Going to keep a running list of garbage growth hacking on LinkedIn.

Up first, "double click this photo if you see a panda".

If there's a picture that needs to be put next to the definition of "click bait" in a dictionary, this is it. 200,000+ people obliged.

More garbage growth hacking on LinkedIn.

Polls on LinkedIn are a thing, but why use something that's far more useful and easier to look at stats for, when you can pull off engagement-bait like this?

Garbage growth hacking continues!

This time, engagement bait under the guise of getting to "know their connections" well. How? Just the industry.

Where do the engineers go? How about people in operations? Or consulting?

Engagement-bait doesn't care!

And some more garbage growth hacking on LinkedIn.

Ask an exceptionally inane and polarising question about a controversial figure, and of course - yell the question in all caps.

Of course, start your post with ALL CAPS and say "BREAKING NEWS" to get attention, because usually your content isn't worth it.

Also, can't tell you how much it annoys me when posts end with "Agree?!" and "What do you think?!" POINTING TO SHOW WHERE THE COMMENT SECTION IS.

If you REALLY want to hire, post a link so people can apply for it. Asking them to "love" your post so that you can then "reach out" via LinkedIn is... inefficient. And probably a lie.

Playing on people's need to get a job to get engagement. Incredible how low some will stoop.
