If you’ve ever wondered how frequently you should post on LinkedIn and when your content is most likely to reach the right people, this training breaks it all down.

We explore the power of posting with intentionality and consistency, and how timing your content can boost engagement across time zones.

I share why I post every morning between 7:00 and 7:30 am EST, Monday through Saturday, and how that strategy ensures my audience sees my content, whether they’re in New York, Dallas, or Los Angeles.

Inside this episode, you'll learn:

➡️ The ideal posting frequency to stay visible without burning out

➡️ The best times of day to post for maximum reach

➡️ A proven weekly structure using 3 content formats:

- A vertical short-form video (audio/visual)

- A market research poll to spark interaction

- A high-value text post (newsletter, article, or written post)

Plus, I explain why committing to just three days a week (like Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) can give you enough momentum to grow without feeling overwhelmed, especially when you batch your content ahead using LinkedIn’s built-in scheduling tool.

Whether you're building brand authority, generating leads, or growing a loyal audience, this episode will give you the framework to show up consistently and strategically.
