Ty Frankel

4x Production Music Award Winner, 3K+ Songs In TV Every Quarter, Founder of Shut Down Music

Hi, I'm Ty. 

I started making serious money with social media in 2020. 

By 2026 I mastered LinkedIn client acquisition and made over $3.9M+ in organic revenue (no ads).

Now I work with agency owners, coaches & consultants to help them do the same.

All you need is a LinkedIn profile and offer.

You will sign 2-5+ high-ticket clients a month in LinkedIn Client Lab.

I launched the Lab in February '25 and 100s of B2B founders' lives have changed. Some examples:

1) Marcos Ruiz's personal branding agency went from $50K/mo to $80K+/mo in 30 days

2) Brandon's law agency closed $180K+ in new business in Q4 '25

3) Terrence booked 159 calls in 148 days and closed $100K+ in cash for his coaching program

4) Noah booked 32 calls in 40 days for his agency

5) Jenny took her agency from $0 to $10K+/month in 52 days while working a 9-5

What members say:

〽️ "We were struggling to get monetary results on LinkedIn for our clients. Then we followed Ty's 3-step LinkedIn process in the Lab. Within a few weeks we were getting the best results we've ever seen. Booking an average of 40 calls a month on LinkedIn and went from $50K to $80K/month"

- Marcos Ruiz, Founder of The Birdhouse (Personal Branding Agency)

〽️ "We've been killing. $100K+ cash collected in 148 days is amazing. I never had any kind of lead flow from organic and now my calendar is filled up and we're making really good money"

- TK (Coach)

〽️ "Yo Ty, just want to vouch for you on the LinkedIn side of our business, you're the absolute goat. 32 calls in 40 days is insane brotha"

- Noah Davis, Co-Founder of Communitize (Marketing Agency)

〽️ "Just hit $10K/month from basically 0 in 2 months. Scaled while working a full time corporate role. Changed my life"

- Jenny Jacoby, Founder of Your Ads Team (Marketing Agency)

lol.

B2B FOUNDERS: Sign 2-5+ clients/mo on LinkedIn | I make $50K+/mo from LinkedIn DMs | $4M+ organic sales | Join 100+ in the Lab 👇🏼

I pay my spiritual coach $4,200+ a month.

Best investment ever.

Rather do that a million times over.

Than pop bottles at the club.

(That can be fun too, I get it)

But truly investing in yourself.

Has NO substitute.

B2B FOUNDERS: Sign 2-5+ clients a month on LinkedIn | Content isn’t king, DMs are | $3.9M+ organic sales | Join 100+ in the Lab 👇🏼

I don’t care about making $10M a year and owning 10 supercars.

I wanna have 5-6 kids.

Be the best father I could ever be.

Live comfortably.

Travel the world, eat organic and not worry about $$$$.

Be happy and abundant everyday.

I make $50K+/month at 28 years old but have NEVER been driven by money.

Real purpose motivates me.

Money is just a means to an end.

I made more money than my dad by 21.

Even though he went to college at 13, Harvard at 16 and got his PhD from MIT.

I skipped college.

My dad is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.

One of the smartest (and best) people I know.

He chose the path to trade time for $$ his whole life.

Which is fine, I’m not knocking it.

But I DID learn from it.

From a young age I knew I was destined for something different.

That’s why I started producing music at 14.

Made songs for G-Herbo and Paul Wall, among others as a teen.

Then I built Shut Down Music to $2M+ in sales, 7 in-house employees, 70+ artists and 5-time award-winners in my early 20s.

Now I make $50K+/month helping people sign clients on LinkedIn via my paid community LinkedIn Client Lab and LinkedIn League coaching program.

While working 10-20 hours a week max.

My dad’s worked HARD his whole life.

(40+ hrs/week)

He focused on becoming the best economics professor he could.

I totally respect that.

I focused on leverage & systems.

You do NOT need a degree to achieve freedom and happiness.

I'm really grateful for my dad's path.

It taught me a million beautiful things and to build mine differently.

This is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in on LinkedIn.

Client of mine just got this reply in the DMs.

Who said LinkedIn was boring 😂

-Ty

PS get my free guide on signing 2-5+ clients/month with LinkedIn DMs:

https://lnkd.in/ebHyk6Yj

What’s the worst DM outreach message you ever got?

This is top 10 for me lol.

From a LEAD GEN guy nonetheless.

Like DUDE… 😂 😂

Making $50K+/month doesn’t make me happy.

Being in great shape doesn’t.

Living in Miami in world-class apartments doesn’t.

Don’t get me wrong.

I’m SO grateful for it all.

But what brings me true happiness is serving others.

Like when my client Aidan went from $0 to $26K+/month.

My heart was BEAMING for hours.

Or Marcos went from $50K to $100K+/month.

I was on cloud 9 rest of the day.

Or Terrence went from never signing a client from LinkedIn to making $150K+ from it.

Made my day.

THIS is why I do what I do.

Money is just a number on a screen after a certain point.

CHANGED LIVES is what your soul truly yearns for.

Learned this the last few years (I’m 28).

Glad I learned it earlier rather than later.

I used to want to have $50M in the bank.

