I gained from 0 to 11,000+ followers on LinkedIn by stopping 1 mistake.

When I started posting on LinkedIn, I did what most designers do.

→ shared my work
→ posted portfolio shots
→ talked about design trends

Nothing moved.
No reach.
No followers.

So I stopped guessing and started studying what actually works.

Here’s what changed everything:

→ I picked one clear audience
→ freelancers who were good at their skill but bad at making money

→ I created a short list of topics:
• getting clients
• pricing
• client conversations
• mistakes I made and fixed

→ I posted only around those problems

Within days, things shifted.

→ followers started coming daily
→ posts got saved and shared
→ people started DM’ing me with real questions

The lesson is simple:
People don’t follow design.
They follow how you helping them.

If you’re posting and nothing is happening, it’s usually not the algorithm.
It’s the message.
