What Can I Write On LinkedIn?

Only 1% of LinkedIn Users Create Content

How do you become one of the 1% gang?

You write content, even if you struggle, you should get started and make more of your LinkedIn account. All of my business comes from what I have done on LinkedIn

Here's my thoughts for this week. Every week I create a newsletter to help you to write your own content.

How was your week?

What have you done in the last week that you can write about? There has to be something. Have you been busy or maybe you're trying to cram everything in because of the holiday season looming?

I am so Overwhelmed

Not because of the work, but because last week was just the most amazing week for me following the launch of my book. Everyone has been so kind and generous with their comments, help, support and even buying the book.

I've also had some lovely reviews on Amazon. Now that is weird!

My feed on LinkedIn was off the scale and I guess that if you commented on my posts you may have seen increased activity on your profile too. It would be interesting to hear how you got on this week if you did.

Because of the busy week, there will be lots to write about.

I started doing a gratitude post on a Friday and noticed a few other people following suit. It's a great way for us to realise how well we are actually doing and a great opportunity to say thanks publicly.

Here's Friday's Gratitude post if you missed it or would like some ideas.

What are you grateful for?

Have a great week and please shout if you have any questions

all the best

Ashley

PS. Did I mention my new book? It's on Amazon HERE if you want 101 Content Ideas

More new ideas for YOU to create content this week

There is content everywhere and by doing a little bit each week you'll soon get into the habit of creating content. You'll get into a swing and start thinking about content more often.

Before you'll be writing a book too! Honest, how do think I got this far, just a little bit of content a few times a week and then a bit more to where I am now with 7 new posts every week.

If you want a hand, please shout.

There are some different ideas this week, so come on, what's stopping you?

Tips for Stress With the Christmas rush coming do you feel stressed with everything that needs to be done? I made the Christmas cake on Saturday! Do you have any tips that you could share because I guess everyone is feeling a bit stressed at the moment? What do you do, or are you in control? Do you meditate, or maybe outsource some of your Christmas to other relatives? Does your partner help? Christmas Present Ideas Are you writing your list and checking it twice? Do you know what to get your family and friends? Do you have any ideas that you can share with us? I'm thinking of a lady in her 50s if you have any ideas, please? And what about my 80 yr old dad? You could so a top ten list of gifts for dads! This could give you a full series of content eh? Do you give your team members presents? What about those secret Santa ideas? Plenty to write about on this topic!

Black Friday Are you fed up with all the Black Friday deals? Or is this YOUR opportunity to create a bit of activity around your offerings? Love it or hate Friday this week sees Black Friday again. But how about sharing your top five deals that you've seen? Or how about reminding people of the five reasons you don't need a Black Friday Deal for your offers? The Autumn Statement It's here. The government are trying to sort out the UK's finances which meant the Autumn Statement. You can write about how it has affected you or maybe you are an Accountant or Bookkeeper you could simplify it for us. Do you have any highlights from the statement that you can share? The LinkedIn Document post is a great way to share this. I talked about this a few weeks ago and created this video to show you how. Winter Walks We went out on a lovely walk yesterday morning. Dew on the grass, mist around the rivers and a stunning sky. And a cracking cooked breakfast when we. got home. Do you have any special walks that you enjoy at this time of year? Do you have a favourite cafe that you aim to en route? What other walking traditions do you have? You could also use this post as a great place to share your stunning photos. And what's better than getting out into nature to kick back and take stock? If you get stuck, just shout. Don't forget my video explaining all of the above. WATCH the video here. I know that I say this EVERY WEEK, but I am here to help so if you have any questions please drop them on the Private Alumni Group pages or send me a DM on LinkedIn.

Do you want to meet me and other local business owners here in Sidmouth?

If you missed the first ever LinkedIn Local (Sidmouth) And the second one and the next one?

Please do not worry. We are here to stay and will be bringing this informal networking meeting to you on the 4th Thursday of every second month.

Our Fourth event is in November

I love LinkedIn and I love Sidmouth, so why not combine them both?

There are not many networking opportunities for us here in East Devon so I'm seeing what interest we can get in our lovely town. It's not for profit, there's no agenda, it's just a platform to meet local like-minded business people on our doorstep rather than having to dash around the countryside.

I'll be sharing some LinkedIn tips and we'll also have the lovely Odessa Sherreard on hand to tell us a little about how we can construct great content on our social media.

But more importantly, there will be plenty of time to meet new people and catch up with old friends. It's a networking event, not a sales event, nor is it a space for top speakers. Proper informal and friendly, so if you are hoping to pitch your business and make loads of sales, then maybe this is not for you.

The Lovely Daisy and Simon from the Balfour Arms are giving up their time and their wonderful restaurant to enable us to host this for free, but as she is putting on Breakfast Baps and free tea and coffee we've kept the costs down to a nominal £3.00 (includes Eventbrite fees)

Here's how it all started

In June of 2017, LinkedIn Local was started in Australia by Anna McAfee because she to wanted to meet her LinkedIn connections offline and used the #LinkedInLocal in the post. Piquing other people's interest, #LinkedInLocal went global to 4 global communities in its first month and quickly fanned a flame that set the world alight.

Over 2 years the community grew from the initial 4 cities to 1,000+ communities, in 1,000 cities and 100 countries run by LinkedIn users for LinkedIn users. It was an organic grass-roots movement centred around the values of Authenticity, Inclusivity, Collaboration and Respect.

We have a few places in Sidmouth this Thursday. BOOK HERE
