The Money Magnet

I work with career coaches who are tired of vetting leads who are non-committal and/or can't afford your services. 

I offer a DWY and DFY lead funnel creation service so you can generate quality warm leads from LinkedIn on autopilot! All you need is a simple system to vet leads for you and you'll save 5-10 hours a week.

You left your 9-5 for a reason. But vetting leads feels like your new full-time job!

As a career coach, there's no shortage of people interested in working with you. With so many people on the job market, getting leads and referrals is a breeze!

Your calendar is booked with free discovery calls. But there's a catch...

If they're unemployed, they might struggle to afford your coaching services. So you find yourself constantly turning people away or offering a massive discount because you feel bad for them.

But you still have bills to pay. How are you supposed to support yourself if this continues?

You need a system that works for you to bring in qualified, motivated clients who are ready to take action. That’s where I come in.

I help career coaches like you build simple, automated systems (i.e. lead funnels) on LinkedIn so you can:

→ Attract clients who can afford your high-ticket offer
→ Stop wasting time on discovery calls that don't convert
→ Spend more time doing what you love: Helping current clients reach their career goals

How I'm Qualified:
I'm a former tech recruiter with 10 years of experience at McKinsey, Accenture, and 2 NYC tech companies. I've also been a career coach, so I've felt your frustration wasting time on leads who couldn’t commit. 

How I Can Help:
I focus on building simple systems that rely on automation to pre-qualify leads for you. I offer a DFY and DWY LinkedIn lead funnel creation service that takes the guesswork out of client acquisition. 

There are 4 steps:

1. Optimized LinkedIn Profile 
2. Calendar Software Questionnaire (Calendly, TidyCal)
3. Customized Lead Magnet 
4. Targeted Landing Page

(You may think your profile is optimized, but if it's not attracting the right clients or clearly showcasing your value, you're missing opportunities!)

The Result:
This system will take a cold prospect and turn them into a warm lead without you ever interacting with them! 

How? Because it'll build trust that you understand their challenges and have the right solution to solve them. 

Imagine hopping on calls with warm leads who are your ideal clients, because they've already proven they're committed and can afford your services! 🤯

This is the power of a system that works for you 24/7/365.

I'm the first person in my family to graduate college. Then I immediately said "no thanks" to the traditional 9-5 and went full-time freelance right after graduation. 

Turns out, skipping the corporate ladder and building a business on LinkedIn was the right call!

(Sorry, mom! 🤣)

Here's what I know: Talking about yourself online can feel gross and performative, especially somewhere like LinkedIn. 

You want to use social media to sell (great idea, btw), but you're deathly afraid of turning into one of those hustle-bro accounts you secretly can't stand.

So your brilliant ideas stay buried in drafts, voice memos, and Notion docs that never see the light of day.

I help founders build an online presence that actually turns into REAL money - without the cringe-worthy self-promotion or selling-out tactics that make you want to delete your account.

Over the past few years, I've ghostwritten for 30+ founders. Some highlights:

→ Wrote a piece for a non-alc industry founder that was published in Global Drinks Intel
→ Brought a social agency founder 75+ webinar signups through LinkedIn content alone
→ Grew a land investor's X account from 0 to 4K in three months
→ Built my own LinkedIn following to 6K+ (140% growth this year) while running a weekly newsletter on sustainable content strategy

Want to work together? Here's how:

→ Ghostwriting - I'll handle your LinkedIn content and newsletters so you can focus on your zone of genius (AKA operating your business)

→ 1-1 Strategy Sessions - Get unstuck on your content strategy, profile positioning, or how to actually monetize your presence

→ Speaking & Workshops - I teach teams and communities how to build authority on LinkedIn without burning out or selling out

Everyone, meet my newest adventure: 

Creative Connections Pittsburgh 🥳 

As you may or may not know, I spent last year throwing a few community-based events around my city:

→ A book swap in the park, donating leftover books to our local library
→ A collaborative clothing swap with a local retailer and a local thrift store
→ A "cake party" fundraiser for a nonprofit art gallery

All of these events have been sort of loosely created by me, myself and I, under my personal name.

To be so so so honest with you: I feel like people were a bit tired of seeing me promote these events on my personal Instagram every day 🤣 

So I figured, why not level up? Why not take it seriously?

If you want to follow the page on Instagram, I'll link it down below. 😉 

Our next event:

A "book club fair," helping Pittsburgh readers connect with representatives from 20+ local book clubs! 📖

Ghostwriter & content strategist for purpose-driven founders | Showing you that personal branding doesn’t need to be cringe 🌿

I have a client who recently celebrated uploading 100 newsletters in a row.

That’s 100 weeks with ZERO missed issues. That’s NUTS! 😱 

And when I think about that, I spiral into a mental gymnastics routine, convincing myself that because I don't have that level of consistency, I must not be serious about my work.

While that’s obviously untrue, it’s easy to feel that way. 

Mistakes and slip-ups offer an open door for negative thinking. Specifically, thinking along the lines of: You broke the streak. You ruined it. Why bother starting again?

In their own way, these negative voices believe they’re helping you.

They’re offering you an out. A reason to throw your hands up and remove yourself from whatever uncomfortable goal that you’ve set.

