Most LinkedIn advice tells you to post daily. This operator posted weekly and generated 5–10 warm inbound leads every week by reverse-engineering what already worked.
The case at a glance

Stack: AI for resource drafts, LeadGravity (his own LinkedIn DM automation tool)
He's a solo founder selling B2B SaaS. Tried daily posting first and trained the algorithm to ignore him. Switched to weekly posts after manually analyzing 170 high-comment posts in his niche to find which topics pulled 200+ comments. The research step gave him pre-validated topics. The one-word CTA gave him friction-free conversion. The manual DM bottleneck (300+ messages per post) forced him to build the automation that became his second revenue stream.
What he's actually selling (and what most operators miss)
The product isn't the LinkedIn post. The product is a 20-minute research habit that tells you what to post before you write.
Most creators spend two hours writing a post and zero minutes validating whether the topic has demand. This operator inverted it. Every Monday, he audits 10 competitor accounts and sorts their posts by comments (not likes) over the last 30 days. A post with 400 likes and 5 comments is performative agreement. A post with 40 likes and 200 comments is a live debate—friction, opinion, heat. He takes the topic, wraps a one-page resource around it, and ships.
The hook formula is locked: specific number + short timeframe + tangible thing. "1,523 comments in 30 days, here's the exact template" beats "I grew on LinkedIn, here's what I learned."
The CTA is friction engineering, not copywriting. He tested this across 170 posts. "Comment GUIDE" averaged 310 comments. "Comment send guide" dropped to 180. "Send me the guide" fell under 100. Every extra word is a decision point, and every decision bleeds conversion.
The single-word CTA isn't a comment request. It's a button press.
