-
Essential Columns:
- Creators: Profile URL, Name, Title, Description, Followers.
- Posts: Text Post, Creator (linked to the Creators table), Likes, Comments, Shares, Post Date, Post Link.
2. Identifying Your LinkedIn All-Stars 🌟
Start by identifying 5-10 influential figures in your niche. These are the creators whose content consistently generates buzz.
- Head to their LinkedIn profiles and copy their profile URLs.
- Paste these URLs into the “Profile URL” column of your “Creators” table in Airtable.
