What’s the problem? People aren’t taking advantage of using LinkedIn in their content distribution efforts

Establish right away that you know what the world looks like for them—and what it could look like. Vividly paint the picture. All world-saving performances are transformational experiences for your audience. Start out by showing “here’s what you’ve got today, and here’s how it could be.” This builds immediate rapport and hooks the audience’s interest. You know them. You understand them. You’ve got their back … and you’ve got a better way.

I used to think of opportunity as this formula: Consistency + Trust = Opportunity and I’m now finding that it’s more of Trust + Top-of-Mind Marketing = Opportunity is more accurate. But how do you build trust? That involves a lot of moving parts. Picture trust as a tree, and its branches include authenticity, education, helpfulness, familiarity, and likability.
Focus on education today — with other aspects of trust, there are so many gifts/favors I can give out. But when it comes to education and content, the sky is the limit.
Top of mind communication/mindset/mentality has been around for years
Direct mailers, banner ads, etc. but what I just talked bout authenticity, familiarity, likability can all be in content, and you can do a great job. But the traditional tactics did not. That’s where you’re seeing this rise come from.
People want to be educated, they want that human-to-human connection
The era of the informed customer
Over time, Plated sends me articles on kitchen essentials and cooking hacks (which blew my mind, by the way - who knew you could ripen bananas in the oven? Worth a watch, folks).
The point here, is that they care — they created content because they wanted to educate and help readers
And what’s better? They stayed top of mind. So when my wife told me she’d like me to start cooking, what was the first thing that came to mind? Plated.
Not the grocery store or how in the world I was going to try to make a fancy dish — I thought of Plated.
Personalization — You want people to feel like James Bond at Disney World. You’re just freaking awesome.

***FOR JOHN PRESENTER NOTES: The time goes as follows:
1. You read about a service online through an article, but don’t have a need for it ATM
2. Follow their column and their Twitter because you resonated with their personal experience
3. RT a quote from their article months later
4. Noticed another company that you trust just did a webinar with that company
5. A friend asks you about this service and you mention you read the CEO’s article on Forbes and recommend checking them out
6. Someone in your company brings up that you need that service that you had read about earlier (not immediate need)
7. Instantly you think of all the interactions you’ve had (aka building trust)
8. Go to CEO’s personal Twitter > visit company homepage to find out more information
9. Fill out a contact form or reach out and begin the buyer journey

Use tracking URLs! Everything has an ROI, including your LinkedIn posts, and to increase that ROI, you have to measure your content. Without utilizing a tracking URL when linking back to your company blog or website, you risk losing important data on what posts are directing readers to your site. But with a tracking URL you can easily identify what articles and topics resonate most with your readers, as objectively shown by the metrics.
