I’m honestly disgusted by the amount of scammers on LinkedIn right now.

This week alone, eight people messaged me saying:
“XYZ used you as a testimonial because you worked with them — would you recommend them?”

Let me be crystal clear:
These people are scam artists.

They’re operating unethical businesses, and they are using real founders’ names without consent to get credibility they haven’t earned.

It breaks my heart to say this but:
👉 Don’t believe testimonials being thrown around right now.
👉 Don’t believe name-drops unless you verify them.

The rebrand agencies…
The cookie-cutter lead gen “gurus”…
The ghost writers pumping out the same recycled content…

It’s all starting to look the same, read the same, and honestly?

It feels like churn, not connection.

Social media is losing the thing that made it powerful in the first place - authenticity, integrity, and real human relationship.

Since I got hacked and lost months of work, I’ve been rebuilding.

Posting consistently. 
Showing up. 
Creating real conversations.
Growing my network one meaningful connection at a time.

So please — if you ever see my name in someone’s pitch,
don’t believe it unless you hear it from me.

I’ll always tell you the truth.
And I’ll continue to stand for integrity, transparency, and real leadership in a space that desperately needs it.

I’d live to know what you think and where social media is heading…

Anyway this week I was in Dubai relaxing with my partner making plans for 2026 and I’m off to Miami on Wednesday to spend time with 50 more female founders - my last trip of 2025!

Wealth isn’t an event. And that’s exactly why most people never get it.

So you feel the pull… but you’re not moving.

You’re waiting. Pausing. Holding.

But sit with this for a moment:

Wealth is a process — not an event.

Freedom isn’t a moment — it’s a strategy.

You can tell yourself “it will come,”

You can set a date, buy the balloons, imagine the celebration…but you’ll only end up disappointed.

Because there is no magical day where you suddenly
got healthy,
got wealthy,
got happy.

It doesn’t happen in an instant.

It happens in a daily evolution of magnificence - steady growth, compounding momentum, micro-actions that build empires.

Promise yourself this:

70% of your time goes toward the growth that gets you to your goal.

Not long learnings.
Not busywork.
Not doing “all the things” because they feel productive.

Those things are nice to face… but they don’t move you.

They don’t build wealth.
They don’t build freedom.

Your ecosystem must be built on conscious growth,
not a wish.
Not a hope.
Not a someday.

Because the moment you stop waiting for an event and start living the process - everything changes.

So let’s get that process in flow — now.

Not when you finally feel ready.

Because in 90 days, if you commit to conscious growth instead of waiting for an event…

You’ll be richer.
You’ll be freer.
You’ll be happier.

And you’ll look back and realise this was the moment everything shifted.

Ready to step into your evolution?

Let’s chat today. 

DM me…
Worse case scenario, you’ll learn something about scaling strategy & millionaire mindset, best case you start living your dreams as reality!

My 4 Rules for December

1.	It’s not over until it’s over.

Yes, I slow down from the 22nd and take two full weeks off…but the magic begins on the 1st of December.

This is where the millionaires are made, in the quiet consistency before the world clocks out.

2.	Forecasting & Planning.

December is where I map out my entire year ahead, so my 2026 becomes nothing but clients, content, and cash.

When you have a system that brings leads in daily and monthly converts them with ease, everything shifts.

Your future feels lighter.

The numbers excite you.

The panic dissolves because you know cash will continue to flow.

You start showing up differently, because you’re already living the life of your 2036 self now.

3.	A goal is just a wish. A plan makes it reality.

My signature 90-minute Strategy Sessions deliver pure clarity, fast epiphanies, and immediate money-making momentum.

We’ll plug your profit drains, uncover your fast-cash opportunities, and create your Money Map, the blueprint to scaling to £100K+ months and beyond.

4.	December decides your destiny.

Don’t wait for January to “feel ready.”

Millionaires move now.

DM me the word MAP to book your Strategy Session.

Let’s set up your most profitable year yet.

Picture this: you walk into 2026 already sitting on £500K forecasted revenue, while everyone else is still scrambling through the January chaos trying to catch up.

