Here’s The “Secret” to Growing Your LinkedIn Audience (Everyone Knows, but Most Don’t Use)

Thousands of people have used this strategy to build a loyal community on social media. After all, that’s what we REALLY want right?

Not just followers, but a LOYAL following. 👀

It’s mentioned all the time here at Furlough—quality over quantity. You can have a million followers, but unless they’re loyal to you… do you REALLY have an audience?🤨

And when it comes time to sell your idea, product, or service… how many of them will ACTUALLY convert?

When you use this not-so-secret strategy—you’ve likely heard of but never implemented… you won’t have to worry about that!

It’s called the $1.80 Instagram Strategy—but guess what? It works for ANY social media platform, including LinkedIn.😍

Gary V started using this strategy first on Twitter, then Facebook, and Instagram.

“No matter which platform comes next, this will be the behavior I deploy to build awareness, and more importantly, community online.”

There aren’t any shortcuts when it comes to building a loyal following online. This is the ONLY strategy you need to make it happen—LinkedIn included!
