How to Get More LinkedIn Followers (Profile and Company Page)
Followers on LinkedIn come from posts people save and comments people notice. A step by step routine.
To get more LinkedIn followers, make following your default button, post two or three times a week about one professional topic, and leave detailed comments on posts from people your audience already follows. For a company page, ask employees to share posts and reply to every comment in the first hour.

Should you switch the Connect button to Follow?
Yes, if you post publicly. With Follow as the main button, people can follow your posts without a connection request, which removes friction. Connections still count as followers, so you lose nothing.
What kind of posts grow followers on LinkedIn?
- Lessons from real work: a project, a mistake, a number you learned to watch.
- How-to posts: a short process with steps, ideally something people save.
- Opinions with reasons: a position on an industry debate, backed by experience.
Plain text and document posts (carousels uploaded as PDF) tend to keep attention well. Write the first two lines so they make sense on their own, because that is all people see before "see more".
Do comments really bring followers?
They are one of the most reliable sources. A thoughtful comment under a popular post is read by thousands of people in your field, and each comment shows your headline. Make your headline say what you do and for whom, not just your job title.
How do you grow a LinkedIn company page?
Company pages grow mainly through employees. Invite your team to follow, ask them to reshare launch posts, and use the "notify employees" option sparingly for important updates. Post consistently even when reach is low; pages that go quiet for weeks lose momentum.
When does a follower boost help on LinkedIn?
When the profile or page is what prospects check before replying: consultants sending proposals, startups contacting investors, recruiters building an employer brand. A starting base such as 500 LinkedIn followers makes the posts you already publish look worth reading. All packs are on the LinkedIn followers page, and you can add likes to individual posts.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between connections and followers?
Connections are mutual and capped by LinkedIn; followers only see your posts. Every connection is also a follower, but not every follower is a connection.
How many times a week should I post on LinkedIn?
Two to three good posts a week is a sustainable rhythm for most professionals. Consistency over months matters more than frequency.
Do LinkedIn hashtags still matter?
Much less than before. Clear wording in the post itself does more for discovery than tags.
