Are you starting to put your game plan together for 2019? Is LinkedIn part of that plan? If not, it’s probably because you don’t know exactly what to do each week to get results.

Well, it’s your lucky day. I recently revised and updated my LinkedIn Game Plan for Success: Your One-Hour Weekly Playbook for Results. It’s received rave reviews from my recent audiences, and I know you’re going to love it, too.

Start following these steps this fall so that by the start of 2019 they become part of your weekly routine.

2019 LinkedIn Game Plan for Success

You can download Power Formula for LinkedIn Success 3rd Editionthe full worksheet below, but here’s a quick summary of the weekly process that’s sure to kick-start your business and career in the new year.

Page number references in the worksheet refer to the 3rd Edition of my book The Power Formula for LinkedIn Success. Pick up a copy at your nearby book store or Amazon.com to learn more simple ways to acquire lucrative new customers, land a great new job, and, of course, substantially boost your income.

1. Start by checking out profiles of people you’re considering connecting with, taking specific note of the things they’re posting and sharing.
 Consider mentioning them using the “@” sign before typing in their name when sharing one of their updates. Then be sure to keep an eye on your “Who’s Viewed Your Profile” section to see if they check you out. That would be a good sign.

2. Use a custom invitation and invite ten people in your target audience to join your network. This will take about 15 minutes per week, but strengthening your network is bound to result in more future business.

3. Send a follow-up thank-you note to ten people who have agreed to join your network. This should only take about ten minutes, and it gives you an opportunity to request a meeting or phone call that could lead to new business or lucrative referrals.

4. Engage with your audience. Like, share or comment on status updates, published posts or company page updates made by ten of your most important connections. This, too, should only take about ten minutes, and it’s a great way to stay on the radar of your target audience.

5. Post ten helpful status updates each week. This might take you 20 minutes per week, but it will go a long way toward establishing yourself as a rockstar in your field—and it also gives you an opportunity to promote your products and services.

Use my 6/3/1 rule when making your posts. Six posts can provide useful content from others, three posts should include helpful content from you and your company, and one post can promote your products or services.

You’re now prepared to hit the ground running in the new year and make it your best year ever.
