Answers
My biggest challenge on LinkedIn is consistently creating engaging content that stands out in a saturated feed. With so many professionals sharing valuable insights, it's tough to cut through the noise and capture people's attention. Additionally, measuring the ROI of LinkedIn marketing can be challenging, making it difficult to justify increased investment or resource allocation.
While LinkedIn is a goldmine for B2B marketers, it's also a highly competitive platform. The challenge lies in creating content that truly resonates with professionals, captures attention, and drives engagement amidst the constant stream of updates.
Here are some other significant challenges:
- Algorithm changes: LinkedIn's algorithm is constantly evolving, making it difficult to maintain consistent reach and engagement.
- Building a strong personal brand: Establishing a credible and authoritative personal brand on LinkedIn takes time and effort.
- Measuring ROI: Quantifying the impact of LinkedIn marketing on business goals can be challenging.
- Keeping up with platform updates: LinkedIn introduces new features and functionalities regularly, requiring continuous learning and adaptation
One of the biggest challenges when it comes to social media marketing on LinkedIn is maintaining consistent engagement while standing out in a professional, content-saturated environment. LinkedIn's audience is highly focused on professional development, networking, and industry insights, making it crucial to create content that not only resonates with this audience but also encourages meaningful interaction.
Specific Challenges Include:
Content Relevance: Ensuring that posts are highly relevant, valuable, and timely to attract and engage the right audience.
Building a Strong Network: Growing a targeted network of connections and followers who are genuinely interested in your content and business.
Balancing Personal and Professional: Finding the right balance between sharing personal insights that humanize your brand and maintaining a professional tone appropriate for LinkedIn.
Consistent Posting: Maintaining a consistent posting schedule while ensuring each post is high quality and adds value.
Algorithm Changes: Adapting to LinkedIn’s evolving algorithms, which can impact the visibility and reach of your content.
Measuring ROI: Accurately tracking and measuring the return on investment (ROI) of LinkedIn marketing efforts, especially when results are more long-term and focused on relationship-building.
Navigating these challenges requires a strategic approach, continuous learning, and adapting to the platform’s unique environment and audience expectations.

What is the best timing in the new year to launch business marketing?
Hi there! In few words, the launch date does not matter a lot as long as you are following with a continuous marketing plan all the year. It is better to tune your lunch date according to your marketing campaign than connecting it to the seasonal event. The timing of your launch only matters if your website is already ranked or has a good authority associated to it. Launching a website is not like opening a local shop. The launch date is defined by the effectiveness of your marketing campaign. In other words, your question must be rephrased as: "When is the best time to launch my first marketing campaign for my newly created website?". In that case, you will need to describe in details what kind of website you have and how are you planning to market it. I would be able to give you a more accurate answer if you explain to me what kind of website are you planning to launch or what products mainly are you selling. Hope that helps!RZ

What should I do to have my first client on Clarity.fm?
I started on Clarity just by answering questions last summer. I used to love Quora but really disagreed with a number of changes they made and so when Clarity launched answers, I started answering questions. I'm incredibly busy but let's face it: we all have extra time. We spend it looking at our phones, on Facebook, socializing with friends, whatever way each person does it, we all spend time on non mission critical stuff. Because I genuinely enjoy helping others, I treated Quora as a way of relaxing the same way others would read news sites or blogs. And so I switched all that time to Clarity by answering questions. I don't recall the exact specifics but by providing real answers (not just, "call me, I can help you), I had my first call request within about a month of my first answer. And I got a nice review. And some more questions answered, and a couple more calls, and a couple more reviews. And from that point, the call volume increased. Simultaneously, I started referring all "can I pick your brain" requests on LinkedIn and email to my Clarity account. And so some calls initiated that way. More reviews. Now, a year later, I have done over 200 calls, with the majority of it inbound from Clarity. Take it from me, if you make the time, and provide genuine help to people, you will get rewarded for it. But like anything in life, if you're not willing to invest the time and resources, you're unlikely to see any return.TW

What are some marketing strategies we can use to reach new customers?
Start with creating your USP (aka Message). This message will be the statement that sums up the reasons for doing business with you from THEIR perspective based on what THEY want (versus why YOU think they should do business with you). It may feature a unique ability your company can provide - some feature or benefit or experience that they either can't get anywhere else or that you do better than anyone else - and I'd strongly suggest it NOT be based on your low pricing. To do this - get very clear about what pain (or problem) your business gets rid of (or solves) and what promise you make to your market. For example: When you say "excellent quality" and "affordable"... what exactly does that mean and why should your market care? -How will they KNOW it's "excellent" (according to them)? And do they want excellent? Maybe they want fast... -What does "quality" mean and how will they know? If you fix my cellphone and it works... How is that qualitatively different from anyone else fixing my phone? Isn't fixed the same as fixed? -What is "affordable"? And affordable for whom? Lastly - When you say "specialize" - and then say cellphone and tablet repair... Does that mean you specialize in ALL cellphones and tablets? Because when you say "cellphones and tablets" it sounds more like you generalize in a type of handheld electronic product. A specialist is an expert in a small area of products or services. Think deep and narrow. For example - You can specialize in repairing a certain brand - Such as "we specialize exclusively in the repair of Samsung cellphones and tablets"... Or you can specialize in the repair of devices running on the Android platform.... (you get the idea) Once you find your USP - use it in all of your inbound and outbound marketing platforms. I wish you the best of luck in your marketing efforts! -DavidDB

Which link shortener should we use in our social sharing strategy to track our Analytics?
I might suggest starting with Bitly and exploring the possibility of getting a custom branded shortener, which you can set up through Bitly once the domain is purchased. For example, my website is philpallen.com but I shorten all links to philp.al/link so it's more professional. I feel like many other shorteners look like spam, but I'd say your safe with Bitly because it's widely used. A custom one would be even better!PP

I have to ask why you would start an agency in an area you don't have much experience in. Perhaps you'd be better off getting at least a little experience first?AV
