Getting out on LinkedIn is a goal for so many, but it's hard. What to say? What to write about? What will people think?

I've heard it all and told myself that too.

But those who put themselves out there are the ones getting noticed, known, and seeing opportunities and results on LinkedIn.

After waffling for too long, I decided to "go big" and on January 1, I started the #365challenge to post on LinkedIn every single day in 2021.

And to my surprise, hundreds of others felt the same way and joined me. The #365Challenge community was born, (now The #365Creators). What a journey it's been and still going strong with hundreds more. (see the link to join below).

In this episode, I interview two stars in the community, Michael Scott and Britt Crawford, who watched their personal brands on LinkedIn explode by posting content daily.

Here, 323 posts later, we share our lessons, successes, and failures and how you can "put yourself out there" and build your personal brand on LinkedIn.

UPDATE: On Dec. 31, 2021, I completed my challenge and posted 365 days on LinkedIn. I actually made 532 posts, and will detail more in a future episode)
