LinkedIn Engagement Pods... or are they 'communities'?
Hey listeners, Neal here from The Asylum.
Let me ask you this—have you ever been drawn into a seemingly prestigious LinkedIn community, only to find it's nothing more than a smoke-and-mirrors show?
On this episode, we pull back the curtain on LinkedIn engagement pods.
These elusive, often misunderstood groups promise skyrocketing engagement rates and viral success, but is it all just a facade?
By the end of this episode, you'll know what these pods are, how they operate, and why joining one might be the worst decision for your LinkedIn strategy.
We’re diving deep with Katie McManus, a business strategist, LinkedIn Company Pages expert Michelle J Raymond, Espresso founder John Espirian, Fred Copestake, Tracy Bedwell, Philip Charter, and Paul Smart joining us too.
We'll discuss why engagement pods give off an illusion of success and what they'll actually do for your engagement.
More importantly, you'll gain invaluable insights into recognising these pods and understanding why they're tolerated on LinkedIn.
If you're serious about building genuine relationships and authentic engagement on LinkedIn, this episode is a must listen.
You'll gain the knowledge to spot fake engagement tactics, understand the reasoning behind LinkedIn's tolerance for these pods, and learn simple yet effective ways to foster real, meaningful interactions.
By integrating these insights into your LinkedIn strategy, you'll not only dodge the pitfalls of artificial engagement but also stand out with authenticity and integrity in a world of shortcuts and quick fixes.
