Using LinkedIn Groups for Networking and Monetization

I’ve been exploring LinkedIn groups lately, and it’s kind of wild how much potential there is if you use them right. Some people are super active, posting insights, commenting, sharing resources, and they seem to get noticed, build connections, and even get leads. Others just lurk quietly, and it’s harder to see results from that.

From my experience, showing up consistently and providing value seems to matter more than just joining groups. But I’d love to hear from others, how do you use groups for networking or monetization? Do you get better results being active, or is lurking enough if you pick the right groups?

Lurking does nothing, LinkedIn groups only pay off if you're visible.

Best approach: pick 2-3 niche groups, comment genuinely on other people's posts, and drop value bombs occasionally without being salesy. That's how the DMs start rolling in. Groups aren't for direct selling, they're for positioning yourself as the go-to person in that space.
