The Best Kind of Content on LinkedIn is the Kind That Starts Conversations....

Most people post on LinkedIn hoping someone will see it.

But the real power of LinkedIn content isn’t visibility, it’s connection.

If your content doesn’t give you a reason to message someone, you’re leaving leads on the table.

That’s why the best content to create isn’t random tips or inspiration; it’s content that permits you to start a conversation.

Here are three of my favorite types:

✅ LinkedIn Polls — You can message everyone who votes.

Ask a strategic question and open a genuine dialogue with your voters.

🎥 LinkedIn Live Trainings or Events — You can give a direct call-to-action in real time.

Say things like, “Type me in the comments if you’d like the free guide” or “Drop yes if you’d like to attend my next workshop.”

📰 LinkedIn Newsletters — You can message every subscriber.

Use it to ask what topics they want next, or simply let them know you’re available to help.

Each of these formats does one thing better than any other:

They help you build relationships that lead to revenue.

Because at the end of the day, content doesn’t generate leads, conversations do.

Robin J. Emdon — aka The Procrastination Slayer — is the creator of GetResultsology® – The Science of Getting Stuff Done! and host of the GoalBusters podcast (100+ episodes).

His journey from chronic procrastinator to accountability coach began with a face-palm moment in 2019: despite being a trained life coach, it had taken him ten years to finish a six-year home-study degree — stalled by years of procrastination.

That embarrassing realization sparked a three-year deep dive into academic studies and science-backed books on the topic.

Based in South Devon, England, Robin now helps solopreneurs, creatives, and independent professionals achieve up to 33% more of their goals through brain-based strategies, accountability, and his momentum formula:

Do it today. Profit tomorrow. Repeat!

If you publish a LinkedIn newsletter, you’re probably missing out on three powerful hidden features that can help you get discovered beyond LinkedIn.

Inside the settings of each newsletter edition, LinkedIn gives you the ability to:

✅ Create a custom URL — perfect for SEO or sharing directly on other platforms.

✅ Add an SEO title — the headline that Google sees (and ranks).

✅ Add an SEO description — a short summary that appears in search results and helps potential readers decide to click.

Most creators never touch these fields, but they can make the difference between your newsletter being seen by hundreds or discovered by thousands.

If you’re serious about growing your readership, visibility, and search traffic, don’t skip these hidden settings.

In today’s episode, I’ll walk you through how to access them, how to write optimized titles and descriptions, and how to leverage the custom URL for better shareability.

Meet Kyle

I’m passionate about how we gather. And I’m here to bring change to those spaces!

Conferences have become over-produced. Offsites are glorified meetings. And men’s retreats often miss the mark; either too shallow or too scripted.

We’re here to change that. We believe a powerful connection happens when people are given space to think, challenge themselves physically, and step into environments that strip away the noise.

Our experiences are intentionally designed to do just that.

Every fire we build, every trail we hike, every challenge we introduce…it’s all crafted to create clarity, trust, and perspective.

We don’t rely on gimmicks or glossy production. We believe in earned moments. In letting the environment, the effort, and the group do what they were built to do.

This isn’t just about escaping.

It’s about returning with something better. We guide people - men, teams, leaders - through experiences that help them see differently, lead differently, and live more deliberately.

The world doesn’t need more content. It needs more character. And we’re building it, one unforgettable experience at a time.

What Can You Actually Automate on LinkedIn (Without Getting Restricted)?

This has been a huge topic lately, and for good reason.

Many professionals want to save time, but they’re unknowingly using tools that violate LinkedIn’s user agreement.

So let’s clear this up once and for all.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can automate your LinkedIn activity, the short answer is: you really can’t.

The longer answer is that there are limited, compliant ways to simplify certain parts of your process.

Here’s what’s off the table:

❌ Automating connection requests

❌ Automating messages

❌ Automating likes, comments, or engagement

❌ Scraping or exporting data from profiles

These are all major red flags for LinkedIn and can lead to account restrictions or even permanent bans.

What is acceptable?

✅ Scheduling your content, either directly on LinkedIn (which now allows up to 90 days in advance)

✅ Using posting tools only for publishing content, not for engagement or outreach

Tools like Buffer, Hootsuite, or Canva can be used to pre-schedule posts across multiple platforms, but understand that connecting them to LinkedIn still carries some risk.

If LinkedIn is your primary platform, it’s always safest to use LinkedIn’s own scheduling feature.

The bottom line: LinkedIn rewards genuine activity, real conversations, authentic content, and consistent posting.

Automating human connection defeats the purpose of being on the platform.

🚫 How to Get Yourself Kicked Off LinkedIn (Hint: Don’t Take Bad Advice) 🚫

In this episode, I dive into the easiest way to find yourself on the wrong side of LinkedIn’s policies: using unauthorized tools.

There’s a lot of bad advice out there.

People will say, “Oh, I use this bot or that extension and I haven't been caught.”

But here’s the reality: if you actually read the LinkedIn User Agreement, you’ll see that using any third-party software to scrape data, automate connections, or message people is a surefire way to get kicked off the platform.

Bottom line: if you want to stay on LinkedIn and thrive, stick to LinkedIn-approved tools like Sales Navigator.

That’s the only automation they allow.

Everything else is just a shortcut to losing your account.

Stay smart, stay compliant, and keep your LinkedIn journey safe!
