Steal from Juan Carlos Badillo, JD, MBA
  • The party-list post: name every lender, sponsor, and advisor in a closed deal. It turns one transaction into a post that 12 people want to share.
  • The policy paradox hook: '[Country] opens the door. But does it on its own terms.' Two facts in tension, zero hype, immediate credibility.
  • The balanced signal structure: 'Hay señales positivas: [list]. También hay límites evidentes: [list].' It reads as analysis, not cheerleading, which is why it gets reposts.
Sakshi TyagiPick Sakshi Tyagi if…

  • You are willing to post 15+ times per week and want a model for sustaining that cadence without burning out your audience.
Steal from Sakshi Tyagi
  • The specific-number anchor hook: '1,521 days ago' outperformed every other hook in the dataset at 580 engagements. Pick a real number from your own timeline and open with it.
  • The age progression arc: Age 18, Age 19, Age 20 as a structure compresses years of story into six lines and forces the reader to keep scrolling to see the outcome.
  • The closing 'Agree?' question: one word, conversational, not rhetorical. It is the simplest comment-driver in the dataset and it costs nothing to add.
The real lesson

These two creators prove that LinkedIn rewards specificity over generality, but in completely different ways. Badillo gets reposts because he names real deals, real people, and real policy constraints that a small audience cannot find anywhere else. Tyagi gets comments because she names real numbers from her own life that a large audience can map onto their own. The mistake most creators make is posting general observations that nobody needs to save and nobody needs to respond to. Pick one thing you know that your specific reader cannot Google, then build every post around proving you actually know it.
