The 2026 LinkedIn Algorithm (Quick Hit)

I studied two new research reports covering 260,000+ LinkedIn posts — and in this quick-hit episode, I break down exactly what's working on LinkedIn in 2026, specifically for loan officers and mortgage pros who want to get seen, build a personal brand, and attract referral partners.

Just the data, and what to actually do with it.

You'll learn:

✅ Whether links really hurt your reach (the answer surprised me)

✅ The format with an 11X interaction boost most LOs never use

✅ Why horizontal video beats vertical by 36% on LinkedIn

✅ The post length that performs 31% better in 2026

✅ The hashtag habit that drops performance 70%

✅ The 741% rule the top 1% of creators live by

✅ The lead magnet quietly crushing it right now (it's not a PDF)
