One error that i see is the practice of treating linkedIn as a numbers game, whereby connections are accumulated without any consideration regarding whether there is any reason to remain connectied. Having fewer connections that know your work is better than having hundreds who do not.
I believe that the biggest mistake people make is treating LinkedIn as a medium where one need to shout and not connect. Individuals keep posting all the time without offering any meaning full comment or contacting other individuals for meaningful connections. It is often better to have fewer people with more genuine discussions.
In my opinion, the greatest fault here lies in attempting to project expertise rather than showcasing one own thinking process. I have seen many profiles offering great advice receive next to no engagement due to the fact that all postings seems to follow the same LinkedIn advice manual. For me, postings that worked well comes straight from experience.
ok but like how do you even balance thoughtful commenting at scale tho?? cause if your trying to network consistantly AND post regularly AND engage meaningfully on other peoples content — that litteraly sounds like a full time job on its own?? like is there a point where you have to choose wich one to prioritize or is the whole thing only sustainable if you go all in on all three at once??
