Your Storytelling & social media marketing mate at a text distance | Empowering social media presence of brands & individuals through powerful storytelling

Hi, Rose here👋

I’m a 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝𝐈𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭, 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭, and 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫 helping founders, coaches, and executives build authentic, high-performing LinkedIn brands.

In 2020, I signed up for LinkedIn as a student, not knowing much about it. A year later, after deleting my IG account where I had 30K readers (my first online community), I wrote my first post here, a story about grief. That single post changed everything. It took me 2 more years to be consistent here, but I worked with clients from 5 continents by that time. 

What began as a space to express raw thoughts slowly became the foundation of a global career in LinkedIn Storytelling and Personal Branding. I started growing brands at a time when most preached about LinkedIn being just for posting job updates.

Years later, this countryside girl who worked from home with small dreams has now:

✅ Helped clients across 20+ countries (including Fortune 500 leaders) scale visibility and inbound leads through LinkedIn storytelling, Employee Generated Content (EGC), and ghostwriting.
✅ Partnered with agencies and publishing houses as a LinkedIn Marketing Advisor, creating content strategies that drive credibility, trust, and ROI.
✅ Coached 100+ writers and marketers to find their voice, grow their brand, and turn engagement into opportunities.
✅ Ranked for ‘Storytelling’ and ‘Personal Branding’ on creator ranking platforms.

I can help you RISE with me through these services:

1. 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝𝐈𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠: Let’s build a unique positioning that attracts high-value clients and opportunities.

2. 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐆𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: Let me narrate on your behalf to build a powerful community that values your expertise. 

3. 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐄𝐆𝐂) 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬: Let your team become influential brand ambassadors who bring in potential opportunities and sales. 

4. 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 & 1:1 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Develop and monitor strategies that convert followers into clients.

If you’re ready to turn your story into your brand’s biggest sales asset, DM me ‘𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄’. Let’s make LinkedIn worthwhile.

Rose Maria George

I’m a Keralite proving that you don’t have to move to a city to build a global career. 

It’s been over 4 years of working in the comfort of my home. 

The 5 windows in my room open to our plantations, and the yard with flowering plants, and so many trees. 

There is no sound of traffic, other than that of birds and animals, and it’s so peaceful here. 

Some of my clients from abroad got to know how beautiful Kerala is while visiting me. 

They appreciate that a local countryside girl who was tech-illiterate until 18 years old made it big. 

By making it happen, I mean having a global clientele (24 countries). 

While so many peers from cities envy this lifestyle, I’ve had some people ask me this: “Why don’t you move to the metro city? You might get better opportunities.” 

What kind of better opportunities, I don’t get it. All I see is chaotic city life, with more pollution, hard water, and whatnot. 

I’ve had enough of it while traveling and staying briefly at many cities. 

And my business is remote, and I earn way better this way. 

Building a local business is great. 
Building a global one is also great. 
And, building it remotely is great as well. 

You know what suits you best more than a stranger online. 

So, YOU DO YOU!

People praise that I close 5k-8k deals now. But everything started with a $60 gig.

I didn’t have a mentor.
I used my phone to work.
I lost 10 kgs due to anxiety.
I had nightmares every night.
I saw the true colors of many.
I was told to marry a rich guy.
I realized money matters a lot.
I lived in my old, damaged home.
I was grieving my father’s passing.
I had an 18-day toxic job experience.

Those days made me strong. 

And 2 kinds of people remain the same:
1. People who learn from my experiences.
2. People who always ask for tips for easy money.

I celebrated my first milestone after I earned my first monthly 6 figures in January 2022.

Ever since then, I have come across both kinds of people.

I hesitated to talk about money for a long time because of the second kind.

But if you are the first kind, I wish to have you in my community.

And I wish to see you grow along with me.

Money will not solve everything, but it removes many fears that stop you.

I hope everyone looking for the perfect moment will start with what they have, even if it looks small 💚

PS. In my ideation & strategy phase to turn all the processes and systems that worked for me to help others. I won't hold back on it in 2026.

