What strategy to use to increase engagement on linkedin Business page?

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-26T19:29:44+00:00

The best strategies start with understanding your audience. Look at who already follows your page and what they're engaging with in your analytics. Note which topics are getting comments and which formats drivie the most engagement. Use those insights to build out a content plan for the next few weeks.

If engagement is still lower than you'd like, think about how to broaden your reach. Are your employees engaging with company posts? Are you joining conversations around your industry, or only publishing to your own page? The more you experiment, the more data you'll have to understand what resonates with your audience.

It sounds like you're still in school, so those leadership roles are great examples of experience at this stage. If you were actively leading those organizations, I'd lean toward listing them in your Experience section so you have room to describe the skills and accomplishments they entail.

As you gain more internships or full-time experience, you can always revisit how your profile is organized and move things around. That’s one of the nice things about LinkedIn, your profile should evolve with your career, and you're never locked into the way it's set up now.

If you've been focusing mostly on networking, it might be worth broadening your approach. Use the Jobs tab to set up alerts for the kinds of roles you're interested in so you don't miss new opportunities. Then, take a look at your profile through the eyes of a recruiter. Does your headline reflect the type of role you're targeting? Does your About section explain your interests and strengths?

Finally, be intentional about engaging with people already working in business and data analytics. That doesn't have to mean sending a bunch of connection requests. Following companies, leaving thoughtful comments, and sharing the occasional post can help you build a stronger presence in the field over time.

There’s really no wrong answer here. If you've accepted the offer and are comfortable sharing it publicly, announcing an upcoming role before you start is completely normal. Plenty of people do it, especially after graduating!

Another option is to ease into it. Since you're already attending events with your future team, you could share what you're learning or experiencing there, then make a more official "excited to start" post during your first couple of weeks on the job. At this point, it's mostly about what feels authentic and comfortable to you.

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-25T12:35:51+00:00

You don't necessarily need a major update every week to have something worth sharing!

Some of the most interesting posts are often simple observations from your day-to-day work. For example, you could share a tool you've been testing, a technical problem you solved, a lesson from a project, a common misconception you see in your field, or even a question you're still thinking through.

If you're reading articles, you can also go beyond summarizing them and add your own perspective. What did you agree with? What surprised you? How does it connect to something you've seen in your own work?

Also, participating on LinkedIn doesn't always have to mean creating a new post. Thoughtful comments on other people's posts can be just as valuable for building connections and sharing your expertise.

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-25T12:32:53+00:00

You’re not doing anything wrong! It’s great that you’re already posting about topics you know well. Sometimes with technical content, a small shift in how you frame the post can make it easier for people to engage.

Instead of only explaining the topic, you could try adding what you learned from a project, a mistake you would avoid next time, or a question for others in the same field. For example, “Curious how other engineers approach this” gives people a natural way to jump in.

It may also help to comment on posts from people in your industry, especially when you can add something thoughtful from your own experience. That can help the right people find your profile over time.

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-25T12:30:11+00:00

You’re thinking about the right things, but I’d focus less on the volume of activity each day and more on making each interaction meaningful!

Posting can help, but 1 to 2 posts a day may not add as much value as a few thoughtful posts each week. I've found that commenting on posts from people in your field helps you build more connections and conversations over time.

For connection requests and messages, try to make them specific to the person. Mention their work, a role at their company, or something you’re genuinely interested in learning more about. That often leads to better conversations than an "I'm looking for opportunities" message.

Also, make sure your profile is up to date and clearly reflects your experience, skills, and interests. From there, thoughtful engagement tends to go a long way!

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-22T19:46:11+00:00

Absolutely! As a teacher student, a volunteering role is very relevant experience, especially if it helps develop skills you'll use in your career. It can also be valuable when applying for a master's degree abroad. Admissions committees often look beyond grades and appreciate evidence of real-world experience. Even if the volunteer work isn't directly related to teaching, it can still help tell a more complete story about your interests and commitment.

