Srishti Mishra's Linkedin Analytics

I never thought I’d write about a laptop bag. But here we are. For years, I’ve juggled between bags that looked good but felt like a burden and ones that were practical but had zero personality. → The straps were uncomfortable → The designs were too bulky → And somehow, nothing ever felt like the right fit It felt like I was always choosing between form and function. And honestly, I’d made peace with it. Until I came across MIRAGGIO while scrolling through Instagram. I wasn’t expecting much. But then:  → It had thoughtful compartments (yes, even for the tiny things that always get lost) → The padded shoulder strap actually made it comfortable to carry all day.  → The design was clean and understated, and it somehow still stood out → It felt like someone finally designed for how we move through the day I’ve carried it to work, meetings, and cafes, and it’s held up well. It fits what I need, feels comfortable, and doesn’t look out of place anywhere. If you’ve been on the same bag-hunt I was, maybe this is your sign.

Not every client story is a horror story. Some are the reason we’re still in the game. We’re always talking about red flag clients. Bad experiences. Setting boundaries. But sometimes, the best part of this work is the people you get to work with. I’ve been working with a coach from Ireland since Sept 2024. And honestly? She’s been a dream client. Supportive. Kind.  Patient. Someone who trusts the process and trusts me. She just let’s me do my work with respect and clarity. And it makes me want to do even better for her. Push harder. Create more. Show up fully. We talk so much about acquiring new clients… But the real win is working with people who make you better. Not every client drains you. Some remind you why you started. P.S. Do you have a similar client story? Would love to hear it.

Most people think reach comes with followers. It doesn’t. Here’s how you can boost your engagement on LinkedIn: 1. Ask questions ↳ Start conversations in the comments. 2. Optimise length ↳ Do not go beyond 450-550 characters. 3. Create content with mass appeal ↳ Open your content for a wider audience. 4. Make your content relatable ↳ Give them a glimpse of their life in your post. 5. Write a short, catchy hook ↳ Do not go beyond 7-12 words. Re-hook in the 2nd line. 6. Do not underestimate your CTA ↳ Ask questions, and do not end your posts with statements. 7. Level up your formatting game ↳ Ditch long paragraphs. Great copy is fluff-free. Analyse what worked best for you. Review → Repurpose → Repeat. Bonus: Tofu & Mofu content work best for more engagement Fresh ideas with honesty are well received. Share your true personality on LinkedIn. People always appreciate that. P.S. What's your favourite hack for more engagement? P.P.S.

Them in 2023: You write on LinkedIn? That's so cringe. Them now (2025): "Hey, can you help us set up our LinkedIn?" LinkedIn isn't optional anymore. It's a necessity. → Buyers check your profile before buying → Investors review your profile before investing → Recruiters review your experience before hiring It's not about posting for likes anymore. It's about trust, visibility and proof of work. You know what real cringe is? Running a business and having 0 online credibility. You can have a world-class product You can have the best team But if nobody knows you, you're invisible. Period. In 2025, people don't Google your websites first. They search you on LinkedIn first. Founders, investors, entrepreneurs... Your LinkedIn profile is your reputation. Your business actually depends on it in 2025. So it's not a flex to avoid it. It's a liability. Are you changing that today? — Hi, I am Srishti, and I help founders and CXOs build a personal brand on LinkedIn. If you’re a founder who wants to show up better, share your story, and build trust in your industry, DM me or book a call via Calendly.

The Ghibli AI trend is everywhere. Yes, it's just a trend. But also? It’s kind of a wake-up call. → AI is generating art → Writing captions, scripts, even full books → And slowly replacing the process behind creativity. Ghibli was never about visuals alone.  It was about soul. Stillness. Emotion. AI can replicate how it looks. But not why it feels the way it does. Some things just can’t be replaced, no matter how advanced tech gets. For example, an AI-generated LinkedIn post can never fully capture a person’s tone and authenticity... It might be 99% accurate, but something will always feel a little off. (we can tell) Anyway, joining in and treating it just like a trend. Let trends come and go. But let’s not forget the artists behind the original art. What do you think about the Ghibli trend?

