You are active. You connect with people. You share good content.

But still, your views are stuck at 10 or 20. Your reach is dead. 😔

Bohot confusing lagta hai.

The reason is often not your content, but a tiny problem hidden deep in your settings.

This is the true story of a student who was unknowingly blocking his own success.

💔 The Hidden Problem: Locked Settings 🔒

Recently a B Com student messaged me: "Sir, I have 200+ connections, I post twice a week, but my posts never cross 10-12 views. Am I writing something wrong?" 😥

I checked his posts. The content was decent: simple learnings and good takeaways. No problem there.

But when I checked his profile settings... everything became clear.

The problem was that his profile access was blocked for the LinkedIn algorithm!

He had several settings turned OFF that should have been ON:

• Profile visibility → "Connections only." (The rest of the world couldn't see his content.)

• Follow button disabled. (People couldn't follow him even if they saw his content.)

• Creator mode off. (LinkedIn didn't know what his topics were.)

These small settings were confusing LinkedIn. The algorithm didn't know who to show him to.

Freshers think their content is bad. But sometimes, visibility is blocked two steps before.

The Simple Fix: UNLOCK Your Profile 🔑

We fixed the basics. Just 6 micro changes made a huge difference:

1. Profile visibility → Public (So everyone can see.)

2. Follow button → ON (To get more followers.)

3. Creator mode → ON (To tell LinkedIn your topics, like #CareerAdvice, #JobSearch.)

4. Public profile shareable → ON

5. Search visibility → ON

6. Connections → Followers syncing ON (Crucial for reach.)

The Result: Finally Visible! 🚀

In the next 48 hours, he sent a screenshot: "Sir, finally my post crossed 200 views. This never happened before today." 🥳

Same person. Same content. Same skills.

But now, LinkedIn was actually seeing him.

LinkedIn's Rule: "You must allow me to show you before I can grow you."

Don't lock your own visibility and then blame the algorithm. The actual problem is just settings.

🛠️ Final Step: Check Your Permissions!

These micro-changes will unlock your reach. But you cannot get the interview if your resume is full of basic mistakes.

Your resume must be ATS-friendly and free of basic mistakes.
