Posting for Leverage

Posting for Leverage: For those who treat content as foundation, not bait

For those who treat content as foundation, not bait

Someone asked why I’m on LinkedIn.
If I’m not pitching... If I’m not job hunting...
What’s the point?

Same question almost every day. :)

That question reveals a dangerous assumption most people don’t know they’re operating under:

That visibility only matters when it’s tied to a transaction.

Here’s the truth: most people treat LinkedIn like a catalogue or a billboard.
Their logic is linear — post to get attention, get attention to get leads, get leads to make money.
When that doesn’t happen, they go quiet. Drift sets in. Doubt follows.

But that model’s broken.
Because the right people — the ones who will build with you — don’t respond to ads.
They respond to architecture. To proof. To signal.

System Insight:
What I’m doing on LinkedIn isn’t selling. It’s surface area.

Each post is a breadcrumb. A fragment of the infrastructure I’ve already built.
I’m not trying to convince the masses. I’m calling the one — the 1/1000 — who sees the system underneath the sentence.

That’s the Proconsul model:
Deploy work.
Signal depth without dilution.
Let the right person find the pattern, and then offer motion.

Deployment Path:
If you’re building something real, and you’re tired of posting into silence, here’s what to do:

  1. Clarify the consequence of your work. Don’t explain what it is... show what it moves.
  2. Publish for resonance, not response. Most people won’t get it. You don’t need most people. Thanks Filippo :)
  3. Design every post as a beacon. It should show your structure, your clarity, your leverage.
  4. End with a trigger. Don’t ask for a call. Don’t beg for likes. Say something sharp enough to move the ready.

You’re not invisible. You’re just undecided about who it’s for.

Post like the right person is watching.
Because they are.
And when they see it... they’ll know.

Sharp. Sequenced. Strategic.

Create demand without asking for it.

This is what I’m working on. Tell me what you think, I enjoy the conversation! Subscribe and follow the work in real time.

You’re not invisible. You’re just undecided.
Post like the right person is watching, because they are.
This isn’t content. It’s surface area for resonance.
