How to Format LinkedIn Posts: 8 Tips to Help Promote your Personal Brand

Get Better Results. Learn how to format LinkedIn posts.

LinkedIn posts can feel like talking to an empty room. You write something meaningful, hit publish, and… silence. Not even a single like. Your well-crafted message sits there, lost in the endless feed of content.

But what if small changes in how you format your posts could transform your results?

A study by Linkedin creator Richard van der Blom shows that posts with proper formatting can get up to 600% more views and engagement than plain text updates. Now keep in mind these are claims without substantial proof, so before you get too excited, let me dive into some of my own experience with formatting on LinkedIn, its origins, and whether it’s worth investing in learning the art of “Broetry” aka formatting your content so it’s easy to read..

The truth is, most LinkedIn users make basic formatting mistakes that limit their reach:

• Writing long chunky blocks of text that no one wants to read
• Missing key visual elements that catch attention
• Using too many hashtags that look spammy
• Forgetting to structure their message for mobile users

I’ve written thousands of LinkedIn posts and many different formats over the past 5 years. Through trial and error, I’ve found what actually works to get more views, comments, and meaningful connections.

This guide will show you the exact formatting techniques that help you get more people reading your posts… Which is the point of social media isn’t it?

You’ll learn why certain formats perform better and get step-by-step instructions to improve your own posts.

Note: The best part? These techniques work whether you have 100 followers or 179,491. The key is in how you present your message. Here’s my LinkedIn profile where I practice what I preach. I’ve been writing on LinkedIn since late 2019 and have ghostwritten for hundreds of clients.

Structuring LinkedIn Posts for Maximum Impact

• Start with a question or strong statement to catch attention.
• Use lists to make your points clear.
• Include a call to action to boost interaction.

1. Crafting a Strong Opening aka a “hook”

A strong hook sets the stage. Most people won’t read past the first couple of lines of your content. So you need to start with sharing very clearly what your post is about and make a clear statement. A statement tells them what to expect, and the bolder the better. Ensure the first few words are crisp and to the point, and not too wordy in order to capture attention. Avoid long, winding sentences. LinkedIn users skim, so keep it direct.

Testing different openings can reveal what works best. Some audiences respond better to positive sentiments. Others might like statements of fact. You could try opening with a surprising statistic.

2. Main Content Body

The main section of your post is where you deliver your key points. Be clear. Be direct. Use bullet points or numbered lists. Lists help present information in a digestible manner. This format caters to busy professionals who might be scanning for main ideas.

Your main content needs structure and a variety of formatting. Start with your main point. Follow this with detailed, yet concise, insights. For example, if discussing LinkedIn strategies, list steps like creating a strong personal brand. Each bullet point should cover one idea or tip. This approach enhances readability.

Another effective technique is to include subheadings to further break down content in longer posts. Each subheading can introduce a new idea or step, guiding the reader through your post coherently. This is particularly useful for dense topics. Consider the audience’s time, using concise language to effectively communicate your message without overwhelming them.

3. Finish with a power statement and a strong Call to Action

The final piece of your posts is using a power statement to summarize your key messaging and then flipping it back on your audience with a call to action (CTA).

A power statement is typically the last couple lines before the end of the post.

You want to use your strongest one or two-liner here and make it so that you cause your reader to think, reflect and consider what your post has been saying to them. A good power statement sets up the reader to be converted into a follower, fan or client thanks to the call to action. For good examples of these well just follow me on LinkedIn or reply to this post if you’d like me to make a video about power statements.

Now as for the CTA, it should invite interaction. Encourage readers to comment or share. You could also direct them to external articles or websites. For instance, if discussing strategies, link to a guide about building a LinkedIn bio.

Your CTA must be simple. Instead of vague prompts, be specific. Say things like, “Share your favorite strategy below,” or “Read our in-depth LinkedIn bio guide for more.” The idea is to engage the audience in a way that feels natural and not forced.

Sometimes, including a question as part of your CTA can encourage responses. For example, “What has been your most effective LinkedIn post?” This promotes discussion and can lead to increased engagement within your network. The key is making it easy for them to respond and worthwhile to engage with your content.

Scroll up and review the image I shared before this section to see a good example on the graphic of a CTA.

The structure of a LinkedIn post determines its effectiveness. Opening strong, delivering clear content, and concluding with an interactive element form a complete strategy.

