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.

Great post! Totally agree - consistency and genuine engagement are key. At ActlysAI, we’re building AI assistants that help automate tasks like scheduling, replying, or managing content through Google services. Curious if anyone here has tried using AI to optimize their LinkedIn presence?

@mreksar Isn't it a bit synthetic when AI replies? I want to be present with people :)
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?
