Hussein Al-Baiaty

My truth about writing for attention.

There's something more sticky that needs to take hold first.

Learning to create and write for retention.

What if the real goal on LinkedIn isn’t going viral, but being unforgettable?

Most posts get attention for 24 hours, then vanish.

But if you're playing the long game, book sales, clients, and credibility then attention isn’t enough.

You need affection. 

You need retention.

Because followers don’t build careers, fans do.

Fans of your work come back.

They binge your backlog.

They quote you in rooms you're not in.

They send your posts around with “you gotta read this.”

So how do you write for retention?

Say what others won’t.

Write like you’re talking to one person.

Make them feel something real.

Give them a reason to remember you.

Stop trying to hack the algorithm. 

Write to get into someone’s memory.

I’m not great at this by any means. It takes time, and it's okay to practice as I write my next thing.

And I’m sure you’ve seen every LinkedIn tip in the book.

But lately, I’ve just been asking myself this one thing. 

Why would the person I’m writing for care?

That one question has changed everything for me.

#risingauthors #gardenwarrior

I help authors build their platform and brand while turning their expertise into speaking, consulting, and client opportunities through killer websites and a standout presence on LinkedIn and YouTube.

Most authors think the biggest change comes from people reading their book. 

Or perhaps the most significant change is coming from sales, reviews, and recognition. 

All of that matters, but what if you are focused on using your book to gain a new pathway to income?

The real transformation begins when the book creates clarity about who you are and what you are capable of becoming. 

It becomes the doorway into opportunities you could not have imagined before you wrote it. 

It introduces you to yourself in a new way and it introduces you to the world with a sharper lens.

This is the deeper truth most authors never hear. 

The win is not just selling copies, which is great if you can pull off selling thousands. 

The win is using the book to unlock real income paths that lead to author success.

I break down a few in this week’s deep dive, including the ones that changed my career and the ones my clients have used to grow their impact in ways a simple book launch never could.

If you want to see what your book can actually become, you will want to read this edition of the Rising Authorpreneur.

When I wrote my book, I thought the biggest change would come from people reading it. I thought the reward would be the message itself, or the sales, 

Open article: 10 Ways to Make $100k with Your Book by Hussein Al-Baiaty • 9 min read

Self-promotion is a huge problem for experts and authors.
 
They’re struggling with being seen.

They tell themselves they’re “not ready yet,” or they don’t want to look like they’re begging for attention. 

And that fear turns into silence. 

The silence turns into missed opportunities. 

And suddenly the book they spent years on is sitting in a corner collecting digital dust.

Here’s the part most people avoid saying.

Showing up isn’t desperation.

Showing up is proof you believe in the work you created.

If you’re scared to talk about your book, if you hesitate every time you want to post, or if you keep waiting to feel “legit” before you share your ideas, just know this, no one is coming to tap you on the shoulder and give you permission.

Credibility comes from repetition.

Authority comes from clarity.

Traction comes from visibility.

You don’t earn those by hiding.

So if the fear is there, fine. Let it ride shotgun. But stop letting it drive.
You built something that deserves oxygen.
 
Give it air.

Give it space.
 
Let people see it.

Let's connect - I specialize in making the impossible look inevitable.

Robin Ayme

Most health founders I know are unhealthy.
Sounds crazy. But it's true.
Was joking about this with Scott Marcaccio the founder of Myo recently.

We're building companies to help millions get healthier.
While burning ourselves out in the process.

The irony isn't lost on me.
When I coached founders and CEOs, I saw the same pattern every time:
They'd come to me wanting to optimize performance, high achievement and pro-athlete mindset level. Get that last 1%.

Then a few weeks in:
"Robin, I actually have two problems:

1 - My health is falling apart
2 - My relationship with my wife and kids is broken"

My answer was always honest: "I can help with #1. Still figuring out #2 myself."

Here's what I learned from working with top performers (people advising Meta executives):

Congruence is everything.

If you sleep 4 hours, run on stress, but your company preaches wellness?
You're not building a brand. You're building a lie.

Now I'm back in the builder seat with my own longevity venture.
And I'm doing it differently this time.

My bet? I need to be my hardest customer.
I need to build this company while:
-> Running a startup
-> Training for Hyrox (Yes, moving away from Rugby ...)
-> Trying to be the best dad and husband possible 
-> Actually having a life

If my product can't work for me when life is chaos, it won't work for anyone else.
Most health products are built for perfect conditions.
But we're human. Life is messy.
I focus on the human behind the body.

Because what's the point of winning if in 20 years I'm asking someone:

1 - Can you help me with my health?
2 - Can you help me save my relationships?

That's not ambition. That's insanity.
I'm building this company the right way. Or not at all.

-------
BTW - If you're near a Myo clinic. 100% worth your time.

Building AI Health & Longevity Products | Cross-functional Leader | 0→1 + Scale Expert | Ex-Pro-Athlete

More data doesn't make you healthier.
As a pro athlete, and then in my business career, I learned something important:
We collected tons of data. But we only obsessed over metrics that had:

-> High leverage/correlation to the outcome
-> Clear action we could take

Everything else? Ignored.

Now I see health tech making the opposite bet—collect ALL the data, figure it out later.

But that's backwards.

Data without a clear path to action is just noise.

People chase the 143rd biomarker when they don’t do anything about their lack of sleep, and eat processed food like candies … 

I’m not here to sugarcoat the truth: the next biomarker will not change anything in your life, you’re just procrastinating. 

Same concept as people chasing the next information, waiting to “be ready” to start. 

Start with what you have, the basics will already bring you to the top 5%.

That's what I'm building into my next venture. 

Ruthless focus on what moves the needle. Cut the rest.

Already in closed beta with longevity clinics and high-end gyms.

Consumer launch coming soon.

Want early access? Drop a comment or DM me to join the waitlist.

For years, people told me I was “too scattered.”

Journalist. Coach. Athlete. Founder. Systems nerd.

“Pick a lane, Robin.”

Then AI happened.

And suddenly, being a polymath became my edge.

Here’s my morning now:
☕ Coffee
📋 Assign Notion tickets to my Claude Code agent
🚶 Walk to office (20 min)
💬 Arrive to Slack: “Done. Tests passing.”

Code written. Reviewed. Ready to ship.
Before my first meeting.

All those years going deep on productivity systems, automation, research methods?

Felt like procrastination at the time.

Now it’s the foundation for orchestrating AI agents.

The new leverage isn’t being specialized.
It’s knowing enough about everything to direct AI that does the rest.

Polymaths used to be scattered.
Now we’re dangerous.

No alternative text description for this image

If you're in the top 1% of health ... read this.
If you're tired of them ... read this.

Ever talked to someone obsessed with fishing?
They hit you with line weights, drag systems, tippet sizes, moon phases...

And suddenly, you have zero interest in trying it.
Health is the same.

You're passionate. You love the deep dive. 
You spend weekends reading studies on NAD+ and Zone 2 training.
That's great ... for you.

But here's the problem: most people don't want a PhD in longevity. 
They just want to feel good and live longer.

When you overwhelm them with details, you lose them.
Your job isn't to show how much you know.

It's to make health fun and approachable.
Teach people how to fish - and make them actually want to do it.

I'm sure you once loved a subject because the professor teaching it made it fun and approachable - I did (Quantum Mechanics - nerdy on paper, one of my professor made it memorable .. a story for later). 

PS - I consider myself in the top 1% of health. So that's a letter to myself ;)
