I drive engagement and growth through content, relationships, and branding | GTM | Digital marketer | Content creator | Community builder | Storyteller | Personal brand strategist | World traveler and obsessed dog mom 🐶

Hi, I’m Angela!👋🏻 I’ve been a writer for as long as I could hold a pencil. I’m happiest when I’m building relationships, empowering others, or cuddling with my dog, Elle Jae. I’ve explored 33 countries so far and am always planning my next adventure.✈️

My LinkedIn journey began in 2022 when I was looking for a career change. In just 6 months, I grew an organic following of 15,000, and within 3 years I had built a community of 50,000. My personal brand opened countless doors and ultimately gave me the confidence to leave corporate life and launch my own business in the summer of 2025.🥳

I started my career in education, teaching for 8 years and even helping establish an international school in the Netherlands, where I lived for 2 years. From there, I pivoted into tech, spending 3 years in various B2B SaaS marketing roles before taking the leap into entrepreneurship.

Now I help founders, executives, and small business owners turn LinkedIn into a growth engine by building authority, thought leadership, and visibility to scale their businesses.📈

LinkedIn changed my life. Today, I pay it forward by helping business leaders build their own brands rooted in storytelling and relationships through 1:1 coaching, ghostwriting, and team workshops.

No alternative text description for this image

I’m 34, single, no kids.
Living in Charlotte with my dog.

And I work from home running my own business.

I’m a personal brand strategist, LinkedIn coach, and executive ghostwriter. I also create content for brand collaborations and train teams on LinkedIn and the power of personal branding.

I'm a solopreneur.🙋🏻‍♀️
I work 1:1 with all my clients.

I personally consult with and write for each one. Nothing gets delegated and no one gets passed off to someone else. When you work with me, you actually work with me.

And I love it. Because I've built something that's completely MINE.

Every client relationship, every piece of content, every strategy session has my fingerprints all over it.

That matters to me.

I have zero interest in scaling for the sake of it or building a team because that's what entrepreneurs are "supposed" to do.

I'm not building an empire. I'm building a life that I actually WANT to live.

To me, that’s what success and “making it” are all about.

2026 is my first full year in business. And I’m all in!! I’m so excited for what’s ahead.

Thank you for being part of my journey!🥹

And if you're curious about working together, shoot me a DM!

A few weeks ago, I thought I’d be lucky to make $75,000 in my first year of business.💰

But I ran the numbers again today, and realized that I may very well hit 6 figures if things keep going the way they have been.🥹

And that possibility just blows my mind.
It’s absolutely wiiiiild to me.

Especially as someone who left teaching with a master’s degree and 8 years’ experience earning $65K.

Who knew I could start my own business, work from home, and make a WHOLE LOT more?

✅ Fewer hours worked. No children talking back to you. No commute. More sleep.

When I switched careers, I broke into tech and increased my salary by 85%.

I then took a pay cut at my most recent director-level role, making $90K/year and working well over 50 hours a week. I was leading a team of 4.

I cried more than a couple of times in that role.

Now, I report to myself. Have no team to lead. Work when I want to work. No crying. 

…and most likely more money? UNREAL.🤯

I’ll run the numbers again in a few weeks, but just knowing this is possible is game-changing for me.

Because when I launched my own business less than 6 months ago, I had no idea how it would work out.

I wasn’t sure if it would work. If I could make real money. If I could scale it.

I told myself I’d give it 6 months and if it was failing, I’d call it quits and search for a W2 job.

Instead, I’m exceeding my own expectations. And I hit the 6-month mark tomorrow!

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this post, it’s this: have wild expectations.

Then, SMASH them.🔥

Backstreet Boys at the Sphere concert ticket: $471
Flights to and from Vegas: $419
Hotel on the Strip: $153

Time-traveling back to the Millennium and feeling like a kid again for one night: PRICELESS🥹

Sooooo stoked for tonight!!!
(Drop your favorite BSB song below!)🎶

I’ve been keeping a pretty big secret.🤫 
But it’s about time I spill it.

I'm officially breaking up with the corporate world.💔

I’m betting on myself instead.

👆🏻I posted that message 24 weeks ago when I launched my new business, Angela Snyder Consulting.

I CANNOT believe how fast time has flown.
February 25th will be 6 months!🤯 

I started on LinkedIn 4 years ago and it’s completely changed my life.

What started as “let me just give this a try” turned into career opportunities, brand partnerships, speaking invites, and a business I get to run on my terms.

