I did the #brand30 back in August. He doesn't suggest topics since cohorts come from all sorts of backgrounds, his training is more focused on how to structure and format content for LinkedIn and how to build consistent posting habits. I liked the course materials better than the live classes but YMMV.

Ahh ok. I got another course (free) and it’s been really helpful. I’ll watch the others (and check your profile) to see how others are doing.

Did your followers grow a lot @Lauren Higbee

Also, what’s YMMV?

YMMV is an internet shorthand for "your mileage may vary" aka your experience may be different from mine.

I would say I had medium growth, but I was starting from scratch vs already having a following. I mostly wanted to get in the practice of posting more often vs following a specific formula so I wasn't as focused on numbers. Others on my cohort saw large growth, especially if they used clickbait-type content (one guy posted sales-related memes for 30 days). Leslie was mentioned as a success story to our cohort, so she might be better to answer about how it helped growth. Looking back, I had too broad of a focus and so it was scattershot. I also felt a lot of (self-imposed) pressure add value every day vs just posting for the sake of posting. I flamed out as a result, but I want to try again for myself with a better action plan in place.

Why did LinkedIn restrict your acct for that? That’s whack. For brand30, I’m only day 2, but I get the pressure mounting to post since last Monday when I started getting the emails from Andrew 😅. I jotted down what I want to cover over the next 20ish days, so let’s see how it goes.

I got 4 restrictions in 3 days. IDK what happened because I didnt even have time to look at other profiles, I just got another restriction saying it seems I’d been automating looking at profiles or having my profile looked at. I’m not.

Mary - that's where my grateful Fridays came from.