November is the quiet power move month - the moment where Q1 is won or lost.

Lock in your model now and glide into the new year composed, intentional, and already ahead of the market.

Spend December in peace - not pressure.

Sip your champagne, enjoy the season, and smile while everyone else is in the frenzy of last-minute campaigns.

Let February be the month you expand with elegance, not exhaustion.

I don’t set resolutions - I architect evolutions.

Make the move now. 

Secure the freedom, the time, and the cash flow your future self is already thanking you for.

Future you is calling — time to reclaim your millionaire identity!

Three destinations.
Three transformations.
One year that will redefine who you are as a founder, a leader, and a creator of wealth.

Barbados. Marrakesh. Mauritius.

Barbados • March 16–21
The Visionary Reset - Start your year with clarity, confidence, and a 7-figure scaling strategy.

Marrakesh • Jun 22–26 
The Icon Era - Step boldly into your next level of power, visibility & wealth.

Mauritius • Sept 7–11 
The Legacy Expansion - Close your year with deep renewal and a long-term wealth plan.

Each retreat designed to unlock a different version of you - the visionary, the icon, the legacy-builder.

These retreats aren’t holidays.
They are recalibrations.

Immersions where clarity drops in, your power returns,
and life finally feels aligned with the founder you know you’re becoming.

Intimate groups, deep support, 1:1 coaching woven into every day…and connections that stretches far beyond the trip.

If your body is whispering “this is the year” — trust it.

Your next chapter is only one decision away.

Want the details?…our early bird and Black Friday offer e ds Sunday 30th…

Comment or DM “RETREAT” and I’ll send everything over.

Your elevation begins the moment you say yes.

“Most founders are sitting on a $1.6M asset… and don’t even see it.”

Most founders are sitting on a 7-figure asset…and still trading time for money.

We build licensing programmes for founders who want to turn their IP into a global network of certified partners.

This isn’t theory.

It’s a proven model that can generate $1.6M+ in licensing revenue within 36 months, with 1,600%–2,000% ROI — without ads, franchises, or bloated teams.

✔ High-margin recurring income
✔ Fast capital recovery (often 3–4 months)
✔ Authority positioning as the global standard
✔ Scalable impact without operational burnout

This is how founders stop selling time and start owning scalable assets.

DM LICENSE for details.

Hey, 
I’m someone who loves coffee a little too much, plans everything in advance… then procrastinates like a pro. 

I’m an introvert at first, but once we vibe, you might have to ask me to shut up. 

I help you build a brand that moves the needle beyond LinkedIn and turn it into REVENUE ENGINES.
I absolutely thrive on brainstorming, that’s when I feel the most like myself. 

I care deeply about fairness, especially for women and the LGBTQ+ community, and I get fired up when people are expected to ‘stay in their place.’ 
Comfort for me is ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ playing in the background, bhel in my hand, and the smell of coffee in the air. 

And yes, I say ‘I see’ way too often, usually when I’m lowkey zoning out.

I would loveeeee to be your marketing bestie!

Yesterday, a friend from my ex-job called me.


We joined the company at the same time.
He’s still there, promoted last year, but with just a 10% salary hike.

And every time he calls, he says the same thing:
"I don’t understand how to switch careers or land better roles."

At this point, I’ve stopped sugarcoating it.
Here’s what I keep telling him (and what most professionals still don’t get):

1️⃣ Visibility > Intelligence (in today’s market)
According to a study by LinkedIn & MIT Sloan, professionals with higher online visibility earn 15–25% more than peers with equal or greater skill levels.
Why? 
Because visibility builds trust before a resume ever lands on the table.

In simple terms, the world rewards what it can see.

You could be brilliant, but if no one knows about it, you’re invisible.
And invisible people don’t get opportunities.
So start building your personal brand because it's not just for online service providers - it's literally from anybody who wants to earn money.

-> Post about what you’re learning, not just what you’ve mastered.
-> Break down one insight from your daily work every week.
-> Comment thoughtfully on leaders in your industry, get seen where decisions are made.

