Showing up on LinkedIn daily demands planning and sustained effort, especially to build a large, engaged audience. Taking time off will not erase previous work or cause algorithmic punishment. Before logging off, post a personal update with a smiling photo and a clear hook like "Personal update" or "See you in a few weeks", and indicate that you will be offline without revealing travel details. Notify key customers via email or WhatsApp. LinkedIn Premium users can set an away message as an autoresponder with start and end dates. Autoresponders and prior communication maintain expectations and help preserve engagement during absence.
Showing up on LinkedIn every single day takes effort. Even when you're speaking directly to one ideal customer profile, using proven templates, commenting like a pro and DMing to a formula, the workload required to do it properly is high. No one with a large (and engaged) LinkedIn engaged audience got there without a plan. This year, you want to take time off.
Just before you log off to go on vacation, send a post. Add a picture of you smiling. Use the hook, "Personal update" or "See you in a few weeks" and explain that you're heading away for some rest, reflection and recovery. You don't need to say you're going away (and for home security, you shouldn't) but signpost that you won't be online. Tell your customers via email or WhatsApp message so they don't find out from social media.
LinkedIn Premium users can share an autoresponder to people who DM them. Click the Messaging icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage on desktop. Click the More icon at the top of your messaging inbox. Select Set away message. Turn on the Away message toggle. Set the Start date and End date. Type your away message in the Message box, and click Save.
