A gimmick is a novel device or idea designed primarily to attract attention or increase appeal, often with little intrinsic value. When applied to retail marketing, it is a unique or quirky feature designed to make a product or service "stand out" from its competitors.

Founder & CEO at Gallantium | Helping employers to prevent poor mental health in the workplace.These are of course all true, and ultimately the result of poor leadership and management. One of the main problems is that people are often promoted into management positions due to performing well at their core skills. This does not necessarily mean they'll be good managers which is another, often very different skill. On average it takes 10 years before newly promoted managers receive proper management training, and in the meantime... well they might easily be the ones leavers are escaping from.

"10 steps to blow up on LinkedIn."
"The pain-free way to get 1000 followers in 30 days."
"How to write content that gets 1000 likes every time!"
"How to become a certified LinkedIn Influencer!"
Listen, I'm not hating on any of these types of content but when I do click through to check out most of these, you know what I find?
Short-term tactics.
I've been writing online since 2015. On LinkedIn since 2019.
Most people who still have businesses or careers thanks to their online writing don't use short-term tactics.
Even if they do sometimes use "viral" tactics, behind that are "boring" plans and strategies that get them actual results -
more sales
more referrals
more invitations for paid speaking
more inquiries about working with you
more recruiters who think you might be a fit for the role they need to fill, etc.
Play the game that drives the results you want.
It's more sustainable and you will be a happier camper using LinkedIn.
I hope your Saturday is going well.

"How to write content that gets 1000 likes every time!"
It's easy:
Sharpen your thoughts and put it into a story. Choose words precisely. Make it snappy. Make it relatable. Make it deep and thought-provoking. Make it informative. Make it condensed.
This is it

It takes consistency and time to get to know your audience. After that, you have to write what matters to them. You can’t gimmick this other than learning how to provide value to your network.