2️⃣ Network like your salary depends on it. Because it does.
Your next job, client, or opportunity will probably come through a conversation, not a job portal.

How to start (without sounding desperate):
- Make a list of 10 people you admire in your field.
- Send a short message: 
“Hey [name], been following your work on X. Would love to learn from your journey, open to a quick chat this week?”
- Join niche WhatsApp or Slack groups where your peers hang out. Share value there.

Do that consistently for 90 days and your visibility and network will open doors your resume never could.

Moral:
The person who is seen gets paid more than the person who is smart but silent.
You don’t need to be the loudest.
You just need to be visible to the right people.

I’ve posted on LinkedIn almost every day for a year.

And for the longest time, I thought going viral was about the right hooks, timing, or engagement hacks.

I followed every “rule.”

Posted 3x a week.

Used proven templates.

Commented daily.

It worked, kind of.

People saw my content, but they didn’t remember it.

Then I started looking deeper at what made certain posts take off, not just mine, but others’.

And I realized something most creators completely miss:

People don’t just read your post. They feel your presence.

It’s not just the writing.

It’s how your pictures shows you.

How your words sound like you.

How your post feels like a human, not a headline.

When I stopped treating content like a task

and started showing up like a person 

looking into the camera, writing how I talk,

sharing my face, not just my thoughts 

that’s when everything changed.

Your visibility doesn’t come from viral templates.

It comes from presence, and most people skip that part.

Because people don’t want another post that “performs.”

They want to feel the person behind it.

P.S What do you think?

I have a shitty social life.


There, I said it.
My business makes up about 95% of my actual life.

The rest is me sleeping or watching TV with my husband.
I don’t call my friends.
I ignore their calls 70% of the time.
And when I visit home once a month… I carry my laptop.

I keep telling myself I’ll change it,
but honestly, I don’t want to.

Because I like how this life feels.
Yet deep down, I also know… it’s not healthy.

It’s weird, right?
To love your work this much and still know it’s kind of consuming you.
I’ve stopped forcing the idea of work-life balance.

Maybe some of us are just built differently,
the ones whose version of “balance” is going all-in on what we love,
and recharging quietly, not socially.

Still, it makes me wonder…
Is this passion or obsession?
And does it even matter if you’re happy living this way?

What do you think?

5 career lessons I wish I knew earlier (backed by experience):

1️⃣ Visibility beats intelligence, every time.
I’ve seen it, lived it, tested it.
You can be brilliant at what you do, but if no one knows it, you’ll be underpaid and overlooked.
Stop hiding behind your work.
Start building your personal brand: 
talk about your process, your wins, your insights.
In 2026, the most visible person wins, not the smartest one.

2️⃣ Top-of-funnel content brings likes, not leads.
I fell into this trap myself.
Views were up, dopamine was high, but sales were flat.
Your business needs viral posts but it also needs nurturing content that builds trust and shifts perspective.
Create content not just for the reach but for retention too. 

3️⃣ Rejection is a skill.
One of my DM managers once blocked me after being mocked for her English by a “coach.” 
That day I realised, most teams are trained to send messages, not handle rejection.
Teach your team (and yourself) to hear 100 NOs and keep going.
Every NO is a filter, not a failure.

4️⃣ Theory doesn’t build businesses. Execution does.
 My ex-coach taught me this the hard way- hours of theory, zero accountability.
That’s why I built programs that prioritise action, not consumption.
If you’re not implementing what you learn every week, you’re not learning, you’re hoarding information.

5️⃣ Build something that’ll survive without the algorithm.
Australia’s social media ban for under 16s might sound irrelevant, but it’s a preview of the future.
Algorithms will tighten. Platforms will change.
So ask yourself, if Instagram/LinkedIn disappeared tomorrow, would your business survive?
Start building owned assets now: email list, WhatsApp community, loyal base.

You don’t need perfect content, perfect English, or perfect timing.
You just need to keep showing up, keep executing, and keep being seen.
Because the internet doesn’t reward the best, it rewards the most consistent.

