Platform-Specific Best Practices

LinkedIn

  • Personal profiles outperform company pages 5-10x
  • First 2 lines are the hook (before "see more")
  • Carousels (PDF documents) get highest reach
  • Comment on 10-15 posts before/after publishing for algorithm boost
  • Polls get reach but low quality engagement
  • Best times: Tue-Thu 8-10am

Twitter/X

  • Threads outperform single tweets for depth
  • First tweet must stand alone as a hook
  • Quote tweets with added value > plain retweets
  • Engage in replies to build visibility
  • Trending hashtags only if genuinely relevant
  • Best times: Mon-Fri 9am-12pm

Instagram

  • Reels get 2-3x the reach of static posts
  • Carousels get highest saves and shares
  • Stories for daily engagement and polls
  • Use 3-5 hashtags (down from the old 30)
  • Collab posts for cross-audience growth
  • Best times: Tue-Fri 11am-1pm

Engagement Tactics

  1. Comment-first strategy — engage with 10-15 accounts in your niche before posting
  2. Reply to every comment within first 2 hours (algorithm signal)
  3. Ask questions — posts ending with questions get 2x comments
  4. Tag and mention — give credit, tag people you reference
  5. DM engagement — thoughtful DMs to new followers builds community
  6. User-generated content — reshare and credit customer/community content
