5 Linkedin Marketing Techniques You Were Too Ashamed To Apply

Shameless self-promotion 101: Everything you never wanted to know about being cringeworthy through LinkedIn marketing.

When I was a kid back in the 90’s, it was normal for me to pretend to be someone else (like say, a Prince.) My bff at the time had a tent in her room, which we would play in. We could be so many different people and mystical creatures in a single afternoon (they always started at 3 pm exactly, and my mom always reminded me to bring a gift.

In the early 2000s, I became a teenager, and the pissing contests began. Role-playing was no longer about fun, it was a serious matter of hormones and ego. Fast forward to 2019, and the vast majority of LinkedIn appears to have combined these two early and late childhood interaction dynamics into a single powerful discipline: LinkedIn Marketing. Heres’s how it works: First, you pretend to be someone you aren’t – and then the pissing contests can begin. Here are the following ways you can do this.

  1. Add every company you have EVER interacted with, or bought a product, service or coupon from, in your jobs section. That way, people just HAVE to find you. It’s the pop-up banner equivalent (you know, the ones that are impossible to click away) of professional social networking.
  2. Shamelessly share post and seek out every clickbait-y content you find on the web. Your existing LinkedIn network will have a huge inventory to pick your favourites from. Remember: Mass over class. Curation is a waste of time, and time is money.
  3. Massively exaggerate your virtues, so that even the highly sceptical and indifferent folks in your network get that you’re amazing. Pro tip: Be sure to mention that you are a thought leader. It basically means that in your thoughts, you think that you are a leader. And we all know perception is a reality.
  4. Send EVERYONE a LinkedIn invite and accept every invite you receive. Also the ones with a special business proposal for you. Definitely the ones asking for 10-15 minutes of your time to show you their enterprise software. Meet new people, learn new things. Accumulate a massive audience for your posts about 10 unbelievable tricks for using LinkedIn to live to 100. Use link bait for maximum effect.

  5. Endorse people you don’t know for skills you wouldn’t know they possess. You can practice on my profile. Affirm my proficiency in #photoshop, #wisdom and #world #peace (or #worldpeace). Also, repeat 1 to 4 indefinitely, preferably with an hourly update frequency. Engagement never sleeps.