Your turn:
Which one of these 5 hit you hardest and which one do you secretly need to work on this month? 👇

I used to think being busy meant I was doing great.


The fuller my calendar, the more “in demand” I felt.

Calls back-to-back. DMs to reply to. Offers to tweak.

I’d end the day exhausted but secretly proud 

like my tiredness was proof I was doing something right!

But it wasn’t.

It was just proof that I was operating from fear.

Fear of slowing down.

Fear of missing out.

Fear that if I stopped for a day, everything I built would fall apart.

And the more I ran on that loop,

the less creative I became.

My ideas felt forced. My energy felt scattered.

I wasn’t growing my business anymore;

I was managing my burnout.

The truth is, you can’t build something sustainable from a place of survival.

Busy doesn’t mean successful.

It just means overbooked and under-connected.

Now I measure growth differently 

by how calm I feel while things are growing.

By how clearly I can think without rushing.

By how inspired I feel between client calls.

Because peace isn’t the reward for success.

It’s the foundation for it.

10 new clients. 4 new hires.


All in just 17 days of working in November.
Because after the 17th, my co-founder Shivani Verma and I went on a long vacation.

And somehow… the business still grew.

Here’s what November 2025 looked like 👇

📍 Business in November 2025
– Onboarded 10 amazing clients across:
 • 1:1 Business Coaching
 • Content to Cash Academy
 • Personal Branding for IG

– Expanded our team to 8 members
– Delivered my first-ever motivational speech as a speaker + business coach
– Closed the month at $12K revenue

📍 Life in 2025
- Played dress-up every day and attended 5 weddings across 3 cities
- Finally stepped out of my baniya zone and splurged during Black Friday like there was no tomorrow
- Went home for a week and spent slow, intentional time with my mom and my bestie visiting from the UK

Teledipity says December 2025 will be full of abundant opportunities…
and honestly, I’m ready for it. 💪🏻✨

P.S. What are you going to work on in the last month of 2025? 👇
Let’s manifest and execute together.

DEPPS 


You know what it is? 

It's my signature  formula that helps you crack your niche when you have multiple ideas or no clarity about your marketing message and positioning.

So let's understand what it is? 

D – Demand
Is there enough market demand for this idea?
Are people actively searching for it or paying for it?
You don’t want to be that guy selling sweaters in Chennai summer.

E – Experience
Do you have hands-on experience with this?
You can’t coach people on something you’ve only read about.

P – Passion
Would you still enjoy doing this if it didn’t pay you for 6 months?
Because consistency is impossible without genuine interest.

P – Profitability
Can this niche make you solid revenue, not just side income?
Some niches look “cool” but won’t even cover your rent.

S – Scalability
Can this grow beyond you, can you hire, automate, or expand it?

If it depends only on your time, it’s not a business, it’s a job.

Now let’s take a relatable Indian example.
Let’s say you’re torn between:
 1️⃣ Teaching English communication to college students
 2️⃣ Helping small business owners with Instagram marketing

Rate both out of 10 for each DEPPS factor 👇
English coaching: 
D - 8 
E - 9 
P - 8 
P - 6
S - 5 
Total = 36/50 

Instagram Marketing:
D - 9 
E - 7
P - 9 
P - 9
S - 8 
Total = 42/50 

That’s DEPPS for you, a 10-minute clarity exercise that can save you months of confusion.
So before you chase the next shiny idea, pull out a notepad and score your options.
You’ll be surprised how obvious your winner looks once it’s on paper.

And if you are still unclear, I'm giving away 1:1 niche clarity session for free to 5 people whome I pick. If you want one, fill the form below: 

https://lnkd.in/grgR8X_B

I used to chase numbers.

Views. Likes. Follower counts.

Every time a post hit a few thousand impressions, I’d feel like I was winning.
Every time it didn’t, I’d question my entire strategy.

But after coaching 100+ creators and building brands across niches, I realised something most of us avoid admitting,
viral posts don’t build businesses.

Community and impact do.

I’ve seen creators hit 5 million views and make $80.

And I’ve seen creators with under 1,000 followers make consistent $3,000 months.

