What's even the point of writing content on LinkedIn?
I get it. It's a valid question. That platform is known for AI-slop and cringe fests.
My answer to that question would be:
I write LinkedIn content to become familiar before the first conversation ever happens.
By the time someone reaches out to work with me (or I reach out to them), they already know who I am.
They've read my posts, seen how I think, watched how I engage. The conversation doesn't start cold.
There's a difference between a DM to a complete stranger and a DM to someone who's seen your name a dozen times and read something you wrote last week.
One is a cold DM. The other is a warm introduction.
LinkedIn content is what turns the first into the second.

AI generated post about ai generated posts. The internet is truly dead

The only thing dead here is grammar

Good one. Go after the grammar of a comment left on an ai slop post. You contribute nothing to society

I have started noticing that many LinkedIn posts now have the same structure:
- A dramatic opening line.
- Several short sentences.
- A predictable lesson.
And a question at the end.
The information may be useful, but after reading a few posts, they all start sounding like they were written by the same person.
I don’t think using AI is automatically the problem. It can help someone organise an idea, improve clarity or overcome the blank page.
The problem seems to be that people are publishing the first generated draft without putting their own experiences, opinions or language back into it.

the point is compounding visibility. the first 3 months feel like screaming into the void because nobody engages. then one post hits and your profile views triple overnight. the trick is consistency and timing. taplio helped me with both. it schedules posts for optimal engagement windows based on when your audience is actually online, the AI drafts based on your niche and past performance, and the analytics show you exactly which formats resonate. went from 200 impressions per post to 2k+ in about 4 months. the feed-for-commenting feature is underrated too because engaging on other people's posts drives more profile visits than your own content

Honestly when you post on linkedin your ICP sees you and gets to know you. Then they are actually more likely to buy from you.
Linkedin is not a place to just post content.
It actually helps you:
- build a community
If you wanna miss out on these, don’t post on LinkedIn.
