So I actually went to the LinkedIn office and I asked them, how can I put links in my content such that I can get people to click things? Because what is the point of creating content if you're not going to be able to get people to sign up to the things that you want them to sign up to? And by the way, side note, Twitter sucks right now.

Like, yes, you can get a lot of impressions, but once you put that link in there, your post is going nowhere. So what the LinkedIn team told me is that if you post something that gets more than 150 likes, 200 likes, after four hours, if you put the link at the bottom of the post, you will not be suppressed by the LinkedIn algorithm. So you edit the post? You edit the post.

And by the way, this is all going back to what we just learned about delegation. This is all things that you can delegate, just create SOPs around, which I do. I barely log into LinkedIn like you. So to answer your question, I'm obsessed with lead magnets. And we talked a little bit about lead magnets in my workshop for those of you there.

So the example I used yesterday was, if you're going to Ford.com, you might not want to buy a Ford Expedition, but you might be there to learn about EVs. You might be there to just see pretty pictures of a red Mustang. So you make the link magnet. So what I do is I try to figure out what are the things that I want people to do. And I create multiple lead magnets every single month.

For example, I have a lead magnet around a database of startup ideas. 5,000 people have downloaded that in the last 30 days from LinkedIn. Now I have those 5,000 people interested in startup ideas. I don't know what I'm going to sell them. But at some point, I could sell them something.