Before we dive deeper into how to format LinkedIn posts, it’s worth noting that this builds on some key principles of LinkedIn Personal Branding. If you’re just getting started with LinkedIn Personal Branding or want to refresh your understanding, our comprehensive guide on Understanding LinkedIn Personal Branding will give you the groundwork you need. For those already familiar, let’s continue exploring how to format LinkedIn posts…

Best Formats for LinkedIn Posts

• Text posts grab quick attention. Keep them under 150 words.
• Use images and videos to stand out. Give them a caption.

1. Using Text Posts

Text posts are direct and effective. Perfect for short thoughts or insights. LinkedIn limits posts to 3000 characters, but posts with 50–150 words get more engagement. Shorter keeps it focused and digestible. People scroll fast, so nail your message quickly.

Benefits: Text posts are flexible and easy to create. They can be edited after posting. Use this to your advantage when sharing quick industry updates or tips.

A case example is about one of my clients, a tech consultant, who shared weekly insights on new software trends. His text posts, usually 100 words, got significant interaction. Why? Conciseness and relevance. Readers prefer well-focused content that gets to the point.

Action Items

1. Draft your post. Aim for 100 words.
2. Use clear language and short sentences.
3. Experiment to find out what resonates with your audience.

Common Myth: Some think longer posts give more value. In reality, readers avoid lengthy texts that seem daunting. Short is sweet.

“1 in 4 people leave long posts unread. Keep it tight for attention.”

• Listen to my LinkedIn Lives focusing on copywriting for social media platforms.

2. Using Images and Videos

Incorporating images and videos can enhance your posts’ visibility. A LinkedIn study showed that posts with visuals receive three times more engagement. Since LinkedIn users enjoy interactive content, visuals grab them effectively.

Types of Visual Content

• Images: PNG and JPEG are the common formats. PNG is often best for LinkedIn due to its high quality.
• Videos: Keep them short, ideally under three minutes. Insert captions for context, as many users watch without sound.

To illustrate, a marketing agency shared a quick success story video. With captions explaining the key points, the video got high views. Captions made it accessible and informative, holding viewers’ attention.

Action Items

1. Choose PNG for better quality and speed.
2. Add captions to highlight your key messages.
3. Keep videos concise to retain viewer interest.

Common Myth: Many believe all visuals need advanced design. Simplicity is effective. Even a basic, well-crafted image can drive engagement.

“Simplicity in visuals often outshines complex designs for engagement.”

If readers want to enhance their approach further, exploring personal branding strategies on LinkedIn through tailored content formats can be transformative. Traffic and engagement potential boosts significantly with strategic visual content.

LinkedIn Content Strategy

• Direct content towards specific goals. Know your purpose.
• Use content again in different ways. Keep it fresh and engaging.
• Know the balance between content types for interaction. Maximize reach.

Aligning Content with Goals

Define Clear Objectives

Content intent shapes success on LinkedIn. You should define goals for each post, like boosting brand awareness or enhancing engagement. Before hitting “publish,” ensure your post aligns with your broader objectives. For instance, use direct language to increase click-through rates if conversions are your goal.

Goals should guide content type. For engagement, using advanced post types, like multi-image posts, may be beneficial. They generate the highest likes and comments. Socialinsider says multi-image posts and under-19-word captions are optimal for engagement. This data helps refine strategies, ensuring each post type matches its intended effect.

Tailor Content Style

Once you know your content goals, make sure your style aligns. Professional, approachable, or thought-provoking? Each style demands different language and formats on LinkedIn. For instance, formal tone for reports or case studies boosts authority in a B2B setting. For informal posts, like polls asking workplace questions, inject lightheartedness. Polls on LinkedIn gain the highest impression rates, so maintaining a conversational tone in them can maximize this audience interaction.

Content style should cater to audience preferences. Consider reading the book “Everybody Writes” by Ann Handley. This reference dives into tailoring your communication style to specific audiences. This book provides more techniques for aligning goals with style, helping you express intent clearly.

Repurposing Content

Variety in Formats

Repurposing helps leverage successful content. A popular LinkedIn article can become a webinar, a podcast, or even visual infographics. The same content in varied formats touches different audiences across digital spaces. Posts have low interaction sometimes due to format fatigue. Switching formats ensures fresh engagement.

