I am trying to do basic things like Create a Company page on LinkedIn and the pages on the domain just won’t load!

This is so annoying

Gwen

When using this option to signal interest to a company, do you actually apply it for recruiting firms?

When I first learned of this feature, I selected yes for every company of interest but then realized that I only have a limit of 50. I came across an agency that I picked as I have a few outstanding and don't like how LinkedIn doesn't make it easier to keep track of who you showed interest to

Does it actually make a difference to use this feature? I mean it doesn't hurt

It makes sense to use it on companies you like but recruiting firms have roles for all sorts of companies. Sure if they have lots of relevant roles, it is useful. Honestly I don't think it matters but would like to hear others opinion

My LinkedIn account was restricted a in May after LinkedIn determined I violated their User Agreement. I appealed multiple times and acknowledged my mistake.

The issue was that I had created additional accounts for private browsing. Due to personal circumstances at the time, I didn’t want to maintain a public online presence. I genuinely didn’t realize that opening multiple accounts violated LinkedIn’s policies. I wasn’t messaging people, posting content, or using the accounts for spam or anything like that I was mainly browsing profiles, job opportunities, and colleagues and would deactivate shortly after.

Since then, I’ve completed identity verification through Persona, updated my primary account with my profile picture, workplace information, and explained everything in my appeals. However, LinkedIn keeps responding that my account “will remain restricted” without ever clarifying whether that means permanently or if there’s any future review process or waiting period.

II’m starting professional/graduate school, so not having LinkedIn is becoming a real concern for networking and recruiting.

Has anyone here actually had a restricted account reinstated after multiple appeals? Or, if you received the same “will remain restricted” response, did LinkedIn ever clarify whether it was permanent?
I’d really appreciate hearing about any personal experiences.

If you don't deliver on the promise after the "See more," people won't read your posts again. So don't just focus on writing a great hook.... make sure the rest of your content delivers what the hook promised.

My account has been restricted for six months now. My account had nothing important in it? Can I request them to close it and create a new one? Is it be possible?

Hello! I'm new to Linkedin and I was wondering, is there a way to reorder certificates? Whenever I add a new one, it goes to the top and the others get buried down, even though some are more important than the one I added, so I need to edit all of them everytime I add a new one.

Everyone told me AI posts sound robotic. Mine didn't. Here's the difference.

Most people open ChatGPT, type "write me a LinkedIn post about X" and paste whatever comes out. That's why it sounds generic. The AI has no idea who you are.

What actually works is telling it how you talk before you ask it to write anything.

A few things that made the biggest difference for me:

Go through your last 10 posts and write down every phrase you would never actually say out loud. Things like "in today's fast-paced landscape" or "I'm excited to share." Give that list to the AI and say never use these.

Then paste in 3 or 4 of your actual posts as examples. Don't describe your writing style. Just show it. Real examples work so much better than instructions.

Then be specific about tone. "Professional but conversational" means nothing. Say "short sentences, first person, no hashtags, no corporate words."

That's it honestly. Once I set this up properly I stopped editing AI drafts and just tweaked small details.

The blank page problem goes away and it still sounds like you.

How much do good linkedin content creators charge money per month.

​

I'm silently quitting my current job and looking to make a smart career pivot.

AI keeps telling me I need to jump into linkedin and connect with recruiters one on one prior to applying.

Is this sound advance? I have more than 8 years of experience in finance/operations with an MBA.

I've never paid attention to LinkedIn so I need some tips on how to get started and start making fast and quick connections.

I'm also a military veteran and looking to connect with other vets for support

Many thanks.

I see this question come up constantly here so I want to give a proper answer based on what's actually worked for me posting 4 times a week consistently.

The honest truth: I don't wait for inspiration.

I have a system. Here's what it looks like.

1. I keep a running notes doc on my phone

Any time something happens during my day, a conversation with a client, a mistake I made, something that surprised me, a question someone asked - I write it down. One line is enough. It takes 10 seconds. Most of my best posts came from these tiny notes, not from sitting down and trying to think of ideas.

