I'm a direct response Copywriter and currently building my portfolio.

I made 3 Landing pages (SEO FOCUSED) for a real company

Wrote 2 News articles for them .

Should I add more things in the portfolio or not?

Should the portfolio be in google docs , website, or as a pdf??

Should It be brighty and shiny or just simple??

One last thing should I include some of my pics in it??

I got work in voice over and decided to change my first and last name on LinkedIn. This found me in violation of apparently multiple policies in LinkedIn and now I'm restricted. I've contacted and explained that I'll happily change it back but I can't even access the account. They sent me this and closed the ticket:

Thanks for contacting us. Your account has violated the LinkedIn User Agreement and Professional Community Policies. Due to the number and/or the severity of these violations, your account will remain restricted.

What can I do now? I need a LinkedIn to share my voice demo. Would making a new account exacerbate the issue or will I need to try something else?

My verified LinkedIn account got compromised and was temporarily restricted.

I have tried to recover it including contacting the support without success.

Is there anyone here with some magical tips to help me get the account back?

Have you received something like that before?

Fala, pessoal. Tudo bem?

Sempre trabalhei como Analista de Relacionamento/CS Júnior, com forte foco em onboarding. Quem viveu essa rotina sabe bem como é: a gente entra em uma dinâmica que mais parece a linha de montagem da Ford. É volume, processo engessado e um incêndio atrás do outro para apagar. No fim do dia, a sensação é de que faltou tempo até para respirar, quem dirá para desenvolver um pensamento mais analítico ou estratégico.

O problema é que o tempo passou, fui promovido a Pleno, e agora bateu aquela famosa síndrome do impostor. A verdade crua é: eu não sei fazer outra coisa a não ser atender chamados e apagar incêndios. Sinto que virei um especialista em executar o operacional, mas travei na hora de analisar dados, olhar o cenário macro do cliente e gerar valor de verdade.

Para quem já passou por essa transição ou lidera a área: se você pudesse dar um único conselho para o seu "eu" do passado nessa mesma situação, qual seria?

Como escapar da armadilha de continuar sendo apenas o "bombeiro" da operação agora que o cargo exige muito mais cabeça e estratégia?

I met this guy at a networking event/party couple of years back when I was in grad school and he shared his contact and we connected on LinkedIn. I was looking for an internship back then and he said while his company is not hiring at the moment, I should reach out to him once I graduate for grad opportunities. I ended up finding an internship and joined the same company full time. Tbh I forgot about him after that and recently saw his posts on LinkedIn and he joined a company in a similar industry as mine.

I don't have a solid professional network outside some friends and I am thinking if I should reach out to him again for a coffee chat or something? I am not looking for immediate job change but he works at a high position in a very good company so it'd be good to have a contact like that and the ideal situation for me would be getting mentorship from someone like him. He seemed like a nice guy when we talked during that event but I am not sure how it would come across as mentioned reaching out after a few years and he's not even going to remember me or our interaction.

I have around 1,000 connections on LinkedIn, but anytime I create a post almost nobody sees them - between 100 and 150 impressions after a week. Some - but not all - are related to a new product I've built relevant to my connections, some have a link in the main body, some in the first comment after, and some have no link at all. I paid for Premium for a while, made no difference. in the visibility of my posts.

Is this true for everyone? Is there a solution?

I've spent a couple years ghostwriting LinkedIn for founders in unsexy niches, manufacturing software, lean/CI, industrial SaaS. Most creators avoid this stuff. It's actually the easiest place to stand out, because so few people write well for it.

A few things that have worked, if useful to anyone here in technical/B2B:

• Write in the actual language of the industry. Gemba, Kaizen, OEE, downtime, if you sound like a marketer who's never seen a factory, technical founders tune out instantly. This is most of the battle.
• Ignore follower count, look at who's in the audience. LinkedIn shows you the companies your engaged followers work at. When I found the right buyers were already there, I started writing for them specifically instead of chasing broad reach.
• Consistency beats virality. Posting solid stuff weekly did more than any single post that popped off.

That approach has pulled real numbers (one page hit 1.8M+ impressions last quarter, reaching a mostly Fortune 500 manufacturing audience), but honestly the principles matter more than the metrics.

Happy to answer questions on writing for technical niches, LinkedIn growth, or ghostwriting if anyone's working in this space.

