How to Drive Traffic to Your Blogs Posts Using LinkedIn (60,000 Website Visitors Per Month!)

Want to learn how I drive over 60,000 website visitors each month from LinkedIn? Check out this new video! You have a blog, you're writing all these pieces of content, but you know what? No one's going to read it, why? Because you're not doing what I'm about to teach you right now. This video will help you with LinkedIn lead generation Hey, everyone, I'm Neil Patel, and today, I'm going to share with you how to generate more blog traffic using Linkedin marketing. Linkedin is one of the best social networks out there, especially if you're in the B to B niche. Linkedin's way better than Facebook and Twitter for B to B, it has your ideal customers on there. And you're not getting them, you may get some visitors to your blog but they're probably not converting into customers, and that is because you're not leveraging Linkedin. Use this LinkedIn training to get more traffic to your website. #1 The first thing you need to do is connect with other people within your space on Linkedin. I'm a marketer, if you look at most of my connections, they're business owners and marketers. That means they're my potential customers or they're within my field, and they can promote it to other people who are following them. And the cool part about Linkedin is, you can have up to 30,000 connections. Once you hit 30,000 connections like me, sadly they cap you off. If it were up to me, I would say that they should just make it unlimited because I want more traffic from Linkedin, but for now, 30,000's enough. #2 So now that you've got thousands of followers, what you want to do is the second step, is post your content on Linkedin. See if you just click the share icon within your blog post, like on the Neil Patel blog, in my sidebar, where as you're scrolling, you'll see Linkedin social sharing icons, and if you click that, it doesn't help me generate that much traffic. But, what does help me generate way more traffic is when I take my content, put it on Linkedin, and only put the first few paragraph on Linkedin and then have a click to continue reading the link. By having that, I'm getting thousands of visitors from Linkedin per day right now, isn't that crazy? Before, I wasn't even getting more than a few thousand visitors from Linkedin, and now I'm getting over a thousand visitors a day it's that big of a difference. All I'm doing is just putting the first few paragraphs and then putting "click to continue reading" and that drives people to my website. #3 Have the Linkedin social sharing button on your blogpost. #4 And last but not least, when you're sending out your email blast, put it in a PS at the bottom of your email and ask them to share it on Linkedin. Combine all those strategies, you will get more traffic from Linkedin, and better yet, you'll get more leads and sales, because Linkedin as some of the best traffic out there especially if you're in the B to B niche. ► If you need help growing your business check out my ad agency Neil Patel Digital https://npdigital.com/ ►Subscribe: https://goo.gl/ScRTwc to learn more secret SEO tips. ►Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neilkpatel/ ►On Instagram: https://instagram.com/neilpatel/ #NeilPatel #linkedinmarketing #leadgeneration

Short and sweet, to the point. Thanks Neil.

@freshmindideas3222

Good one, I'm doing the blog posting stuff :) I guess I read about it before from ur blog! Thanks Neil...

@naveenreddy1993

Neil Patel videos are always short, sweet ,simple and informative.

@samueldhinakar5477

Sharing everything you know makes you master. Thank you sir 🙏🏻❤️

@darrentaylordigital

I've really got into LinkedIn lately. As you say, using LinkedIn to hook people initially with a "continue reading" link is a great tactic.

@irp-politics

Thanks Neil! This is new for me. great tips. cheers.

@matthewj23

Hey Neil great post with the "click here to continue" where exactly are you posting your content at in groups or where? Id like to try this method.

@larrymeyers532

Just saw your video, I know it's been a while but in case you still check this one I was wondering about the adding the first few paragraphs of a blog post from main website on linkedin with a read more link. Would that be considered duplicate content by google, do you know how much or how many words are allowed before it is? Thanks.

@NatheRose

Is it possible to setup LinkedIn to automatically post your blog posts, like a connected RSS feed? My Amazon author page allows this, and so does Goodreads. Taking every blog post and manually copying it into LinkedIn is something that I would prefer to automate.

@itsuilsonsouza9617

This goes for product site too thanks for the tips

@paulvalenzuela9452

Hey Neil, I love your content and am a huge fan. I see that this post is 5 years old, does this tactic still work on LinkedIn? Do I create the hyperlink in my writing software and copy and paste it to the post? I do not see a native hyperlink button. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us

@kevinra3748

I love all the comments that I'm seeing here, because they all point towards content being king. I agree with you that if you have a blog that you trying to promote you should always focus on the messaging and the quality of the material that you putting out. I would also go a step further and say that company blogs should also dovetail with their marketing departments to ensure that personalised content is promoted. Things like loyalty videos from companies like Treepodia are incredibly important. You can boost your return on investment, boost stickiness on your site, and create a product that appears to be tailored to the end-user. That's what it's all about.

@saadalikhan5531

Great Vid #NeilSIR. Nice tips have been given by you. I will use all of it for sure (y) #ThanksForSharing :)...

@oceanluna2011

hi Neil Patel, I have a question now! I settled on the LinkedIn newsletter weekly, and I wrote 3 articles on LinkedIn, does it mean all 3 articles become a newsletter? recently LinkedIn restricted my LinkedIn account to post articles.

@lagunter3

Neil - First, love the quality of just about everything you post! This is a new journey for me and you're a huge help with getting started. Regarding this video, is this still a relevant strategy? If yes are you doing this under a post or article?

@kaysaysso

Hi Neil, thanks for another great video. I'm wondering, aside from the technical changes to the Linked In interface, would you still say process is still good practice in 2023?

@Foxygrandpa2131

Can you do a piece on getting LinkedIn connections?

@oneplusblog9441

Best video good advise

@estesting1416

Does "click to continue reading" tip still work for LinkedIn?

@shahriarminaee1372

You won a new sub mate. What if i have a dating/ relationship website? Does linkedin still work well?