Increased engagement through content repurposing aligns with maintaining brand presence without exhausting new content creation. Being strategic about content types also involves abiding by trends. Short videos and multiple images are gaining traction, according to Socialinsider, pushing the boundaries of traditional text-based posts.

If you’re into repurposing, try “Content Inc.” by Joe Pulizzi. This book is a deeper dive into using content in different contexts. It’s filled with strategies that detail making a single piece have multiple lives across platforms.

Evergreen Content

Evergreen content remains relevant long after its publication. Continuous value ensures these posts get revisits, likes, and shares over time. To harness evergreen content’s power, refresh it with new insights or examples. Think of evergreen content like a favorite book that gets re-read and adds value on each pass.

Going through engagement analytics informs which evergreen content resonates most with audiences. Updates should be strategic rather than sporadic. According to Hootsuite, setting clear goals and adapting content style are crucial steps in maintaining content relevance.

Capture Engagement Dynamics

Engagement dynamics revolve around timing, content type, and user behavior. Engagement algorithms prioritize interaction patterns over sheer content volume. More isn’t always better—quality tops quantity.

Monitor engagement rates continually. Studying post insights and user behavior can hint at optimal posting times and formats. User-generated content has a spirit of authenticity that drives engagement. Employees are strong advocates, as photos with real people outperform abstract corporate visuals.

Content strategy isn’t about finding a single best method. It is about understanding the data and audience and then iterating. “The Content Strategy Toolkit” by Meghan Casey can be a further resource. The book provides in-depth techniques for effective content strategies and audience interaction.

As Lee Odden says, “Content isn’t King, it’s the Kingdom.” This means having sound promotion strategies and SEO is critical to a holistic content strategy.

5 Quick Formatting Tips to Edit Your Posts

• Use lots of lists.
• Use short sentences and clear words.
• Mix up your posting styles.

1. Use a descending/ascending list.

These are easy on the eyes and are a good way to present information in a digestible manner.

Numbered lists are even better as they simplify the result or topic you are trying to communicate with your audience.

2. Lots of spacing.

You want spacing in your posts so that your sentences are easier to read. Most people on social media don’t know you and aren’t invested in what you are saying. So they are skimming your posts, and by adding space it makes certain sentences stand out more. See how you’ve stopped reading this paragraph because I didn’t break up the copy?

Divide your ideas into short sentences. People find it hard to read long chunks of text, especially online.

Remember, online reading is generally 25% slower than in print, so break up your ideas into digestible parts to make the experience smoother for your readers.

3. Change up the Formatting

You want to practice changing up your formatting style every 8 lines or so.

The reason?

Once again, we just need to understand how the human brain works and use it to our advantage. Humans naturally skim when they read and get bored easily.

To capture someone’s attention you want to do everything you can. Yes, that means interesting posts, but it also means using tricks and industry secrets as well.

Changing up the formatting makes the brain stop and disrupts the skimming. Use lists, spaces, chunks of text, arrows, bold text, and staggered sentence length to mix up your post flow.

This one is pretty straightforward. You want to use a tool like Supergrow or AuthoredUp to make sure your content is written and optimized for mobile. -Don’t let your sentences spill over -Understand the flow of formatting -Optimize hooks for mobile

That’s right at the end of the day, sometimes you gotta break all the best practices and test some things yourself.

I use chunks of italicized text for my prompt posts, and those did very well… But was terrible formatting typically…

Good AI content gets you really close to the finish line. But great editing takes you into the endzone.

You can only get great at editing with time, practice, and time spent on LinkedIn studying the best content.

Bonus Tip: Mix up your styles and use lots of text, Image and video.

A powerful LinkedIn post finds harmony between text and images. Text should not overshadow your visuals. Each component has a role to play.

Enhance with Relevant Images

Choose images that support your text. Visuals enhance your narrative, providing depth and context to your words. Consider adding visuals like infographics or photos that speak to your content’s core message. This is vital because images can lead to a 98% higher comment rate on LinkedIn [Buffer]. When selecting images, ensure they add real value and are directly related to your content. For example, a graphic of a new product feature is more impactful than a stock image of an office setting.

Integrating Text with Images

Avoid covering your images with too much text. The text should not dominate but complement your image. A caption or brief description is usually enough. Make sure that the image itself tells part of the story. If you have a graph or chart, let the visuals carry the data with minimal text.

