How to Build Long-Term Relationships with LinkedIn Thought Leaders
In 2025, credibility is currency — and trust is the real algorithm. We’ve entered an era on LinkedIn where posts fade, trends shift, and engagement spikes come and go — but meaningful relationships compound. And when it comes to influence, those who are quietly building genuine ties with thought leaders today are setting themselves up for unmatched relevance and reach tomorrow. But let’s be clear: this isn’t about transactional networking. This is about co-creating credibility. If you think simply liking posts, dropping emojis in the comments, or sending “love your content” DMs is enough — it’s time to level up. Thought leaders in 2025 are savvy. They know the difference between someone who wants proximity to influence and someone who wants to grow with them.
