I see this play out a lot.
Someone decides they’re going to start taking LinkedIn seriously, so they go from never posting to posting just about every day.
That jump rarely works.
First, people lose steam quickly. Daily posting from a cold start is hard.
Second, it sounds an authenticity alarm. When someone suddenly shows up every day after months of nothing, it feels forced.
People assume you’re just posting AI content, even if that’s not the case.
The biggest issue is you’re not giving yourself time to reintroduce yourself to your connections, followers, or algorithm.
And that’s why the slow roll matters so much.
It keeps the pressure low while you rebuild the habit, rather than sprinting out of the gate.
Here’s what I suggest:
Post once a week. Then commit 10–15 minutes a day to scrolling your feed and leaving comments.
That’s it.
You’re strengthening your LinkedIn muscle without overloading it.
People start noticing you again. You’re making connections and daily conversations in the comments feel normal.
Give it a month and see how it’s going, and more importantly, check in on how this feels.
Consistency comes from pacing, not pressure to perform.
Think of your one post a week as the on-ramp. It’s not the goal, but it gets you going in the right direction to build a habit you’ll actually stick with.
