In your opinion, do thought-provoking comments increase LinkedIn engagement? 💡

Question

Being too basic on LinkedIn is just that too basic. If that makes sense. Just liking or giving simple comments like “agreed!” and “insightful tips” is not enough to upscale your LinkedIn presence. You have to be authentic and genuine with your responses. ✍️

Do you think well-thought-out comments really help grow your network and boost visibility on LinkedIn?

It should be personal, it should be your opinion, what you think. Doesn't necessarily have to be thought provoking. Just stick to what you genuinely feel or think about the particular post. Can be a different angle of thought, real life examples/anecdotes

Brandon · Answer

Yes, thought-provoking comments can significantly increase LinkedIn engagement. Comments that spark discussion, ask insightful questions, or offer unique perspectives encourage others to interact by liking, replying, or sharing. These types of comments show that you're genuinely engaging with the content and adding value, which can attract more attention to your profile and boost overall engagement. It's about creating meaningful conversations rather than just passive reactions.

Blake Martin · Answer

Absolutely. I see comments as mini-posts with a built-in audience and often a better ROI. For instance, a post on my own might get a couple thousand impressions, but a thoughtful comment on a popular creator's post can get much more visibility—especially if I post early and receive likes, keeping my comment at the top. If their post gets hundreds of thousands of impressions, my comment benefits from that reach.

I've spent an hour writing a post that got 10 likes, but just 3 minutes on a comment that got 60. It's an underutilized strategy on LinkedIn.