The biggest LinkedIn myth? "You need 10k followers to monetise." I made my first $ with just 3000 followers. How? → Right audience > large audience → Targeted content > viral content → Deep connections > surface engagement I didn’t wait to go "viral.” I focused on solving real problems for the "right" audience. That’s what brings in clients. Don’t chase numbers. Instead, build trust. Show why people should invest in you. That’s the real game. P.S. What’s your biggest LinkedIn challenge?

I never had a 9 to 5 job. The only "work experience" I had was teaching for 4 days at a university. When I started my company, I quickly realised: This was a huge disadvantage. - I didn’t understand systems. - I didn’t know how hiring worked. - I had no clue about team management. But I did something that helped me survive (and eventually build something I’m proud of): → I listened. → I asked my friends how things worked in their offices. → I paid attention to every little thing they said. And then, I did the opposite of what didn’t feel right to me. We don’t follow rigid rules. And we’ve created a space where work doesn’t feel like a punishment. It’s not traditional. It’s not corporate. But it works for us. And maybe… That’s the point of building your own thing. You don’t have to follow the system. You can create one that works for you and your people. P.S. What’s 1 rule you’ve chosen to break in your business?

I am hiring a Manager at First Impressions: A Personal Branding Agency (and yes, I mean you 👀) If you enjoy creating neat to-do lists… If your Google Calendar is always colour-coded… If you’re that friend who remembers the deadline nobody else does Then you might be the right fit. What we’re looking for: → Good organisational skills (you love systems and structure) → Strong communication (you’ll be coordinating with clients + our team) → Basic understanding of LinkedIn (you should know how the platform works) Timings: 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM IST (Mon–Sat) Location: Remote It’s not your typical “manager” role. It’s more like keeping the team sane, helping things run smoother, and being that reliable, solid presence behind the scenes. You’ll be working closely with me on strategy, systems, clients, and yes… sometimes even for coffee catch-ups (virtual or real). We’re a chill (but ambitious) crew building something cool, and we’d love to have you onboard. To apply: Send your CV and a short cover letter telling me why you want to join. Only apply if you can genuinely commit to the 9:30–5:30 schedule. Great if you're a graduate and based out of Delhi. Email at Mishrasrishti114@gmail.com Let’s talk :)

I have a confession. I took engagement for granted last year. And I regret it. Somewhere between client work, building systems and working, I stopped showing up with intention here. → I posted → Checked the performance → Wrote the next post and scheduled it This was the only effort I put into LinkedIn last year. I was exhausted. But here’s what nobody tells you: Real engagement takes real effort. That’s why this year, I’m back in the game: → I comment when I have something to say. → I engage with people I genuinely want to learn from. → I show up in a way that feels good (and sustainable) for me. My engagement rhythm is simple: 1. Morning → Pre-post engagement 2. Golden hour → Reply to everyone 3. Afternoon → Repost + DMs & connects 4. Evening → Quick check-in, reply, log off I don’t stick to a number. I just go with the flow, engage with what I like and leave. That’s it. If you’re trying to be consistent on LinkedIn this year, start with a rhythm that respects your energy. That’s the only way it lasts. P.S. What’s your engagement strategy? Would love to learn from you too.

Nobody talks about this enough. There are days you’ll feel completely lost on LinkedIn. → No DMs. → Fewer views → Low engagement You’ll wonder, “Is anybody even reading this?” You’ll feel like you’ve run out of things to say. You’ll compare yourself to people posting every day, like it’s effortless. It happens to all of us. Even the ones who look like they’ve figured it out. Some months it feels like you’re talking to yourself. But you show up anyway. Because that’s what this game is: - Showing up when nobody’s clapping. - Writing when nobody’s watching. - Building when nobody’s validating. Quitting is never the answer. Pausing is fine. But giving up? Never. Your voice is not measured in likes. Your value is not measured in views. Some of your most important readers will never engage publicly. But they’re watching. And they’ll remember. Stay in the room. Do the reps. Trust the work. LinkedIn rewards patience more than anything else. P.S. Comment “Still here” if you needed this reminder today. P.P.S. Tag someone who motivates you to show up on LinkedIn.

