EP #001: What is the value of a viral post?

A case study in the business impact of a LinkedIn post that went viral

Hey there - everyone wants to go viral on social media. But what’s the business impact for an executive?

Last month, one of our clients experience a post go viral. Prior to working with Executive Presence, Keziah had 2,866 followers and averaged 19 likes per post.

Here’s what her viral post looks like:

She shared an insight relevant to her business (Chief of Staff solutions for high-growth businesses), never once mentioning her company.

The impact?

  • 3X more leads

  • 720,000+ views of her post

  • +53% increase in followers

The biggest impact was the growth of her pipeline: $450,000 in one-week from a single LinkedIn post.

But the sustaining impact is that her posts are now averaging 139 Likes, 7.3X higher than before her viral post.

What’s the takeaway?

Virality is great. But you can’t guarantee it.

The best way to win the lottery? Buy more tickets. By increasing her frequency of posting from 3X / year to 3X / week, Keziah was able to increase the chances that her posts would strike a chord.

Don’t go for virality.
Go for consistency.