Now, I’m a LinkedIn coach and personal brand strategist helping founders, entrepreneurs, and execs grow their visibility and authority here on LinkedIn.

If you’ve followed along, supported, commented, shared, referred, or trusted me to help with your brand: thank you. Truly.

And if building your personal brand on LinkedIn is on your 2026 goals list, my DMs are open.

Let’s start building.✨

Personal branding shouldn’t be treated like a nice-to-have. Because being good at what you do is no longer enough.🤷🏻‍♀️

In 2026, if you want to build trust, differentiate, and drive real growth, your personal brand isn’t optional. It’s a must-have.

The data is super clear:
✅ 74% of Americans are more likely to trust someone with an established personal brand ✅ 73% trust thought leadership more than traditional marketing ✅ Companies with visible founders see 25% more revenue growth

Trust is built by people. Not logos.
I talk about this alllll the time.

You need to build a relationship with your audience. You need to position yourself as the expert in your space.

Yet so many founders and executives I talk to are quiet online. Silent, even.

They’re smart. They’ve built legitimate businesses.
They have real insights and expertise.
 But they don’t talk about it. Instead, they just pay for Facebook ads.🫠

You don’t need to become an influencer or full-time content creator.

But you DO need to become clear.

Clear on what you offer.
Clear on what you believe. Clear on what you stand for. Clear on the conversations you want to lead.

LinkedIn is all about building trust at scale, and in a way that reflects the leader you already are. The person you are.

When done strategically, LinkedIn becomes:
📈 A lead engine 🧱 A credibility builder 🧲 A magnet for partnerships, clients, speaking gigs, and top talent

This is the work I do every single day with founders, executives, and teams.

Visibility is credibility.

Your story matters. And your story can drive real results.

But it’s up to you to tell it.📣

Since launching my business 6 months ago, I’ve had 3 people interrupt me to give me “advice.”🙄

Actually, since launching my business 6 months ago, I’ve had 3 men interrupt me to mansplain.

Whoops — what I meant to say is that since launching my business 6 months ago, I’ve had 3 men I’d never in a million years buy from mansplain how I should “sell” my offerings.

Unsolicited. While in mid-sentence. And in a condescending manner.

It baffled me each time. And then I asked myself, “Why would I ever take business advice from someone I’d never buy from?”

I didn’t like their sales strategy. I didn’t like their demeanor. I didn’t like the way they spoke or carried themselves. Honestly, I didn’t trust or like them.

And I don’t want to be like that.

My priority is building relationships and being myself. That’s it.

I will always be honest, transparent, and kind. I’m not going to push an upsell or recommend something I don’t genuinely believe benefits you.

I want people to work with me because they trust me.

Because they believe in me. Because they respect me. Because they feel heard.

Yes, I’ll lay out all your options and answer your questions. 
No, I won’t recite an elevator pitch or regurgitate the same script I gave the last prospect.

That’s just not who I am. And it’s not how I operate.

Have you ever heard the saying, “I’ve never been disliked by someone I’d want to trade places with”?

It’s the same concept here. Don’t take business advice from someone you wouldn’t want to do business with.🤷🏻‍♀️

And maybe… stop interrupting women.

I generated over 2,000,000 impressions and reached 735,000 people in 2025.

I didn't post every single day. I didn't post at the same exact time each day.

I posted when stories and ideas popped into my head. I posted if I thought it would resonate with my audience. I only posted if I felt I was adding value in some way.

Some weeks, I wouldn't post at all. Some weeks, I'd post once or twice. Other weeks, I'd post a lot.

It depends on what comes to my mind and what feels natural. But I know it doesn't come easy or feel natural to everyone.

There's pressure to follow all the "rules": post daily, optimize your timing, stick to a content calendar, batch your content weeks in advance.

But quality beats quantity every time.
And sustainable beats burnout.

If posting every day works for you, great. If it doesn't, that's fine too. Find what does.

This is the approach I take with my own content, and it's the same philosophy I bring when helping my clients find their voice on LinkedIn.

At the end of the day, your best content comes from showing up as yourself. Anything on top of that is just a bonus.🎉

6 months ago, I launched my own business.
On August 25, 2025.🗓️

And I’m a big believer in building in public.
So here goes nothing!👇

4 years ago, I was just getting started on LinkedIn. I had less than 500 connections, an outdated profile, and NO IDEA what I was doing.😅

But I was determined to leave teaching and start a new career. So I did. 