The difference?
One is chasing validation.
The other is building trust.

Here’s what building for revenue (not vanity) actually looks like:

Month 1–3: The Foundation Phase

→ Posted 4–5 times a week with intention, not feelings.
→ Every post ended with a simple CTA: “Work with me along with clear next steps”
→ Built real relationships through DMs, not cold outreach.
→ Started attracting warm leads and made my first few thousand dollars.


Month 4–9: The Compounding Phase
→ Grew audience slowly but deeply to 10000 followers who trusted me.
→ Launched my first micro-offer (Rs 99–299) to warm leads.
→ Started showing behind-the-scenes results instead of just advice.

Month 10–18: The Scale Phase
→ Introduced high-ticket programs ($800–$3,000) built from my proven results. (4 clients every month) 
→ Hired help for content systems and lead nurturing. (Followers 20k)
→ Focused more on storytelling and results, less on aesthetics, Also Launched my Content to Cash Academy (50 students inside) 
→ Monthly revenue: $5,000–$8,000 consistently


The day I stopped chasing views and started building community,
my business stopped depending on luck 
and started compounding on trust.

Vanity fades. Revenue compounds.

Have you seen Emily in Paris?


It is literally a masterclass in turning brand problems into attention assets.

Here are the real lessons every marketer should steal:
1. Antoine’s Perfume: 
The perfume brand releases an ad that the public calls sexist, 
and the team is split on what to do.
Instead of defending it or pulling it down, 
Emily turns the criticism into a conversation by asking the audience a simple question: 
“Do you find it sexy or sexist?”
The debate explodes online, and the brand earns massive attention rather than shame.

Lesson: When the narrative turns against you, invite the audience in. Conversation beats crisis.

2. Hästens Beds – transforming a product into an experience
Hästens needs a memorable idea in an oversaturated luxury market.
Emily places their beds across iconic Paris locations and invites people to literally “sleep with” the brand.
The city-wide stunt becomes instantly Instagrammable and positions Hästens as an aspirational experience.

Lesson: When your product looks like everyone else’s, win with creativity, not features.

3. Champère – embracing and reframing perception
Champère is seen as cheap and confusing, especially because it’s a sprayable champagne.
Emily reframes it as a playful party drink and launches a social challenge: “How do you pop your top?”
User-generated content takes over, and the brand finally gets a clear identity.

Lesson: If you can’t fight a perception, reframe it in your favor.

4. Ami Paris – emotional marketing on a small budget

Ami Paris wants more awareness and a romantic angle.
Emily creates guerrilla love moments - surprise proposals, public declarations, live emotional activations.

The brand gets huge organic buzz without massive media spend.

Lesson: Emotion scales faster and cheaper than ad budgets.

P.S Can't wait for the next season! <3

Yesterday I was talking to an ex-colleague and he told me


“I want to start GATE entrance coaching.”

So I asked him about his marketing plans.
He said,
“I’ll start with print media…
then list my centre on JustDial…
and once some students join,
I’ll create IG and LinkedIn accounts to post their feedback.”

I told him this entire route is dead.

If he really wants trust, reach, and credibility,
he needs to build his personal brand first.

To which he replied:
“I’m an IIT graduate.
I don’t need social media to market myself.”

So I asked him one simple question:
Then why does Deepinder Goyal need it?

The founder of a multi-billion-dollar company.
An IIT graduate himself.
A leader with nothing left to “prove.”

And yet:
he shows up online.
He shares his story.
His thoughts.
His perspectives.
His face.

Because in today’s world:
If people can’t SEE you,
they assume you don’t exist.

Visibility = Trust
Trust = Influence
Influence = Income

And that’s exactly why showing up is no longer optional but a necessity. 

So if you’re still telling yourself “I’m camera shy”…
remember this:
Your fear isn’t stopping the world.
It’s only stopping you from entering the race.

Tell me your thoughts in the comment section! :)

Hate to admit it…


But I was the most careless founder ever.

In the chaos of scaling, hiring, and churning content non-stop,
I started trusting people jaise mere aankhon pe patti bandhi ho.

