Looking to generate more leads on LinkedIn? Join the Club. Well, listen in. I’ve got some ideas for you.
Don’t overcomplicate getting leads or increasing visibility on LinkedIn. Here are some marketing tips to help you.
- Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile: Sounds like a no brainer. Just make sure your profile accurately represents you and your brand. Use keywords that describe your skills and services, and showcase your best work in the portfolio section.
- Join Relevant LinkedIn Groups: Find groups related to your industry and join them. Engage in discussions, share relevant content, and connect with other members to expand your network.
- Leverage LinkedIn Publishing: One of my favorites. Share thought-leadership articles on LinkedIn to establish yourself as an expert in your field. This can drive traffic to your profile. That’s the point, right?
- Connect with Your Target Audience: Use LinkedIn’s advanced search features to find and connect with potential customers who fit your target demographic. Be sure to personalize your connection requests to increase your chances of being accepted.
- Think about LinkedIn Ads: LinkedIn Ads are a great way to reach your target market. Target your ads based on job title, industry, company size, and more. Test slowly and track your results.
- Host Virtual Events: Host webinars, online workshops, or Q&A sessions to connect with potential customers. And, don’t forget to promote your event on LinkedIn to reach a wider audience.
Of course, you want to engage regularly and post content as an expert. But make room for these ideas in your marketing plan, too.

- Influencer videos: Collaborate with influencers to create videos. It’s a great way to reach a new audience and increase engagement. Find an influencer that shares your audience, values, and mission.
- Behind-the-scenes videos: You’ve seen a million of them. Behind-the-scenes videos give you a glimpse into the day-to-day operations of a brand or company. They humanize your brand.
- Tutorials and How-to videos: A How-to video doesn’t need to be a major production. You can produce these on your iPhone. They provide value to your followers by teaching them something new.
- Time-lapse videos: Time-lapse videos are great for showing the process of making something, plus they’re visually engaging. Experiment on your phone and see what you come up with.
- Product demos: Showcase how a product works. Product demos can help increase conversions and drive sales. Look at Amazon for inspiration.
- User-generated content: UGC or user-generated content is more believable than what you post. Reposting videos from your followers helps build community, increase engagement, and gives your audience social proof.
- Humorous or entertaining videos: Laughter levels the playing field. It’s a universal language and a great way to connect with your audience.

If you’re wondering what’s the difference between digital marketing, digital PR and social PR, stay tuned.
Ok let’s get some marketing and public relations definitions straight here.
Digital Marketing
Digital Marketing refers to the promotion of products and services through digital channels, like search engines, websites, social media, email, and mobile apps. These are the channels you’re probably using every day to market your business.
Digital PR
Digital PR is the use of digital media to manage and build your online reputation and image of your brand or personal brand. It’s about creating and sharing content, engaging your community and influencers, and managing online crisis communication. Oooh, better be prepared for that. Don’t give your social media keys to just anyone!
Social PR
Think of it as a subset of digital PR. Social PR focuses on leveraging social media platforms to build your brand reputation and engagement. It involves creating and sharing content, enhancing engagement, and again – the necessary management of online crisis communication — specifically on social media channels.
There’ll be no quiz here, but I just want to make sure you understand the differences between digital marketing, digital PR, and Social PR.
