Here are the LinkedIn truths no one wants to admit. (Spoiler: You’re probably guilty of at least 3 "don’ts.") Ready to fix that? Most LinkedIn advice is sugar coated. Here’s the controversial truth. ✓ DO: Focus on audience needs, not self-promotion. ❌ DON’T: Post sales pitches without actionable value. → Hot take: Your audience cares about solving THEIR problems. ✓ DO: If Needed Use 3–5 industry-specific hashtags. ❌ DON’T: Spam #like #this #for #algorithm #clout. → Fact: LinkedIn flags posts with >5 hashtags as spam. ✓ DO: Share insights with original analysis. ❌ DON’T: Repost content without added context. → Controversy alert: Reposting without commentary is lazy. ✓ DO: Craft hooks with data/statistics. ❌ DON’T: Use clickbait like “Tag someone who needs this!” → Data wins: Posts with stats get 3x more shares. ✓ DO: Post 3–5x weekly consistently. ❌ DON’T: Flood feeds with low-quality posts. → Algorithm hack: Consistency > Frequency. ✓ DO: Use visuals to reinforce messages. ❌ DON’T: Share blurry or unprofessional images. → Visuals matter: Posts with images get 98% more comments. ✓ DO: Engage with meaningful comments. ❌ DON’T: Ignore replies or delete criticism. → Hard truth: Deleting criticism makes you look guilty. ✓ DO: Proofread for typos/formatting. ❌ DON’T: Publish walls of unbroken text. → Formatting 101: Walls of text = 80% drop in engagement. ✓ DO: Frame critiques constructively. ❌ DON’T: Attack competitors or trends. → Pro tip: Trash-talking rivals makes YOU look insecure. ✓ DO: Humanize stories with personal lessons. ❌ DON’T: Overshare unrelated personal drama. → Boundaries matter: “Failed a pitch” = relatable.

Most people don’t realize how small shifts (like thoughtful hooks or fewer hashtags) can change everything. 🔥

Guilty of the walls of text early on, Yaser. Breaking it up changed everything—readability wins.
Stop writing boring hooks. Do this instead. (5 formulas to make your hooks irresistible) 90% of your post’s success is decided here. Hooks aren’t luck; they’re science. What if your hooks could stop the scroll every time? After studying top viral posts, Here’s the truth. I’ve tested every hook style: → Long hooks. → Short hooks. → Stats, stories, quotes. These 5 formulas always win: → How I… (“How I 10X’d my salary in 6 months.”) → How To… (“How to fix boring hooks in 30 seconds.”) → Start a Story (“I almost quit LinkedIn. Then THIS happened…”) → Quote (“Gary Vee said . Here’s why he’s right.”) → Statistic (“92% of posts fail here. Don’t be them.”) 20 Power Words to Borrow: → Fear/Urgency: “Warning,” “Do Not,” “Last Chance.” → Authority: “Proven,” “10X,” “Secrets.” → Curiosity: “Rare,” “Nobody Tells You,” “Behind the Scenes.” Formatting Hacks to Avoid the “See More” Cutoff: → Spacing: [Line-Gap-Line] > [Line-Line-Line]. → Length: Line 1 & 2: ≤62 characters (fits mobile!) → Line 3: ≤50 characters (no spillover!) → Keep It Simple: No emojis. No bold. Just curiosity. BONUS: → 10 Done-For-You Templates (e.g., “The #1 mistake [your industry] makes…”) → 7 Creators Who Nail Hooks (steal from Justin Welsh, Lara Acosta, etc.) 🚨 PS: Organic growth is still possible, but only if you stand out. Use these hooks now or get buried later. 👇 Comment “HOOKS” and I’ll send you the PDF version! (Or follow Yaser for more cheat sheets.) PPS: Hate writing hooks? I use Depost AI to generate 5 viral hooks in 1 click (link in comments). I use it daily to crush writer’s block. 👇 “HOOK ME” for the free cheat sheet.

Want more engagement on LinkedIn? (Most people overcomplicate LinkedIn.) After analyzing 400+ viral posts, I found the winning formulas. Here they are - with examples: 1. The Awareness Post Goal: Stop scrollers with a thought-provoking hook ↳ Formula: "If you can work 8 hours for someone else's dream... you can spend 60 minutes on yours." ↳ Uses contrast + calls out a universal truth 2. The Personal Story Post Goal: Build connection through vulnerability My exact structure: ↳ Hook: "I almost quit my business last year..." ↳ Struggle: "80-hour weeks, zero freedom" ↳ Turning Point: "Then I tried..." ↳ Results: "Doubled revenue in 3 months" ↳ Lesson: "Burnout isn't required for success" 3. The Education Post ↳ Goal: Position yourself as an expert ↳ Pro Tip: Teach ONE actionable concept per post ↳ Example: "3 Hiring Mistakes That Cost Me $50K" 4. The Conversion Post ↳ Goal: Turn followers into clients ↳ Magic Ingredients: ↳ Customer success story ↳ Specific results ("Increased conversions by 200%") "This could be you" implication 5. The "How We Do It" Post ↳ Goal: Showcase your unique methodology ↳ Example Framework: ↳ Problem most miss ↳ Our unusual approach ↳ Why it works (data/story) Want the full breakdown? 🔗Swipe the carousel for templates, visuals, and my free Business Strategy Checklist 💬 Which format will you try first?
