Why Your Pinned Post Matters
Stop Wasting Prime Real Estate on Dead Posts from 5 Years Ago. Your Pinned Post Can Make or Break Your Growth. Let's Make it Perfect.
šØ DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR PINNED POST?
You have 1 shot to make a strong impression when someone lands on your profile.
Donāt waste it on:
āŖ a random viral post from 2022
āŖ a thread that no longer reflects your work
āŖ a motivational quote that could be from anyone
If your pinned post doesnāt tell me who you are or why I should follow you, itās doing nothing for you.

š§² YOUR PINNED POST = YOUR INTRO
Because:
ā Itās the first thing a profile visitor sees
ā It shows up on feeds as suggested content
ā Itās your shot to convert lurkers into followers
So what should it actually include?

šØ OKAY BACK TO TOPIC šØ
š§© What to Include in a Perfect Pinned Post:
ā Who you are
ā What you do
ā Why youāre here (what youāre building or sharing)
ā Your vibe or personality (inject you)
ā A pretty pic / video (some kinda image if youāre anon)
ā Optional: CTA to follow, sub, reply, etc.
Make it punchy. Make it you.
Make it so that stranger feels the need to hit the follow because they feel connected to you.
No one should have to to dig through your timeline to āfigure you out.ā
Your pinned post should tell them in 15 seconds flat.
