Operator notes on LinkedIn, AI content, and getting known.
Real numbers from a founder running the system he describes. No recycled tips, no listicles of listicles. If a post makes a claim, it shows the math or names the source.

LinkedIn About section examples, written for the person who already clicked
Nobody reads your About section by accident. They liked a post, clicked your name, and now they're deciding whether you're worth following. Here's how I'd write it, with examples for founders, executives and consultants.
How to schedule LinkedIn posts, and where your scheduled posts actually go
The how-to takes two minutes. The harder question is why you are scheduling in the first place, and what a scheduler can and cannot do for your consistency.
Employee advocacy on LinkedIn works when you stop handing people scripts
Most employee advocacy programs produce a wave of reshared press releases that nobody reads. I was the most active LinkedIn account at my last company, with no program and no script. Here is what actually gets employees posting, and what the software can and can't do.
Does LinkedIn show who views your profile? Yes. The bigger story is who never shows up.
The mechanics are simple: LinkedIn tells people you looked unless you switch to private mode. The interesting part is what profile views say about the audience that reads everything and never clicks like.
Where do saved posts go on LinkedIn, and what to do with them
Your saved posts live in one place on LinkedIn, and it takes ten seconds to find. The more useful question is what that list, and your own save count, can tell you about what to write next.
LinkedIn Post Inspector: how to fix a broken link preview, and why the link matters less than you think
I put three routes to my launch link on LinkedIn and a friend still asked me where the link was. Here is how to make sure your preview works, using Post Inspector, and what I changed about how I use links at all.
LinkedIn headline examples: 30 lines that turn a profile visit into a follow
Your headline is the one line people read before they decide whether you're worth following. Here are examples by role, the formula behind them, and the positioning mistake that quietly breaks everything else.
Your LinkedIn Social Selling Index is a mirror of your habits. Here's how to read it.
A customer sent me a screenshot I didn't ask for: their SSI went from 45 to 57 in under two weeks. Here is what the score measures, how to check yours, what actually moved it, and why I still don't treat it as a goal.
How to give Claude a LinkedIn skill that actually sounds like you
An agent skill is a folder of instructions Claude reads when the job calls for it. Installing one takes a minute. Making it good takes curation and feedback, and I learned the feedback part from management training.
What are impressions on LinkedIn, and how much should you care?
I've collected more than 4 million LinkedIn impressions in under a year. Here is what the number actually measures, how to judge yours, and why I stopped treating it as the scoreboard.
Grok Bot can work the night shift. Here is what to hand it.
What Grok Bot actually is, which of its headline claims survive comparison, and how to connect Liftli's MCP so a bot works your content overnight.
Repurposing isn't slicing. Clipped long-form almost never lands.
Clipped long-form rarely performs. The fresh-capture method, hook A/B testing, and why repurposing is an operations problem, not a strategy one.
Sometimes LinkedIn won't reach your buyer. Here's what will.
I sell LinkedIn thought leadership, so it would be convenient to pretend everyone worth reaching is here. Some buyers genuinely aren't — and there's still a play, just not the obvious one.
The person who feels the pain can't pay for it. That's the whole problem.
The founder wants the personal brand. Past Series A, the founder has no discretionary budget. The moment they say 'let me loop in my CMO,' start the countdown clock.
Say the damn thing, or don't bother posting
At any moment, 95% of your buyers aren't in the market. Careful, agreeable posts don't nurture them — they don't reach them at all. The case for taking a position you might later have to walk back.
We matched a CEO's voice perfectly. He said it sounded like every CEO on LinkedIn.
Cadence, vocabulary, sentence length — identical to his last 50 posts. And still wrong. The reason is a three-layer problem, and voice is only the first layer.
A LinkedIn content strategy is not a list of topics. It's an intersection.
Most strategies optimize for what performs or for what the founder wants to say. Neither works alone. Here's the 2x2 we built after scraping 63 audience profiles — and the blue-ocean topic it found.
How to get more followers on LinkedIn when your stage is still small
Owning the stage is the goal. But at 1,000 followers the stage is tiny — so you have to borrow bigger ones first. The combination is what compounds, and almost nobody runs both.