I built my personal brand from scratch and it completely changed my life:
→ Grew to 15K followers organically in 6 months (54K+ in 4 years)
→ Landed 3 full-time job offers within 100 days of quitting teaching
→ Secured freelance work, podcast features, speaking gigs, and paid brand partnerships

Now, I’m running my own business with all inbound clients:
✔️ 7 speaking engagements
✔️ $33,000 in revenue
✔️ 3 live brand deals
✔️ 18 clients

If you would’ve told me a year ago that I’d be an entrepreneur, I would’ve said “nah.”

Looking forward to the next 6 months.
Anything is possible.

Thank you all soooo much for your support!!!🥹

Hey, I'm Angela👋🏻 I help founders and entrepreneurs grow their visibility, authority, and revenue on LinkedIn!

Last week, I paid someone to do something I probably could’ve done myself.😅

My taxes.

Normally, I just file them myself using TurboTax. Easy.

But 2025 was a little different.

I worked a W2 job for the first 7 months of the year… and then launched my own business at the end of August.

So I figured it was worth getting some professional help this time around. I’d hate to mess something up and then get audited.🫠

Sure, I probably could have still filed them myself. But I’m really glad I didn’t.

Because the CPA didn’t just file my taxes.

We talked about small business finances and best practices. He answered a lot of questions I didn’t even know I should be asking yet.

And that alone made it worth the investment.

Sometimes you’re not paying for someone to do something you can’t do. You’re paying for their experience, perspective, and guidance.

So this week I’m making a couple of big moves:
• Changing my tax status from sole proprietorship to S-Corp (woooo!🥳) • Moving off spreadsheets and onto actual accounting software (guess I’m a real business owner now)

2026 is my first full year in business.🤩

And while it’s a little scary living in the unknown and not knowing exactly how much revenue you’ll make…

It’s also REALLY exciting.

I want to see just how far I can take this.👀

Entrepreneurs: what’s one thing you finally outsourced that you wish you had done sooner?

Absolutely no one:
8-year-old me: SHOW ME THE MEANING OF BEING LONELYYYYY📣

I attended a millennial mega church last week.
Consider my inner child healed.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be rewatching all the videos I took of the Backstreet Boys at the sphere until further notice.✌🏻

I started getting active on LinkedIn in 2022.
I had no idea what I was doing.😅

What started as “let me just give this a try” turned into career opportunities, brand partnerships, speaking invites, and even entrepreneurship.

4 years later, I’m a LinkedIn coach and personal brand strategist helping founders, entrepreneurs, and execs grow their visibility and authority on LinkedIn.

And I’m running my business on👏my👏own👏terms.👏

If you’ve followed along, supported, commented, shared, referred, or trusted me to help with your brand: THANK YOU.🥹

And if you’re interested in building your personal brand on LinkedIn, shoot me a message!

It’s never too late to start.💫
(I mean it!)

Here’s something I don’t see anyone talk about on LinkedIn.

But I know I’m not alone in this:

The fear of your company doing well.

Not because you don’t want to be successful. Not because you don’t want the clients. Not because you don’t want the freedom.

You want all of those things, so much. You really want to grow your business. You’re excited when you land a new client.

But, deep down, you’re scared of failure. You’re scared of something (or everything) going wrong. You’re scared you may in fact be an imposter (you’re not). 

So you procrastinate and put things off. You may even be tempted to self-sabotage before success ever gets the chance to prove you wrong.

You hold back. You underprice your services. You tell yourself you're "not ready yet" even though you absolutely are.

Because if you don't really try, you can't really fail.

But that fear doesn't go away when you hit your first milestone. Or your tenth. It just shapeshifts.

As an entrepreneur, you'll always feel a certain level of fear or uncertainty. The question is whether you'll let fear make your decisions.

Your business deserves better than to be held hostage by "what if."

And so do you!

Starting is the hardest part. Then, I hope you give yourself permission to actually succeed.

The clients are out there.
The opportunities are waiting.
And you're more ready than you think.🙌

I’ve been running my own business for 6 months now, and I’ve just realized something.🫠

I’ve been deep in the weeds.
In the trenches.

Not in a noticeable, dramatic way. But in a quiet, sneaky way.

The kind where I’m:
📈 Keeping track of leads in a spreadsheet
✍️ Writing every single follow-up email manually
🛞 Re-creating the same processes over and over again

I was a teacher for 8 years. A B2B marketer for 3 years.

