The roast
Richard claims he’s cracked the algorithm to help people turn visibility into revenue, which is impressive considering his 264,000 followers are currently netting him the same engagement rate as a dormant corporate HR account. He’s spent fifteen years analyzing the platform just to prove that if you talk enough about the void, you eventually become the furniture inside it.
About Richard
Spending hours on LinkedIn but not seeing clients? Your content getting lost in the algorithm? Your comments disappear in the void? Competing with 10,000 other "experts" saying the same things? Let me fix that for you. Send me a message or email richard@richardvanderblom.com WHO I AM I'm Richard van der Blom, Dutch living with my Argentinian wife and German doodle in Spain. Pearl Jam, Padel and Gin-Tonic lover. For 15 years, I've been obsessed with one question: what actually works on LinkedIn? Not theory. Not guesses. Data-backed strategy that turns visibility into revenue. I've trained over 350,000 professionals. I've worked with 1,000+ companies across every B2B sector. My clients closed over €10 million in deals in 2025 alone using the systems I built for them. I don't do surface-level tips. I run ongoing LinkedIn algorithm research, analyze millions of data points, and translate that into strategies entrepreneurs can execute without living on the platform. WHY WORK WITH ME Most LinkedIn "experts" regurgitate the same advice. I give you what 99.9% of them can't: data-driven insights before they become common knowledge. My Algorithm Insights Report is the industry standard—used by thought leaders, sales teams, and agencies worldwide. I've keynoted at 100+ events and been rated Best Speaker in over 80% of my engagements. But I'm not just a stage performer. I build LinkedIn systems that work in the real world—for busy entrepreneurs who need results, not busywork.

Your Company Page has 50,000 followers. Your intern's profile gets 3x the engagement. Still think you're winning?

The misconception killing corporate LinkedIn™ strategies right now: brands think they need to out-post profiles. More content. More formats. More variety. Wrong. Pages that win in 2026 do the opposite. They go deep on one format. They own one topical lane. They post with a consistent point of view, not a content calendar full of product u
