⚡️PYP: The results of my LinkedIn experiment



Hey Reader,

First off...I am SO sorry for abandoning you for a week. I was going to send this email last Sunday. I had a few adjustments i needed to make and hten planned to send it while flying from Portland (where I live) to NYC.

But my water bottle exploded on the flight and when I went to pull my laptop out of my backpack it was sitting in a puddle...and no longer worked.

So it's been a whole mess of getting everything back up and running!

Okay, back to the point of our email :)

I've been running a little LinkedIn experiment.

I've been sharing videos with every single post for the last 9 days or so.

Here are my results from the first 7 days:

  • 96% increase in impressions
  • 40% increase in engagements
  • 113% increase in shares
  • 244% increase in followers (this image doesn't show the stat clearly. I gained 281 followers during this experiment, compared to 115 the previous week)

Pretty astounding results, huh?

I also shared more context into how I did it and the ahas that resulted.

I think there are a few important things to note here:

Reaching a new audience

I noticed a lot of comments and engagement from people I don't normally see responding to my content. That feels like a huge win.

More calls booked and DMs sent

I consistently get calls booked and DMs sent, but the videos definitely increased that, especially from people whose names I didn't recognize. And nearly every single one mentioned a specific video.

Not everyone watches the video

LinkedIn's aggregated video analytics aren't great, but you can look at the analytics for each post, and it's clear that only about 50% of the people seeing my post actually watch the video.

So it's essential to have written content that can stand on its own and use the video to go deeper into the topic.

If you're regularly on the platform, you might have heard the rumors that LinkedIn is actively building a video-only news feed for its mobile app.

I think LinkedIn is interested in capturing some of the audience and attention currently devoted to TikTok and Instagram, so they're pushing video.

My recommendation? Now is a phenomenal time to start trying video content.

I'll be continuing to make video a core part of my strategy and I'll be sharing more advice on how you can also.

In love and growth,
Kasey

Annual review and goal setting

Hey Reader, If you’re like me, you find the idea of a new year ahead motivating but also intimidating and maybe even a little exhausting. Especially if you’ve got an onslaught of family events and obligations ahead. But a little reflection and planning can change the trajectory of your life and business. I know that sounds dramatic, but it’s true. I learned this first hand in 2024. Last year, my husband and I visited my family for the holidays. It was kind of awful. We both got sick, couldn’t...

Hey Reader, For a long time, I felt filled with shame that I would set goals and never meet them. I assumed it was a sign that something was wrong with me. That I was lazy That I was a failure That I would always struggle It took me a long time to realize my lack of success had nothing to do with my inherent worth as a person… And everything to do with the fact that I never learned HOW to work toward my goals. At least not in a way that worked for me. I’m one of the many people who didn’t get...

3 pillars of a freedom based business

Hey Reader, If you’re at all like me (and I’m pretty damn sure you are), a huge part of the appeal of entrepreneurship is the promise of freedom. Freedom to spend money on people, experiences and things that interest you. Freedom to work with clients who appreciate you and you feel honored to serve. Freedom to spend your time on work that lights you up. But if you’re anything like I was for the first 6 years of my entrepreneurial journey, freedom was elusive. A far-off idea that you knew was...
