In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains how his approach to posting content on LinkedIn has changed thanks to choosing to be notified every time certain people with large followings post on the platform.

According to Wayne, being notified when these people post:

1. Helps him reverse engineer both successful and unsuccessful posts;

2. Inspires him regarding the substance of his posts;

3. Inspires him regarding the formats of his posts; and

4. Reminds him that not every post, even from LinkedIn "experts,"  is going to be "a banger."
