Senior Consultant (Captain)

Operations Manager | Assistant S3

IT and Communication Lead | Platoon Leader

As a Former Army Captain I'm passionate about helping individuals and teams unlock their full potential. 

Having worked in the Military, Manufacturing, and Financial Services industries I have continued to search for what truly makes organizations successful. From my experience this goal is enabled by organized and useable data. 

Proper use of data assets does more that just allows you to present and inform at all levels of the organization. It allows you to:

- Tell a story
- Take strategic action
- Focus on wins while mitigating losses 

Most organizations face an enormous problem when it comes to organizing, structuring, and using their data in a meaningful way. 

Nexla is primed to solve this problem by streamlining data process to quickly transform raw data into actionable insights. We do this by automating data workflows to enhance responsiveness to business needs. 

This not only speeds up decision-making, but allows for more frequent iterations of data products. 

If you are finding yourself in situations where you have mass amounts of data, but cannot use it to its fullest potential it might be time to reach out for some help.

You can get in contact with us at nexla.com (link in my profile), or send me a message and I'll be in touch.

Building Personal Brands | 150+ Personal Brands Grow With Me | Writing, Engaging, and Growing Your Presence Step by Step | Expert in Finding Leads Through LinkedIn Engagement

Are you using LinkedIn… or is LinkedIn using you?

Some profiles grow quietly.
Some attract attention.
And some turn visibility into real monetization.

The difference is not luck.
It’s systems, positioning, and execution.

I help founders and creators improve their LinkedIn profiles for growth & monetization, using a mix of clear strategy, smart content, and modern tools.

In 2026, LinkedIn is no longer about “posting daily.”
It’s about building a profile that works even when you’re offline.

🔹 What I Actually Do (No Fluff)

I build simple but powerful LinkedIn systems that focus on:

• Profile optimization for visibility & trust
• Content that attracts the right audience
• Smart engagement (not spammy tactics)
• Monetization-focused positioning
• Using AI tools practically to save time & improve output

Everything is designed to be sustainable, human, and scalable.

🔹 Results I’ve Helped Create

Over the years, these systems have helped:

• Clients gain 10K–15K+ followers in 30 days
• Personal brands reach millions of impressions organically
• One post cross 94K+ likes
• Founders turn LinkedIn into a lead & opportunity engine

I’ve worked with 200+ personal brands across different industries, not with hacks, but with repeatable systems.

🔹 Why AI Is Part of My Process

AI is not here to replace creators.
It’s here to remove friction.

I use AI tools to:

• Generate better hooks & angles
• Structure content faster
• Improve consistency without burnout
• Optimize profiles and content ideas

(And yes, I actively explore and work with modern tools in the space.)

🔹 If You Want to Grow on LinkedIn, Focus On This

• Say less, but say it clearly
• Build authority before chasing reach
• Create content that educates and positions
• Stop copying trends blindly
• Think monetization early, not later

Growth is a result.
Systems come first.

34k followers reached, but the real journey has just started...


Today I crossed 34,000 followers on LinkedIn, and for me this is more than just a number, it’s proof of consistency and patience.

There was a time when no one knew me, no one engaged with my posts, and no one followed my work, but I decided not to quit.

I kept learning every day, posting regularly, and improving step by step even when results were slow.

As I shared earlier, my goal for 2026 is 100k followers, and this 34k milestone is only the beginning of that journey.

I’m not here just to collect followers, I’m here to share real value, learn openly, and grow together with my community.

In 2026, I’ll focus on better content, smarter use of AI, and practical LinkedIn growth strategies that actually work.

If you’re also serious about growing on LinkedIn, follow me for daily insights.

I post Monday to Friday at 4:40 PM (PKT).

Now I’d love to know...
What’s your next LinkedIn goal?

Improving LinkedIn with AI for Growth & Monetization | Worked with 200+ Personal Brands

Most people sit every day asking...
 

“What should I post today?”

That’s why they feel stuck.

Top creators do something different.
They build a 30-day content plan and then execution becomes easy.

Let me guide you.

When you use ChatGPT the right way, you don’t just get ideas, you build a full content system.

You decide...

• how many times you will post
• what your main goal is
• who you are talking to
• which topics matter for your niche

Then every post has direction, not guesswork.

No more...

• staring at blank screens
• posting whatever comes to mind
• saying “I don’t know what to write today”

With a proper plan, you wake up already knowing what to post.

That is how...

clarity increases
quality improves
and consistency becomes easy

This is how real creators work.
 
Not with luck.
Not with virality games.
But with structure.

So if you are serious about LinkedIn growth in 2026...

Plan your next 30 days.
Use ChatGPT as your assistant, not a shortcut.
Create a system you can repeat again and again.

Because content doesn’t grow by accident.
It grows by design.

Follow me for LinkedIn growth + AI content systems.

P.S. Do you already plan your content, or will you start from today?

How to Create a 30-Day Content Plan Using ChatGPT

AI works best after this one habit...


These days, the moment people hear the word AI, their mind goes straight to one thing...

“Copy-paste content.”

And honestly, that’s where the problem starts.

Most people don’t even define AI properly.
AI isn’t here to replace you.
AI is here to support you.

Let me explain with a simple example.

If we talk about LinkedIn content, yes, you can write content using AI.

But here’s the mistake creators make 👇
They give a very basic topic, generate content, and post it as it is.

That’s wrong.

I always say...
Train AI like you train a small child.

You don’t expect a child to speak perfectly on day one.
You teach them slowly.

Same with AI.

You show it...

• Your writing tone
• Your style
• Your past posts
• The words you like
• The words you don’t like
• Your content format

Even how long your hook should be

Once you do that, AI stays inside your boundaries.