For 6 straight months, I paid ₹1,20,000 in salaries every month...
without even checking what half the team was doing.

And shocker, it led to degrowth.

You know what’s worse?
I didn’t even know how to delegate.

I thought hiring meant “problem solved.”
Turns out, it meant “new problems unlocked.”

Because no matter how talented your team is,
you cannot lose control of your business.

Delegation without KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) isn’t delegation, it’s blind trust.

And this isn’t about micromanaging.
It’s about staying aware.

You don’t need to hover.
You just need to know the numbers, the outcomes, and the process.

That’s the thin line between losing control and building control.

So yeah,
lead with your eyes wide open.

Your team runs the operations,
but you run the vision.

Curious to know:
If you’re a founder, how do you balance delegation vs control in your business?

How I’d grow to 21k followers on LinkedIn again 
if I had to start from scratch:


I’m giving you the exact blueprint I used to scale to six figures and massive reach on both IG and LI. 

Follow these steps and your growth will be engineered, not accidental.

1) Positioning first: your profile is your landing page

If your profile doesn’t say who you help, why it matters, and why you are different, people scroll past. 

Fix three things immediately: photo, headline, banner.
Headline formula: state the problem → offer the quick entry solution → show authority.
Banner: offer + social proof + clear CTA.

Or use this tool: https://lnkd.in/gggGieGu

2) Content pillars that map to demand: 

Pick 2–3 pillars where your skills meet market demand. 
Example: AI → Productivity → Entrepreneurship.
Under each pillar list 5–7 subtopics so you never run out of ideas.

3) Post mix:
3–4 posts a week:
 • 2 educational posts (actionable, useful)
 • 2 storytelling/transformation posts (human, relatable)

Story template: 
short journey → lesson → simple tactical step → question.

4) Hooks, utility, proof - every post needs these three

→ Hook (short, curiosity + outcome) 
→ Utility (prompt, framework, cheat) 
→ proof (screenshot, result, calendar).

Give people a 10-second win.

5) Engagement system- show up like you mean it

Block time daily to comment and connect:
 Phase 1 broad visibility (comment widely)
 Phase 2 warm-up (engagement before posting)
 Phase 3 post support (like + 3 comments from you)
 Phase 4 reply to every comment (build reciprocity)

 Comments are mini-posts, use them to leverage other audiences.


6) Convert attention into income - optimize your "featured" section

Use 1 or 3 featured offers (main offer, mid/up-sell, free lead magnet). 
Thumbnails convert so make them clear, actionable, and specific. 
Build an email list to own your audience.

This is the repeatable system: profile → content → engagement → monetization.

Do that consistently and you don’t chase virality, you manufacture it.

If you want to implement this step-by-step with templates, scripts, live feedback, and launch support, join Content to Cash Academy, my 12-month LIVE program that turns LinkedIn content into a one-person business.

Comment or DM "C2C" and I’ll send the link.

Love: 
Aayushi

I made ₹0.


when I had 0 followers. (Understandable right?)
Then I had 238 followers, made my first $200.
495 followers - $1000.
1235 followers - $17,000.

Today I’ve got 40k across IG & LinkedIn and I’m making $21,000/month.

So no, more followers ≠ more money.
Never did. Never will.

Followers just mean people know your name.
Maybe what you do. That’s it.

But they only buy from you when they TRUST you.

And “trust” is one of those words you hear everywhere…
But still have zero clue how to actually build.

So let me break it down.
Where is trust built? 
In your Content
In your DMs
In Your emails
In Your WhatsApp / Telegram/ Discord community
On Your YouTube channel
(All of them or some of them)

But it’s built in the places where you actually connect, not perform.

Now here’s the harsh truth:
You can post every single day
Have a “killer” content strategy
Show up with perfect visuals
And STILL not make a single sale.

Because visibility ≠ income.

If people see you but don’t trust you,
you’re just background noise.

So the real question is: HOW do you build trust?
That’s exactly what I revealed inside yesterday’s masterclass:
"How to hit your first ₹1 LAC with less than 500 followers."

