
- Visit podcasts and mention that you're active on LinkedIn.

Wow, that's really helpful for beginner like me! Thank you!
I live the same life, and have the exact same experience with LinkedIn. I'm not at 28k, yet :), but keeping it simple, without fancy DMs, being active in sending out connection requests and accepting the incoming ones have my my main growth reasons as well.
Awesome tips. Thank you
Thats nice
That's an impressive achievement! I'd love to know more about how you defined your positioning and optimized your profile on LinkedIn. Any specific tips or resources you can share? Also, have you found any particular strategies that have worked well for creating intersections between LinkedIn and other channels? Thanks in advance for your insights!
Super inspiring! Thanks for your tips :)
Impressive!
Regarding the 3rd:
I did experiments, sending connections with or without messages.
Conversion was 2-3 times higher with notes β up to 40% versus 10-15% without.
Did you experiment with both? Are numbers comparable?

@kostyabolsh I send all requests without notes. But I appreciate with people include *useful* notes.
@olenabomko, there is a format that scares me to death
Inmail with A4 amount of text. Received one today, almost made me cry

Love your content and consistency!
Really great tips, thanks a lot for sharing Olena!
I will emphasize point 5. There's nothing attractive about a dead account where its recent activity goes to a year ago! Comment, start a newsletter, or report interesting content, just don't go radio silence for long in there.
Great achievements, Olena!!! And as always, very precise and to-the-point advice!!
