You Can't Post and Ghost

Justin Vajko • May 26, 2025

I’ve heard a lot of other entrepreneurs complain that they’re not getting the results they want within a 3-6 month period. 


I’ve been on LinkedIn for 2+ years posting consistently. 


And I figured out why people aren’t getting the results they want. 


(spoiler: it has to do with the social part of social media)


LinkedIn is NOT just a social platform. You can’t just post and ghost. 


It’s a networking platform way before it’s a social platform. 


If you’re trying to get results from LinkedIn and feel like you’re hitting a wall, you probably just haven’t found your people here yet. 


You want to be looking for the people who are: 

→ your peers

→ your mentor 

→ a champion that will connect to your audience


Then, you need to actually build relationships with them. 


You can’t just post and hope someone notices you. 


You have to interact. 


It’s the law of reciprocity: If you want to get attention, you have to give attention. 


LinkedIn is a platform full of the best and the brightest. 


(i’ve met so many amazing people on here.) 


It’s not enough to post into the void. You gotta find your people and say hi. 


That’s when you’re going to start to see results.

Justin sits down with Dana Herra to unpack what it really means to “market less and matter more.” If you’re a solopreneur or small business owner trying to do everything everywhere, this conversation shows you a smarter way forward. Justin and Dana break down how focusing on fewer channels and leaning into your natural strengths creates stronger connections, better content, and far less burnout. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My superpower? Uncovering the story. Before I was a marketer, I was a journalist. A pretty good one. In 10 years, I won nearly two dozen awards. The newsroom taught me to listen carefully and ask the questions that get to the heart of a story. Today, I use those skills to interview you, drawing out your best ideas and unique point of view. The resulting content breathes with your authentic voice. And it’s strategically designed to build trust and influence with your target audience. Superpower 2: Voice chameleon. Ever read something and think, “Oh, there’s no way they wrote that." Maybe you could believe the poster had that idea, but the words are all wrong. It doesn’t sound like them. Yeah, those aren’t my clients. I’m brand voice certified. I have an actual, scientific process for breaking down your voice into its distinct elements so I can recreate it in your content. While we’re talking about your ideas, I’m also soaking up your voice. Connect with Dana here: https://danaherra.com/ https://linkedin.com/in/danaherra To access our Free Video Mini Course on getting leads with video on LinkedIn: https://www.dialogwith.us/intro Here are several topics we cover in this episode: Don't do things you hate; it shows in your work. Focus on fewer channels for more effective marketing. Leverage personal strengths to maximize marketing impact. Evaluate marketing channels based on audience and personal energy. Experiment with different formats to find what works best. Give marketing efforts time to gain traction before switching. ROI isn't just financial; consider time and energy investment. Avoid shiny object syndrome; stay focused on core strategies. Use storytelling to grab attention and persuade effectively. Marketing is about using strengths as leverage, like judo.

Many founders don't realize there's a formula for good video content. But it's different based on the context of the video.