"Can you help me get 25k followers in 3 months?" That was the shortest discovery call I've ever had. Didn’t even get a chance to sip my coffee. Because here's the thing: If follower count is your biggest KPI on LinkedIn... Then we are not building a brand. We are just collecting numbers. And brands aren't built on numbers. They're built on: → Stories → Reputation → Conversations If you're here only for followers, There are cheaper, faster ways for that. But if you're here to: → Own your narrative → Build trust at scale → Attract real business opportunities Then you're playing the game right. P.S. What's the most bizarre request you've heard on a discovery call? — Hi, I am Srishti, and I help founders and CXOs build a personal brand on LinkedIn. If you’re a founder who wants to show up better, share your story, and build trust in your industry, DM me or book a call via Calendly.

Saying yes to everything isn’t service. It’s a sign you don’t feel enough. It means you don’t value yourself enough. For the longest time, I thought this was the way to grow: → Saying yes to weekend calls → Taking last-minute feedback at midnight → Rewriting things endlessly to “overdeliver” → Bending timelines just to be seen as “easy to work with” But I burned out. I wanted to quit. I read a post by Kasey the other day… And she said something that just made sense: “I thought I was overdelivering. Turns out I was just under-boundaried.” That was me last year. In 2024, I was all over the place. But here’s what I’ve learned (slowly): Overdelivering without boundaries isn’t great service. It’s poor self-respect. Clients don’t leave because you set limits. They leave when things feel unclear. → They respect clarity. → They value reliability. → They stay when your work holds weight, without you being available 24/7. If they don't, then they weren't the right fit to begin with. If you're building a service-based business: Protect your time like it’s the most precious resource you have. I’m still figuring it out.  But one thing’s for sure:  I won’t call poor boundaries “great service” ever again. P.S.  Have you ever felt this too?

Unpopular opinion: Writing complicated content does not make you a better writer. A lot of people overthink writing on LinkedIn. • They try too hard to be different. • They try too hard to be the best. • They try too hard to stand out. But different doesn't always mean good. The best kind of content is: ↳ Simple ↳ To the point ↳ Problem-solving ↳ Easy to understand Before sharing any content on LinkedIn, ask yourself: → "Will this solve the problems of my ICP?" → "Will my community appreciate this" → "Will my audience relate to this?" If the answer is "yes" then hit the post button. Follow the same process every time you write. Avoid thinking too much about standing out. Avoid putting too much pressure on yourself. You won't last long on LinkedIn that way. Make your process simple from day 1. Simple processes give the best results. P.S. How do you plan your posts? What's your writing process like? P.P.S. I help founders and CXOs grow on LinkedIn and generate leads. If you're a founder looking to leverage LinkedIn to monetise your brand then DM me and I will help you through it.

My LinkedIn account was almost dead 2 weeks ago. → Reduced reach → Low impressions → Inconsistent posting And a whole lot of second-guessing... So I showed up, following what I talked about every day here: 1. Made a content plan 2. Started posting again 3. Left thoughtful comments 4. Made a 30-minute LI routine 5. Reconnected with people I admired But you know what helped me revive my account? ↳ The support of my community. The comments, the reposts, the DMs, everything motivated me to show up again. The quiet "so glad you're back" messages motivated me to do better. So if you're trying to revive your account: → Post, yes. But also participate. → Show up for your community and the people cheering for you. Cheer for them louder. Support them even more. Kindness and gratitude always come around 🌸 P.S. Tag your support pillars here and thank them today :) ___ ♻️ If you’re rebuilding too, share this. 💌 Follow me for more LinkedIn growth and personal branding tips.

