My 5,000 LinkedIn followers are almost all Japanese. How do I start posting in English?

by•

It's been about a month since I started posting as a founder in English. Blog posts go to and Indie Hackers, and I post on X, Threads, Instagram and Facebook too. The one I'm stuck on is LinkedIn.

I've always posted there in Japanese, and I have around 5,000 followers, but almost no connections in the English-speaking world. LinkedIn isn't that big in Japan, and a lot of people here aren't comfortable with English. If I suddenly switched to English, I think a lot of my existing connections would just tune out.

I thought about a separate account just for English, but it looks like LinkedIn only allows one account per person. If they built in auto-translation the way X has, the language barrier would mostly go away.

Anyone else dealing with this? How did you handle it?
