In my post from last week, you asked for proof.
Here it is.
I know it's hard to believe...
but yeah, Elon truly doesn't hate LinkedIn anymore.
And now he's running EngageFast.ai from the Cybertruck touchscreen.
He's at 24 comments in 13 minutes.

I had a Google Sheet with 50 names of people I wanted to engage with on LinkedIn.
Every day I got the same damn routine:
- open the sheet
- click profile 1
- wait for page to load
- check if there is a new post
- find something to say
- repeat 49 more times
Took me 90 MINUTES / day

Initially, I was a simple developer.
2 years ago I had (literally) ZERO clue how to:
- do marketing
- sell anything to anyone
- talk to users without feeling weird
- get anyone to care about what I built
A total black box.

I'm not special.
I'm not a 10x dev.
I'm not even that good at marketing.
My only advantage?
I wake up and try again.
First SaaS: NeoAssist. Failed.
Zero revenue, zero users who cared.
Family and friends kept asking how it's going.

Thea sent me a DM a few days ago.
She cut her commenting time from 1 hour to 20 minutes.
Just by using EngageFast.
40 minutes saved.
Sounds small? do the math.
40 mins daily
= 5 hours a week.
= 20 hours a month.
= 243 hours a year.
That is 30 full 8-hour work days for one year.

Bad news, dropping 30 comments on LI today won't land you 6 clients magically.
The game isn't intensity.
It's showing up daily.
10 comments a day for 30 days beats 100 comments once.

I stopped optimizing my posts and revenue went up.
Weird, right?
Here's what happened:
I used to spend 1-2 hour per post.
Refining the hook, the structure, the CTA.
Result?
-> 400 views, 12 likes, zero customers.

Your first launch will flop.
Even if you started posting 3 months before.
Because building an audience is long and hard.
Really hard.
Sure, 1% get lucky and grow fast.
They go viral once and ride the wave.
You're probably not in that 1%.
(I wasn't either)

Mostly because I’m just a grounded human who loves to create and improve things every day.
What about you, guys?
P.S. this is me coding at 10 a.m. facing the Alps.
does this make me a "visionary founder"? 😂

Breaking: LinkedIn just invented the "Pay-to-lose" button.
The "Boost" button above your post isn’t a growth hack
It’s a silent tax on your future reach.

You post something and LinkedIn shows you that "Boost" button.
You think, why not? I’ll spend $20 to reach more people.

Just added a shining comment counter + heatmap on EngageFast.
It’s part of a new experiment to gamify retention,
with dopamine that actually drives solopreneurs and busy founders to show up again and again.
Here is the simple equation:
engagement + visible progress = consistency