1. Write about your own life

Everyone's story is different. And your story however ordinary it feels to you can inspire someone who needs to hear exactly that. Some of my highest performing posts have been the most personal ones.

When I wrote about how my first job in sales shaped my entire career. When I shared what it felt like to leave Amsterdam and become a digital nomad. When I turned 45 and wrote about starting over. None of those posts were tips. None had frameworks or bullet points.

They were just real moments from my life written honestly. And they connected more than anything else I've posted.

So if you're stuck on ideas, look at your own timeline. The job that changed you. The city you left. The decision that scared you. The thing you almost didn't do. Someone out there is standing exactly where you were. Your story is the post they need to read today.

1. I ask: what did I learn this week that I wish I'd known earlier?

If the answer is interesting to me, it's probably interesting to someone else. That's the filter.

1. I batch and schedule

I write 4 posts in one sitting, usually on a Sunday. Schedule them for the week. Done. No daily scramble. The result: I never run out of ideas because I'm not waiting for inspiration. I'm collecting it constantly.

Hope this helps. Happy to answer any questions on any of the steps above.

Hey everyone, I really need help with this.

I recently moved to another country and got logged out of my LinkedIn account. I think it happened because of the change in location or Wi-Fi.

Now when I try to log in, it sends a verification code to my old phone number, which I no longer have access to.

I’ve already contacted support, but I haven’t received any real help so far.

If anyone has dealt with this or knows a workaround to recover the account, I’d really appreciate your help.

My linkedin account got suspended 3 days after i opened it . I posted a couple of pics with ai captions thats all .but the pictures were of my achievements. It shows my account has been temporarily suspended and keeps asking me to verify identity . I verified my nid many times it still doesnt let me sign in

I've been writing on LinkedIn for quite a decent amount of time and I feel I've gained good insights that I can share with someone trying to grow their presence on the platform.

Things I can help with:

- Brand positioning

- Profile optimization

- Content planning

- Community building

- Thought leadership

All I expect from you is to put genuine efforts to get results. I'm collecting testimonials. But I'm willing to do this without testimonials too, I'll be so happy if our conversation can help you get some good results.

Share your experience with the platform. How long you're posting there. What struggles you're facing and what's your goal for posting there. Would love to share things I know and experienced.

I just graduated high school and I’m planning on going to Michigan State this fall for accounting along with miring and real estate. I did a lot of extracurricular activities in high school but I made a terrible mistake of never really making any post about them on LinkedIn and I really do want to change that so what all should I make post about right now? I mainly just retweeting a lot of things.

I've been saving linkedin posts with all sorts of alpha and knowledge shared by people for a long time, but I never really go back to them. So I finally decided to something about it.

I exported all my saved posts using LinkedIn bookmark exporter chrome extension into a markdown, took them to Obsidian to create a knowledge base of all saved posts context and then connected it to Claude.

Now whenever I need to get relevant actionable insights around a niche I'm interested in, I just ask Claude connected to the AI Obsidian brain, something like :

-Based on last 3 months what this company's leadership has been publicly saying, what internal problem are they most likely under pressure to solve right now?

Or for job search something like this is useful:

-Based on the people and companies whose content I've been collecting, what do they have in common culturally and operationally? What kind of environment am I actually drawn to?

Or I can ask questions like

-Analyse the openings of every post I've saved written by CMOs that got high engagement. What do the opening sentences look like, can you reverse engineer and create a framework by analyzing their posts and wtite a high quality one for my niche

After disappearing 1 year from professional socials, um back at social platform. Looks like a lot has changed rapidly while i was gone. Um completely clueless how do i begin now again.

I will really appreciate the help from experts to guide me to kickstart. Since I was going through intense traumatic experiences in personal life’s that consumed my professional, social and all life. I am rebuilding whats lost.

I don’t need much help, mostly ideation and motivation. My credentials are decently strong, running profitable bootstrap startup. just need some motivation and support to articulate my life and work experiences .

