You worked hard on that post. The algorithm buried it.
This happens every day. Good content, wrong distribution. The fix is not a better post. It is a better system.
Send your LinkedIn posts directly to someone's email.
LinkedIn decides what shows up in your feed. You control nothing about that distribution, except who you proactively put your content in front of.
Most people create content and then wait. They post, check the metrics, feel disappointed, and post again. That is not a strategy. That is hope dressed up as consistency.
Proactive distribution is the alternative. It takes thirty seconds, and it works every time you do it right.
That context is the whole game. It is not mixed into their frenetic feed. It is an email intended solely for them. The more specific the reason, the more likely they read it and click.
When they click, LinkedIn registers the interaction. More of your content shows up in their feed going forward. You are not just reaching them once. You are resetting the algorithm in your favor.
This tactic does double duty.
Send a piece of content that would be genuinely valuable to a prospect you have gone quiet with. Keeps your name visible without the awkward follow-up asking if they are ready to move forward.
One post. One email. One reason to think of you. That is staying top of mind without being a pest, and most people never think to do it this way.
At Intero, we teach this as part of a broader methodology. It's Business, Not Social™. The platform is a tool, and how you use it determines what it produces.
Proactive distribution is one piece of that. The professionals who build real pipelines on LinkedIn are not waiting on the algorithm. They are making deliberate moves with the right content to the right people at the right time.
This is one of those moves.
Go back to your last five posts. Pick one that would be genuinely relevant to a specific person in your network right now.
Send it with one sentence of context.
Do that consistently and watch what happens to your engagement and your relationships.