And I didn’t just talk.
I gave away Bonuses toooo that helped me go from ₹0 to consistent 6-figure months:
✅ A plug-and-play prompt to enter your ideal client’s mind
✅ A DM template that increased my reply rate by 66%
✅ A lead tracker that doesn't just track, it converts
✅ And most importantly clarity. The kind that gets you unstuck and moving.

And no, I didn’t pitch anything.
No slides.
No scarcity tactics.
No clever countdowns.

Because I had one agenda:
To show you what’s actually working and help you move.

If you missed it, the replay is still up (for now).
Grab it here before I take it down: https://lnkd.in/g8wN5AAF

We got 900K reach in just 2 reels for our client.


Her account was dead for almost a year 
And just 2 coaching calls in, she’s here.

The thing with content is simple:
If you make it well enough, it’s just a matter of time before something picks up and revives the whole account.

No hacks. No tricks. Just the basics, done right.
With us, it happens faster because we’ve got the data that comes from coaching 100s of service providers and coaches across niches. 

But the first principles remain the same.
Consistency + Clarity + Context = Reach that actually converts.
And yes, she’s doing all this while working her 9-5.

How to start a ONE-PERSON BUSINESS on LinkedIn: 


I’m about to show you the exact system that made me $78K this year with no website, no big connections, and no fancy degree.
(You can copy this. Start from zero. Do it from home.)

Here’s the 3-step playbook I used and what you should do this week.

1) Get attention- write to be useful
Don’t overthink a “perfect product.” 
Start by sharing what you already know, a tiny skill, a small win, a repeatable process.
Write 3–6 posts a week. Teach, test, and be useful.

 Examples of winning micro-topics:
 • One workflow you use every day
 • A 3-step fix for a common problem
 • A playbook you tried and improved

Why it works: LinkedIn is still low competition for real written value. 

2) Validate fast- test what people actually pay for
Use your posts to collect data: which topics get saves, DMs, and invites?
No ads. No spending. 
Just content + simple offers (free calls, mini consults, lead magnets).

If something converts, double down. 
If not- pivot. 

Pro tip: Offer a free resource (Notion template, 10-page guide, Loom walkthrough). Share the link in the post to remove friction.

3) Turn attention into income- 3 monetization paths
Pick one, start small, then expand:
• Done-for-you (DFY) - services (ghostwriting, strategy). Fastest way to earn and get case studies.
 • Do-it-with-you (DIWY) - coaching, group programs, workshops. Higher ticket, more scale.
 • Digital products-  templates, mini-courses, guides. Build once, sell many times.

Start with DFY to get proof → productize what works → launch DIWY offers.

Bonus: Build an email list from day one. Own your audience. Email converts when algorithms don’t.

Simple roadmap for week 1
Day 1: Publish 3 posts about 1 small skill.
Day 3: Create a one-page lead magnet (free guide).
Day 5: Run 1 free discovery call (price-test your offer).
Day 7: Open 1 DFY slot and price it.

Repeat. Iterate. Scale.

I did this without a website, without big connections, and it turned into $78K in one year. 
It works because you trade knowledge for attention, and attention for paying clients.

Australia just did something wild.


They’re one month away from banning everyone 
under 16 from using social media.

A world-first move.
Meta, TikTok, YouTube - all off-limits for kids.

And while the internet is split- some calling it “necessary for mental health,” others “too extreme”, it made me pause and think about what this means for the next generation of creators, marketers, and founders.

If you look closely, this ban isn’t just about kids, it’s a loud message to all of us running online businesses:
The social era is maturing.

Platforms are tightening. Algorithms are unpredictable. 
Regulations are coming.

And the ones who’ll thrive won’t just be content creators.
They’ll be the ones who can build trust, visibility, and community, outside of borrowed platforms.

Because if tomorrow, your Instagram/LinkedIn disappeared or your audience’s access got restricted, could your business still stand?