When these design elements are properly balanced, your post will not only look more professional but will also communicate your message more effectively. As Seth Godin advises, always “write for your audience” and consider what will engage and help them most in their daily professional lives.

With these design tips, your LinkedIn posts can be more visually appealing, engaging, and informative, ultimately improving your reach and impact within your network.

LinkedIn Posting Frequency Guidelines

• Timing your posts right can boost engagement significantly.
• Frequent posting fosters visibility but requires a balanced approach.
• Analyze data to tailor frequency and timing for your audience.

1. Optimal Posting Times

Posting at the right time matters.

I know, I know… You stalked my page and you see me posting at 9 pm Eastern and think you can do the same… But the truth is.. Well, I am a renegade.. AND if I wanted to max engagement, I’d post at one time consistently for a long time… Which is what I did for 2 years from 2023 to 2025, and that is when I grew the most.

LinkedIn users are professionals. This is not Instagram or TikTok. People are not scrolling for fun, they are scrolling to find work, sell their product or to learn. So the high activity times are typically early mornings and lunch hours, are prime slots.

During these hours, professionals break from routine tasks and often check their feeds. Posts made during work hours, like at 9 AM, tend to draw more professional content engagement, while lighter posts do better post-work. Experimenting with different days and times can further refine your strategy.

I found the golden window is from 8am to 2pm London time as most of the world is awake during those hours. I used to post at 7 am Eastern, which is Noon in London, and that hit European professionals on lunch break, and it hit Americans and Canadians before they go to work. Great time to post.

2. Finding Your Posting Rhythm

Establishing a posting rhythm involves consistency without overwhelming your audience.

Data indicates that companies who post weekly enjoy a twofold increase in engagement. However, individual strategies vary. While some professionals benefit from daily updates, others might find better results with a few well-timed, high-quality posts each week. Statistics reveal posting three to five times weekly can vastly enhance visibility and engagement. For different sectors, like tech or healthcare, this frequency might shift slightly, with the former benefiting from more frequent posts.

Tracking audience reaction using LinkedIn analytics supports finding the sweet spot. This data helps gauge how different frequencies affect engagement, guiding adjustments. By assessing which posts spark conversation or shares, you can refine your strategy. Various platforms offer guides to mining these insights, which are valuable resources for those wanting more detailed management of their posting cadence.

3. Balancing Quantity with Quality

The frequent posting comes with the risk of diminishing returns if content quality drops. The mantra “quality over quantity” is strongly supported by LinkedIn success stories. The platform’s users value posts that add genuine value or insights over generic content. Some users may find daily posts effective for building a robust personal brand. Others might spot better returns by focusing on fewer, more thoughtful pieces. Insights from Made to Stick by Chip Heath and Dan Heath emphasize storytelling and impactful messaging, highlighting how quality inspires audience action.

This principle links closely to personal branding, as outlined in related articles on building a personal brand, which underline the significance of authentic, high-impact content. Striking the right balance can set professionals apart in this competitive landscape.

4. Evaluating Your Content Strategy

Fine-tuning frequency requires continuous evaluation of your content strategy. Trends suggest that well-defined strategies that align with audience expectations significantly elevate engagement. Tools and analytics help track interactions, revealing which frequencies and content types work best. This continuous feedback loop is key to maintaining relevance and engagement over time. Learning from industry leaders through case studies can provide actionable insights for this approach.

Reading industry-specific case studies or exploring deeper strategic guides, such as Surprising Ways to Stay Original in an AI World, can offer fresh perspectives on adapting these strategies. Authors like Gary Vaynerchuk in Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook elaborate on the importance of contextual content that meets audience needs at the right time.

5. Challenges and Considerations

Finally, be mindful of potential pitfalls. Overposting can lead to content fatigue, causing followers to disengage. Statistics indicate that posting too often may yield lower engagement rates. For instance, businesses posting multiple times daily might see less interaction per post. Tailor your strategy to avoid exhausting your network by focusing on delivering well-timed, pertinent content. Authors such as Seth Godin stress the dangers of oversaturating audiences and emphasize thoughtful content delivery.

Monitoring and adapting to these challenges ensures your LinkedIn presence remains effective. Regular reviews, paired with strategic adjustments, secure valuable audience engagement, sustaining your professional influence.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Tweak your post formats and content types to see what works.
• Evaluate the call to action’s clarity and effectiveness.

