¿Vale la pena publicar en LinkedIn? (Respuesta respaldada por datos)

Let's do some math.

If you're wondering whether posting on LinkedIn is worth your time, you need to look at both sides of the equation: the cost (in time and money) and the potential return.

The Real Cost of LinkedIn Posting

Here's what a typical LinkedIn posting schedule looks like:

Traditional Approach (Without a System)

• Thinking about what to post: 45 mins/day

• Writing and editing: 30 mins/day

• Responding to comments: 15 mins/day

• Total: 7.5 hours/week

That's nearly a full workday spent on LinkedIn content.

Calculate Your Current LinkedIn Time Investment

Let's put a dollar value on this time:

If you charge $150/hour:

• Weekly time cost: $1,125 (7.5 hours × $150)

• Monthly time cost: $4,500

• Yearly time cost: $54,000

Even at a more modest $75/hour:

• Weekly time cost: $562.50

• Monthly time cost: $2,250

• Yearly time cost: $27,000

Is It Worth the Investment?

The answer depends on your results. Here's what successful LinkedIn posters are achieving:

Typical Results from Consistent Posting:

• 2-3 quality leads per week

• 1-2 partnership opportunities per month

• Enhanced brand recognition

• Increased speaking/media opportunities

One high-ticket client can often cover your entire year's time investment.

Making LinkedIn Posting Worth Your Time

The key isn't to stop posting – it's to make posting more efficient. Here's what a streamlined approach looks like:

Systematic Approach:

• Batch content creation: 1 hour/week

• Daily engagement: 15 mins/day

• Total: 2.25 hours/week

This reduces your time investment by 70%.

New Time Cost ($150/hour rate):

• Weekly: $337.50 (versus $1,125)

• Monthly: $1,350 (versus $4,500)

• Yearly: $16,200 (versus $54,000)

Real Results from Systematic Posting

Our data shows that systematic posters achieve:

• 2 veces más visitas al perfil

• 3x higher engagement rates

• 5 veces más mensajes directos

• Consistent lead flow

And they're doing it in less than a third of the time.
