Imagine this Scene: Inside a cluttered founder’s desk at a co-working space, a marketing agency guy stands excitedly while the founder sits with a tired smile and a half-drunk chai.
Marketing agency guy: “Sir! We made you get a 400% increase in engagement this week!”
Founder (raising his eyebrows): “Arrey wah! What magic did you do on LinkedIn?”
Marketing agency guy (smiling proudly): “We posted a cat video in your company brand colours”
Founder (stares blankly concealing his disappointment): “Cool. Tell me when that cat signs a purchase order. I will issue your cheque” Marketing agency guy quietly opens his laptop, avoiding eye contact.
When it comes to LinkedIn marketing, many companies act like tourists taking selfies with a signboard—they’re thrilled with the visibility, but have no clue where the road actually leads. Metrics like CTR, Impressions, and Engagement – —they feel good, look great in reports, and impress bosses. But here's the truth: if these numbers aren’t converting into conversations, customers, or cash , it is digital illusion.
Let’s bust some myths—with wit, analogies, and a splash of nostalgia, brought to life through comic-style illustrations straight from your childhood memories
Myth 1: “More Impressions = More Impact”
Analogy:
It’s like handing out 10,000 flyers in a desert. Sure, distribution was wide. But who picked them up? And did they care?
Reality:
Impressions are just visibility. Focus instead on who is seeing your content, not just how many. It’s not how many people see you, but whether the right people notice—and ACT. Niche targeting and message clarity beat mass exposure every time. Niche > Noise.
Myth 2: “High CTR Means We’re Winning”
Analogy:
Think of CTR (Clickthrough Rate) like footfall in a neighborhood showroom. People walked in, sure—but did they stay? Did they ask questions? Did they buy?
Reality:
Clicks don’t count unless they lead to a meaningful action: Track what happens after the click. Measure what happens after the click: demo request, form fill, sign-ups, replies, downloads,
calls booked. That’s where ROI lives.
Myth 3: “Post More, Win More”
Analogy:
Posting daily without strategy is like watering a plant every hour—it won’t grow faster; you’ll just drown it.
Reality:
The algorithm loves consistency, but the audience rewards relevance. One strategic post that triggers conversations will always outperform a week of white noise.
What to Track Instead:
- Inbound leads from decision-makers
- DMs and email replies sparked by content
- Profile visits by target roles
- Community Signals: Content shares, saves, and tagged referrals
- Conversion Journey: First-touch to last-touch journey before a lead converts
- Dark Funnel Metrics: Who’s coming in via DMs, referrals, or indirect content routes?
Trendy Fix: Market Like It’s a DM Conversation
Popular Brands are making a kill by treating LinkedIn not like a newsletter but like a two-way chatroom. They empower team members to tell personal, valuable stories—anchored in data
and insight. The result? Scrolling stops. Minds open. Leads come in warm.
Also, don’t ignore the micro moves:
- Pin a value-loaded post to your profile
- Add a CTA to your cover banner
- Share founder POVs, not just product features
- Use storytelling over selling
- Run poll + comment follow-up sequences for free market research
