@jenny I picked up what I thought was a great tip from one of Jays FaceBook tutorials in WA and I think it might work on LinkedIn if you haven't been very social.
On your LinkedIn try and follow / connect with other people / business pages in your niche, then you can comment and like content in your niche which will be seen by all of the other followers of that person or business and you can connect with them too and get your content in front of a lot more people that are interested in your niche.
Not sure if it works but it sounds like a good idea to me and yesterday when I created my "New" LinkedIn profile 😀 I found it pretty easy to find several people and businesses in similar areas to follow.
Maybe worth a go to increase your interaction on the platform

Yes, but that takes A LOT of time and doesn't garantie anything. Jay in that class gave us an example where he wrote a message with a question and then he got lots of reactions to that, I don't know if you remember that? It was for his website Ifilmthings.
I have been following him since I saw that class, and his page is basicly dead. Never ANYONE likes on his other messages,interactions , etc. I even suspect that he payed an ad to 'proove' to us that it works. It took me a few years already to get my FB page and groups growing nicely. You would have to be very active to get that much respons and so many likes that he got for that one message.
Also, Kyle with his wealthyaffiliate page on Facebook, thats because obviously people know him from WA and he has also had an Add (or two). If nobody knows you or your brand on Facebook, it is hard to grow it without a social media manager or payed ads, that's just my opinion.
Besides Pinterest indeed, that has been growing organicly for me as well! But it depends on your niche.
@petedr93 Thanks, Pete. I have started to do this, but not as often as I should. Have you started a business page on LinkedIn or a new personal profile?
@jenny - I was planning to start a business page but everything I looked at said that you need to log into your personal profile first to be able to create a business page so I created a new personal profile called Pete Fifty 😆. It says on LinkedIn's rules that it is prohibited but everyone else seems to do it so i have given it a try.
Based on one of Partha's replies i am toying with just "posting" some stuff on my personal page first to see if i get any traction that way, but I am not in a big rush as I am limited on the time i commit to this and there is so much to do 😀
@ohnoo_not_her - Haha, they tricked us I actually think it might work better on LinkedIn than Facebook as people are usually really keen to expand their connections on there so I think you are more likely to get follows back and hopefully this will at least build my online presence for my website too

Yeah, I sometimes shout at my screen when I'm on WA lol! (even yesterday with that Youtube shorts class I was watching while I was crafting hahaha). My man downstairs: what's happening? looool
But then I hold back and don't answer (well, mostly lol) , because what's the use hehehe.
I'm not very aware about Linkedin, so yes who knows it works better than FB! good luck!

@Partha The way that Google has been behaving recently, I think the writing has been on the wall for a while. I haven't done much on my MMO site this past month, partly because I'm not sure of the best course of action. I am leaning heavily toward keeping the site going but ignoring Google.
This is what I do with Bing and Yahoo. However, after further consideration, I feel a sense of freedom in not writing for SERP keywords and starting to write what I want! My gut tells me that if I build a following in this manner, my followers are more likely to buy from me.
Writing this feels quite liberating, as I have always wanted to write freely on my non-MMO site.
As always, Partha, your posts are on point! To think about, much there is!

100% with you on that one Paul. It really is liberating not worrying about SEO and just writing :-) My blog titles are always way over the 160 characters now.
I know Partha has always said don't worry about what AIOSEO and the other SEO plugins tell you but it was always there in the back of my mind ... after HCU I really don't care about traditional SEO now, with a big fat ZERO clicks from Google in 5 days straight 🤣
@ohnoo_not_her In my opinion it, like in all social media, depends on niche. I just do not agree with people who say that you can use all niches on all social media; just not right! But all are useful for link addition.
@noteboom I’m sorry but to which part are you reacting here? Could you quote that part please? I don’t remember that I said that every social media channel is suited for every niche? Quite on the contrary, Twitter, for example, is not suitable at all for my niche and Instagram either. Lizzy
@ohnoo_not_her I´m sorry! It is start being a little bit completed to have an overview.
You didn´t say it, sorry. I was trying to come up with a general statement about social media after you were talking about testing LinkedIn but not Facebook. If I was wrong, so sorry! I should not write in a hurry, working close to it in other things, I know.
Lizzy and I were reading an interesting post from one of my favorite authors on WA. He was testing everything and focused especially on one website that Google crushed. As is clear, thanks to Partha, we try to add traffic from social media and other places like Bing.
But what made interest for me, and that was well known from Lizz, was that he had success with 2 new sites after the crush. I was reading that this was not the time for new sites so...
And then I started to think because I was not sure I understood him correctly. Let's say you have had a website about Austin Mini (bad idea, by the way :) ), and it was crushed. Can you add 1-2 new websites with very similar/same articles and you used on the first website that was crushed?

Hey Jóhann, as I understand it new websites will rank initially but then as soon as Google applies the HCU sitewide classifier, you're back to square one.
I had not pivoted to Social, and now I am paying the penalty for that. Somehow I thought I could get away without social. I am a sociable person, but I do not like social media - does that make sense?
Thanks for the article. Hard truths are the ones we need to hear.