Just remember one thing...

AI is like a newborn baby.
If you want it to succeed, you must teach it first.

My belief is simple...
AI is here to help us, not to do everything for us.

It shouldn’t be...
 
90% AI
10% you

At least keep it 50–50.

But when it comes to training AI?
You have to give 100% effort first.

You know how people say...
When you go to a doctor or a lawyer, don’t hide anything, share everything, good or bad.

I say…
Add AI to that list too 😄
Don’t hide anything from it.

The more you share, the better results you get.

I’ve also found a few AI tools that can help you build a profitable LinkedIn system in 2026.

I’m attaching them as a cheat sheet with this post.

Repost, If you found this post helpful.
Follow me, If you want more content like this. 

And if you want to build your LinkedIn properly, with systems, content, and clients. I offer LinkedIn personal branding and growth services.

Most people create plans...
 

Very few create posts that actually move people.

Anyone can make a 30-day content calendar.
The real work is turning topics into clear, human, trust-building posts.

In 2025, I realized something important...

👉 A content plan doesn’t grow your brand.
👉 Content that speaks in your real voice does.

Today my process is simple...

I take one topic…
I turn it into one strong message…
Then I use AI to write faster, not to replace me, but to support me.

I don’t chase hacks.
I don’t copy people.

I study...

• how powerful hooks grab attention
• how stories keep readers reading
• how the last line makes you feel something

Then I write in my own tone.

That’s the real game on LinkedIn...

Not noise
Not spam
Not “post daily and pray”

But...

• clarity
• honesty
• value
• intention

And in 2026, creators who mix human story + smart AI will win.
Not because of tricks…
But because their message is real.

How to Turn Your Content Plan into LinkedIn Posts

Yesterday, I read a post by Jasmin Alić

He shared that in 2026, LinkedIn has restricted his account 4–5 times.
Despite having 10+ years on LinkedIn.

In that post, he directly mentioned LinkedIn and said something powerful...

Either book a meeting with me, or I’ll reach your headquarters within 48 hours.

The purpose of that post wasn’t drama.
It was about standing up for his rights.

And that’s why many creators supported him.
Because everyone knows the effort he has put in over the years.

Sadly, this issue is not limited to one person.

Some of my clients’ profiles are facing the same problem.

They keep getting warnings and restrictions, even though everything is done manually from our side.

I personally know two creators, who worked extremely hard to build their personal brands on LinkedIn.

And suddenly, without any solid reason, their accounts were restricted.

Their names are:

(i) Muhammad Ashiq Hussain
(ii) Saman Ahmad

We tried multiple times.
We reached out.
But there is no response from LinkedIn.

And honestly, this shouldn’t happen.

My request to everyone reading this post 👇
Please support these creators.

Mention LinkedIn in the comments
Repost this for your audience
Raise your voice

Because this is not just about them.
There are many creators facing the same issue silently.

Everyone deserves a second chance.
Everyone deserves to be heard.

If we don’t speak today, tomorrow it could be any one of us.
Let’s stand together.

Three months ago, a client came to me with one clear goal...


“I want to grow my audience… but I want it to be real, not fake numbers.”

At that time, they had around 6,000 followers.
 
Good content.
Good expertise.
But very low visibility.

So we worked together on one thing...

A clear engagement and growth strategy

not spam
not bots
not follow-for-follow

Just organic growth, the right audience, and the right positioning.

Today, that same client has 30,000+ followers.
 
Real people.
Real conversations.
Real opportunities.

They sent me a video feedback sharing their experience, and honestly, that means more than numbers to me.

Because growth is not about followers only.
It’s about reach, trust, and inbound leads.

And this is not the only story.

I’ve helped many other clients grow organically too, for some, it was 15,000+ followers in a single month. I’ll be sharing more feedbacks very soon.

If you want results like this...

• organic followers
• better engagement
• right audience
• no spam, no fake growth

You can message me directly…
Or book a call from my profile (Calendly link is in the Featured section).

Let’s grow your LinkedIn the right way.

$0/month to $20k/month...


This is not easy for me...

When I started on LinkedIn in 2023… I had nothing.
No one knew me. No clients. No likes. No achievements to share.

I was giving LinkedIn growth services… but my own profile wasn’t growing.

I felt frustrated.

Then I thought…
“What if I learn the strategies, use them on my own profile, and share the results? Others can learn too.”

I needed someone to follow. I found Jasmin Alić and Lara Acosta.

They explain things very clearly. I copied their strategies and used them on my profile.
It worked!

I got my first client. Then two. Then more.
Work kept coming, so I brought my brothers, Abdur Rehman and Ahad I., to help. Soon, we had a team and 2 offices.

Even with all this, I never stopped learning.

In 2025, I realized… doing everything by hand takes too long.
I started learning AI for LinkedIn growth.
It made growth much faster and easier.

Some results from 2025:

i) One client got 15k+ followers in 1 month. (Other's client gained average 5k to 10k followers in 1 month) 

ii) Reach went 80x higher.

2026 is going to be even bigger. I’ll share everything I’ve learned about LinkedIn growth and AI step by step. If you want to learn, follow me Arslan Iqbal. I post Mon–Fri at 4:40 PM PKT.

I set targets at the start of 2025. Not all were completed but 80% got done. And in 2026, I’ve set new goals, including hitting 100k followers by year-end.

One thing I want to emphasize. AI isn’t a replacement for skill.
It’s a tool to take your skills to the next level. Learn how to use it smartly, and it will multiply your results.

Now I want to hear from you...

What was your biggest achievement in 2025?
