A lot of law firms and professional services companies are sitting on great content that never really goes anywhere. It’s buried on the blog, sent out in an alert or maybe posted once on LinkedIn, and that’s it. Which is a shame because it could be doing so much more to build visibility, strengthen credibility and spark new opportunities.

There’s no shortage of advice on how to use LinkedIn but knowing what not to do is just as important. After years of helping professionals use LinkedIn more effectively, I’ve seen the good, the bad and everything in between. What surprises me most is how often smart, successful people make small but avoidable mistakes that chip away at their visibility and credibility.

One of the most underrated strategies for long-term success on LinkedIn and in your career is confidence. Not the flashy kind. Not the kind that demands attention. But the steady kind. The kind that comes from believing in your own value, even when the room is quiet. Even when the algorithm is quiet. If you’ve ever felt invisible on LinkedIn, or unsure if your posts matter, this is for you.

In a busy law practice, it’s easy to stay focused on today. The matters on your desk, the filings that need to get done, the client calls that fill your calendar. But the lawyers who consistently build thriving books of business know something others often overlook: relationships take time and the business development pipeline needs constant attention.