Here’s what I take away from this move:
1️⃣ Start building owned assets today.
 Your email list, WhatsApp broadcast, community, anything that’s yours, not the platform’s.
2️⃣ Focus on depth, not just reach.
 The days of chasing followers are numbered. It’s about nurturing 100 true fans who actually buy from you.
3️⃣ Think long-term brand, not short-term trends.
 Trends die with the next algorithm change. A personal brand outlives it.

Australia may be banning kids from social media,
but maybe it’s time adults learned to detach a little too.

Here’s what I’m curious to know:
 👉 If tomorrow, Instagram and LinkedIn restricted half your audience, what’s your Plan B to keep your business growing?

If I had to rebuild my LinkedIn from scratch today,

I wouldn’t obsess over algorithms or aesthetics.

I’d focus on humans. 

Because people remember how you made them feel, not how optimized your content calendar was.

Here’s what I’d actually do:

1️⃣ Start with clarity: what do I want to be known for? If you’re not sure, the internet won’t be either.

2️⃣ Write every single day, not to post, but to think better. 90% won’t see the light of day, but that 10% will build my voice.

3️⃣ Leave thoughtful comments like I’m having real conversations, not networking.

4️⃣ DM people I admire, not to pitch, but to connect. “Hey, I loved what you said about X, it really stuck with me.” That’s it.

5️⃣ Talk about my offer casually, like a friend would, no scripts, no manipulation.

6️⃣ Analyze what people respond to emotionally not just what gets likes.

7️⃣ Reuse ideas that worked once. People forget. You shouldn’t.

8️⃣ Support small creators, because visibility is not a solo game.

9️⃣ Track conversations started, not impressions earned.

10️⃣ And most importantly, I’d keep showing up like I belong here, even on the days I don’t feel like it.

Because that’s the real secret:

You don’t rebuild your brand by being perfect.

You rebuild it by being present.

PS: If you had to start from scratch on LinkedIn today, what’s one thing you’d definitely do differently?

This is how one post can change your entire LinkedIn career.


Not through manifestation,
but through systems, psychology, positioning, and timing.

Let me show you the exact blueprint so you can replicate it
and build a high-income one-person business on LinkedIn too.

1️⃣ Your “unfair advantage” is your business model.

Ask yourself:
What makes you different?
What proof can you show?
What does the market desperately want right now?

Your answers become your 3 content pillars.
In this case, let's assume:
Entrepreneurship | AI | Powerlifting

2️⃣ Attention goes to creators who understand demand, not trends.

People say they “love AI.”
They don’t.
They love:
✓ saving time
✓ eliminating boring tasks
✓ working faster
✓ earning more in fewer hours

Once you understand this, your content becomes magnetic.

In this example:
 AI → Productivity → Time-saving → Money-making

3️⃣ Consistency doesn’t come from motivation.
It comes from SYSTEMS.
Here is the system for this particular example (steal it):
Pillars → Subtopics → Prompts → Posts

For each pillar, list 5–7 ideas.
For AI, it would be:
• prompts
• tools
• news
• tutorials
• personal insights

Now you have weeks of content pre-baked.
No overthinking.
No burnout.
Just a system that feeds itself.

4️⃣ One post can change your business when built correctly.
We would craft a post with:
🔥 a curiosity-heavy hook
🔥 a zero-fluff body
🔥 a screenshot visual that proves the promise
🔥 a copy-paste solution readers can use instantly

Why will it explode?
Because it will not waste the reader’s time.
It solves a problem in 10 seconds.
That is how modern social media works.

5️⃣ Viral posts are not the goal. Repeatable growth is.
Going viral is easy.
Turning attention into income is where creators win.

With the right content engine, your LinkedIn becomes:
• your top-of-funnel
 • your inbound client machine
 • your authority builder
 • your personal brand accelerator
 • your pathway to a one-person business
(services → coaching → digital products → recurring revenue)

This is how modern solopreneurs are born.
If you want to learn how to build this system with me,
from content → to audience → to clients → to a real business,
then join Content to Cash Academy.

It is my 12-month LIVE coaching program where I help you build, grow, and monetize your LinkedIn brand even if you are starting from zero.

Your first viral post is one system away. 👇
