I help B2B content teams with blog & email copywriting that educates, nurtures & converts

Is LinkedIn swallowing far too much of your time?Quitting isn't an option.Nor is taking your foot off the gas.After all, when done right it can be a key revenue-driver for your business.But you also know that:- Creating content every week- Analysing what is &amp; isn't resonating- And staying up to date with current LinkedIn best practices...is not the best use of your time.Not to mention the amount of mental bandwidth it takes up.  The truth is, whenever you see other founders on LinkedIn who are killing it – 9x outta 10 they’re not doing it alone.They have others to help:  - Extract their insights- Write &amp; design content- Foster meaningful DM convos w/ prospects - And plan aheadThis is what I can help you with.Over the last 18 months, I’ve helped founders drive over 4,000,000 views, over 35,000 new followers, and over 40,000 product users &amp; clients.And none of that has come from:  - Generic AI guff - Cringeworthy stories - Or banal ‘leadership’ quotesIt comes from tackling real customer pain points &amp; objections. It comes from sharing unique, practical frameworks that are proven to help people. And from behind-the-scenes content that educates, inspires &amp; drives trust for you &amp; your business.So if you’re interested in driving more revenue from LinkedIn (while also claiming back your time &amp; head space) – either:  (a) Shoot me a DM, or... (b) Email me at: jonny@triverb.comSpeak soon.JP

There are 3 types of people on LinkedIn:

(from hardest to easiest)

1. Those who create
2. Those who passively consume
3. Those who criticise

You're likely familiar with Roosevelt's 'Man in the Arena.'
 
So I won't recite it here.

Lawd knows, there's enough moral grandstanding on LI.

However, it takes guts to ship your ideas online. Even if they are a bit sh*t.

I often avoid doing so in fear of:

- Sounding unoriginal
- Having a post flop
- Or topping the 'LinkedInLunatics' subreddit

I passively consume mostly.

Which I think is easier than being a critic.

Biting your tongue takes restraint.

The ability to think before you speak is a skill that requires practice.

Not to say all criticism is bad. Of course, depending on the source, there's far more to be gained from criticism than praise.

But that's the point... 

It's all about the source.

Generally the person criticising is wholly unqualified to do so. 

They see others post and think, "I could do better than that. What utter guff!"

Yet 99x out of a hundred - they don't do better than that...

They do nothing. 

Other than winge from the sidelines, they never actually ship anything.

This is a protective mechanism.

"Rather than risk failing in public, I'll just pile it on when I see others... 'trying.'"

How brave.

I don't say this to call you (or anyone else) out.

I've been 'That guy' who's criticised, corrected, and clucked in the comments.

I get it. It's intoxicating.

However like most of my posts, this serves as a reminder to myself as much as anyone else.

I'll leave you with this...

“Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.”

– Dale Carnegie (bloke who wrote How to Win Friends & Influence ppl)

Newsflash: I’m changing my stance on LinkedIn.

(brought to you by WCNC - Who Cares News Corp)

A year ago, I went for dinner with some old friends.

Soho, London.
A beehive of people.
Beers and banter a’flowin.

It was like a time machine had plonked us back 14 years.

All was well with the world. 

Until I overheard 2 of my ex-housemates hating on LinkedIn while I stood at the bar.

“Ugh... it’s so cringe. Full of blowhards. I hate it.”

Both of ‘em knew I was posting. 
They’d mentioned it earlier on.

But now I knew how they really felt.  

It was like an *indirect* intervention 🤣

Thing is, I don’t blame them for thinking that way.

I think the same thing from time to time.

But what they don’t see is...

- The clarity of thought that comes from writing online.

- The network of peers and prospects being built in the background. 

- And the flywheel of biz opps that come off the back of that network.

It doesn’t matter whether you work for an employer or you run your own shop.

Showing up on LinkedIn, and figuring it out over time only helps you in the long run.

It’s helped me ton since I started posting in 2022.

So who cares what the critics think?
And who cares what that negative inner voice thinks?

Because recoiling from sales & marketing in business is like fighting a polar bear with both arms tied behind ur back.

(Ur gun get f*cked up!)  

Like it or not, you have to let people know that you exist.
And you have to remind them constantly.

Because they ain’t gunna come lookin’.

And no one is gunna do it for you!

So... here’s the new story I’m telling myself about LinkedIn (to rewire this negative brain circuitry):

See it as a low-stakes game. 
Not as some be-all-end-all. 

Be intentional about the content you make. 

If you see content that makes you wince, take a moment to understand why. Then avoid doing that.

Plenty of people create great content on here. 
Use that to motivate you and learn from.

And ultimately... just show up and be useful.

Do that enough and people will start to know, like and trust you enough to PAY you for help.

Instead of calling in sick, we should be able to call in healthy.

"I'm not coming in today. I feel really good and I don't want to waste it at work."

I'm a LinkedIn connections curmudgeon.

Every week, a bunch of randos send me connection requests.

No hey, hello, f*ck you... nuthin.

Just random strangers expecting a free VIP pass into the treehouse of trust. 

Problem is... 

If I accept them, the ratio of random people to people I actually know in my feed blows up even higher.

Imagine someone knocked on your front door right now. 

And just stood there.
Sh*t-eating grin on their face.
Saying nothing.

They're wearing a name tag for some reason.

Under which it says:

"Partnerships manager at Some Company LLC"

Would you let them in?

I get that people want to expand their network.

But spraying out blind connection requests like confetti - all to meet some arbitrary quota is NOT networking.

It's annoying.

Striking up meaningful relationships requires more than just clicking "+ Connect" 100x a week.

It takes having the spuds to talk to people.

You know, taking an interest in them. Introducing yourself. Giving a reason why you're connecting with them.

Maybe a post of their's resonated with you?
Mention it.

Maybe you noticed they're hiring for a role? 
Make an introduction.

Maybe they can help with a challenge you're facing?
Ask for their opinion.

Maybe a mutual connection speaks highly of them?
Lead with that.

The bar is so embarrassingly low.

All you have to do is just try a little bit, and you'll stand out.

As the Lorax speaks tor the trees, I speak for the end user.

I enjoy simplifying business and technical speak into simple sentences that help users find what they need. What I delight in, however, is teaching others to write crisp, clear and simple sentences that guide users.
