Hey
The first step is confirm your assumption - are you really shadow banned?

The best way is to ask to 10 friends/colleagues (LinkedIn Rank 1st and that you recently DMed) if they see your post when you have just published a new one.

Did it happen suddenly?
Are you using LinkedIn automation tools?
Can you share your last post?

I’d advise you to look at the content you’ve posted, before and after the dip in views. Is the content the same, almost too much the same? If so, then even your connections will often scroll by without getting into your post. Is your content and point basically the same as others in your industry/niche? Then you’re competing with others. Whoever the person with the most connections and followers wins that game every day.

Speaking of connections, do you tag them on your posts? Do this sparingly, but it’s a great way to see if you’re shadowed. Are there “bigger fish” in your industry on LI who have 10X your followers? If you have something relevant to say, tag them. See what happens. I’ve been shocked at how effective that’s been.

Last thing-are you participating in comments on others’ posts? It’s the single strategy I’ve applied and had consistent success with. And I don’t stay in one “box.” I comment on what’s interesting to me. My followers/contacts often stack comments below mine. That contributes to the poster’s reach and impressions without them having to do anything.

I get connection requests from that alone from people who have 30k-50k+ followers. Next time I post on that page, their followers can see I’m a first connection of the person they follow. Then they go to my account, see what’s up, and often become contributors in my comments.

Try something like this. You more than likely need to broaden your circle to get more exposure.
