🍴Are you doing this on LinkedIn?

It's just as important as content creation.

I don’t want that to feel like a clickbait subject line, so I’m jumping right in.

Are you taking the time to leave comments on other people’s LinkedIn content?

If you are, great! Keep doing it!

If you’re not, now is the perfect time to start.

If you’re thinking, nice, another thing to add to my to-do list.

Don’t worry. This isn’t a heavy lift.

Here’s how I do it. I think it can help you build the habit.

Every weekday morning, I spend around five minutes scrolling through my feed and leaving comments on people’s posts.

This is like my commenting starter because, throughout the day, I’ll go back and leave more comments when I have a few minutes to spare.

I suggest adding a five-minute meeting on your calendar for the same time every weekday. Pick a time you can stick with.

That way, you won’t forget because you’ll get a calendar notification.

This will help you get into a routine.

Then, once you get used to commenting at your determined time, add a few more minutes throughout the day to do it again.

I comment on people’s posts for a few reasons.

Here are the top three:

If I want people to engage with my posts, I need to comment on other people’s content. Engagement is like a boomerang. What you give out, you *should* get back. Reciprocity, baby!
I follow insanely talented and smart people. Their posts get my creative juices flowing and spark my own content creation. Plus, I love commenting on their posts to boost their reach. They deserve it.
Building on the last point, I often turn my comments on other people’s content into my own posts. Check out🍴Comments are Content for details on how to do this!
