LinkedIn Comments: Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts<\/h2>\n
Why LinkedIn comments are important and how you can integrate them into your LinkedIn strategy in the right way <\/span><\/p>\n65% of LinkedIn members are<\/b> lurkers<\/i><\/b>.. This means that they regularly consume content, but rarely or never share content or interact with other users themselves. Professionals who don\u2019t actively leave comments on LinkedIn posts of other members miss out on a lot of opportunities. In this blogpost, we\u2019ll talk about the benefits of leaving comments and we\u2019ll explain some do\u2019s and don\u2019ts about how to integrate these comments into your LinkedIn strategy in the right way. <\/b><\/p>\n
Why comments are an important part of an effective LinkedIn strategy <\/b><\/p>\n\n- Increased visibility <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
When you leave a valuable comment on a LinkedIn post, you will first reach the author. He or she receives a notification about your comment. Since a large part of the author\u2019s network will see the post in their newsfeed, you\u2019ll also reach these people. <\/span><\/p>\nBesides extending your reach beyond your network, you\u2019ll also reach your own LinkedIn connections. Even if people from your network aren\u2019t connected to the author of the post, they can still see you left a comment on this post in their newsfeed. So a comment can definitely give your visibility a huge boost! <\/span><\/p>\n<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n- New connections <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
People from outside your network may find your comment so interesting they\u2019d like to connect with you. Responding to other comments is also a great way to expand your network, since a conversation often leads to a connection request. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n- Positioning yourself as an expert <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
By leaving qualitative and valuable comments, other LinkedIn members will perceive you as an expert within your field. When these people need advice or help from someone in your area of expertise, you\u2019ll already be in the back of their minds thanks to your comment. <\/span><\/p>\n\n- Professional opportunities <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Interacting with like-minded people or fellow experts and professionals can result in amazing collaborations or an extension of your customer list. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n

The do\u2019s (and don\u2019ts) when writing a comment <\/b><\/p>\n\n- Read the post <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This tip may seem very logical, but unfortunately isn\u2019t always applied in reality. When you want to leave a comment, it\u2019s important to always read the post completely and thoroughly. Only this way you\u2019ll be able to write a valuable comment that\u2019s connected to the content of the post. You can also take a look at the LinkedIn profile of the author of the post to gather some extra background information. <\/span><\/p>\n\n- Make sure your comment is on-topic <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Comments should always be an addition of or complementary to the topic of the post. You can, for example, add some extra relevant information or refer to another source that provides additional data. You can also tag other experts who have a lot of knowledge on the topic to ask their opinion and stimulate a little interaction. <\/span><\/p>\nDon\u2019t<\/i><\/b>: Try to add valuable information, but avoid writing too much text. Keep your comments short and to the point. You can also add structure to your comments by using short paragraphs or bullet points. <\/span><\/p>\n\n- Focus on adding value <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Comments like<\/span> \u201cInspiring post\u201d<\/span><\/i> or<\/span> \u201cInteresting insights\u201d<\/span><\/i> may be nice to receive, but won\u2019t make your comment stand out and therefore won\u2019t get you many results. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to always add value to your comments. You can do this by sharing knowledge, giving your opinion on the subject or asking questions to the author to gain some more insights. <\/span><\/p>\nDon\u2019t<\/i><\/b>Position yourself as an expert by sharing valuable information, but avoid promoting or advertising for your own products or services by doing this. If your comment sounds like a sales pitch, it won\u2019t come across as genuine. <\/span><\/p>\n\n- Interact with others by responding to their comments <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\nIf you have no inspiration to write a comment yourself, you can scan the other comments and respond to them. Maybe someone in the comments has the same opinion as you have or maybe someone asked a question that you know the answer to. <\/span><\/p>\nDon\u2019t<\/i><\/b>: Make sure that you don\u2019t take over the author\u2019s role when answering other people\u2019s questions. The author also wants to have the chance to react to his own comments and won\u2019t like it when a competitor steals this task from him. When answering a question, it is therefore best to tag the author of the post to ask for his opinion as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n- Always pay attention to your spelling and grammar <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\nYou won\u2019t achieve expert status with comments that are filled with spelling mistakes and typos. Always read your comments carefully to guarantee your professionalism. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
