Ed Weeks spent ten years building an 8,200-follower LinkedIn presence and booking countless meetings that never converted to paying clients. He's frustrated with the platform's low-quality advice and growth tactics, and is close to quitting.
I am telling you, I've almost given up on LinkedIn. I just see so much nonsense on there and so many people that are giving you solutions that are absolute bullshit that I just left. I will tell you this, in I think 10 years, maybe more, but I'll just go 10 years of trying to build LinkedIn and build it. I have 8,200 followers, so say 8,000 followers, lots of connections I have generated. $0, repeat, $0 in business from LinkedIn. And people say, well, you're not doing this. I have had people do it for me. I've done it myself. I've done all these things. You know what I've got? A lot of booked appointments on my calendar that never amounted to a hill of beans, and most people couldn't afford it.
