How I increased my Linkedin engagement 42% by reducing my posts by 90%

Get Noticed! Send a text.Simon Chappuzeau and entrepreneur Jim James have successfully increased engagement by 42% on Jim's LinkedIn while reducing their time to a couple of hours per week. They have created a presentation to share and discuss what they have learned over the last 11 weeks. In their presentation, Jim James and Simon Chappuzeau discuss the correlation between individual content pieces and the growth of engagement on LinkedIn. The UnNoticed Entrepreneur Jim is proud of the 41.5% improvement in engagement.Posts in the last 90 days received over 80,000 impressions. The key takeaway is that LinkedIn is a learning community, not a dumping place of content, and promotion will not get you any reach. Jim James and Simon Chappuzeau emphasized the importance of having a personal profile that showcases what you do, not just who you are, and how to add value to others. They also discussed the importance of having a good story and a profile that represents yourself. The golden rule is consistency in style, messaging, and posting frequency. It is essential to build expectations with your audience and stick to unmet promises. Posts should inform, educate, or inspire to spark curiosity and legitimate interest. Jim James' top-performing posts include a video, East West PR, and a slideshow about Simon Sinek, which all fall into the categories of inspire, educate, and inform. Descript is what I use to edit the show.All-in-one audio & video editing, as easy as a doc.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Why mental health could be your last remaining asset, with serial entrepreneur Paul Meyers in Singapore.

Get Noticed! Send a text.In this episode, Jim James speaks with Paul Meyers, a coach, mentor, VC, and investor with 20 years of experience in the startup industry. Meyers highlights that the media portrays founding a startup as something glamorous and successful, but in reality, it's emotional and can lead to mental health problems for founders. Meyers suggests normalizing discussions around mental health and creating safe spaces for founders to talk about their fears and challenges.Meyers also discusses why males are less likely to approach mental health coaches than females, due to societal expectations of appearing strong and competent. He notes that the stress of being a founder can lead to unhealthy behaviors and a loss of empathy. Meyers suggests that displaying empathy and normalizing conversations around mental health can help founders recognize the symptoms of stress and address them before it becomes too late.Post-production, transcript and show notes by XCD Virtual AssistantsSupport the showBe a podcast guest.

How the cashback, arbitrage and aggregations strategy can help you gain 50,000 customers; with Frank DeBlasi

Get Noticed! Send a text.In this episode, host Jim James interviews Frank DeBlasi, co-founder of Hoopla Doopla, a loyalty shopping site that rewards customers with cashback from over 5,000 retailers. Deblasi explains that Hoopla's business model is based on aggregation and arbitrage: merchants pay Hoopla a commission for every sale made through the site, and Hoopla gives a portion of this commission back to customers as cashback. To attract merchants, Hoopla joined affiliate networks, such as CJ's, and applied for affiliate programs that allowed them to access the merchants' creative resources, such as promotional offers and coupon codes. To attract customers, Hoopla uses several methods, including social media, email, influencers, and referral programs.Deblasi also shares how Hoopla got coverage on national TV, which he attributes to good timing, product, and plan. When the US was in an economic recession in 2009, a New York Fox News producer reached out to Hoopla because he believed their concept of putting money in people's pockets during tough times was a great idea. Deblasi revealed that the producer found out about Hoopla through a Facebook post he made, which was being shared by people.As a tip for entrepreneurs, Deblasi advises leveraging social media to spread the word about your business and to create a referral program to incentivise customers to refer others to your site. He also recommends joining affiliate networks and applying for affiliate programs to gain access to merchants' creative resources.Post-production, transcript and show notes by XCD Virtual AssistantsSupport the showBe a podcast guest.
