Big Question on Niche Selection
I am stalling on niche selection. I pick car detailing. Last 2 weeks I am trying to engage with the Car detailing business who are posting on LinkedIn. But I don't get a single reaction from them on my comment. And the connection request acceptance is almost 0. Which niche actually works on LinkedIn to get good-paying clients? Huge businesses are making mistakes with Google Ads. But they are not responding, as if they don't care about it. @Alex Colhoun Can you please help me out?

car detailing shops are mostly small, local, and not LinkedIn-native, most owners barely check the platform. the low response probably isn't your pitch, it's fishing where the fish aren't. B2B lead-gen tends to convert better into industries where the buyer already spends real time on LinkedIn, agencies, SaaS, consultancies, not local service businesses that mainly run on referrals and Google/Facebook.
What are the limits for linkedin in terms of DM on daily or weekly basis.
Here’s a LinkedIn question designed to encourage people to share their experience: LinkedIn users, I have a genuine question 👇 What is the actual limit on LinkedIn DMs? Is there any daily or weekly limit on: • Sending DMs to 1st-degree connections? • Sending messages through LinkedIn Free? • InMail credits? • Messaging people after connecting? • Sending too many messages in a short period? And the bigger question: 👉 Does LinkedIn have a fixed limit, or does it vary based on account activity, connection strength, acceptance rate, and messaging behaviour? I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who do regular networking, prospecting or business outreach on LinkedIn. What has been your experience?

@Bradford Carlton the verifiable detail is what does the work in your example. anyone can paste "loved your recent post," but naming the exact comment proves you were actually in the thread. that's cheap for them to check and hard to fake at scale.

@Bradford Carlton "flat" is usually a specific pattern once you look closer, not a vibe. AI writing tends to over-explain the obvious, restate your own point back at you before answering it, and lean on symmetrical phrasing like "it's not just X, it's Y." humans skip straight to the opinion. if a message answers before it summarizes, that's usually the tell.
I started on LinkedIn before I was ready. Here's how ⬇️
Alright my friends. When I first started on LinkedIn in 2022/2023, it was brutal. Everything was garbage. My content. DM strategies. Comments. Everything you stress over today after just starting out, I struggled with as well. I had no real system for anything, I was simply guessing what would work / not work. For you however, you don't have to stress over this any more. I did the work for you over the last 3 years. (1) Start before you are ready Most people say this. Almost nobody executes on it. I've launched things that flopped completely. I've posted videos I wasn't confident in. Some of them became my best-performing content. LinkedIn rewards consistency far more than it rewards trying to be perfect at anything. (2) Share the process, not just the results Wins get attention, but the behind-the-scenes content builds trust. How you build your systems. How you structure your week. What actually goes wrong. The process is what turns viewers into followers into buyers. (3) Conversations > Reach Comments and DMs are where you'll land clients. Content attracts them. Conversations close them. Founders who only post and never engage are leaving the most valuable part of the system unused. (4) Content is one pillar, not the whole system Posts, LinkedIn Lives, Newsletters, DMs, and Profile. All five work together. Founders who rely only on content wonder why they have followers but not clients. (5) Use AI for efficiency, not personality AI comments are immediately obvious. AI content is immediately obvious. Use it to save time on automations and research. Don't let it replace the specific, personal perspective that actually builds authority. (6) Launch, measure, adjust Overthinking a post for three days produces the same result as posting it in 30 minutes. Ship it. Look at the data. Refine from there. I'll go over more of this system on Wednesday. RSVP for the Live LinkedIn Growth System Masterclass Here: alexcolhoun.com/masterclass

start before you're ready only works if you accept ready never fully arrives anyway. waiting for the confidence to show up first is usually just waiting for a permission that was never coming

pairing it next to Obama's post is a bold flex either way it lands. was the format similar to his, or was that just for the screenshot comparison?
Why do people never fully read content and still like the post?
While analyzing LinkedIn creators profiles, we repeatedly noticed one thing (this clarity is insane for many) : LinkedIn creators mistakenly think: “High likes = deeply understood content.” - (Drums rolling in the background.) - Big False. Why? Point 1 : Humans naturally evolve to save metal energy, Click on Likes allows us to feel involved while keeping our brains on "low-power mode." without reading whole post. Point 2 : On platforms like LinkedIn, a "Like" is often a strategic tool for visibility and relationship maintenance - a way to say "notice me" rather than "I read this." Point 3 : LinkedIn is built for speed, not for deep understanding of content, so users subconsciously adapt by skimming instead of reading. That changes how you should analyze content performance.

the strategic-like theory checks out. on LinkedIn a like reads more as noticed you than an actual endorsement. my best posts have underperformed on likes but pulled the most DMs, which tells me the metric everyone watches isn't the one that matters