AI visibility tools: what they cost, what they measure, and what I chose instead
I priced the AI-visibility stack for my own company and did not buy any of it. Here is the real spread — from $29 a month to $5,000 — and the honest read on when a tracker is worth it.
How to boost a LinkedIn post — and why the Boost button is usually the wrong answer
There are two ways to boost a post: pay LinkedIn to show it to more people, or give the algorithm the signal it actually rewards. One of them compounds. Here is when to use each.
LinkedIn personal branding is not a visibility play. It's the only equity you keep.
Build the brand on the company and you walk into your next venture naked. The case for the founder profile over the company page, with the reach math and the sales-cycle argument nobody makes.
Reddit vs LinkedIn for AI citations: who gets the credit?
Reddit gets cited most, but the credit goes to the subreddit, not you. If you want an AI engine to cite you by name and send a reader to something you own, a LinkedIn article beats both.
The best AI tools for LinkedIn in 2026, and who each is for
There is no single best tool. There is a best tool for how you already work. An honest map of Liftli, Taplio, Stanley, Supergrow, Buffer, AuthoredUp and Typefully, written by someone who builds one and uses the rest.
What to post on LinkedIn: 20 ideas with real examples
The problem is almost never a shortage of ideas. It's getting the good stuff out of your real work and onto the page. Here are 20 post types I use, each with an example and why it works.
How founders actually build thought leadership
Most of what gets called thought leadership is recycled consensus with a headshot on it. Here is what actually separates it, and how founders build it from what they have done.
How the LinkedIn algorithm works in 2026
LinkedIn does not publish its ranking formula. Here is the honest, mechanism-first version: the signals that are observable, what its own engineers have said, and what suppresses reach.
How to grow on X in 2026, without buying followers
X rewards conversation, not broadcasting. Here is the honest growth playbook for a small account: the reply strategy, threads that earn the unroll, and why the labs and builders you want to reach are already here.
What Is GEO? A Founder's Guide to Getting Cited
Generative engine optimization is how you get named inside AI answers instead of just ranking below them. Here's what it actually is, how the engines seem to pick sources, and what nobody knows yet.
Substack vs LinkedIn Newsletter vs Beehiiv: the only comparison that matters is who owns the list
Three platforms, three completely different bargains. One takes a cut of your revenue, one charges you rent, and one gives you an audience you can never take with you.
Commenting is the highest-leverage, lowest-status thing you can do on LinkedIn
A post reaches the audience you already have. A good comment borrows one that is already assembled and already paying attention. That asymmetry is the whole argument.
Building in public in 2 hours a week: my exact system, with real numbers
Voice notes in dead time, an AI pipeline in my voice, a one-tap gate. The full workflow, my real launch funnel (150 → 21 → 8), and the CTA placement mistake that costs founders 10x.
How consultants get recommended by ChatGPT: GEO for your personal brand
Buyers now ask AI who to shortlist. The four surfaces AI checks before recommending a person, and how one LinkedIn comment became a cited source by accident.
LinkedIn ghostwriter cost in 2026: real rates, and the comparison no agency will publish
$500 to $15,000 a month. What each tier actually buys, why perfectly-matched voice still sounds like every CEO, and the honest human vs AI vs DIY table.
Your AI posts sound like AI because of what's missing, not the words
"Humanizers" polish the wrong layer. The specificity deficit: why AI text reads as AI, and how grounding drafts in your real work fixes it.
Your LinkedIn reach dropped. You're (probably) not shadow-banned.
Median reach fell 47% in a year, for nearly everyone. The four honest checks before you blame the algorithm, and what my own sub-200-impression launch hour taught me.
Your LinkedIn posts are now how ChatGPT learns who you are
LinkedIn became the #1 cited source for professional questions in AI search. Your posts, not your profile, are the citable asset. Presence beats virality now.
Voice memos to LinkedIn posts: the complete operator workflow
180 voice notes became a year of content. The exact pipeline from a walk to a published post, including the post that wrote itself.
Does AI content hurt your LinkedIn reach? Yes and no. Here's the mechanism.
An AI-content vendor's honest answer: most AI posts deserve their penalty. The mechanism is behavioral, not a detector, and the AI-generated vs AI-assisted line decides which side you're on.
