Today: ​Learn how to build a community.

LinkedIn is all about connecting. It's about building relationships.

Through your content, you can build a group of engaged individuals. Everything you've learned so far will help you do that. As you continue you'll notice similar people come back to your post time after time.

They are not only in your network but a part of your community. Treat them as such and give appreciation, engage with them whenever possible and continue to develop those relationships.

Building a community is a two-way street. As you become more successful here, you'll notice people starting to naturally gravitate toward you. However, that doesn't mean you should slow down or forget about reaching out to and engaging with other users.

There were many people along the way that may have helped you get to where you are now. It's your time to give back and help others along as well. Engaging with other users content reflects positively on your personal brand and will help attract more people to your channel.

Don't be afraid to venture outside of your circle.

Your community will be defined by your niche. Find out what kind of content they respond to best within that niche subject and continue producing it. Ask for their feedback and listen to their input. Sometimes an outside perspective is what you really need to find the right recipe.
