How a Toronto pharmacist went from 88 to 7,203 views per post on LinkedIn

If you have been telling yourself your field is too niche, too technical, or too boring for LinkedIn, here is the direct answer: you are probably wrong. The best example I have seen this year is a pharmacist.

Meet Alexandre Mihaila. He runs an online pharmacy in Toronto. Not a creator. Not a B2B SaaS founder selling a course. A pharmacist.

The numbers

Measured the way Oliver Baker's case was, with an equal sample of his posts before and after 2pr (not a cherry-picked viral hit):

• Average post before 2pr.io: 88 views
• Average post with 2pr.io: 7,203 views
• Up to 80x the reach
• Same person, same 1.9k followers

And this is not flattered by his best day. Even the conservative read of our analytics, taking every post before vs every post after 2pr, filler included, shows his average jumping from under 100 views to several thousand per post, with his strongest posts now landing 45,000 to 95,000+ impressions. (More on those below.)

He did not buy followers. He did not run ads. The audience size barely moved. The reach did.

He never pivoted to "LinkedIn-friendly" content

This is the part most people get wrong. They assume going from 88 to 7,000 views means abandoning what they actually know and chasing whatever is trending.

Alexandre did the opposite.

He kept writing about drug interactions. What Ozempic actually does in the body. Medication trends spreading on social platforms. Deep, technical, "nobody outside my field cares" topics.

They worked.

Because LinkedIn does not reward a job title or a trendy niche. It rewards real expertise, explained clearly, and shown up for consistently.

The gap was never the knowledge

His content was always this good. Almost nobody saw it.

The gap was never the expertise. It was turning what he knows into posts that actually land, on a schedule he could realistically keep. A pharmacist running a business does not have three hours a day to wrestle with a blank page.

That is the whole game, and it is exactly the problem we built 2pr.io to solve:

1. Pull the real expertise out of his head through a short interview, instead of asking him to stare at an empty editor.
2. Shape it into a post with a hook that earns the first few seconds of attention.
3. Keep him publishing on a cadence he can sustain, week after week.

The expertise was his. The tool just stopped it from staying invisible.

Why this matters if you are in a "complex" field

Doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, scientists, operators in unglamorous industries: the story you tell yourself is that LinkedIn is for personal-brand people and motivational founders, not for you.

Alexandre is proof that the depth is the advantage, not the obstacle. The feed is starved for people who genuinely know something and can explain it without jargon. If you have spent years getting good at something hard, that is exactly the raw material that travels.

The complex expertise you have been sitting on is not a liability. It is the asset.

3 posts that prove the point

All on deep, technical pharmacy topics. None of it "LinkedIn-friendly" filler. Impressions from our analytics:

• "PEPCID + ALLEGRA? The dangerous TikTok trend pharmacists should be panicking about." - May 15, 2026 - 96,909 impressions
• "Cheaper Ozempic is here. That is the easy part. The hard part is what nobody is saying." - May 29, 2026 - 55,303 impressions
• "74% lower odds of alcohol use disorder. The drug? Ozempic." - June 19, 2026 - 46,047 impressions

Drug interactions, Ozempic, medication safety. The exact "nobody outside my field cares" topics, now reaching tens of thousands.

FAQ

Did he get these results by changing his topics?

No. He kept writing about the same technical pharmacy topics: drug interactions, Ozempic, medication trends. The change was in how the ideas were turned into posts and how consistently he published, not in what he was talking about.

Did his follower count grow to drive the reach?

No. He stayed at roughly 1.9k followers. The jump from 88 to 7,203 average views came from reach per post, not from a bigger audience. On LinkedIn, the feed decides distribution, and follower count is only one small input.

Is my niche too technical for this to work?

Almost certainly not. A Toronto pharmacist writing about drug interactions is about as niche and technical as it gets, and it worked. The harder and more specific your expertise, the less competition there is for genuinely useful posts in that space.

What actually changed for him?

Two things: the friction of turning knowledge into a finished post dropped close to zero, and his publishing became consistent. Those two together are what move average reach, far more than any single "viral" trick.
