WELCOME! RETURNEES, SCROLL TO THE BLUE LINK.
FIRST TIME HERE?
THERE ARE JUST THREE PREREQUISITES TO COMING TO THE LIPE:
3] You are committing to making comments on at least 15 other participants posts within 36 hours, in return them doing so for you.
How does it all work, especially step 3? The video makes it clear:
If you’re all set and feeling ready, then…
CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT THE FORM FOR THIS ROUND!
FOR THOSE WHO’VE ALREADY WATCHED THE VIDEO, HERE’S THE RECAP OF KEY POINTS:
WHAT’S THIS ABOUT?: Linked-In rewards involvement! So the more comments you get on a post, the more Linked-In shows it to more people. And that’s what you want to see, right? 🙂 We comment on your post in return for you commenting on ours. Win/Win!
BEFORE FILLING THIS OUT:
[1] Create the post on Linked-In that you want us all to comment on. That posting can be text-only, but we recommend you always include either a photo or a video in your posts; studies show people are more likely to read if there’s a visual with it. Also, we recommend at least 100 words; you want people to HAVE to click more to read it all.
[2] Click the three dots on the top-right of that post and choose “Copy Link to Post” You’ll paste that link in the form.
[3] When you go to paste that URL into our form, find the first “?” in it and delete that “?” plus everything after it. For tech reasons I won’t go into here, that helps make LinkedIn want to share your post more.
CUT-OFF TIME: When the cut-off time for participating is reached, everyone who filled out the form will receive an email with the list of all the submissions. Then the game begins! The list will be in alphabetical order so you can easily find yourself.
YOUR COMMITMENT: By filling out the form below, you commit to add a comment of at least 12 words for at LEAST the fifteen names after yours (wrapping back to the top if you reach the end of the list)…
ABOUT THE SUMMARY BLOCK: The reason for the summary block on this form is so that people trying to get through 15 posts don’t have to digest everything. If you post a video, it’s extra important because it’s not fair to expect everyone to watch your video just to do your comment. Give us one or two sentence high level summary of what the post is about so others don’t have to read long posts or watch videos to be able to jump in and make comments.
For example, “This post is about why it’s important to scan all important family photos and make sure someone special keeps them safe in case of fire, flood, etc. and so that you have a copy of every photo before they can fade more.”
Shazam! Simple to get the gist of that post, while the actual post might be 400 words, including a story about a client who didn’t scan her photos and lost everything in a fire.
WHAT MAKES FOR A GOOD COMMENT?: After you click “Like” on the post (which you should always do), ask yourself what additional information you could add? What complementary fact or perspective could you bring, without making it all about you? Or ask a question; that’s great because it gives the poster something to respond to easily. Linked-In notices and rewards such engagement; just saying “This is great” or “Love it” doesn’t count as much as a reply on content.
For example, a good comment on the post above would be: “It’s so easy to neglect the importance of old photos that just feel like they take up space…until the day they get ruined and no one can ever see them again! I agree. Getting them scanned is so valuable to the family.”
GOT IT? Okay, let’s go!!! And you can skip all the instructions that are at the very top that match what’s said here; they’re just there for reference.
