Do personal posts still work on linkedin?

i still see personal posts working but only when they feel relatable or spark discussion. pure story style posts without a clear hook or takeaway do not seem to get much reach compared to before. mixed content usually performs better now.

Honestly, it feels like LinkedIn has shifted more toward professional and useful content, which may be why informational posts are doing better.
 
You're not alone—I’ve noticed that too.
Useful posts that spark conversations seem to travel further than personal updates lately.

i have been trying both personal style posts and informational posts on linkedin.
informational ones get some views but personal do not seem to get much reach anymore.
is is just me or has linkedin changed how it pushes content?

It's not you only, however, if people don't interact with your personal style posts, you need to give them more value.

It is something that I have seen too. Personal posts have always worked for me as well as long as there is an actual experience nd a lesson behind it. The posts which just update somethiing do not catch much attention however those who educate people or help them somehow mannage to do better.

personal posts still work but they usually need a real story or opinion behind them. just sharing generic updates will not get much attention anymore from my experience.
 
Personal posts aren't doing as well lately for sure. There seems to be a sweet spot where posts are relatable enough, but also definitely industry focused. I might be imagining it but there are a lot less picture based posts on my feed this week as well.
 
Yes. In my experience, personal stories still get good reach when they provide a useful lesson or spark meaningful discussions, not just personal updates.
 
yeah i think I've noticed the same because informational posts seem to get better reach now and i think linkedIn is focusing more on content that provides value and not just personal updates and i still mix both types and see what works the best.
 
Personal posts are great, but I feel like the format counts for a lot more. It is very easy for just a regular post about what has happened to you to be overlooked, but a personal story that ends with a valuable lesson would definitely get noticed more.
Reach does vary from post to post, so I would try out different angles rather than giving up on personal posts.
 
I've noticed the same. Informational posts seem to get more consistent reach now. Personal posts still work, but only if they tell a genuine story or spark discussion instead of just sharing an update.

i have experienced this as well. linkedIn seems to like the kind of content that keeps readers engaged nd initiates conversation. hence posts conttaining advice or suggestions always outdo others. personal posts can also generate interest but only if there is a message for other users to understand. otherwise updates are ignored.
 
Make it click worthy, hook your audience from the very first line., make your personal content relatable to the audience. Then it will have some tractions, and linkedin will push further. otherwise it will just go waste.
 
With personal posts, YMMV. It depends on what the post is exactly and whether people actually have a reason to engage with it.
A personal story with a useful story could do better than the tired old "what I learned from x" post but some people like the directness of it. Then again, a post with genuinely insightful info can outdo both.
It'll really come down to relevance and engagement instead of whether it's a personal post or not.
