Most people ignore the most basic LinkedIn strategies

They post. 
They wait.
They wonder why nothing happens.

But LinkedIn isn’t just about posting.

Here’s what actually works:

1. Fix your feed:
- Follow the right people, and unfollow the noise. 

2. Comment like you mean it:
 - Meaningful comments = profile visits.

3. Use pinned comments:
- Keep people engaged on your post longer.

4. Repurpose high-performing posts:
- Not everyone saw it the first time.

5. Engage before & after posting 
- The algorithm rewards activity.

Your content isn’t enough. 
Your strategy makes the difference.

P.S. Which one are you NOT doing?

You can’t lead a market if no one knows your name.

You could be the best at what you do:

→ Smartest founder
→ Strongest service
→ Most innovative solution

But if no one sees you…
No one's choosing you.

Because the truth is:

Visibility beats talent when talent hides.

→ You don’t need to post every day.
→ You don’t need to share your morning routine.
→ But you do need to show up strategically

With clarity, credibility, and consistency.

The top 1% don’t just build.

They build in public, loud enough for their market to remember them,
and sharp enough for their audience to trust them.

If your product is ready but your brand is invisible...

You’re leaving money, impact, and leadership on the table.

It’s not about being viral.
It’s about being visible to the right people.

And that starts with your name showing up where it matters.

Hi, I am Srishti 
 
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.

"Your personal brand isn't built in 30 days."

That's what I tell every founder who wants quick results.

Truth is:

• I lost money on calls
• Posted for nothing for months
• Didn't land a single client for 6 months

But I kept showing up.

Here's what nobody tells you about branding:

→ Your first 50 posts will be average
→ Your first few months will test your patience

The founders who win?

They focus on the system, not the success.

Build daily habits that compound:

1. Write for 30 minutes
2. Comment on 10 relevant posts
3. Share one learning, even if it's small

Quick wins = Quick losses

Slow growth = Strong roots

P.S. Are you here for the long game?

I had no idea how to write my first LinkedIn post.

So I did this:

→ Wrote like I talk
→ Shared 1 idea in 1 post
→ Didn't try to sound smart

The first post?

Not great.

But it got me started.

And that's the part no one tells you
You find your voice by writing imperfectly
Not by waiting for the perfect sentence and format

If you're stuck, write badly.

Let it be imperfect.
Let it be honest.

Just write.

The clarity comes gradually.

P.S. What's your best tip for someone trying to write their first LinkedIn post?

Personal branding looks fun on the outside.

But here’s what most people don’t check before they start.

1. Clarity:

What are you showing up for?
What do you want to be known for?

2. Capacity

Can you do this consistently?
Do you have time to review, engage, and write?

3. Intent

Are you here to say something meaningful?
Or to stay visible?

Personal branding isn’t about being everywhere.

It’s about showing up with purpose and staying even when no one’s watching.

Start from that place. The rest follows.

Most people think personal branding starts with content.

It doesn’t.

If I start working on your personal brand tomorrow, I won’t open your content calendar.

I’d open your profile.

And your DMs.

And maybe your last 5 posts.

And I’d ask:

→ Can I tell what you do in under 5 seconds?
→ Do your posts feel like something only you could write?
→ Would I know how to work with you, without sending a "Hey, quick question" DM?

Because here’s the truth:

You don’t need to post more.
You need to be understood faster.
You need to make your offer feel obvious.

You need to sound like you, not a content template.

And when all of that starts to click?

Leads don’t just come in.

The right ones do.

If you’ve been posting but not seeing the right leads come in.

DM me to start your personal branding journey.

I used to think personal branding meant being liked by more people.

Post consistently.
Sound smart.
Be relevant.

But here’s what no one tells you:

The right brand won’t attract everyone.

It’ll repel the wrong ones.
And that’s a good thing.

Because when your content starts sounding like you:

→ Some will unfollow.
→ Some people will scroll past.
→ And a few will lean in and think, “Finally, someone who gets it.”

That’s the point.

You're not here to entertain the algorithm.
You're here to build a brand that filters for you.

One that attracts people who share your values, vibe, and vision.
And quietly closes the door on everyone else.

That’s how clarity turns into clients.
Not by being louder. But by being more you.

If your brand is trying to do too much…
Maybe it’s time to do a little less.
But do it with more honesty.

P.S. What’s one thing you no longer pretend to care about in your personal brand?

On a recent onboarding call, a client mentioned something really shocking. 

