I stumbled across this article when one of my posts went viral yesterday. Hope this helps you on building your brand! TLDR: Do, to favor the LinkedIn algorithm: - Use 1200–1600 characters for your post; that’s about ~170 to 400 words - With the ‘catch’ at the start, before the ‘read more’ cut-off after three lines - Use three to five #. Check the sources for all details to balance between the big trending # and more personal ones. No dependency on where in your post you use the #; it can be anywhere - Personal stories and employer branding work best - Emoticons rock; maximum ten in total, with a maximum of four per line - Use selfies (yes, ugh) (+80 to 90% reach) - If you tag and it’s a company, make sure the company reacts within one hour (2x the reach as when a person is tagged and reacts). This is especially relevant for recruiters and employees who (re)post a job vacancy - For companies: use the option: ‘notify employees’ or ‘recommend to employees’ via the three dots. If they share within four hours, you have +30% growth Don’t annoy the LinkedIn algorithm: - Don’t edit within the first ten minutes after posting; this destroys your reach (updated in May) - Don’t comment on your own post within the first two hours (-20% reach if it’s within) - Don’t post twice in 18h (-15%) or three times in 18h (-30%) - Don’t add a link in the comment after one hour (-20%) or edit a post after one hour (-10%). If you need to, wait a bit longer

One year ago, I reached a breaking point. I was working 12-hour days, barely sleeping, and constantly feeling overwhelmed. The pressure to keep up with everything led to burnout. I was exhausted, uninspired, and questioning if this path was even worth it anymore. So, I made the hardest decision of my life. I stepped back. I cut my work hours in half, reorganized the way I ran my business, refocused on my health, and prioritized time with family. At first, it felt impossible. I feared falling behind. But something incredible happened. By giving myself room to breathe, I came back stronger. My creativity flourished, my productivity improved, and I was more energized than ever. By focusing on the things that I enjoyed doing I was able to feel energized while doing them. Looking back, burnout wasn’t a sign of weakness—it was a signal to reset. Lessons Learned: 1. Success is not defined by how hard you work, but by how smart you work. 2. Rest is not a reward—it’s a requirement. 3. True productivity happens when you protect your energy. 4. The fear of falling behind is just that—a fear. Prioritize yourself, and success will follow. 5. Balance isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. Have you ever felt this way? What's the most effective way to prevent burnout?
