How to use this LinkedIn guide

Post and connect where B2B buyers are. This LinkedIn guide is designed for b2b founders and products. It covers 5 practical steps, what results to expect, and the mistakes that most often waste time.

Use this as a practical action plan, not a rigid checklist. Start with the setup, keep the recurring actions that fit your schedule, and use the community notes below to compare the playbook with what other founders actually experienced.

Action plan

1
Rewrite your headline as who you help and how (not your job title); add a tracked link in Featured.once
2
Start with warm contacts you already know, then list 20 ideal buyers to connect with.once
3
Post 3-5 native posts a week: a personal story that lands a business lesson, with a strong first two lines.daily
4
Comment thoughtfully on 3-5 ideal-buyer posts daily - it is how they discover you before they see your post.

Tips and traps

Do this

Lead with native value. Test a link in the post against a link in the first comment for your own audience.
Keep overt product posts to about 1 in 10. The rest is story, lesson, insight.

Avoid this

Auto-DMing your link to new connections.
Posting only links. LinkedIn buries them.

What founders actually found

Real learnings from the community.