Their team was dropped from a funding round because the investors couldn’t find the founder's LinkedIn presence.

- Their product was great.
- The startup was running well
- Everything was just perfect on paper

But there were no founder stories. Nothing that built trust.

That was a wake-up call for the whole team.

Now, she’s showing up regularly.

- Making sure people know the people behind the brand.
- Talking about what she’s building.
- Sharing the journey.

Because here’s the truth: People don’t just invest in products.

They invest in people, and people need to know you exist.

If you’re building something and still hiding behind your logo, you’re making it harder than it needs to be.

Start showing up.

It'll change everything for you.

P.S. What’s one thing stopping you from posting right now?

Following up can be tricky. 

But it's an important step in nurturing leads and closing deals.

Here are 9 sentences to use when you follow up: 

1. "Is there anything else you need from me?"
2. "Have you had a chance to review our offer?"
3. "I'm wondering if you've made a decision yet."
4. "I'm following up on the email I sent last week."
5. "I wanted to check in on our last conversation."
6. "I'm curious about your thoughts on our proposal."
7. "I'm reaching out to see if you have any questions."
8. "I'm touching base to see how things are progressing."
9. "I'd love to schedule a quick call to discuss the next steps."

Why does this matter?

When you follow up:

→ You keep the conversation going
→ You increase your chances of closing the deal
→ You show genuine interest in the prospect's needs

Following up isn't about being pushy.

It's about building relationships and providing value.

P.S. How do you approach follow-ups in your sales process?

“I don’t have much experience on LinkedIn, I am still learning.”

The biggest excuse people make to avoid writing on LinkedIn.

Stop with the excuses and write what you are learning.

Here’s the thing:

→ You won’t become an expert with 1 post.
→ You won’t join the top 1% in your first month. 
→ You won’t understand how things work here in 1 week.

But if you keep learning and sharing along the way, then:

→ You’ll improve with every post.
→ You’ll understand what works here.
→ You’ll be close to joining the top 1%.

The choice is yours.

Sit back and do nothing, 

Or act now, take the first step and get closer to your goals.

Which option would you pick?

Today, when most brands are busy talking about product features, one brand took a completely different route for its latest launch.

boAt Lifestyle didn’t just say what makes the Airdopes Prime 701 ANC special; they opened it up. Literally.

They revealed the inner blueprint, broke it down part by part, and backed every claim with solid evidence.

Not many brands would dare to be this transparent.

But boAt Lifestyle did, and here’s what they proved:

→ AI calling tech trained on real Indian traffic noise.
→ DSP-powered hybrid ANC that actually cancels chaos.
→ A Bluetooth range that delivers on the full 12 meters.
→ Personalised audio (in partnership with Mimi) to reduce listening fatigue.
→ Lab-tested durability built for India’s real-world conditions.

This wasn’t just a product launch; it felt like a live audit.

No buzzwords. No gimmicks. No borrowed credibility.

Just the “Prime Promise,” backed by proof.

In a market full of marketing, boAt showed up with receipts.

And honestly?
That might be the most refreshing thing I’ve seen in a while.

Didn’t expect a ₹1 gelato to remind me how smart marketing works.

I was walking out of WeWork Gurgaon when I noticed a small queue near the exit.

Turns out, District and Frozen Fun had set up a simple cart, scan a QR, and get gelato for ₹1.

They didn’t try to convince anyone. The setup spoke for itself.

And it worked. People downloaded the app, stayed around, talked about it.
All during a regular office break.

It’s a reminder: not everything needs to happen online.

Sometimes, the best growth move is just showing up where your users are and giving them something to smile about.

Tagging District & Frozen Fun Gelato because this was genuinely smart and well-executed. 

Would love to see more of this from brands.

If your business has no marketing, it’s like winking in the dark.

You know what you’re doing.
You know you’re good.
But no one else sees it.
A brilliant product without visibility is just a well-kept secret.

Take Coca-Cola, for example.

Back in the early 1900s, there were dozens of cola brands fighting for shelf space. But Coca-Cola didn’t just rely on taste, they invested heavily in marketing. From wall murals in small towns to iconic glass bottles and unforgettable slogans, they made sure no one could miss them.

By the 1920s, Coca-Cola was a cultural phenomenon.

Lesson: Great products don’t sell themselves.

Visibility isn’t vanity, it’s survival.
Advertise. Market.

Tell your story, because the world doesn’t chase what it doesn’t see.