The #1 problem most creators face on LinkedIn? They run out of content ideas. But here's the deal... Content isn't about having new ideas every day. It's about recognising the value of the ideas you already have. That's exactly why I recommend everyone to build an "idea bank." Here's how mine works: 1. Bucket 1: Lived experiences Include client wins, failures, hiring stories, and personal insights. Give words to your experiences. They hold value. 2. Bucket 2: Daily conversations Insight from team meetings. An interesting client call. Drop them here. People love to read raw stories. 3. Bucket 3: Process & opinions How you work, what you believe in and what you'd never do again. Your perspective is what makes your content original. Use that. 4. Bucket 4: LinkedIn feed Create a fresh post with your perspective on a post you liked. Convert a comment into a full-fledged post. 5. Bucket 5: Drafts Practice writing something, even if you can't complete it. When the time comes, you will have points for your incomplete ideas. Bonus: Start sending voice notes to yourself. It'll help you understand your thoughts better. You don't have to try hard to get ideas... You just have to look around yourself: - Put words to your thoughts - Believe that your experiences are valuable And hit post. That's it. P.S. How do you come up with new post ideas? What's your process?

Everyone says, "Build your personal brand." But nobody mentions the biggest mistake: ↳ Copying everyone else. After helping 50+ founders build their brands, here's what I learned: LinkedIn doesn't need: • Another generic success story • Another productivity guru • Another "thought leader" It needs: → Your unique experience → Your specific challenges → Your real solutions Stop hiding what makes you different. Share what “only” you know. Because authenticity isn't about being perfect. It's about being irreplaceable. P.S. What’s the biggest mistake people make in their personal branding journey? --- Hi, I am Srishti, and I help founders and CXOs build a personal brand on LinkedIn.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but... You don't have to be an all-arounder to create a brand on LinkedIn. It's literally the opposite. When you try to be an expert in everything - Your authority gets diluted - Your message becomes weak - Your content always remains generic Instead: - Try mastering 1 skill - Talk about it over and over again - Prove that you're the go-to person for that That's it. That's everything you have to do. A focused brand makes you more memorable & valuable. Those who know you for everything... Actually know you for nothing. P.S.

Nobody cares about your business if they don't know who you are. Harsh? Yes. But that's the truth. Here's why most founders struggle with personal branding: - They sound "too corporate" when they post. - Keep reposting company news and updates. - Ignore comments and connections. - Wait for the perfect time to start. - Post once in a blue moon. And the result? → No real visibility → No trust from their audience → No leverage from the brand that they could build Let’s fix that. Here’s what actually works: ✅ Tell your story → You're not just a founder. You're someone people look up to. ✅ Post how you speak → Drop the corporate tone, ditch AI templates and just write naturally. ✅ Be consistent → 3- 4x a week. Not when you “feel like it.” ✅ Engage like it matters → Because it does. Show up before & after you post. ✅ Give value without selling → Teach. Share. Reflect. Your content will do the positioning for you. You don’t need to be viral. You just need to be visible. And the best time to start building your personal brand? Last year. The second best? Today. P.S. What's holding you back from building your personal brand on LinkedIn? ___ I help founders and CXOS build their brand on LinkedIn.

I’m probably the most imperfect LinkedIn expert you’ll find here. I miss replying to comments. I sometimes miss posting. I forgot to update things. And I’m okay with it.  (Not proud, but I understand life happens) Because I’ve never believed in playing this game 100/100. → My 80 is still showing up with intention. → My 80 is still building relationships that matter. → My 80 is still adding value when I post. If I miss the 20 (or even 30%)?  It’s fine. There’s no LinkedIn police coming for you.  There’s no hard rule book. And there’s no gold medal for being "always online." Consistency is not about being perfect. It’s about momentum. And momentum survives missed days, late replies, and imperfect routines,  if your 80 is solid. If you’ve been beating yourself up for not being "perfect" here… Take a breath. Reset. Show up again. This game was never about being perfect.  It was always about real. P.S. What’s your take on this? Would love to hear that. -- Explored a Korean snack store last weekend, such a fun adventure. Posting a bunch of pictures because lately multiple pictures are working? Not sure, but let's do A/B testing today.
