Over 60K Words on LinkedIn: What I Wrote About
--
Iam the number 1 LinkedIn Enthusiast. About a fortnight ago, I requested a copy of my data activities from LinkedIn. I wanted to find out how active I was on LinkedIn and what topics I have been interacting with.
For those who are not aware about it, each LinkedIn user can go to the “Settings” page and request for a copy of your activities and what you have put up on LinkedIn.
The data archive was ready for download 15 hours later.
What I Found in My Data Archives
I was blown away by my findings!!
On average, I write about 32 comments per day, equating to about 1,176 words. So what do I actually comment about?
Before I spent some time examining over 60,000 words I’ve composed in all my comments, I removed words like “thank you”. This was because I was more interested to find out the exact content of what I write about rather than the “thanks” that would skew the results I was after.
My top word was “like”!
To express my interest and love in a wide variety of topics.
I use like to give examples and case studies to back up my opinions! :)
My second frequently use word was “content”
I keep promoting content to people.
I ask people when they plan to start creating content.
Content marketing, content creation, content creators, content that your audience want.
Post was the next top word.
I kept mentioning the viral post and post engagement, asked folks about top performing posts and if they post at the same time everyday :)
And I tell people when I LIKE their Post :)
My next most used word was People!
People connecting with people.
When people start to follow you.
How people will trust you.
Like-minded people I’ve met.
It was an incredible reflection of how I communicate with people on LinkedIn and what I frequently preach about.
