A creator explains how to mine LinkedIn comments for your own post ideas and boost engagement with the algorithm. Watch what people ask in comments, answer those questions in your own posts, and let their curiosity guide your content.
I've noticed that with the LinkedIn algorithm, and I'm not an algorithm geek, but I just have some hypotheses. I feel like when I'm more active commenting on other people's posts around the time that my post is out, it seems to do better. I don't have any data to back that up. Just what I feel. And then also commenting and replying to your own stuff is really important. And I also get a ton of content ideas from something that I might write on somebody else's post. Because a post in the feed, like, I'm on Kate's profile now, something that she wrote might actually be a prompt for me. It's like a trick you can play. It's a game you can play. This is a prompt for me. I'm going to write a couple lines. I have a bigger following, so I think this helps. But like, I might get a hundred likes on a comment that I wrote on somebody else's post and now that's a signal for me that, oh, this is another topic.
