How to Improve LinkedIn Engagement
Post 3-5 times per week during business hours (Tuesday-Thursday, 8am-5pm EST). Use personal storytelling — LinkedIn users engage 3x more with personal stories than company announcements. Tag relevant people and companies. Ask questions in your posts to drive comments. Respond to every comment within 24 hours.
