Nikolett’s rapid growth on LinkedIn comes down to one thing: giving before gaining.

Whether you’re growing on LinkedIn, Instagram, or any other platform, the principle is the same: focus on building genuine connections and helping people in some way.

Here’s how Nikolett approached it, step by step:

1. Format your posts for easy attention-grabbing.

   • Start with a one-line sentence that “hooks” people.
     (A question can be a great hook!)

   • Add 2-3 sentences that build on your hook, so people keep reading!

   • Keep paragraphs 2-3 lines max, with one blank line in between.

2. Engage consistently.

   • Leave 20-30 thoughtful comments every day.

   • Focus on your ideal clients and industry peers.

   • Click the bell on top creators’ profiles to get notified when they post. Engaging early gives you more visibility.

3. Send meaningful DMs.

   • Reference a post or detail from their profile.

   • Thank them for their insights or encouragement.

   • Build a connection. Don’t just try to pitch them immediately.

Nikolett’s habits work because they focus on human principles, not algorithm hacks:

• Clarity: People connect with ideas they can understand.

• Consistency: Small actions compound into meaningful growth.

• Authenticity: Building trust creates lasting relationships.

These truths don’t just apply to LinkedIn—they apply to any goal you’re trying to achieve.

If you’ve been struggling to put yourself out there, grow your audience, or create more opportunities to do what you love, here’s what Nikolett’s story shows:

• Get clear on your message. Whether it’s a post, a pitch, or a goal, know what you want to say and why it matters.

• Show up consistently. Pick the spaces where “your people” hang out, and make showing up a habit.

• Build real connections. Give value first—whether through content, comments, or gratitude—and watch your relationships grow naturally.

Nikolett didn’t rely on ads or expensive programs to grow her presence on LinkedIn. Her success came from small, intentional actions done daily.