I’m 65% introverted, but my first public speaking was when I was 4 years old, in English, which isn’t my mother tongue. 

I hosted a show with 2000 people as the audience when I was a teenager. 

I was never shy on stage and enjoyed talking to the crowd. 

I was the school chairperson. I presided over many functions. 

My college professor, who always degraded me, complimented me once, “You would’ve done better as a lawyer”.

I enjoyed group discussions, debates, and any competitions that needed me to talk. 

I played dramas, was in group songs, and never once called shy unless at some family gatherings. 

But many people think that being calmly introverted means being shy. 

There are shy introverts. But some introverts are loud and good at talking. 

I’ve coached and worked with 100s while being in a closed-off stage in my life. 

Some said I’m funny. 
Some found me gentle. 
Some said I’m too polite. 
Some consider me warm.
Some said I inspire them. 

The other side of the coin👇

Some said I’m intimidating. 
Some saw me as awkward. 
Some saw me struggle to talk.
Some talked to me on days I stuttered. 

And I struggle a lot when it comes to speaking for a video thank talking in person. 

But all of these people only saw my phoenix version. 

Most of them don’t know that a very vulnerable experience changed the way I think, interact, write, and live. 

I spoke at a local event in Malayalam this weekend and was welcomed by loud claps and whistles. 

Then I realized that I had missed it for years. 

Someone I have known for 3 years asked, “You were a public speaker? Unbelievable”. 

And despite new people in my life not knowing who I was, I still feel grateful 💚

This is a month I’ve a lot of new activities lined up. I’m willingly stepping out of my comfort zone. Hope you will make it too:)

If I work whenever my clients work, I won’t sleep. My clients are global. 

Most of my clients sleep when I work, and work when I sleep. 

Here’s how I set boundaries respectfully: 

1. 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 

I mention my timing (9:30 AM–4:30 PM IST) in the contract. I’m available for pre-scheduled calls in the morning or evening if needed. I build systems so the project’s growth never suffers because of time zones. 

2. 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬 

If a client wants me available during their hours, I offer a paid priority pass  with up to 2 hours of availability on 4-8 days per month. I never offer this to more than 2 clients at a time. Interestingly, when clients invest in this, they respect my time even more. 

3. 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 

I’m not an employee. And I show them how I’ve delivered efficiently for years without sitting in front of a laptop at 3 AM. 

4. 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦” 

If a client who once said, “I respect your boundaries” suddenly says, “I worry about our time zone difference,” I ask: How does the time zone affect this project when our content and strategy are already pre-planned? 

I’m a strategist and a writer. 

I don’t need to be awake when every client is awake. 

With global clients, that’s impossible anyway. 

So I do what works. 

I set my boundaries. 

And I communicate them openly. 

If all your clients feel toxic, you’re probably not setting your boundaries right.

#WorkBoundaries

It’s been 3 years since I quit a lead role after standing up for a junior team member.

What resulted in it was a series of sugar-coated abusive messages and sexist remarks from a senior employee.

I wasn’t the victim or survivor.

But someone I led was. Someone who looked up to me and was powerless to protest.

I was already dealing with my own pressures that Thursday, so I tried to ignore it.

But I couldn’t sleep that night, despite trying hard (prick of conscience wouldn’t let me).

The next morning, I addressed the issue. It felt like opening Pandora’s box.

I had to turn flight mode on on my phone and focus on other projects for the entire day.

The whole experience was unsettling, and I spoke about it with 2 of my  clients.

Client 1 said, “Sometimes you have to pretend to be blind. Otherwise, you can’t grow your career.”

Client 2 said, “You did the right thing. Today he bullied someone else. Tomorrow, it could be you. You’ll have better opportunities lined up.”

Client 2 is still my client. And I’m glad I spoke up that day.

“Pretend to be blind” is advice many beginners are given.

But it’s okay to speak up for yourself or your team, if you have a choice.

I can’t imagine the kind of trauma I would’ve carried for years had I chosen not to react that day.

