I’ve always struggled with consistency on LinkedIn. I’d write posts, get some engagement, then life gets busy and suddenly a week goes by with nothing. I knew the key to growth was consistency, but who has the time to post every day? So, I decided to experiment: I automated **30 days of LinkedIn posts** using an AI tool I helped build ([Cero](https://www.usecero.com/)). My goal wasn’t just to post for the sake of posting, I wanted meaningful, engaging content that would resonate with my audience. Here’s what I learned: 1. **Consistency matters more than perfection.** Even my first posts weren’t perfect, but posting daily kept me visible. Engagement started to climb after day 5. 2. **Automation doesn’t mean inauthentic.** The AI helped draft ideas, but I still added personal touches. This combination kept my posts feeling human while saving hours each week. 3. **Engagement compounds.** By week 2, comments on early posts started sparking new conversations on later posts. My network started noticing, connecting, and sharing insights. 4. **Content planning is easier than you think.** I mapped out 30 days of posts in one session, including polls, short tips, and story-driven content. This foresight removed the daily stress of “what should I post today?” **⚡️ The results:** * My profile views tripled. * Connection requests went up 4x. * Conversations with potential clients and collaborators increased significantly. What surprised me most was how **little time I actually spent each day**. A 10-minute check-in was enough because the posts were pre-planned and optimized. I’m sharing this because I know many of you struggle with the same thing: wanting to grow your LinkedIn presence but feeling overwhelmed. The right combination of planning, automation, and personal touch can completely change your trajectory. If you’re curious about how I structured this, or want tips on planning a month’s worth of posts in a single session, I’d be happy to break it down further. **TL;DR:** Automating your LinkedIn content doesn’t make it less human, it frees up time to engage meaningfully, grow your audience, and get real opportunities.
