Building relationships and authority is a key factor in growing your career. LinkedIn is the perfect platform to use to interact with other like-minded professionals. Not only will commenting on articles and posts on LinkedIn
help you get on the radar of influencers or thought leaders, it will also increase awareness of you and generate more views of your LinkedIn profile.
LinkedIn rewards people who post engaging content and comments. In other words, the reward you get from commenting is more visibility. When you comment or share content from people who are influential in your
industry, you get noticed. And simply liking a post isn’t enough to improve your profile’s visibility. By leaving meaningful comments on LinkedIn posts, you gain the attention of the author, the author’s network and others.
Below are strategies to help you write engaging comments on LinkedIn.
General Commenting Guidelines
There are no rules per se, but there are guidelines or etiquette you should follow. Keep these things in mind:
- Be professional at all times
- Be civil. Do not slander, criticize or insult other commenters
- Check grammar, punctuation, spelling before submitting comments
