Target audience not engaging with your posts? Your content is going NOWHERE

In this week’s episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Darren is back on the warpath - and this time, he’s tearing into LinkedIn engagement pods.

You know the ones. A WhatsApp group full of business owners who’ve all agreed to like and comment on each other’s LinkedIn posts, regardless of what they say - because that’s what “boosts the algorithm”, right?

Wrong. So wrong.

In this episode, Darren explains how LinkedIn knows exactly what you’re doing, why pods lead to engagement from the wrong people, how it actually HURTS your credibility and what to do instead if you actually want visibility... and those all-important leads.

Stop trying to play the system. It doesn't work.
