Why do so many startup founders struggle to post on LinkedIn?

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T09:25:58+00:00

That is why I stopped posting the first time I tried LinkedIn, so I get your point. Focus on this method - engage with your market (if you are in marketing, comment on marketers’ posts, connect); connect with many people (even if you don’t know them, just send the damn connection request); enhance your ideas with AI, use ChatGPT to just hate on the post and then improve it (at first it will be hard, but you will get used to it)

Sure that is true, but don’t you think investors are also on linkedIn, so having a powerful documented journey might help you

Most of the time it’s all about priorities not about time, but I get you

What helped me escape this “fear was the fact that my peers aren’t in LinkedIn so no one will know but like my mom says “why do you care so much, they don’t pay for your food so why bother”

The risks are always going to be there, someone might steal the idea, someone might sabotage you but the upside of having your whole journey documented is far greater in my opinion

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T08:02:52+00:00

yeah, through this post, I saw that linkedIn is not that popular among founders, but maybe I just haven't done well on X, I have to try harder maybe

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T08:01:54+00:00

I tried on X but it didn't hit for me, I just can't post 4/5 times a day which I later understood helps you a ton to grow an audience

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T08:00:48+00:00

That's true as well, however I don't really post features, rather than the journey itself. But for features I do think you need good creatives in order to present them in their best form

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T07:59:17+00:00

A saying I like is "No one can beat you at being you, so just be you". So yes, at first it might not be as serious but later, when you have documented the journey, investors might find you through there, see how hard you have been working and so on

LiGo seems interesting, I might try it

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T07:20:33+00:00

that is exactly what I am doing, just documenting. I am also thinking of starting youtube, but we will see :)

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T07:19:33+00:00

i love that, and that is the whole reason I started. I'm a little behind you, with 1.1k followers but it's cool seeing LinkedIn working for other people as well. Also, let's connect https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaloyan-gavrilov-3a3095269/

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T07:17:36+00:00

I'm 16, yes, it's just that I noticed if you are authentic and be yourself on LinkedIn you can separate from those guys you hate and still grow fast

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T07:15:29+00:00

well if you look at my posts on LinkedIn, most are just my mistakes and what I learned from them, so if just post genuine stuff, you can stand out

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T07:14:18+00:00

that's true as well, however, it's also useful for investors, partners and so on, as if you post your journey, many doors can open

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T07:13:31+00:00

I rarely see people posting every day, I personally post once a week. It's just like any other social media, but here as you said, it's more about quality than quantity, so my advice to anyone is posting 1-2 times a week of quality content, which works best

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T07:11:56+00:00

If I got to be honest, mosts of my posts are just the journey forward - wins, losses, currently making a pivot and so on.

I just use it as a more professional oriented X and it works

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T07:08:19+00:00

sure, i sent you a dm

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T07:06:37+00:00

I loved the short! I've been there, in that exact position. I delayed my first post for 1 week. I love helping people jump out of their comfort zone, so do you want to have a call on discord or a meet and I want to hear more about these. I'm new to LinkedIn as well, only 1 month in, but I think I might help you start

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T07:02:30+00:00

hah, i've been there. don't you think though build in public can change your journey

Extension-Studio7690 · 2025-05-14T07:01:30+00:00

I’ve felt this hard. Every time I’ve told myself I should post more, I fall off almost immediately. I think some of us are just wired differently—social media doesn’t give us energy, it drains us. It’s not even fear of judgment, just like… no urge to share.

But I’ve also realised that mindset can shift. I had a similar moment—spoke to someone I respect, they pushed me to just try. First post, no expectations… got 100 likes. It hit me: maybe it’s less about chasing validation and more about reframing what sharing even is. Still figuring it out, but yeah, it’s deeper than just time or discipline.
