Thank youuu for writing this. For me, it's like this across all socials I'm currently active on.
I'm constantly in a dilemma—build in private (be mysterious) or build in public (be loud). I've tried to be the mysterious girl because I really want to stay silent and just live life peacefully, but this career I've chosen (Content Marketing) keeps showing me that I can't be mysterious at all. Plus, I enjoy public speaking and yapping about personal growth and development.
I show up, and even my closest peeps might think I love the "public," but honestly, I don't. I just do it because that's what a girl has to do. And on some days, I feel like I'm not made to be mysterious, while other times, I feel like I'm oversharing or sounding arrogant because of how I talk about what I do and how I show up on my social media pages. It's a constant struggle for me, honestly.
This year, I've chosen to be strategically loud while putting in the work, excited to see where it leads me! Again, thank you for writing this.
Awwwn, I totally get it. When I first started, I’d post and quickly delete because I felt weird. Like I was oversharing.
However, the secret is to not take yourself too seriously. LinkedIn at the end of the day is just another social media platform (just more curated for professionals).
Just post as you would on your other social media platforms. Again, people who love your vibe will find you
LinkedIn is a place I needed to force myself to get used to because all that "I just got hired by the biggest brand in the world" kini isn't for me. I like to keep my wins lowkey.
Unfortunately, I gave in to the pressure at a point
This post just gave me an insight on a proper way to use it

Awwwwn, cheers to strategically being loud about what we do!
That career advancement/fulfillment? We will surely get it! 🥂
I totally get this
I post occasionally on LinkedIn and I still feel like I am sharing too much
Recently I even deleted a post immediately I posted it
At this point, I have more posts in my drafts than on my profile

At the risk of sounding like one those LinkedIn people in comments “this very insightful, thank you for sharing “. Lol 😂!
Haha! 😂😂
That’s exactly how they’d comment.
You’re welcome though. I’m glad this newsletter RESONATED with you 😂🤭
I came back to the substack because I felt I didn't know myself well on LinkedIn. I came here to improve my writing.
Seeing this just validates how I felt. It is screaming me😂
Awwwn… Take your time. Be authentically you. Your people will find you.
Also remember: slow growth is still growth
Wishing you all the best ❤️
Warra writeup!
Very informative and practical
LinkedIn is a place I needed to force myself to get used to because all that "I just got hired by the biggest brand in the world" kini isn't for me. I like to keep my wins lowkey.
Unfortunately, I gave in to the pressure at a point
This post just gave me an insight on a proper way to use it
I’m glad it did! Thank you 💯👏🏽
As someone that posts everyday on LinkedIn, I understand you.
I just can’t get used to that platform 😂
Ahn ahnnn… My Madam is sharing secretsssss.. Thank youuuuu😌
You’re welcome and we both know you’re the real madam 😩😩
🙂↔️🙂↔️.. The lies we tell
Also going to share to a friend of mine I was trauma bonding with 😂
I’ve changed my mind and so should she 😌
😂
You absolutely should. I’m glad this was able to change your mind
Seeing this post just when I was about to finally give up on LinkedIn😭
Guess I just have to re-strategize
I’m also so afraid of really putting myself out there but I’m ready to make a leap.
Thanks for sharing this
You’re awesome!
Awww, don’t give up. Like you rightly said, re-strategize, offer value, and stay consistent. That’s it
I really love this ,opened LinkedIn a week back
This is so insightful .
Awww, thank you 🥹❤️
Do the headlines ever get too much?
I'm always scared of that
