    Ilise Benun is just full of great stuff! I recently found this podcast and have loved EVERY single one! I just listened to the episode, "10 Minutes a Day on LinkedIn" and loved the WHOLE thing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

544: The Only LinkedIn Move That Matters with Lynnaire Johnston
Q: What is the single most important change on LinkedIn in 2026?
The shift from posting as the primary visibility tactic to engagement as the key strategy, with a holistic approach that considers posting, commenting, direct messaging, and profile activity as an interconnected system.
544: The Only LinkedIn Move That Matters with Lynnaire Johnston
Q: If listeners can only do one thing on LinkedIn, what should it be?
If you can only do one thing, start by consistently commenting on other people's posts; a few minutes each day is more impactful than a single large post, and consistency helps you stay visible to your network.
544: The Only LinkedIn Move That Matters with Lynnaire Johnston
Q: And how would you define engagement?
Engagement includes commenting, asking relevant questions, sharing personal experiences related to the topic, and showing credibility and expertise through authentic interactions, not just posting; it's about making meaningful contributions that start conversations and build relationships.
547: Ann Handley on How to Write Ridiculously Good Email News-"letters"
Q: How should someone start shaping their first newsletter and what practical steps help overcome fears about writing?
Start by speaking your ideas aloud, then record and transcribe, edit for clarity, and use tools to polish. Focus on delivering value to the reader and finding your authentic voice rather than chasing perfection.
547: Ann Handley on How to Write Ridiculously Good Email News-"letters"
Q: So what is the core idea behind Everybody Writes and how can listeners apply it to their own email newsletters?
The core idea is that everyone is a writer in the age of digital communication; with the right mindset, anyone can write better by focusing on clear communication, then refining through editing and shaping their voice for their audience.