Years ago it used to be a real professional networking platform.

Now it just seems like a cheap crack den that nobody can wean off, but the cost of the crack is crazy to be a user!!

There needs to be some REAL disruptors out there who need to build an alternative or are there any already trying?

How do I use Linkedin to get better clients for video editing? Can anyone just brief it?

I have it optimized with around 1000+ followers/ connection.

It's been 2 month since they "security locked" my account, my national id is from georgia which IS a valid country but persona simply doesn't want to do it, get this when i submit for help the site has probobly locked my ip addres for "security" reasons and pops out an error... None of the customare emails work, i have 0 followers on x so naturaly they respond to people who posted 2 mins ago but ignore my 5 posts spaning 5 weeks, to accses inner support you need to log in which is the MAIN issue here.. i've tried everything, im so tired can anyone give me tips? Never in my life have I been so frustrated...

Iam getting bombarded with I'll optimize your profile dms ranging from $99 to $1500. Some have testimonials that look real, most look like the same web template. Before I light my money on fire: has anyone paid for one of these and gotten measurable results (recruiter inmails and all? or is this a diy-with-free-tools situation?

hey everyone just wondering what ai tools you guys are using to make linkedin content especially carousels and stuff

looking for some good ones to try!

After the entry of ChatGPT my feed has been flooded with posts that sound great with ehyming punchlines and excellent frameworks for everything. Same structure and transitions for most of them, but only the industry changes.

I read that linkedIn is now blocking hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts every day. When everyone automates every action, the only differentiation left is originality

But, linkedIn's -Seems like AI slop- will matter only if it rewards authenticity over frequency.

I got tired of generic LinkedIn advice that never comes with properly cited data, so we pulled 130,000 posts from 2,500 profiles (July 2025 to July 2026) and tested the most repeated rules. Every comparison is the same person against their own posts, because comparing different people measures the people, not the tactic. The study we did put to bed, most of commonly cited "tactics"...

Only three things survived:

1. Put an image on it. +33% engagement vs the same person's text posts. A screenshot or a phone photo is enough. Simple, but It's the biggest lever we found.
2. Start with "I", "my" or "we" and say what happened. +20%, and it held in every format. "I rewrote my profile last month and inbound doubled" beats "You need to stop treating your profile like a CV". Same message. One sounds like a person.
3. Post 3-4 times a week and judge the week, not the post. Each post earns less, the week earns roughly triple. Most people quit right when it's working because they're watching the per-post number.

Things you shouldn't be doing:

• Hashtags. One or two do nothing at all. Three or more costs about 7%. I'd been adding them for years. (Why do they hurt? The data shows that they do, not why. My guess is they make a post read like broadcast content instead of a person talking.)
• Ending with a question. The typical question-ending post gains zero extra comments and loses about 10% of reactions. We tested 5,494 of them hoping this one would survive. It didn't.
• Opening with a question. Worst opener we measured, -15%.
• "Unpopular opinion:" openers. Coin flip.
• Chasing posting times. Same person, weekend vs weekday: about 2% difference. The scheduling blogs each publish a different "best time" anyway, which tells you everything.
• Counting characters. No ideal length exists in the data.
• Switching formats to feed the algorithm. Slightly worse than sticking with what works.
• Polls. Down 58%. Smaller sample, but nothing in the data recommends them.
• Reality check while you're here: the median B2B post gets 34 reactions and 3-4 comments. At 5-10k followers, 27 is normal. Ten comments is a great post. Benchmark against people your size, not influencers.

Things we could NOT test, so you don't have to ask: link-in-first-comment (comment threads aren't in the data), impressions (nobody outside LinkedIn can see those), best hour of day. Anyone giving you exact numbers on those is guessing.

And yes, I've changed how I post since running this. Images on everything, hashtags gone, and I stopped bolting an engagement question onto the end of every post. Which is why there isn't one at the end of this one. Apparently it wouldn't help.

If you want the full study with the charts and methodology, say so below and I'll drop the link in a comment.

I have a single name and no separate first/last name. LinkedIn requires me to enter both a first name and last name when creating/updating my profile.

What is the correct way to set up a LinkedIn profile if you legally have only one name? Has anyone with a single name successfully created and verified their LinkedIn account? Please share what worked for you.

my linkedin acocunt for temporarily restricted for no reason but it was only 2 days old should i make a new one or do something else