Weirdly, this makes me think of a TikTok I’ve seen recently, where someone asks: 

“If the only reason you aren’t going vegan is that you don’t want to give up bacon… why don’t you just go vegan, plus bacon?”

This applies to anything! Why anchor yourself to an all-or-nothing mindset when you can just compromise? We treat our creative habits like fragile glass that shatters once we miss a day.

It is much easier to quit than to fail, feel bad for a moment, and show up the next day.

But in 2026, I want to be the type of person who tries again. 🙂‍↕️ 

If you want to know HOW I plan on doing this, you can check out today's edition of Post Anyway, linked in the comments down below!

I am usually freaking the h-e-double-hockey-sticks out on Sundays. 😵‍💫 

But not this year. Here's what I've learned:

There has never been a time in which my work-related panic was, in any way, grounded or meaningful.

I have never been "yelled at" by a client for being slightly off the ball.

In fact, I have almost shot myself in the foot by BRINGING to my clients' attention these shortcomings... because until I said something, they didn't even know I felt behind. 🙃 

And when YOU feel stressed, THEY feel stressed.

So please do me a solid, and take a breath.

We are a measly 11 days into 2026. You have time. SO much time.

We got this! 👏

Who am I kidding? I’m not superman. 🤦‍♀️

I always have the inclination to jump headfirst into any idea I’ve ever had. I just do.

Then, when I sit back and look at the damn thing, I realize: “That’s a lot of f*cking work, Sam. Do you actually even want to do that?” 

Sometimes, the answer is an overwhelming “absolutely not.”

That’s what happened here, with the cohort I was considering launching. 

I did not, in truth, want to create a three-week commitment AND suck $299 out of people who are already having a crappy time on this platform.

However, I also know that the level of intense (obsessive?) passion I have for LinkedIn merits something more than just a one-off free template. 🤔

So, I’m reframing: A paid webinar. Much lower lift for everyone involved, with no value sacrificed!

Details are pending, but expect the same vibes:

→ Free webinar first week of February to give you the foundational framework (the stuff you can implement immediately without me)

→ Paid webinar mid-February ($49) for the full system: templates, scripts, strategies, the works

I'm mainly creating this because I’m TIRED of watching good people ghost LinkedIn after one bad experience! 

You don't need another guru selling you "engagement hacks." You need to get actionable advice from someone who makes real money from LinkedIn and can show you how to do the same without abandoning your values.

I'll share exact dates and registration links next week. For now, just know: if you've been breaking up with LinkedIn on a loop, this is your couples therapy.

And yes, there will be dating metaphors. Obviously. 💘

What's the best platform for hosting a community? 🤔 

So far on my radar:

- Slack (keep it classic, but not the sleekest)
- Discord (if it ain't broke, but a little unprofesh)
- Circle (gorgeous...ly expensive)
- Stan (I already pay for the thing, but features feel limited)

What's that? Why am I asking?

... You'll see. 😏

I COULD talk about my own wins willy-nilly, but I have a better idea!

Here are some of my recent client wins:

👏 A freelancer who used my LinkedIn Roadmap service landed two clients since updating their profile & content strategy just over a week ago!

👏 A ghostwriting client of mine had a high-profile ~celebrity~ CPG founder slide into their DMs to set up an interview with my client’s publication!

👏 Another ghostwriting client posted about their college experience/story, leading their old college to reach out and ask to do an alumni spotlight on them!

👏 Lastly (but not least-ly), ANOTHER ghostwriting client of mine had an INSANELY viral post with well over 100K impressions & 450+ reactions!

… and we’re only 15 days into 2025. 😮‍💨

I’m so proud of all of the cool things my clients do - and that I play, even if in a small way, a part in those accomplishments.

I can’t wait to see what else they accomplish! ✨

P.S. If you want results like these, you know who to message. 😉

“My feed just sucks. It’s full of irrelevant people from ten years ago.” 😵‍💫

This is a super common complaint from those getting back into LinkedIn after taking a long hiatus, or after switching up their biz/industry.

Here’s how to easily fix it:

Find 3-5 accounts in your space that consistently pull engagement from your ideal audience. Not necessarily the biggest accounts, just ones whose followers look like the people you want to connect with.

Then run on down to their comment sections! 🏃‍♀️💨

You’ll find a plethora of people to curate your feed with, and it’s particularly great for three reasons:

→ You know they’re active and won’t be a ghost connection
→ Because they’re active in a similar niche’s comments, you know they’ll like your stuff
→ By seeing what/how they comment, you get to know their personality a bit!

NOT TO MENTION: Someone leaving thoughtful comments on posts about the exact thing you help with? That's a lukewarm lead! 😼

Obviously, never hit a new connection with some copy-paste slop. But there’s nothing wrong with mentioning that you noticed them! Reference something specific they posted/commented, and ask them a REAL question.

Good rule of thumb: Build a relationship first, & the business opportunity will show up later if there's a fit.

The algorithm rewards engagement, but it rewards strategic engagement even more: the more you show up in spaces where your people already are, the more likely they are to notice you when YOU post.

Happy networking! 🕺
