A little late here, but if you want to get the biggest bang for your buck, you want to work with an agency (one of the ones where you pay for placement). It cost us $6K to get into slot #2. That’s probably what those folks in the top slots are doing right now. The main thing that this buys you is upvotes in APAC and then EMEA so that by the time it’s 7 AM in EST, you’re already in one of the top 5 slots. Also - looks like you’re at 42 upvotes which seems pretty low even for activating your own network. Next time I would suggest a warmup of your entire LI networks at least 1-2 weeks out.
