Get the Most From Following
Following all of these pages at once would flood your feed, so here's a practical approach. Pick eight to twelve pages that align with your role and goals: a few big platforms for tool-specific updates, a couple of media brands for industry news, one or two agencies for creative inspiration, and three to four hidden gems for fresh thinking. LinkedIn's algorithm will surface the most engaging content from pages you interact with, so actively like, comment on, and share posts from the pages that resonate — this trains your feed to show you more of what matters.
The pages that consistently deliver the most value aren't always the ones with the largest follower counts. Some of the best content on this list comes from pages with smaller audiences — Copyblogger, SparkToro, Exit Five, Really Good Emails, and Everyone Hates Marketers all punch far above their weight. Start with a few, engage genuinely, and let your LinkedIn feed become the free marketing education it's capable of being.