Low Engagement Solutions

Consistently low engagement can puzzle even the most seasoned LinkedIn users. A drop in likes, comments, or shares often signals a need for change. Testing different formats and content types is your starting point. Try swapping a text post for a video, or vice versa, to gauge response differences. Adjust the length. Shorter posts can capture attention, while longer, in-depth posts might engage certain audiences.

Reassessing the call to action (CTA) is crucial. Is it clear what you want your audience to do? A poorly defined CTA can make readers scroll past without thinking twice. Phrases like Join the conversation below or Check out our latest blog encourage interaction.

Consider the timing of your posts. Low engagement might not always be content-related but could be tied to when you’re posting. Review your posting schedule and compare it with the optimal posting times for your audience. If there’s a mismatch, adjust your timing to periods when your audience is most active.

Investigating your audience demographic can provide valuable insights. Are you targeting the right individuals? LinkedIn’s analytics can help identify if your posts reach the desired audience. Align your content with the interests and behaviors of your followers.

Finally, explore case studies or publications discussing engagement dynamics. Books like Contagious: How to Build Word of Mouth in the Digital Age by Jonah Berger offer deep insights into viral content strategies. Understanding these principles can aid in reshaping your content to better resonate with your audience.

Visual Content Not Performing

Visual content underperformance is another frequent issue. High-quality visuals are key. If you’re noticing low interaction on image or video posts, assess the quality of your visuals. Are they clear and relevant to the content? Low resolution and irrelevant visuals can disengage viewers immediately.

The length and clarity of video content matter too. Videos extending beyond three minutes might cause a drop-off in viewer retention. Captions are indispensable for videos, ensuring context even when muted. Testing different types of visuals, such as infographics or short clips, can reveal preferences within your audience.

Consistency in branding should also be examined. Are your visuals in line with your brand’s message and aesthetic? Inconsistent branding can confuse followers and impacts credibility. Review your visual design elements to ensure they align with your brand.

Leverage resources focused on visual content optimization. Books such as Made to Stick by Chip Heath and Dan Heath explain why some visuals gain attention while others do not. Utilize these insights to revamp your approach to creating impactful visual content.

CTA Not Driving Action

CTAs that do not drive the desired action indicate a problem with either the CTA itself or how it’s integrated into the post. The language must be direct, appealing, and easy to understand without being pushy. Short, action-driven CTAs tend to perform better. Study popular phrases in authoritative LinkedIn content to improve yours.

Positioning CTAs within your post is another area to scrutinize. It should naturally flow from the content’s body, while still being visible enough to grab attention. Avoid placing it at the very end where it might be overlooked.

Test different CTAs for effectiveness. A/B testing can reveal which phrases encourage more interaction from your audience.

Lastly, cross-reference your CTA strategy with resources like Pre-Suasion by Robert Cialdini, honing in on the psychological aspects of prompting action through online communication.

Post Not Reaching the Right Audience

Struggling to reach the intended audience can erode your LinkedIn strategy. First, ensure that your content aligns with keywords and phrases relevant to your industry and target audience. Tuning into industry conversations via hashtags and trend monitoring helps in crafting relevant content.

Using LinkedIn’s audience targeting features allows for precise reach. Are you using the correct filters and settings when publishing? Adjust these to better focus on the intended demographic or profession.

Engagement with industry leaders and participation in groups can broaden exposure to relevant followers. Share insights and responses in these forums to increase visibility amongst key demographic segments.

Explore advanced LinkedIn analytics resources to custom-tailor your audience strategy effectively. Publications like LinkedIn Marketing: An Hour a Day by Viveka von Rosen and Dayna Rothman offer detailed guides to improving audience targeting on the platform.

Post Quality vs. Quantity

Balancing quality with quantity is vital. Overposting can dilute your message and disengage your audience. Each post should offer distinct value or insight. Practice quality control by employing peer reviews before posting.

Perform regular audits of your content strategy to ensure you’re prioritizing quality. Check metrics to determine what type of content consistently performs well and shape future posts around these insights.

Engage with mentors or advisors from your network to receive feedback on your posting strategy. Such insights can filter out unnecessary clutter and ensure each post hits the mark.

