How to Turn LinkedIn Into Your #1 Channel

Build Your Executive LinkedIn Strategy in 5 Steps

I've spent 5 years perfecting a framework that recently transformed one CEO's profile into a growth engine: 6.1M views, +12,000 followers, and real pipeline in his first 12 months.

For the first time ever, I'm sharing this framework in a free webinar.


No fluff. No 'viral hacks.' Just a proven system for building trust at scale.

Register here to save your spot.

I've been talking a lot about video hooks lately.

Because video consumption is on the rise. It's unignorable.

And here's what I've learned: elite marketers know how to grab attention anywhere.

Doesn't matter if it's TikTok, billboards, or website H1s, it all comes down to that first moment. Either I hook my audience or I lose them.

Living in B2B SaaS, I spend my time on the coolest social platform around: LinkedIn.

*Pauses for laughter*

To win, I need to know both my audience and my playground.

What do people expect?
What constraints am I working with?
What content formats drive the most engagement?

I've been on LinkedIn for 5+ years and I've learned that knowing the algo is a major advantage.

So while I always create for humans first, I've learned to leverage LinkedIn's algorithm too.

That's become my approach: Create for people, optimize for the algorithm.

So I analyzed 250 videos on LinkedIn's new Video Feed to understand:

-The algorithm: What type of videos get featured on the feed?
-The people: What type of videos are most popular?

Here's what we found 👇🏻

A few might surpise you.

(PS: I put all the data and tips into one easy checklist — you can download it here.)

I'm curious...

Are you posting more or less video on LinkedIn this year?

Holler back and lmk.

See you letter,
Devin
