Hey I am 25 M, have done my engineering from Pune but could'nt get a chance to explore properly.
Mostly it was COVID for peak years of my college life (2nd and 3rd year).
I will be 90% moving to Pune in july as this is the place which is close to my heart.
So if you are a freelancer who is based out of pune, or just a trekking fan who woild like to explore who wants to explore around Pune in monsoon, lets connect!
People think personal branding is about being seen.
That mindset is not completely right.
The founders building real authority on LinkedIn are not thinking about visibility.
They are thinking about three things: trust before the conversation, distribution they own, and search for compounds.
Here is what I keep observing in practice.
> TRUST : Your potential buyers check profiles before replying to emails. Investors check founders before meetings. Clients check credibility before booking calls.
Entrepreneur's built audiences on Linkedin later becomes distribution. Consistent. Specific. Credible. Long before any single post went anywhere.They've built "trust" via sharing their stories and hence it's easier to trust them.
> SEARCH (AEO) : LinkedIn is already one of the most cited platforms in AI-generated answers. That is still early.
Founders posting industry observations, customer insights, and operational thinking while integrating their startup are building searchable authority. So if they write around a certain problem consistently and someone asks AI about that, they'll refer your profile/post when it comes to recommending.
Most people assume content disappears after 48 hours. Good positioning compounds for years.
> DISTRIBUTION : When you eventually launch a product, a service, or a hiring campaign, you either own attention or you start from zero.
People trust faces faster than products. In crowded markets, that trust makes decisions. When you start promoting it via your personal brand, you already have distribution ready.
The founders building this now are not "just posting."
They are building long-term infrastructure while most others still treat it as optional.
I am a 25-year-old LinkedIn personal branding strategist. Been in social media for 3+ years and freelancing full-time since mid-Feb.
Since then, I have:
The profile looks much stronger now and engagement has improved too.
But somehow my SSI score is still stuck and honestly it’s frustrating.
Curious if anyone else here has dealt with this before or figured out what actually moves SSI consistently?
Happy to send SS and Link to my profile on the DMs as sub does'nt really post images or links.
Hey everyone, 25M here.
Currently in my hometown, but planning to move to Pune by July. Didn’t want to miss the monsoon + Ganpati season there.
I’ve been hearing that apart from cities like Delhi and Bangalore, Pune is slowly building a strong freelancing and creator culture too.
Wanted to know how true is that?
Also looking to meet new people, make friends, and hang out once I move. Feel free to DM.
Brownie points if you’re into digital marketing :)