Further Resources and Reading

• LinkedIn’s advanced guides can deepen your strategy.
• Industry case studies offer valuable insights.
• Formatting boosts branding and engagement.

1. Related Topics or Advanced Guides

LinkedIn is more than an online resume; it’s a platform where your digital reputation stands tall. Jill Rowley hit the nail on the head with that statement. Dig into LinkedIn’s official guides for a thorough understanding of advanced strategies. These resources are not light reading. They offer detailed explanations, sometimes stretching into the nitty-gritty of LinkedIn’s algorithms and tools. Look beyond the basics.

For those interested in niche applications, consider exploring industry-specific case studies. Case studies from sectors like finance, tech, and healthcare illustrate unique challenges and creative uses of LinkedIn. They can provide new ways to apply strategies to your own field.

When diving into these resources, also keep an eye on strategy changes over time. LinkedIn often updates its features without much fanfare. Being aware of these changes can give you an edge in how you manage your page and content.

2. Why Formatting LinkedIn Posts Matters

Formatting on LinkedIn is not just an aesthetic choice. It can be the crux of your professional branding strategy. A well-structured post makes you look thoughtful and professional. More than that, it significantly boosts engagement. Clean and organized posts are more likely to be read and shared.

Consider how people consume content. Structured posts guide the reader’s eye, making it easier to digest information quickly. This is crucial because LinkedIn users are busy professionals who skim before they commit to reading. Plainly put, your format can determine if someone engages or scrolls past.

There are arguments against spending too much time on formatting. Some believe content is king regardless of the presentation.

Find a middle ground by focusing on simple yet effective formats. Here’s a guide on building a personal brand on LinkedIn that aligns with these principles.

3. Books and Further Reading

For a deeper dive, pick up some highly recommended books that cover LinkedIn’s use in professional life. “LinkedIn Unlocked” by Melonie Dodaro is a great read. It offers actionable steps and strategies for maximizing the potential of your LinkedIn account. It goes beyond the basics to explain how to turn LinkedIn into a lead-generating machine.

For those curious about how digital strategies translate into tangible business results, “Digital Selling” by Grant Leboff explores this. This book connects LinkedIn content with sales outcomes, providing a broader perspective on its utility.

A counterpoint might be seen in books that argue for a wider focus beyond LinkedIn alone. Some argue that putting all your eggs in one basket limits your reach. Reading materials that argue for diversification will help you see the full picture.

4. Arguments For and Against Professional Branding

Branding yourself on LinkedIn comes with its set of debates. On the pro side, personal branding is key to standing out in crowded digital spaces. When your profile and posts consistently reflect your expertise and values, you attract like-minded professionals and opportunities. As Karen Yankovich says, “Make it a good one,” is the essence of your LinkedIn profile acting as an online business card.

The flip side is the risk of over-branding. It could make your posts seem inauthentic or overly curated. People tend to engage more with genuine content.

For those skeptical about aggressive branding strategies, remember Viveka Von Rosen’s insight that “consistency and authenticity” are central to building a brand that lasts.

5. Suggestions for Further Explorations

After absorbing the books and resources mentioned, consider venturing into podcasts and webinars. These platforms often feature thought leaders sharing fresh insights. The discussions can introduce new methods or overlooked facets of LinkedIn usage.

If visuals are a key part of your LinkedIn strategy, look at platforms like Canva’s tutorials on designing engaging posts. They often introduce new trends that can drive better engagement rates with visual content.

Finally, follow LinkedIn groups focusing on professional branding trends. These groups often share cutting-edge strategies, future trends, and insider tips that aren’t available in mainstream resources.

What’s Next?

Your LinkedIn posts can now stand out and get the attention they need. By focusing on strong openings, clean formatting, and smart use of visual elements, you’re ready to create content that people want to read and share.

Remember that good posts start with clear goals. Whether you want more comments, shares, or business leads, your formatting choices should match these goals. Keep your paragraphs short, use bullet points wisely, and pick the right time to post.

Testing different approaches is key. What works for others might not work for you. Pay attention to your post analytics and adjust your strategy based on what your audience responds to. If something isn’t working, try new formats or posting times until you find what fits.

Start small – pick one tip from this guide and use it in your next post. As you get comfortable, add more techniques to your toolkit. Focus on creating value for your readers, and the engagement will follow.
