• Consistency Builds Trust – Posting once or twice isn’t enough to see results. Finn McKenty emphasizes that building a presence on platforms like LinkedIn or YouTube takes time and repetition. Whether it’s one video a week or daily text posts, showing up consistently is the key to building credibility and long-term engagement.
  
• Know Your Goal Before You Hit Record – Not all content needs to go viral to be effective. Finn reminds creators to define what success looks like before hitting record. Are you trying to attract leads, share expertise, or build brand awareness? Clear goals help ensure each piece of content serves a specific business purpose.
  
• Quality Over Quantity—Especially on LinkedIn – While big follower counts may impress on other platforms, LinkedIn is all about reaching the right people. Finn stresses that even if a post only gets 25 views, it can be a win if those views come from decision-makers. The value lies in connection, not just volume.
