So much truth here.

I'd re-post on LinkedIn if the link were part of the post rather than a comment. I think a lot of people would get a lot out of this.

Thanks, Doug. I have read that LinkedIn penalizes post visibility if an external link is included in the post, at least until engagement builds. I just updated the post to include the link and would be honored if you’d share it with your network!

Interesting. I hadn't heard that, but it wouldn't surprise me.

In my own experience, I've been posting for years to promote my own service offerings and writing, including external links to my Cygnus website and Medium.com, and my impressions, etc have climbed steadily.

Anecdotal, sure, but I haven't noticed a penalty for what it's worth.