Apple Memories reminded me of these pictures of me, from the day this issue was in effect.

And it reminded me that it’s okay to bravely share my opinions instead of becoming robotic.

My career growth still didn’t suffer, you know 🙂

People who say LinkedIn is becoming Facebook forget one thing 👇 

Even sharing an opinion like that was once considered unprofessional here. 

So by old standards, these same “Facebook police” are doing exactly what they’re complaining about. 

I’ve even seen beginners & experts saying, “LinkedIn is turning into Facebook.” 

But here’s the fact: 

Any large social platform must evolve to support users with different preferences. 

LinkedIn is no longer a strictly professional space. 

People share videos. 
They share life updates. 
They post mirror selfies. 
They talk about wins and failures. 

And do you think I’m comfortable with all the formats? 

I’m not. 

But I’m also not narrow-minded enough to judge someone else’s content preferences. 

If you scroll through my old posts, you’ll see me saying the same thing years ago. 

Let people create what they want. 
Let the market decide what works. 

As long as it’s not inappropriate, it’s not your business, or mine. 

Being adaptable is a strength in business. 

But even if you’re not, respecting other people’s choices is the bare minimum.

I announced a webinar on my most overwhelmed day this year.

This year, I wanted to launch cohorts and webinars, as my community anticipated.

But I couldn't, as I had other priorities.

That didn’t make me think, "I’ll do it in 2026".

Instead of doing nothing, I chose to start with a small giveaway webinar with Keralites.

It happens tomorrow at 8 PM IST. 
Cohort programs will go live in February 2026, and I’m finally excited to offer personalised coaching to the people who’ve been waiting for it.

I love slow living, but December looks nothing like it.

And I realized that you will never magically be free to do the things you want to do.

So if you want to do big things, start small. Doing something small is way better than doing nothing.

I’ve a list of topics and areas to discuss on webinars in 2026. If you wish to be a part of it, tell me the topic you would like me to discuss.

People hated me for believing in God. 

People liked me for believing in God. 

Some hated me for my values.
Some liked me for my values. 

Some hated my simplicity.
Some liked my simplicity. 

Some hated my honesty. 
Some liked my honesty. 

Some hated that I said no.
Some liked that I said no. 

I’ve been writing online for 9 years, and I was unapologetically myself. 

Some people like it. 
Some people dislike it. 

But I was able to generate leads and convert clients. 

And I crossed the milestones I thought I would cross in a decade in a year. 

So many personal brands try to thrive with safe play. 

They are scared of controversy. 
They fear criticism. 

So they wear a safe play mask. 

But if you dare to remove that mask, you can grow better. 

The majority of posts on LinkedIn are safe content. 

And safe content doesn’t have the fuel to take you far. 

An exception is a solid positioning. 

So, if you sense you are safe playing here, try doing the opposite. 

It’s scary, but you will grow better when you don’t play.

I recieved 32 DMs when I told not to DM. That says why many people struggle without opportunities. 

Last week, I shared that I could refer freelancers to my clients.

It was not a job posting.

But a zero fee referral option. 

And I added one small request, "Please fill the form instead of messaging me directly."

I believe that's fair as I'm not in a position to chat every details with everyone interested. (especially in the busiest month of the year)

Also, sharing the form responses directly to clients makes it easy. 

But even then, 32 people DMed me.

Some simply said “Hi”.
Some requested calls.
Some sent AI paragraphs.
Some shared samples without context.

This is not to call anyone out.

But it reminded me of something I have seen repeatedly while working with founders and executives.

Most opportunities are lost not because of lack of talent, but because of how people communicate.

Clients notice:
• whether you read instructions
• whether you respect boundaries
• whether you follow a simple request
• whether you make their process easier

These small things matter more than people realise.

If you are a freelancer or creative, remember👇

Your skills open the door, but your communication determines whether the door stays open.

Please master how to respect boundaries and communicate well. 

That might solve half of the issues if you don't hear from potential clients.

#freelancing

I'm not hiring, but my clients are. So feel free to fill out the forms
