Week one, we rebuild your profile. Then five posts a week, all from what you said.

Do you publish for me?

Yes. We post for you, or you post the finished work yourself.

How fast will I see results?

First engagement in a couple weeks. First sales calls within about two months. Averages, not promises.

How much of my time does this take?

One hour a week. Forty-five minutes to talk, fifteen to approve.

What happens on the call?

Forty-five minutes. We build a few posts live from what you said. No commitment.

How often should founders post on LinkedIn?

How often should founders post on LinkedIn? Every guide gives you a different magic number, so here is the honest version: the right frequency is the highest one you can hold for months without your quality slipping. For most founders writing alone, that is two or three posts a week. Less than you feared, probably. But the rule around it matters more than the number, so let me show you the whole picture.

What does the data actually say?

Buffer analyzed over two million LinkedIn posts and the pattern is consistent: steady posting a few times a week beats bursts followed by silence. Not because the feed punishes you for resting, but because reach compounds through repetition. People need to see you several times before they remember you exist.

And volume without quality now works against you. LinkedIn is openly fighting filler content. Here is the person who runs the feed.

Tim Jurka

Leads the feed engineering team at LinkedIn

“Nobody wants to scroll through recycled, generic posts... we’ll be improving our systems to reduce repetitive, click-driven posts.”

From his public update on the LinkedIn feed.

So the old advice of “just post every day, quantity builds the habit” has an expiry date. Padding your week with generic posts does not just bore people now. It trains the feed that your content is skippable. I wrote about why the algorithm rewards substance if you want the mechanics.

Pick your rung, not your fantasy

1 post a week

The starting line

Enough to build the habit and gather data. Not enough to be remembered yet. Start here if you write everything yourself.

2 to 3 posts a week

The solo sweet spot

Steady presence without quality slipping. This is the most a busy founder usually sustains alone.

5 posts a week

The full presence

One every weekday. Daily visibility compounds fastest, but almost nobody sustains this alone. Our clients do it in one hour a week because a team carries the rest.

Notice what changes between the rungs. It is not ambition, it is support. Writing five real posts a week alone, on top of running a company, is a fantasy for most founders. Our clients publish five a week and spend one hour on it: fifteen minutes approving prepared posts, forty five minutes talking. The rest is done for them. Without that, be honest about what you can carry.

Consistency beats intensity

The most common failure I see is not posting too little. It is the burst. A founder gets motivated, posts daily for two weeks, gets modest numbers, concludes LinkedIn does not work, and disappears.

The burst

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

Week 4

Two heroic weeks, then silence. The feed forgets, and so does your audience.

The rhythm

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

Week 4

Fewer posts, same weeks. Presence compounds because it never stops.

The founder on the left wrote more posts. The founder on the right got the results, because trust is built by showing up next week too. One honest hour a week, every week, beats a heroic month followed by silence. Every time.

How long until posting pays?

~2 weeks

to first real engagement

2 weeks to 2 months

to first sales calls

What we see with clients posting five times a week. Averages, not promises.

One of our clients, Rhys, closed his first inbound B2B deal, $6,600, in the first 14 days. Another, Jon, got 10 sales calls and a $12,000 deal from one post in his first 3 weeks. Those are the fast ones, not the norm, and I show them next to the averages on purpose. Expect two weeks before real engagement and up to two months before sales calls. If you quit at week three, you paid the cost and skipped the payoff. You can see both stories on our results section.

What about the best time of day?

The studies contradict each other. One says weekends, another says midweek mornings. That tells you everything: there is no universal best time, there is only your audience. Post when your buyers are awake, watch your own numbers for a month, and trust your data over anyone’s chart. Frequency and quality decide your reach. Timing is a rounding error.

When you cannot keep up

Drop a rung, publicly keep the rhythm. Two good posts a week for a year beats five mediocre ones for a month.
Never pad with filler. If the post could have been written by anyone, it costs you more than skipping the day.
Spend the saved time in comments. Thoughtful comments on your buyers’ posts keep you visible between posts, and they take minutes, not hours.

The founders who win on LinkedIn are not the ones who post the most. They are the ones still posting in month six. Pick the cadence that makes that true for you, and if you want the five-a-week presence without the five-a-week workload, that is exactly what we built.
