How Podawaa Helped Me Accelerate My LinkedIn Follower Growth in 6 Months

I posted consistently on LinkedIn for almost a year, usually two to three times a week. 

I expected that my LinkedIn posting schedule would eventually lead to growth, but my results stayed almost the same each month.

By June, it was clear that my content wasn’t reaching new people. I was active, but my visibility was not improving in a meaningful way.

That changed when I added Podawaa to my workflow. I kept my posting schedule and content the same, but the distribution of my posts improved. 

Over the next several months, LinkedIn impressions increased, profile visits reached 450 in 90 days, and my follower growth rose by more than 53%.

Before Podawaa (Nov 2024 → June 2025): Slow Growth and Limited Visibility

From November 2024 to June 2025, I was posting two to three times a week, but the results remained almost the same month after month. 

My impressions increased slowly, profile visits were low, and very few posts led to new followers. Even though I stayed consistent, my audience wasn’t growing.

Here’s an example of my LinkedIn impressions during this period:

During these six months, my posts generated 9,557 impressions. 

The reach per post stayed low and steady, and the curve shows slow growth without any real increase. A sign that my content was not being shown to new audiences.

The same pattern appeared in my profile activity. Most posts brought in only a few profile views and almost no new followers.

Here’s what my profile visits and follower gains looked like before using Podawaa:

For this post, I received:

• 6 profile viewers
• 0 followers gained

This was typical for my content at the time. I was getting small amounts of engagement, but not enough visibility to grow my audience or reach people outside my existing network.

The numbers made it clear: the issue wasn’t consistency. The issue was that my posts weren’t reaching new viewers.

The Turning Point: I Started Using Podawaa to Improve Distribution in June 2025

In June 2025, I added Podawaa to my posting routine. I didn’t change my content or post more frequently. The only difference was how my posts were distributed. 

Podawaa helped my content reach people who were more likely to engage, and that’s what started improving my visibility.

Here are the features I began using:

1. AI-selected audience: Podawaa analyzed the topic and format of each post and matched it with users most likely to care about it. This helped my posts reach people outside my existing network.

2. Best Time to Publish: Podawaa recommended the exact time slots when my audience was most active. Posting during these windows helped my content get seen earlier and by more relevant viewers.

3. Manual industry targeting: For posts meant for specific groups, I selected industries closely related to my topics. This ensured that my content reached people who were more likely to interact and visit my profile.

After a few weeks of using these features, I saw clear changes: impressions increased, profile visits became more frequent, and more new viewers were discovering my posts. 

This improvement in distribution is what started to shift the growth curve.

The Results: 53% Follower Growth + 450 Profile Views After Using Podawaa

After adding Podawaa to my workflow in June 2025, my LinkedIn analytics shifted noticeably. 

My posts began reaching people outside my existing network, profile visits increased, and follower growth became more consistent.

The improvement didn’t come from posting more or changing my topics. 

It came from better distribution. Podawaa helped my posts reach users who were active in my niche and more likely to engage.

Here’s how my follower growth changed after June:

From June to November, the growth line became clearly steeper. What used to take months began happening more regularly, and new followers started coming in each week.

This increase also showed up in my profile activity.

In the past 90 days, my profile received 450 viewers:

This was a major improvement compared to the months before. Higher profile activity led to more messages, more conversations, and more people discovering my work for the first time.

These results were supported by increases in impressions as well. 

More new viewers saw my posts, visited my profile, and followed my content, something that hadn’t happened before using Podawaa.

Increase Your LinkedIn Growth With Smarter Distribution

If you’re posting consistently but not seeing progress, the issue is often distribution. Your content needs to reach people who are active in your niche and likely to engage with your topics.

Podawaa helps your posts reach those users through targeted distribution, optimized timing, and AI-selected audiences. 

When your content appears in the right feeds, impressions, profile visits, and follower growth increase naturally (without having to change your posting routine).
