Second, LinkedIn functions basically like a blog now. I post and my followers see. But there's potential for huge network growth there if some people post a like or a repost. I have 650+ followers on my first tier. I checked; my second-tier downline is 980,000. If I post and all of my first-tier followers post a ‘like’ or a ‘comment’ or Share, 980, 000+ people potentially see my post. I find that potential interesting. One of my recent posts was viewed 2,500 times.

Here's the idea, an inner circle of my followers/following list are authors. I'll publish a couple of my posts a week. And I'll use some selected content from my followed authors to supplement my content and make it more interesting. Here's the kicker. I'll ‘like’ or ‘comment on’ significant posts like book launchings, book contests won, podcast interviews, screenplays sold, etc. for my network. My first tier now becomes their followers expanding their visibility and adding to my content. Also, some of my people to whom I'm networked post every day. I’m only going to ‘like’ or ‘comment’ or 'share' significant events and/or particular items that add to my content without overwhelming my feed. I'm already known in my network for promoting other authors almost as much as I promote myself. Now, when I have a significant event, like a book launch, contest win, big interview, etc., the authors that make up my inner core of followers will also (I hope) ‘like’ or ‘comment my significant post on LinkedIn to their first tier thereby expanding my market exposure. It wouldn't be a lot of 'likes' at any one time, but the market expansion might be really significant. Of course, I’ll do the same for them and their significant posts.