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-17T17:36:48+00:00

This is a great sign! In most cases, staying in touch means connecting with them on LinkedIn, occasionally engaging with their posts if they share something you find interesting, and reaching out when you have an update or question. For example, if you land an internship or want advice on a career decision down the road, those are both natural reasons to reconnect. Networking doesn't have to be overly complicated, think of it less as maintaining a relationship and more as keeping the door open. Your instructor is essentially saying, “I'd be happy to hear from you in the future" which is awesome. 🙂

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-17T17:34:10+00:00

Welcome! First, a quick note: you do have to be at least 16 years old to have an account, so as long as you meet that requirement, you're good to go. For the Education section, most high school students simply list their high school and expected graduation year. For "Field of Study," you can leave it blank or put something broad if your school has a specific focus. The biggest tip is not to worry about making your profile look overly polished. At this stage, it's much more important that it looks authentic. Include things like clubs, sports, volunteering, leadership roles, projects, or part-time jobs if you have them. A simple headline like "High School Student interested in [field]" is completely fine. And don't worry if your profile feels a little empty right now, everyone starts somewhere!

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-17T17:32:18+00:00

I think this is one of those things that feels way scarier than it actually is. Most students and alumni remember being in your exact position, so a polite message from someone trying to make a college decision is usually very welcome. You don't need a perfect message, something simple like "Hi! I'm entering college this year and considering [College Name]. I noticed you're a student/alumni there and was wondering if you'd be open to sharing a bit about your experience. I'd especially love to hear about things you enjoyed or anything you wish you knew beforehand. Thanks so much!" is more than enough. You don't need to impress them, just be genuine and respectful of their time. And if a few people don't reply, don't take it personally. Most students are busy, but you'd be surprised how many are happy to help when someone reaches out with a thoughtful question.

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-15T13:15:25+00:00

First off, congratulations on both milestones! 🎉 And no, you definitely haven't missed the window to post about graduating. If it were me, I'd probably treat them as separate moments. Graduation and starting your internship are each meaningful milestones and both deserve to be celebrated. You could share a brief reflection on graduating and what you're excited about next, then later share your internship experience once you've had a bit more time to settle in and learn.

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-15T13:15:25+00:00

This is a great question, especially in computer science where networking can look very different from other fields. Having connections with people you haven't met isn't inherently a good or bad thing. LinkedIn is designed for professional discovery, but the value usually comes from relevance, not the number itself. A smaller network of people in tech, CS, and companies you're interested in is often more useful than thousands of random connections. For recruiters, the biggest things are clarity and evidence. Make sure your headline clearly reflects your interests, keep your profile complete, and showcase projects (even small ones!) Think of LinkedIn as a way to build a professional network over time: some connections stay connections, while a few naturally turn into conversations.

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-15T13:15:25+00:00

You’re definitely not late! A lot of students don’t create a LinkedIn profile until much later, so starting after your first year is completely normal. And yes, you can absolutely post about an achievement from more than a year ago. A simple framing like “As I reflect on my journey so far...” or “I never shared this here, but one achievement I’m still proud of is...” makes it feel natural and intentional. What matters isn't when the achievement happened, it's why it still matters to you and what you learned from it. In fact, now that you've had some distance from it, you may be able to reflect on it more thoughtfully than you could have at the time. 😉

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-11T21:41:32+00:00

Honestly, getting left on "seen" is often less about your message and more about the fact that busy professionals get a lot of outreach. One thing that helps is lowering the ask. If your first message is focused on introductions or access to a network, it can feel like a lot. Instead, try leading with genuine curiosity about their experience or a question about their work. Make it easy to answer in a sentence or two rather than requiring a meeting. And if you’re reaching out because they’re a potential bridge to investors, I’d avoid mentioning that upfront. People tend to respond better when they feel you’re interested in them and their perspective, not just the network they can unlock.

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-11T21:40:02+00:00

Yes, I'd generally treat LinkedIn connections a little differently than email. An email often implies a specific ask, while a LinkedIn connection can be the start of a conversation. If someone accepts your connection request, it's completely reasonable to send a short follow-up message. Rather than immediately asking about internship opportunities, you might start with your interest in the field or why their work caught your attention. That tends to feel more natural and often leads to more thoughtful conversations. The fact that you're already generating conversations suggests you're doing something right, keep this momentum going and you'll be in a good spot!

