I post on LinkedIn every day. Today I’m sharing my six-month results.

Six months ago, I posted something that garnered a couple of dozen views. “Cool,” I thought, and decided to try running my account with no content plan and no strategy. I just wanted to share my thoughts. Later, it turned into a tool for building my reputation, and now I’m not even sure: am I running LinkedIn, or is LinkedIn running me? 🙂

Today, I’ve gathered some numbers, results, and fun facts, and answered some of my followers’ questions.

Do recruiters and HR people reach out? No, not really. And that was my plan. Here’s why: I’m not job-hunting and don’t position myself as a candidate. I’m building the reputation of a strong marketer and an engaging storyteller. I think that protects me from offers I’m overqualified for or simply uninterested in. That said, I have received several great inquiries, ones definitely worth attention, for senior roles, mid-level positions, and personal brand management.

I just write about what interests me. My topics depend on that. If my interests change, maybe my “strategy” will too. Probably more about work, since now I have one.

Did I find a job? I did. I’m not sure LinkedIn directly helped, but thanks to it, I’ve had side gigs that have totaled about $1,000. That wasn’t my goal, though.

I didn’t expect such rapid growth or to reach such high numbers. So far, I’m satisfied 🙂

I’ve garnered 3.6 million impressions, gained over 7,000 followers, and written 270 posts, averaging 128 reactions and 30 comments.

Overall impression, I like it. I’m grateful to the people who read me. It makes me happy, and I encourage everyone who enjoys writing to just keep doing it, even if your reach isn’t impressive yet.
