A creative Solopreneur building personal brands for the top 1% entrepreneurs on LinkedIn and sharing what I learn along the way.

In December 2022, I was building my personal brand to land a UX design internship.

I didn’t expect it would turn into a business serving 80+ CEOs.

Here's my story:

I met my first client - a UX Design Agency founder who looked at my work and said,

“Your design skills are good… but your ability to position people is rare. You should build personal brands, not interfaces.”

He handed me his LinkedIn account.

I built his personal brand from scratch.

He loved it. Then he referred his brother... a co-founder whose account had been poorly managed by another agency.

I took over.

Both profiles grew. Both businesses did, too.

Then in October 2023, I started freelancing.(it didn't worked out well)

So I positioned myself as a solopreneur.

By early 2024, I was working with CEOs, entrepreneurs, and founders across the U.S. - including Silicon Valley startups backed by top venture capital firms.

Then I launched Mikaios, a personal branding company built on one belief:

If people knew your story, they’d trust your brand.

→ 80+ CEOs and founders served globally
→ 5,400+ posts written.
→ 200+ qualified leads generated.
→ 10M+ views generated organically.

In 2025, I founded Brand By Content, a media company that helps people build authority at scale through newsletters, systems, and education.

Recognition

🏆 Ranked 28th LinkedIn Creator on Taplio’s Growth Challenge (out of 2,600+)
🏆 Ranked 12th Best Storyteller & Writer in India by Favikon

Today, I help CEOs and founders who already have the results (but not the visibility) build personal brands that attract opportunities, partnerships, and recognition.

I’m the founder of Traffilo, an SEO agency that helps brands get found across Search, AI Overviews, and Generative Engines.

I started my career working on freelance SEO projects for over two years before building Traffilo. That experience shaped how I approach practical, results-focused SEO.

My primary focus is on organic growth, building SEO that drives high-intent traffic, not just rankings. At Traffilo, I lead SEO strategy and direction, while my team handles execution.

We also support brands with performance marketing (Google & Meta Ads) when it makes sense, so paid and organic efforts stay aligned.

Let’s connect and talk about improving search visibility across SEO and AI.

I built an SEO Content Idea AI agent (n8n) that sends weekly content ideas automatically!
People usually pay $500–$1000 for custom automations like this, but I’m sharing it for free.


It uses Google Search Console to pull real search queries, then uses AI to:
➞ Find high-impression, low-click opportunities
➞ Group queries into topics
➞ Suggest strong blog titles
➞ Create simple outlines

And sends everything directly to Gmail.

So you get:
➞ What people are actually searching
➞ What you should write next
➞ Ready-to-use blog structures

Without keyword tools, spreadsheets, or manual filtering.

It’s basically the weekly content planning you’d normally spend hours doing — automated.

Want this setup?
➞ Like this post 👍
➞ Comment "CONTENT"

And I’ll send you the workflow JSON + setup guide.

(Repost for priority DMs.)

If we’re not connected yet, send me a connection request so I can share the link.


If you work in SEO or content, this will save you time every single week.

07 Schema Markup Types Every SEO Should Know!


Most websites use Schema markup.
Very few use it properly.

Structured data isn’t just a technical add-on. It helps search engines and AI systems understand your content clearly, which can improve visibility, rich results, and even click-through rates.

From Article and FAQ to Product and LocalBusiness schema, each type serves a specific purpose. The right implementation can make your content easier to interpret and more eligible for enhanced search features.

The problem?
Many sites either use the wrong schema type or don’t implement it at all.
If you care about clarity, discoverability, and AI-readability, Schema markup is no longer optional.

See the carousel below where I break down 10 Schema Markup types every SEO should know and when to use them. 👇

07 Schema Markup Types Every SEO Should Know!

Google Search Console has a lot of useful data, but most people only scratch the surface.


One of the simplest tricks I use is a Regex filter to find keywords we already rank for but haven’t properly targeted yet.

These are often high-intent queries where:
• The page exists but isn’t optimized
• The keyword isn’t in the title or headings
• The content partially answers the query, but not fully

Small improvements to these pages often bring faster wins than creating new content from scratch.

See the carousel below, where I show exactly how I use this Regex trick step by step. 👇