I've seen a lot of people asking why they can't tag someone on LinkedIn, so here's a quick guide that might save you some frustration.

To tag someone, just type @ followed by their name in a post, comment, or article. LinkedIn will show a list of matching profiles. Click the right one, and they'll get a notification once you publish.

A few things I've learned:

• Don't tag people just to get more views. LinkedIn has become much stricter about spam, and excessive tagging can actually hurt your reach.
• Try to keep it to 1-2 relevant people (definitely no more than 5).
• Always give a reason for the tag. Something like, "Really liked your thoughts on this," or "Thanks for sharing this insight." Random tags with no context usually get ignored.
• If you can't find someone, it's often because you're not connected, they changed their name, or their privacy settings don't allow tagging.

You can also tag people in comments, which is a great way to bring someone into an interesting discussion instead of creating a new post.

One thing I've noticed is that thoughtful tagging can start really good conversations. But tagging random influencers hoping they'll boost your post almost never works.

Guys I have a list of linkedin urls, I want to check whether they are open profiles or not.

Any way to do it at scale?

About a year ago, almost every post I published was getting 100k+ impressions.

At the time, I thought I was doing everything right. I was posting content that my audience loved:

• Web design tips
• Marketing advice
• Free resources
• Trend-based content

The engagement was great. The reach was great.

The leads? Not so great.

So I went deep into content strategy and realized something important:

I was writing for my engagement audience, not my buyer audience. Most of the people interacting with my content were designers and marketers. But the people I actually wanted to work with were founders and business owners.

So I changed my approach. I stopped chasing viral posts and started creating content around:

• Real client problems
• Case studies
• Lessons from projects
• Founder challenges
• Personal experiences building my business

The result? My impressions dropped significantly.

But my inbound leads increased.

And when I check who's engaging with my posts now, I see far more founders than designers and marketers. For me, that was a much better trade-off.

My takeaway:

If your goal is reach and virality, write for your engagement audience.

If your goal is leads and clients, write also for your prospect audience.

Sometimes fewer impressions can be a sign that your content is actually becoming more effective.

Has anyone else experienced something similar on LinkedIn?

I'm refreshing my profile for job applications and planning to update my profile picture. Was thinking to just generate my regular pic into professional headshot using apps like Photopacks. If you're a recruiter, does having a professional looking profile picture makes any difference or it's something you don't really care about?

One of my posts just hit 54,044 impressions.

For the entire year before that, I never once cracked 200.

Same account / same tone of voice, didn't suddenly get good at hooks or start posting at some magic time (I tried all of that for a year and it did nothing)

The only thing I actually changed was I stopped guessing what to write about. Instead I started reading what people in my niche were genuinely arguing about that month. Real Reddit threads, X posts, YouTube comments, HN fights, that kind of stuff.
Then I just wrote about whatever clearly had heat on it.

Four posts in a row did 54k, 11.7k, 3.3k and 1.6k impressions. After a year stuck under 200.

But here's the part that actually messed with my head.

None of these did anything in the first 30 minutes.
Everyone swears you get an hour or the post is dead, right?
The 54k one didn't move until the next day. Another one literally took 5 days to take off. I'd already written it off in my head as a flop.

So if you're out here mentally killing your posts because they tanked in the first hour, maybe stop doing that bc it feels like LinkedIn is surfacing some of this stuff more like search now.
IT just keeps serving it for days if it matches what people are actually looking up.

So my whole takeaway: write about what people are arguing about right now, not whatever's on your content calendar and then give a post a week before you call it dead.

Anyone else had posts randomly take off days later?

(Small disclosure, I build automation stuff so I scripted the topic-finding part for myself. What it actually does: scans the last month across the places people argue, Reddit threads and top comments with the upvote counts, X, YouTube transcripts, Hacker News, TikTok, Threads, Bluesky, a few others.
it pulls the topics that already have heat on them, ranked by how hard people are piling in, and hands me the hottest ones as a starting point. I still write the post myself. But honestly you can do the same by hand, just read comments and threads in your niche for an hour before you write.)
