Hard Truths About LinkedIn Writing

Feb 11, 2025

Hey!

When I first started on LinkedIn™ in 2021, I didn’t have much of a plan—just a self-made banner and a “post when I feel like it” approach. I didn’t have a clear offer beyond, “Hey, I’m a ghostwriter!” But even that bare-bones presence landed me six ghostwriting clients and two book projects.

By 2022, I knew I had to level up. I started following big creators, watching how they posted, and slowly implementing their strategies. The results were impressive: I replaced half of my income through LinkedIn™ work alone. But I was exhausted—working nonstop and burning out fast.

Then 2023 happened—the year I went all in. I rebranded my profile, hired a designer for professional visuals, built a Featured section, and posted every day at 8 a.m. sharp. I also created a consistent strategy by writing and scheduling my posts on Sunday nights. The outcome? 100% inbound leads, a waitlist of clients, and the transition from a side hustle to a thriving full-time business.

Now it’s 2024, and things keep getting better. I’ve been named to Favikon’s Top 200 Creator List and hosted two sold-out LinkedIn™ masterclasses. But I’m still experimenting, iterating, and learning—and having fun doing it.

Key takeaway: LinkedIn™ isn’t about quick wins. It’s a long game that rewards consistency and commitment. Your progress may feel slow, but every post, comment, and connection builds momentum.

What’s the next step in your LinkedIn™ journey? Let’s grow together!

10 lessons on writing...
I've been a writing for aliving for almost 20 years. Here are 10 things I've learned: 1. To be a "writer," the qualifications are simple: You write. 2. Writing well is hard. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been writing long enough. 3. You don't have to write linearly. If you know where you want to land, start with the last sentence ("punchline" or "reveal") and build around it. 4. Writing is t...
1 truth to accept about LinkedIn™...
One truth we should all accept about LinkedIn: You can post daily. You can post helpfully. You can post strategically. You can post aesthetically. You can follow all the LinkedIn-lebrities and do every single thing they tell you to do. ... and still not become "famous" on LinkedIn. It's not going to happen for everyone. Cold, hard facts.
