Use this when LinkedIn activity is sporadic: a burst of posting, then nothing for a month. It produces a routine short enough to keep and specific enough to measure.

## Inputs

- Target accounts and personas.
- Time available per day.
- Current activity: posts per week, connections, messages, replies.

## The play

### 1. The daily block (30-45 minutes)
| Minutes | Activity | Target |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 5 | Check notifications; reply to comments and messages | Every reply within the day |
| 10 | Comment on 5-8 posts from target buyers and the voices they follow | 5+ thoughtful comments |
| 10 | Send connection requests with notes to today's list | 10-20 requests |
| 10 | First messages to new connections; follow-ups due today | All due messages |
| 5 | Log meetings, replies and anything worth a post | Updated sheet |

### 2. The weekly layer
- 2 posts a week (one practical, one story or opinion).
- Refresh the target list: add 50-100 new people, remove those who declined or went cold.
- 30-minute review on Friday (below).

### 3. Track five numbers
Connection requests sent, acceptance rate, conversations started (replies), meetings booked, and posts published. Followers and impressions are vanity unless the right people are in them.

### 4. Weekly review
| If | Then |
| --- | --- |
| Acceptance under 25% | Tighten targeting or fix the profile and note |
| Accepted but few replies | First message is a pitch; make it a question about their world |
| Replies but no meetings | Bridge to the problem earlier; offer something concrete |
| Posts get likes from peers, not buyers | Write about buyer problems, not your industry gossip |

### 5. Protect the account
Stay well inside invitation and message limits, avoid browser extensions that automate actions in ways the platform prohibits, and keep pending invitations under a few hundred by withdrawing old ones.

## What good looks like

- Done four or five days a week for a quarter, not seven days for two weeks.
- The numbers move: acceptance, conversations and meetings, in that order.
- The common mistake is treating posting as the whole strategy; most meetings come from conversations, which come from connecting and commenting.

## Rules

- MUST keep activity inside safe platform limits.
- MUST review the numbers weekly and change one thing at a time.
- NEVER buy followers, engagement pods or fake engagement.

## Example prompts

- "Build me a 30-minute daily LinkedIn routine. I'm a founder selling to HR leaders."
- "Review my last month of LinkedIn numbers and tell me what to change."
- "Make a tracking sheet for my team's social selling."
