“It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n roll” (AC/DC). Or as someone else once said, it takes years to become an overnight success. LinkedIn’s a bit like that too.

It certainly shouldn’t take years, but growing your business through LinkedIn does take patience and a ‘long game’ mentality. Trust takes time, so don’t expect a flood of leads from a few posts.

And not every post is going to perform the way you expect it to. So when some posts don’t get a large number of views, don’t panic.

Maybe that post just didn’t seem as relevant as others to your audience. Review it through their eyes, not yours, and maybe ask a few connections for direct feedback.

Maybe it was just a busy day for your connections and they didn’t spend any time on LinkedIn so they missed it.

Whatever the reason that post or a few others didn’t get brilliant traction is no reason to give up. It takes many points of contact with your content for your audience to see you as a trusted sage.

While it’s definitely a long game, there are ways to accelerate your results.

You need to leverage the full potential of the four pillars of success on LinkedIn.
