Follow Deanna on LinkedInEvery Little Steps Counts!
Little Steps Can Be Big Leaps I have to start with this visual because ever since I chose this month's LinkedIn newsletter topic, I've had the song in my head. Now it can be in yours. You're welcome. Often, when people think of change or improvement, they think BIG. I'm here to say that you don't...
Want to know how to be more visible on LinkedIn without posting content?
You Do NOT Have To Post Content To Get Eyes On You! Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. Nope, not going to sing. Trust me, you don't want to hear that. In fact, my family often requests that I not sing. The only place I can sing is in my car by myself. OK, enough about...
Ask a Question To Create Conversations!
Give Us a Reason To Comment "I'm not getting comments. I feel like I'm posting in a silo. Is anyone out there?" If you have had any of these thoughts about your content, you are not alone. If you feel like you're on an island, you aren't alone. In fact, I hear it often. With 10 million content...
Metaphorically Speaking
Relating Works If We Get You "Deanna, you've been creating content on LinkedIn for seven years! That's insane! What's your secret sauce? How has your strategy evolved? How do you continue to grab attention after all this time?" Did you hear that? It's me impersonating Butthead. Oh, you don't hear...
The Power of Word of Mouth
Word of mouth - three small words, but those three words carry so much weight. These days, the number of business owners who say their clients/customers come from word of mouth...well, let's just say it's a lot. They don’t spend any money on advertising. People refer them when they know they do...
Apply, Apply, Apply…It Does Not Work!
Teaching with my content - it's something I've done for years, and now that I'm in the midst of my job search, it's no different. When I started my job search two months ago and for the weeks following, I revised my resume and LinkedIn profile, and then my routine began: apply, apply, apply. I...
They Are Watching, Are You Visible?
There was a time when I could listen to Rockwell's song (from the 80s) and just enjoy it. Now every time I hear that song, I think of LinkedIn. When you are active here, people are watching you. When you are inactive here, well, what's the point??? Comment...people see that comment. A comment of...
Would You Rather Be a Camo or Unicorn?
Inspiration for content on LinkedIn can be all around you, as long as you are open to seeing it. I got inspired to post this one while walking this morning at a local park. I came across a pond with dozens of turtles swimming in it. I snapped this picture of one of them, it was hiding in the grass...
Don’t Invite!
Whenever I think keyboard or typing fast....yep! I think of this scene. For many people it's a batch thing, or it becomes a subconscious habit. Perhaps it's 10 a day, 20 a day, or even as much as 50 a day. I'm talking about moving the mouse over to the search box and typing in the keywords and...
Mix It Up! Variety is the Spice of Life
Even though I’m not what you call a “savant” in the kitchen, I happen to know that adding spices - oregano, cumin, basil, etc. will take any dish from bland to tasty. Another step in the kitchen is taking all your ingredients and mixing them all up. I actually make a mean meatloaf (it’s one of...
