Sahil Bloom headlines the profile "NYT Bestselling Author | Entrepreneur | Investor" and lists one company, Wild Roman, as founder. At MagicPost, we analyzed 830 of Bloom's LinkedIn posts from the last two years: topics, timing, engagement, style and the stories behind them.
The median post earned 1,398 likes in 2026, up 76% on 2025. And Bloom's two most-used emojis, a recycling arrow and a pushpin, both live in one footer, the sign-off our style sample finds on 28 posts out of 30.
Sahil Bloom's story, in Bloom's own posts
Bloom's story comes with dates and numbers attached: a start month, copies sold, marathon splits.
The start. "When I started writing in May 2020, there was no path, there was no plan, there was no strategy." A month later: "5 years from writing my first tweet on my garage floor to talking about my NYT bestselling book on The TODAY Show..."
The book. On a 34th birthday, Bloom wrote of ideas "I've worked on in the dark for the last three years." A 2025 post names the result: "my NYT bestselling book, The 5 Types of Wealth."
Six months after release, the scorecard read "300,000+ copies sold around the world," "30+ translations published," and "Instant NYT, USA Today, Sunday Times bestseller."
The receipts. Running is where the brand gets tested in public. A track marathon in May 2026, "105.5 continuous laps," finished in 2:56:16 under one rule: "You can't TALK about it if you're not gonna BE about it."
In September came a DNF at mile 21.45 ("Executed hydration very poorly."). The following weekend, Bloom drove back to the course alone and ran 2:48:47: "when I say I'm going to do something, I do it."
The family on the page. Three scenes from the posts:
A father who is "70 now" and a game of catch after years without one.
Parents visiting on a Saturday to play with Bloom's son.
A grandmother's life stories turned into a family book, shared so readers would do the same for their elders.
The closing offer has a history of its own. Three 2025 book posts end the same way: email your receipt, get a "50+ page companion workbook." A fourth promises "some special bonuses."
From late 2025, that closing offer becomes a footer: a repost request, then a free PDF ("1,000 Years of Relationship Advice," "20 Questions That Changed My Life," "Decision-Making Razors") and "join 800,000+ who get my newsletter."
What does Sahil Bloom post about?
The feed spreads across three near-equal pillars: coaching (130 posts), leadership (122) and entrepreneurship (116), with psychology (94) and personal development (82) behind. The payoff is far from equal:
Leadership earns 1,513 median likes, against 1,013 for the whole feed.
Management (1,437), personal branding (1,385) and psychology (1,330) also beat the median.
Entrepreneurship, the middle word of the headline, is the weakest theme at 652.
Coaching, the most frequent theme, sits at 804.
The audience pays most for lessons on leading and thinking, and least for business-building.
By register, the largest single bucket is punchy standalone advice (260 posts). Yet 366 posts carry an offer, more than the advice bucket: selling through value (175), lead magnets (100), launch announcements (62) and webinar sign-ups (29).
In the 2026 posts we hold, the offer sits below the lesson, in the footer, so the feed rarely reads as an ad.
Who Sahil Bloom writes for
The reader is named in the posts: "to anyone out there who has a story to tell", and to anyone who knows "that feeling where you're constantly busy but not actually getting anywhere."
The mission line gives the frame: "A movement to redefine success. To reject the default and live by design."
In 2026 the circle widens to parents: "I believe the greatest gift you can give your kids is a calm home." The book, the newsletter and the free PDFs serve that same reader.
Sahil Bloom's best posts of 2026
Bloom's top three of 2026 so far, as captured in our data (the originals are linked; browse 2M+ posts like these in MagicPost):
7,829 likes. A gratitude post that ends on an order ("Go send the message."). The reader leaves with a task that takes "five minutes," which is also what pulled 547 comments.
6,248 likes. Seven commands of four words or fewer. The body runs 36 words, the footer 41, so the sign-off is longer than the post. It drew 691 comments, the most of the four biggest 2026 posts.
5,442 likes. Three denials, then one word: "Not slow. Not lazy. Not indecisive. Deliberate." The post names a trait readers can claim for themselves.
Look at the second lines. "(Have they heard from you lately?)" and "(And it's costing you everything)" sit in parentheses under the hook, as does the fourth-biggest 2026 post in our data: "(Worth more than any job will pay you.)"
That aside raises the stakes before the reader decides to expand the post.
Is Sahil Bloom still growing on LinkedIn?
Yes, and steeply. The median post went from 630 likes in 2024 to 793 in 2025, then 1,398 in 2026, a 76% jump in one year, on 357 posts so far in 2026.
Two caveats. 2024 is the thinnest year in our data (61 posts). And we measure engagement, not followers over time: this is how hard the posts hit, not audience size.
Our 2026 rankings place Bloom #11 in thought leadership, management, personal development and personal branding, #12 in mental health and #14 in wellness.
Where do these charts come from? Everything on this page runs on MagicPost's LinkedIn analytics, and it works on your profile too: your best posts, your audience, your benchmark, even a side-by-side with creators like Sahil Bloom.
How Sahil Bloom writes
Metric (per post) | Sahil Bloom | Average creator* |
Words | 131 | 184 |
Words in the hook | 7 | 11 |
Words per paragraph | 12 | 13 |
Words per sentence | 9 | 10 |
Emojis | 1 | 2 |
Exclamation marks | 1 | 1 |
Posts with hashtags | 0% | 0% |
Hooks built on numbers | 14% | 22% |
*Median across the 3,471 creator profiles in our benchmark.
Read the middle rows first. At 9 words per sentence and 12 per paragraph, Bloom's lines are almost exactly average. The brevity comes from having fewer lines: 131 words against 184, footer included.
The hook is where the cutting happens: 7 words against 11, rarely a number (14%) or a question (2%). Bloom opens on a flat statement ("Nobody talks about being boring.") and lets the parenthetical line sell it.
Zero bold, zero hashtags. In one word, our system calls the style punchy, and the tone optimistic.
The "AI tells" in Sahil Bloom's style (read this the right way)
Two of the patterns people now call "AI tells" are Bloom signatures:
The sign-off appears in 28 of 30 sampled posts (93%), a device readers often list among the signs of AI writing. One post in three uses the contrast formula: "Speed is not the same as progress," or "You don't need passion, you need energy."
A tenth use the announcing opener that flags a reveal with a colon, and advice frames show up in about one post in six.
AI picked these moves up from writers like Bloom. Generic models trained on the most-read creators of this platform, then stacked every move in every post. Bloom gives the sign-off a fixed place and lands the contrast once, where the lesson turns.
The zeros make the case. Bloom never hedges, never opens a line with a transition word, and never ends on a closing question, on a feed with a median of 259 comments per post. The footer asks for a repost, and readers comment anyway.
When does Sahil Bloom post on LinkedIn?
Bloom publishes about 8 times a week, favorite slot Friday 8 AM US Eastern, with 73% of posts in the morning and 26% on weekends. The morning bias matches our US timing data, and eight a week sits at the high end of our posting-frequency study.
With a median of 259 comments per post, the threads fill fast; an engagement feed shows each new Bloom post the day it lands.
What to steal from Sahil Bloom
Give the footer a job. 28 posts in 30 close the same way; only the PDF rotates.
Teach the human lesson. Leadership earns 1,513 median likes, entrepreneurship 652: more than double, same audience.
Put a parenthetical line under the hook. Three of the four biggest 2026 posts do it.
Cut lines, keep sentences whole. Sentences sit near average at 9 words; posts run 131, far below.
Keep the receipts. "If I say something, I've got receipts that I live by it." The marathons prove the advice.
