Hey, friends,

Last week I crossed 50,000 followers on LinkedIn.

Wild.

To celebrate, I’m offering 50% off my Spark Your LinkedIn Strategy Masterclass—but only for the next 24 hours.

This is the first time I’ve ever offered a discount. And I won’t be doing it again. [This class sells out 100% of the time without a discount.]

If you want in, just reply to this email within 24 hours and I’ll send you the exclusive 50% off code.

Now, let’s talk about how I actually got here ...

“It’s not about the numbers.”

And ... it’s really not.

I sold at 3K followers.
That’s where I was when I started my third attempt at LinkedIn.

Yep—third.
I quit in 2021.
Quit again in 2022.
And finally cracked the code in 2023.

I’m still learning every day. But if you’re curious how I grew 47K followers—here are the 6 systems that finally worked:


1. Personal Brand System

  • I got clear on what made me different—and embraced it.

  • You already have a brand. Own it. Heck, exploit it.

2. Profile System

  • Banner, headline, and links work together.

  • A strong Featured section is non-negotiable.

  • One consistent CTA throughout.

3. Content System

  • I batch-write and schedule posts.

  • Best-performing content falls into 5 buckets:
    Past career | Personal life | Current career | Brand POV | LinkedIn reflections

4. Post System

  • Each post needs 6 assets:
    Hook, Body, Summary, Call to Engagement, Call to Action, Attachment.

5. Engagement System

  • Comment strategy = longevity.

  • I made A/B/C lists:
    A = every day
    B = every other day
    C = outbound comments to ideal clients

6. Scale System

  • DMs changed the game.
    Profile viewers → DMed
    Engagers → DMed
    2nd/3rd degree connects → DMed


I know—it sounds like a lot.
But systems are designed to make the hard things simple.

LinkedIn lives on my calendar now.
It’s part of my job—because it doubled my income.

I'm thankful for that.
But more thankful that you read even a single word I write.

Here’s to 50K+.
And helping more people win.

Reply to this email in the next 24 hours and I’ll send you a 50% off code to celebrate this milestone with me.

Let’s make your next 50K count.

P.S. Which system do you need the most help with right now? Hit reply and let me know—I might point you to a resource.

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...
LinkedIn™ is judging you. [Here's how to pass!]
For years, people thought they had LinkedIn figured out. More likes = more reach.More comments = better distribution.Post at the perfect time = algorithm boost. The whole strategy revolved around sending the right signals. If you could get enough engagement quickly, the algorithm would push your post further. And for a long time, that understanding wasn’t entirely wrong. But LinkedInchanged how...
