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!

The Uncomfortable Answer to "How Do I Grow on LinkedIn?"
"How do I get more profile views?" The answer is one word. Work. Nobody wants to hear it. Everyone wants the hack, the hook formula, the AI prompt, the posting time that magically unlocks the algorithm. I get it. We're all busy. That's the nature of life. I've got 3 kids, 4 cats, and a husband. (Not listed in order of priority… maybe.) So when I say "work," I don't mean grind yourself into the ...
You don't have a content problem. Sort of.
LinkedIn is a long game. But the algorithm isn’t. Most people understand the first part. Very few understand the second. LinkedIn feels like a compounding platform. You build an audience, you stay consistent, and over time your content starts to work for you. That part is true. But under the hood, the system operates very differently. LinkedIn’s feed only actively retrieves content from roughly...
Become a better writer in 3 simple steps.
3 ways to become a better writer [each one takes under 90 seconds to learn]. 1. Read your writing out loud. Your ear catches what your eye misses. Clunky sentences, repeated words, and awkward phrasing all reveal themselves the moment you hear them. If you stumble reading it, your reader will too. This one habit alone will do more for your writing than any course, any book, or any amount of sta...
