How to grow your LinkedIn account and maintain your presence there?
We're not going to lie. One of the key places people ask you for help with a PH launch is in LinkedIn DMs (followed by X and email).
Most connections I got were people from Product Hunt, so it is a pity not to use that platform.
I am trying to grow LinkedIn and play with many strategies, among:
posting several pieces of content per day
actively comment on other people's posts
send a certain number of connection requests per day
do collaborative posts with other creators
writing LinkedIn articles/newsletters (native feature)
Do you have a specific approach that has proven effective when you've wanted to grow on the LinkedIn platform?
I would also like to hear your LinkedIn journey. Feel free to share.
I posted several approaches in my original LI post if you are curious.
And if we are not connected yet, feel free to send a request.

@busmark_w_nika I used to just scroll and comment randomly, but things changed once I started keeping track of posts from people I actually want to connect with - founders, clients, and peers.
Commenting on their posts every day helped me grow way faster.
It’s all about showing up in the right places, not everywhere.

@nikhil_thale It is always about the circles you aspire to ;)
Love this topic — LinkedIn has quietly become one of the best platforms for authentic professional growth.
What’s worked best for me:
Consistency over volume — 3–4 good posts a week beat posting multiple times a day.
Story-first content — sharing lessons or real moments from your work always outperforms pure “advice” posts.
Engaging early — commenting in the first hour after you post really boosts reach.
Collaborations — co-posts and tag-based shoutouts help you cross audiences fast.
Also, posting on weekends (especially Sundays) surprisingly performs better than weekdays sometimes.
Curious what you’ve found works better lately — are short text posts still outperforming carousels and videos for you?