So I believe in data. I believe in personalization. I believe in working smarter.

And yet… as a solopreneur, I somehow found myself doing everything the hard way again.😅

When you’re running your own business, execution creeps in fast. You blink and suddenly you’re buried in endless tabs and spreadsheets (SOS).

You’re busy, but not always moving the needle. Sometimes it feels like you’re just playing catch-up.

That’s what being “in the weeds” has looked like for me.
So I’ve decided it’s time to get out of them.👀

I recently started exploring ActiveCampaign, and what immediately caught my attention was the idea of automating the automation.

Instead of constantly writing emails and tracking leads manually, the platform helps do A LOT of that work for you. 

The Active Intelligence feature builds campaigns, automations, or segments for you. No need to start from scratch.

It’s still early days for me. I’m still building and learning.

But for the first time since launching my company, I can see a path where I spend less time buried in minute tasks and more time thinking strategically about growth.

If you’re a marketer or founder who feels stuck maintaining systems instead of building momentum, you might relate.🙃

I'll share the link here in case you want to poke around too: https://lnkd.in/e4DNe68u

More to come.🌿 #ActiveCampaignPartner

"There are decades where nothing happens and then there are days where decades happen."

My story begins when I had just $60 in my bank account. I didn't have any savings stashed away. No 401k to fall back on. Just broke and jobless.

That day I went down to Uber in downtown San Francisco and signed up to be a driver. For the next 9 months I drove Uber from 6am-12pm and then job searched from 12pm-5pm every single day.

I didn't land a job for 9 months. It wasn't the bad economy or the ATS, it was because I was doing what everyone else does: Updating my resume over and over again. Messaging people on LinkedIn.  Sending 100 applications a week.

Eventually I decided to do something different. 

I messaged every friend of mine who was a recruiter. Not to ask for a job, but to ask for advice.

I was shocked at what they told me. 

"I only spend 10 seconds reading a resume. How long is your resume? 850 words? That's too long. Cut it down to 450."

After a few weeks of listening to them and applying their advice I started landing interviews & jobs.
That first job search took me 14 months.
The next job search took me 4 months.
The next job search took me 3 weeks.

Sr. Content Marketing Manager

Aurora is the #1 software to design and sell advanced solar systems.

I wasted 3 months of my job search.

I made my resume "perfect." I applied on LinkedIn. I made sure I was qualified.

What I didn't know was that I was actually holding myself back.

After 250 applications and 0 interviews...I stopped.

🤔 I started doing research instead 

Here are the top 5 job search trends that finally unlocked interviews for me:


1️⃣ TIMING > QUALITY
This was a very surprising one. A study found that 90% of candidates who landed interviews had applied within 24-48 hours of the job being posted.

💡I started applying within 24 hours. I landed 2 interviews that week!


2️⃣ LINKEDIN > RESUME
78% of recruiters use LinkedIn to actively recruit and many say they prefer your LinkedIn profile over your resume.

💡I rewrote my LinkedIn profile to tell my full story. My interview rate went up by an additional 2%.


3️⃣ SHORTER RESUMES
Another study found that 350-550 word resumes land the most interviews (even for candidates with 15+ years experience).

💡I reduced my resume to 427 words and...yup you guessed it, more interviews started rolling in!


4️⃣ TITLE MATCH
A study found that the single biggest factor that boosted interview rates (by 10.6x!) was whether the titles on the resume matched the title on the job description.

💡I added a "Target Title" to the top of my resume and matched it exactly to the job. 


5️⃣ WHERE YOU APPLY
Lastly, a study found that where you apply has a huge effect on your interview rate. Reply rates were as follows:
 ↳ Google Jobs 9.3%
 ↳ Glassdoor 7.3%
 ↳ GovermentJobs 6.6%
 ↳ Wellfound 6.4%
 ↳ Indeed 4.7%
 ↳ Welcometothejungle 4.6%
 ↳ LinkedIn 3.3%
 ↳ BuiltIn 2.2%

(shout out to Sam Wright for putting this one together!)

☝ The big takeaway from all this?

How you APPLY is more important than how qualified you are.

The good news?

None of this stuff is hard to do. If you've been struggling to land interviews, try making some of these changes. 

Your next interview may be closer than you think! 😊 



_______
P.S. If you'd like more info on these tactics, I'll be doing a free workshop this week where I do a deep dive. Just give my profile a follow and I'll post the invite here shortly.

P.P.S. Did any of these surprise you? If so which one?
