The real reason your LinkedIn isn’t growing (and it’s not the algorithm) Most people think they have a posting problem. But almost every day, I see the same pattern: They’re not struggling with content… They’re struggling with their personal brand. Because here’s the truth: You can post daily. You can comment for hours. You can follow every “growth hack.” …but if your brand is unclear, people will scroll past you every time. Here’s what usually goes wrong: 1. Your headline says nothing. If it sounds like “Helping people grow” → nobody knows what you do. Clarity = conversions. 2. Your visuals don’t tell a story. Blurry headshot. Default banner. Your banner is a billboard: what you do + who you help + your promise. 3. Your About reads like a CV. People connect with: the problem you solve why you care how you help the results you’ve created 4. Your Featured section sells nothing. No case study, no best posts, no offer, no resource. This section should work for you even when you're offline. 5. Your posts lack a hook. Most posts die in the first line. The hook decides whether people stop or scroll. 6. Your comments are generic. “Nice post 🔥” doesn’t build a brand. Perspective does. 7. Your DMs jump from “Hi” → pitch. Trust comes from curiosity, not instant offers. 8. You treat LinkedIn like a feed, not a system. No tracking = no clarity on who’s warm, who to follow up with, or who’s a potential client. That’s why I made the carousel: 👉 10 ways people kill their personal brand + prompts to fix each one. And it’s why I’m building depost.ai to help you stay consistent, write better posts, engage with intent, and track warm leads without juggling 10 tools.

If you’re still chasing likes on LinkedIn… you’re playing the 2023 game in a 2025 feed. I learned this the hard way. I had posts with tons of likes. Even some decent views. But my pipeline? Quiet. Then I noticed a pattern: Some posts with fewer likes kept bringing me DMs. Carousels with average impressions kept resurfacing for weeks. And the same people were coming back to re-read them. That’s when it clicked: LinkedIn didn’t just “change the algorithm.” It changed what it counts as value. Here’s the new scoreboard: Old LinkedIn metrics (what we chased): Likes = reach Views = success “Nice post!” comments = engagement New LinkedIn metrics (what actually boosts you now): Saves > likes If someone saves your post, LinkedIn treats it like a resource worth resurfacing. Re-reads / replays = depth If people go through your carousel twice, that’s a huge quality signal. DMs & private shares = trust When content gets shared in Slack/WhatsApp/DMs, that’s the strongest “value” vote. So the real question isn’t: “How do I get more reactions?” It’s: “How do I make content people don’t want to lose?” Here’s a simple way to write for 2025: Create a “save moment.” Give a checklist, framework, template, or line people want to reuse. Make it re-readable. Short lines. One idea per slide/section. No fluff. Trigger private sharing. Write like you’re helping someone look smart when they forward it. Stop baiting low-effort comments. Ask a real question that makes people think, not type “agree”. The new LinkedIn isn’t about attention. It’s about impact. 👉 Try depost.ai to create, repurpose, schedule, build a targeted feed, engage, and nurture leads all in one place. ♻️ Repost to share these insights with your network. 📌 Tag a creator entering a new market. ➕ Follow me for more strategic insights.

Your content isn’t “underperforming.” It’s being filtered. (New LinkedIn AI feed.) I keep seeing people panic about “LinkedIn’s new AI algorithm.” LinkedIn's AI isn't punishing you, it's ignoring you. Here's how to make it pay attention. So they do the usual: post more chase trends copy a viral hook join a pod pray But if the feed is getting more AI-driven (360Brew-style), the game is simpler: Your post won’t be ranked “globally.” It’s ranked person by person. Meaning: A post can crush… and still feel “dead” to you… because it’s only being shown to the people it’s most relevant to. That’s the shift. What the AI is trying to answer now: “Is this worth showing to this specific user?” Not: “Did it get likes fast?” So here’s what I changed (and it works embarrassingly well): 1) One reader per post I write like I’m talking to one role with one problem. Not “everyone in business.” 2) Concrete nouns, not vague motivation Tools. Roles. Workflows. Outcomes. (If it can’t be underlined, it’s probably fluff.) 3) One post = one job If my post has 4 ideas, it gets 0 traction. If it has 1 clear takeaway, it gets saved + shared. 4) Proof > polish Tiny numbers. Tiny screenshots. Tiny “here’s what I did.” AI can’t argue with reality. 5) Comments are part of the content I reply fast. I ask real follow-ups. Because depth beats vanity. The funny part? This “new algorithm” doesn’t punish small creators. It punishes generic creators. If your content has a clear audience + clear meaning, the AI has an easy job: It knows exactly who to show it to. If your content is vague, it has no clue… so it plays safe and shows it to nobody. Question: what topic do you want LinkedIn to associate your name with this month? P.S. That’s exactly why I use depost.ai daily, its Targeted Feed keeps me engaging with my ICP (not random scrolling), so LinkedIn learns who my content is for… and the right people keep seeing me.

I went through my last 100 LinkedIn connection requests. The ones that got ignored had one thing in common. Not because people were rude. Because my notes were boring. Stuff like: “Hi, I’d like to add you to my network.” or no note at all. Then I’d sit there wondering why nothing moved. Turns out the problem wasn’t “reach”. It was context. The simple rule that changed it People don’t accept strangers. They accept people who show: - context - relevance - a real reason to connect So I gave myself one rule: - Context → Relevance → Reason to connect - 3 short lines. That’s it. What this looks like in real life ❌ Old me: “Hey, would love to add you to my network.” ✅ Now: “Hey Sarah — saw your post on hiring SDRs. Your point about testing cold calls yourself really stuck. I’m building in that space too — would love to connect.” Same person. Same platform. Different outcome. Steal the 3-line note Copy this, tweak it, make it yours: “Hey [Name] — saw your [post/role/project] about [specific thing].” “Really liked [specific detail that proves you actually read it].” “I’m [your role] working on [short context], let’s connect.” You don’t need a script. You just need a reason. How I make this fast (without sounding like a bot) Here’s what I do now: open their profile Depost AI grabs their bio + recent posts it drafts a note in my tone I tweak one line and send Takes a few seconds. Still feels like me. If your requests are getting ignored, try this for a week: → send fewer, more intentional notes → follow the 3-line rule → only connect with people you actually want in your world If you want to see how I’m doing it inside Depost, drop a “NOTE” in the comments and I’ll share the breakdown. And yeah save this so you don’t go back to “Let’s connect 🙂” again. Side note: I’ve also trained depost.ai to generate the best connection note according to the user profile.. And also it help with: Ideas → posts → comments → Warm Leads → Personalized Notes & DMs → follow-up reminder → Win Leads all inside LinkedIn instead of 10 tabs. But even without any tool, if you fix your notes, your results go up. ♻️ Repost to share these insights with your network. 📌 Tag a creator & founder who need this ➕ Follow me for more strategic insights.

By 2026, generic AI content won’t fail because of LinkedIn’s algorithm. It will fail because it all sounds the same. The real problem with AI content tools isn’t quality. It’s memory. Every tool: starts from a blank prompt forgets your past posts ignores what worked for you can’t hold your voice or positioning do not have reference of lastest viral content So even when the writing is “good”… Your content still feels random. And sounds like everyone else. What we built instead We built a memory-based posting system inside Depost AI. Not another AI writer. A content partner that remembers you. It: pulls your past posts references viral posts adapts to your voice learns what worked for you builds content plans around your positioning So when you ask: “What should I post next?” “Write today’s post in my voice?” It doesn’t start from zero.