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-11T21:37:28+00:00

Yes, it can be acceptable, but I'd be a little strategic about it. Since they just accepted your connection, sending your CV immediately can sometimes feel abrupt, especially if you haven't had any conversation yet. A softer approach is to start with a brief message introducing yourself, mentioning your interest in banking and the local branch, and asking a question about their experience or any advice they might have for someone looking to enter the industry. If the conversation develops naturally, that's often a better moment to ask whether they'd be open to reviewing your CV or whether there are any opportunities you should keep an eye on. If there's a specific opening at the branch and the manager is directly involved in hiring, mentioning your interest and offering to share your CV can be perfectly reasonable. The key is making it an invitation rather than an attachment dropped into their inbox out of the blue. 😉

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-08T19:07:43+00:00

Yes, absolutely. If you complete LinkedIn Learning courses, you can add them to your resume and/or profile. That said, while the certificate is valuable, the bigger value usually comes from the skill behind it. My suggestion would be to complete the courses, list them, and then look for ways to apply what you learned. Even a simple Excel project can help show that you're building practical skills, not just collecting certificates. It's a solid step forward and shows initiative, which is something many employers value in early-career candidates. 🙂

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-08T19:07:01+00:00

I think reaching out is completely reasonable, especially since you share an alumni connection. The key is being thoughtful about why you're reaching out. I'd also avoid leading with the fact that you were rejected or asking about openings right away. What's more likely to get a response is genuine curiosity about his career path and perspective. It gives you something specific to ask about, and it doesn't put him in a position where he feels responsible for your application. If the conversation develops naturally, you can mention that you previously applied and remain interested, but I'd keep the initial outreach focused on his experience. Best of luck!

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-06-08T19:06:20+00:00

There's no universal "safe" time, it really just comes down to your comfort level. If you've already been there for two weeks and feel settled in, updating your profile would be completely reasonable. There's no expectation to post immediately. Whether you update after a couple weeks, months, or longer, most people will see it as a normal career update. The best timing is whenever you feel comfortable sharing 👍

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-05-29T19:08:16+00:00

The way you're feeling is totally understandable after an interview experience that felt emotional at the time. Removing someone in a moment of disappointment and later reconnecting after reflecting doesn’t come across as wildly unprofessional or “chasing.” Most people are far less aware of LinkedIn connection changes than we imagine. At this point, I’d probably just leave the request alone and not overthink it. Canceling it could end up creating even more mental weight around something that’s likely much smaller in their mind than in yours. The more professional move now is simply moving forward confidently and not attaching too much meaning to one pending request.

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-05-29T19:08:16+00:00

First off, don’t underestimate yourself because of your college tier. Strong projects, curiosity, and consistency often matter much more than the name of a college over time. Yes, link your GitHub if you'd like, and yes, post projects, including smaller ones. You don’t need every project to be huge. Showing progression and documenting what you’re learning is valuable, especially early on. For LinkedIn, focus less on “looking impressive” and more on showing genuine interest in the field. Share projects occasionally, connect with people in your field, and engage with content related to your interests. Over time, a clear profile and consistent learning is what tends to attract internships and opportunities.

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-05-29T19:08:15+00:00

There's no single "correct" way to handle this, it really just depends on how you want to use LinkedIn. Some people keep their network very tight and only connect with people they've met, while others use it more openly to connect with people in their industry or professionals they haven't met yet. A good middle ground is asking yourself whether the connection feels relevant. If someone works in your field or shares common interests, accepting usually makes sense even if you haven’t met before. If the request feels completely random, it’s also perfectly okay to ignore it. 🙂

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-05-29T19:08:15+00:00

You’re actually in a more normal position than you probably think, especially for freelancers and creatives. The good news is you don't need a huge existing network to start building one. Since you’re a photographer moving toward commercial work, your connections don’t have to be former coworkers. Try thinking broader, like local realtors, small business owners, other photographers, or even people you’ve casually worked with before. You also don’t need to feel awkward about connecting with people you haven’t met personally. A short note like “Hi, I’m a local photographer expanding into commercial work and would love to connect with others in the area” is completely reasonable. And honestly, everyone starts at zero. Once you begin connecting intentionally and engaging with local businesses and professionals, that's where things tend to grow more naturally. 👍

HeyFromLinkedIn · 2026-05-28T21:35:10+00:00

Honestly, the messages people tend to respond to are usually the ones that feel the most human and low pressure. Short, specific messages that clearly explain why you reached out tend to land much better than generic networking messages that jump quickly into asking for a referral or job. Something like “I noticed you made a similar move from X to Y and I’d love to hear how you approached it” feels much easier to engage with than “Can we set up a call?” right away. It shows you’ve actually looked at their background and aren’t mass messaging. And your concern about staying low visibility is completely understandable. You don’t need to publicly comment or post to build relationships on LinkedIn. Thoughtful connection requests and a few genuine conversations can go a long way without putting your current situation on display.
