LinkedIn for Founders: A 30-Day Posting Plan

Founders win on LinkedIn by posting from their personal profile 3–4 times a week, rotating stories, lessons, opinions, how-tos and proof, and engaging daily with their audience's posts. Below is a copy-ready 30-day plan with a prompt for every post day, built for Indian and GCC B2B founders.

Before you start: fix your profile (30 minutes)

• Headline: who you help plus the outcome, e.g. "Helping D2C brands recover abandoned carts on WhatsApp | Founder, [Company]".
• Banner: one line on what you do, plus a CTA.
• About: your story, who you serve, proof, and how to reach you.
• Featured: your best post, a lead magnet and your website.
• Creator mode tools: add topics you post about.

The weekly rhythm

The 30-day plan

Week 1: who you are

1. Origin story: why you started the company.
2. The problem you solve, told through one customer moment.
3. A lesson from your first year that still shapes decisions.
4. Your "unpopular opinion" about your industry.
5. A behind-the-scenes photo with a short caption about your team or process (faceless is fine).

Week 2: what you know

6. A 5-step framework you use with clients.
7. Mistakes buyers make when choosing a vendor in your category.
8. Cost breakdown: what things really cost and why.
9. Myth vs reality in your niche.
10. Tool stack: the software you run the company on.

Week 3: proof and people

11. A client win: problem, action, result (with permission).
12. A number from your business you're proud of.
13. Shout-out to a partner, mentor or team member.
14. A failure and what you changed.
15. A customer question you answered this week, as a post.

Week 4: opinions and future

16. A prediction for your industry in the next 12 months.
17. A policy or regulation explainer (DPDP, TRAI, UAE rules): how it affects your buyers.
18. A comparison: approach A vs approach B, fairly assessed.
19. "If I started again today..." advice.
20. A poll on a genuine debate in your niche.

Days 21–30: repurpose and convert

21–25. Repost your top 5 posts from the month in new formats (carousel, short video, text). 26. Lead magnet: offer a checklist or template: "Comment 'PLAN' and I'll send it." 27. FAQ carousel: 5 questions prospects ask you. 28. Month recap: what you learned posting daily. 29. Invite: a webinar, an office hour or a WhatsApp community. 30. Thank-you post to your new followers, with what's coming next.
