have you noticed a lot of polls popping
up on linkedin recently
have you been wondering why so many
people seem to be creating this type of
content and what are the actual benefits
of it
if so you are in the right place because
in this video i'm going to share my top
three linkedin pull secrets
i'm bendy and i'm all about helping
coaches and course creators attract the
highest quality inbound leads on
linkedin without the need for code
selling now if you have been thinking
about using linkedin in your marketing
this year be sure you subscribe to my
channel and hit that bell to be notified
every time i release a new video
so chances are that you have noticed a
massive increase of polls in your news
feed these days and you might be
wondering why
why is everyone creating polls on
linkedin
the answer is actually quite simple
the updated linkedin algorithm is
pushing polls extra hard right now
placing it in front of thousands upon
thousands of people on linkedin
my latest poll for example got over 28
000 views in only 24 hours and if you
ask me that's pretty crazy
so because the algorithm is giving
paul's so much exposure
many people have jumped on the bandwagon
and they're creating polls every single
week that's why your newsfeed is most
probably flooded with polls these days
you might be wondering how does asking
someone what time they wake up in the
morning can actually help you grow your
business and get more clients
now that right there is an excellent
question
if you have watched my previous videos
you probably already know that i'm not a
fan of cold outreach my linkedin
strategy is 100 focused on inbound leads
in other words i want clients to be
coming to me rather than having to chase
after them
so when you think about linkedin from
this perspective content is what drives
clients to you
the more views you get on your posts the
more people will actually reach out to
you asking about your services it is as
simple as that
even though this particular poll was not
about my business
my profile views soared because of it
people sending me connection invites
sword and people reaching out to me in
the dms and asking me about my linkedin
bootcamp also sword so you can see now
how posts can get very very powerful
because you get so much exposure coming
to your profile now without any further
ado let me share my top three tips for
creating super compelling polls
tip number one
ask simple questions
if you want to get a lot of engagement
on your polls you need to ask questions
that most people can actually contribute
on
so i really recommend that you keep your
question short ideally just one line
long and ask something that your
industry and wider community can easily
answer because again for you to get
those votes in and for you to get that
engagement people need to understand
what exactly you have asked them and be
able to contribute tip number two
provide multiple answers
now superstar you want your poll to take
up as much space within the news feed as
possible and this is why you definitely
want to provide at least three if not
all four possible answers for people to
vote on because this way your poll will
again take up more space and it's going
to be more captivating for people to
stop and engage with it
tip number three use emojis
now i am an emoji girl from head to toe
and i highly highly recommend that you
add emojis at the end of your answers to
really bring more attention to your poll
and make sure people notice it as
they're scrolling through their feed
because again it is all about grabbing
people's attention and i promise you
that having emojis in your poll is going
to look a lot more compelling and a lot
more intriguing than a poll that has no
emojis whatsoever so you know what to do
all right superstar so let me show you
exactly how you can create a poll on
linkedin now first thing you want to
open up your linkedin profile and then
we're going to click start a post right
we're going to click over here and then
one of the options you're going to see
is a poll so we create over here and the
first thing we have to enter is your
question now i'm going to go to my asana
board and pull this question over here
do you use emojis in your linkedin posts
that is going to be my question and then
this is where you enter the answers
right so again i'm going back over here
pulling the first answer which is this
one
putting that in and that is actually a
bit too long so let's remove one
um yeah exclamation mark then let's pull
the next one
put that over here again too long uh
so i'm gonna do this
um then i click add another option so
option three because again we want to
take up as much space as possible right
in the newsfeed
so option three is going to be this um
so maybe i'm gonna change two sometimes
when necessary
and then
the last option i typically have let me
know because i want to encourage people
to actually leave a comment as well
so now that we have all the four options
available you're gonna click click uh
done or if you want to change the poll
duration but i always leave it to be out
for a week and then i click done over
here
and there you have it you can see the
poll over here so do you use emojis in
your leading posts no way so
unprofessional yeah i love emojis
sometimes when necessary let me know
okay and then all i would do is click
post and then that post would be live
all right so nice and simple and
creating pull posts literally takes
about five minutes of your day but the
exposure you're getting is remarkable so
i highly recommend that you start using
polls in your content every single week
there you have it superstar that is how
you create super compelling polls on
linkedin

are hanging out on linkedin and you want
help getting in front of them and
