I have 733,914 followers on LinkedIn.

I spend less time here than most people with 500:

☑ 20 min: Prepare your daily post.

☑ 30 min: Comment on your post and others'.

☑ 10 min: Answer DMs and send new connections.

☑ I wrote an entire guide to get 10,000 followers.

Here's the full breakdown:

☑ 20 min: prepare your daily post.

↳ Topic: Grok to find Reddit struggles.

↳ Design: Canva to design, Nano Banana to edit.

↳ Text: Claude to write.

Copy this Grok prompt to find reddit struggles:

PROMPT:

Find active subreddits where [target audience] discusses real problems with [topic]. For each subreddit, provide: Name, Member count, Activity level (posts per day, comment quality), 3-5 specific problems people discuss, Related subreddits worth checking. Rules: Focus on real conversations, not memes. Prefer engaged communities over large low-signal ones.

Once you have the topic:

→ find a design (Pinterest)

→ edit it (Nano Banana) or make one (Canva)

→ write the caption (Claude).

Copy this Claude prompt to make viral hooks:

PROMPT:

These are my most viral hooks (2 lines in one hook) on Linkedin, ever. Let's try to recreate it but differently in the new topic (new topic: [your caption draft]): 
///Hook 1 [VIRAL HOOK] 
///Hook 2 [VIRAL HOOK] 
///Hook 3 [VIRAL HOOK] 
///Hook 4 [VIRAL HOOK]

____________

☑ 30 min: comment on your post & others'.

↳ Right before & after posting.

↳ Comment more than you post.

↳ Engage with your favorite creators & your feed.

Warming up your account before and after posting is the single best growth indicator on LinkedIn.

If you can't be social on social media, don't try to grow on social media.

____________

☑ 10 min: answer DMs & send connection requests.

↳ Find 5 key connections per day using filters.

↳ Always answer all DMs on time.

↳ Never let this take longer than 10 minutes.

How I find key players:

Click search bar → Enter → People → Filter by:

2nd connections + Location + Following + Job title.

____________

1 hour a day is enough.

Just like exercising 2 days a week is usually enough.

Sure, some post 5x a day and live in the comments.

But pick your fight. Be consistent, not delusional.

I grew my employee to 10,000 followers in 17 days and I recorded the entire process.
