4d ago00:14:51Tap to summarizeWhat if the reason your LinkedIn content is not generating clients… has nothing to do with the quality of your content itself?Most people are focused on getting more visibility, more impressions, and more engagement.But LinkedIn is shifting.The content getting the best results right now is not just attracting attention. It is creating action, conversations, profile clicks, and buyer intent.In this training, I break down why high-intent content is outperforming broad awareness content, why short “micro-proof” posts are building trust faster than long case studies, and what the LinkedIn algorithm appears to be rewarding right now behind the scenes.I also talk about why some content gets likes but never turns into leads or clients, and how to create posts that actually move people toward conversations and opportunities.If your content is getting engagement but not business results, this training will help you understand what needs to change.Is your LinkedIn Account Ready to Make You Money?

The Executive's Approach To LinkedIn Content
1w ago00:29:14Tap to summarizeHi! I'm Kaila Vander Horn, and I'm the Social Director at Speedwork.I've been in marketing for 11+ years. I work with B2B companies and executives to create LinkedIn content people actually want to read. My work includes: executive ghostwriting, company page strategy, and building a consistent presence for brands across SaaS, fintech, and AI.I personally write 100+ LinkedIn posts per month and spend most of my time inside the feed studying what performs and why. LinkedIn doesn’t follow the same rules as other platforms, and there’s no clear playbook. My approach is grounded in pattern recognition, testing, and consistency.Through the strategies I've led, my clients have gained 175K+ new followers.Connect with Kaila here: www.linkedin.com/in/kailavanderhornhttps://speedworksocial.com/Don't forget to download our FREE High Impact LinkedIn Post Templates here:https://www.thetimetogrow.com/ecsposttemplates

Transcribe →The 3 Most Misleading LinkedIn Myths You Are Being Told
3w ago00:14:54Tap to summarizeThere’s a lot of bad advice being shared about LinkedIn right now.And honestly?Some of it is costing people their time, money, credibility… and even putting their accounts at risk.That’s exactly why I recorded today’s episode.Not to call people out.But to protect people from falling for tactics that don’t work anymore.Here are 3 of the biggest LinkedIn myths I’m seeing right now:1. “You can generate hundreds or thousands of leads a month on LinkedIn.”No, you can’t.At least not in the way most people are advertising it.A connection request is not a lead.- A lead is a real conversation.- A booked call.- An actual opportunity.The math alone doesn’t support the claims people are making.2. “Just post consistently, and the content itself doesn’t matter.”This is among the worst pieces of advice I have seen.LinkedIn does not reward random content.It rewards relevant content.- Content that teaches.- Content that solves problems.- Content that creates thought leadership.- Content that leaves your audience better after reading it.Posting just to “check the box” is not a strategy.3. “Engagement pods help beat the algorithm.”Nope.LinkedIn has openly discussed cracking down on repetitive engagement activity.And beyond that…Fake engagement does not build real business relationships.Vanity metrics don’t pay the bills.Meaningful conversations do.The truth is this:There are no shortcuts on LinkedIn.- No hacks.- No secret loopholes.- No magic automation.The people getting results are building trust through quality content, strategic conversations, and consistency over time.That’s what actually works.Click below to download our free guide for "3 High Impact Post Templates" to create more sales opportunities from your LinkedIn content: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/ecsposttemplates

Transcribe →Your LinkedIn Messaging Is The Issue...Not Your Content Itself
4w ago00:12:54Tap to summarizeOne of the biggest realizations I’ve had about LinkedIn recently is this:Most people don’t have a content problem.They have a messaging problem.I see people posting consistently…- Creating videos…- Running polls…- Sharing carousels and newsletters…But the message inside the content is not connecting with the audience they actually want to attract.That’s the difference.LinkedIn is not about posting just to stay visible.It’s about creating content with a clear purpose:- Solving real problems- Addressing real struggles- Sharing real experiences- Building know, like, and trustIf your audience cannot quickly understand:- Who you help- What you help them solve- Why your insight matters…the content will not convert into conversations.One thing I’ve noticed from my recent content is this:The posts performing the best are not the “perfect” ones.They are the relevant ones.- The polls asking specific questions.- The case studies.- The infographics breaking down problems people are actively struggling with.- The trainings that provide practical action steps.That is what creates engagement.- Not random posting.- Not trendy content with no substance.- Not posting more just for the sake of frequency.Quality and relevance will always outperform noise.Your LinkedIn content should make your audience feel understood while also positioning you as the trusted expert who can help them move forward.So before your next post, ask yourself:Is this content actually helping someone solve a problem…Or am I just posting to post?

May 400:11:33Tap to summarizePeople are seeing your content…But they’re not reaching out.And it’s not because your content isn’t good enough.It’s because there’s no bridge between visibility and conversation.Most people post… and wait.They assume the right people will just message them when they’re ready.That rarely happens.Here’s what’s actually missing:You’re not continuing the conversation with the people already engaging.- The likes-The comments.-The poll votes.-The silent viewers.Those are warm touchpoints.That’s where the opportunity is.Instead of waiting…Start reaching out.-Not to pitch.-Not to sell.-But to connect based on the content they already showed interest in.Your content creates awareness.Your conversations create clients.Are you waiting for people to come to you… Or are you starting the conversation?Click below to download our free guide for "3 High Impact Post Templates" to create more sales opportunities from your LinkedIn content: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/ecsposttemplates