Then I hit $50K/month and realized something.

Money is just a number.

All it actually does is buy your freedom.

What matters is how you FEEL when you WAKE UP.

I have friends who are depressed millionaires.

I have other friends paycheck-to-paycheck who are truly happy and at peace.

One is a rich slave.

The other doesn’t have $$ but they have peace.

So I found a middle ground.

I make $50K/month but only work 10-20 hrs a week.

I have time for meditation, journaling, lifting, deep convos & building something I ACTUALLY care about more than just numbers on a screen.

Freedom >>>> what your bank account says.

Make $$, sure.

But just don’t sacrifice your soul to do it.

Make $$ to AMPLIFY your soul.

B2B FOUNDERS: Sign 2-5+ clients/mo on LinkedIn | I make $50K+/mo from LinkedIn DMs | $3.9M+ organic sales | Join 100+ in the Lab 👇🏼

A prospect just went absolutely buckwild on me in the DMs.

Dude sent me 77 messages in a row at one point.

Entertaining YES.

But this guy would be the MOTHER OF ALL NIGHTMARE CLIENTS.

Check screenshots.

I’ve done $3.9M in organic sales, been DMing for 14+ years and never seen anything like this.

Ever had something like this happen? Hahhaaha like wow.

If you want to make $50K+/mo online you need to be cool with getting hate.

Some will love you.

Others try to bring you down.

I got these 2 comments on the same post back-to-back.

Hahahaha.

Comes with the territory.

When you pitch each other in the DMs at the same time 😂

No alternative text description for this image

Here’s how I made $160,117.92 in the last 90 days with ZERO employees:

1 - Built multiple income streams.

I have 3 things paying me $10K+/month.

Music royalties (completely passive).

My $297/month community.

And my coaching program ($10K per client).

Nice waking up each month knowing I’m making at LEAST $25K+ without lifting a finger.

2 - Sacrificed short-term.

I’ve been an entrepreneur since 14.

I’ll be 29 this Sept.

^^Damn I’m getting old.

In my early 20s I knew the music moves I made would pay me forever.

I could’ve taken quick cash and RAN.

Instead I signed deals with major labels like Universal Music, Red Bull, Warner Bros & Sony which’ll STILL pay me $10K+/month deep into my 30s and 40s.

3 - Kept it lean.

I only focus on what’s making $$.

I don’t try to do it all at once.

No small team.

I don’t own a penthouse office.

My only overhead is payment processing & software (approx $1K/mo).

That’s why I can work 10-20 hrs/week with 0 employees and do as well as I do.

4 - Only have low-friction/high-margin offers.

I don’t sell $50 PDFs.

I sell high-ticket.

My community is $297/mo.

My coaching program is $10K.

I can charge that much because I make people 10X-100X+ ROI and my results speak for themselves.

5 - Used LinkedIn as my #1 client source

My coaching program + community are FILLED with people who found me on here.

Brand + DMs are a CHEAT CODE.

I wrote this post while sipping on a pineapple/ginger/turmeric smoothie on a beach in Sri Lanka.

Life is good.

Excited to see where the next 12-24 months go.

PS want to build a $25K-50K+/month biz just on LinkedIn?

Your Lambo and Rolex are worthless because “status” is NOT real.

It’s a figment of your imagination.

I have tons of millionaire friends in Miami.

I ALSO have a bunch of backpacker friends I met in Sri Lanka and Thailand.

I can be on a mega yacht with millionaires and love it.

Or in nature with backpackers and love it too.

I don’t think I’m better than you.

I don’t think you’re better than me.

We’re all the same.

Status is a mind-made illusion.

Ignore it.

Lean deeper and deeper into your true authentic self.

Getting clients on LinkedIn is LITERALLY FREE.

Have you ever thought about that?

Sit with it for a sec.

Everything else is expensive.

Ads cost thousands of $$ a month

Cold email is super complex & at LEAST $500/month

SEO is $3K+/month for any kind of result.

LinkedIn is literally FREE.

We are blessed to be living in a golden age right now.

Take advantage if you have any kind of intelligence.

If you’re under 35.

And want to make $$ FAST.

You can do it in 3 months starting from 0.

Learn a marketing skill.

(Email, personal branding etc)

Pick a niche.

Send 20 DMs a day on LinkedIn.

Book 1-2 calls a day.

3 months later watch what happens.

(HINT: you’ll make $20K+/month)

Genuinely untapped opportunity for those that do this.

Just got this really bad LinkedIn DM from Nikolas where he's obviously lying.

He didn’t “find my company on here”.

I was thrown in a DM automation sequence with 1,000 other leads.

Why start a potential biz relationship off on a lie?

Just 1 of MANY reasons automated LinkedIn DMs don't work.

Join the Lab to ACTUALLY sign clients on here at the highest level:

https://lnkd.in/gar5Jr-V

The OBVIOUS pattern of people who sign 3+ clients/month CONSISTENTLY…

They master the 3 categories of INTANGIBLES:

ENERGETIC INTANGIBLES

1 - Charisma and swag

2 - Reading and mirroring a prospect’s energy

3 - Non-reactivity

4 - DMing from positive emotional states

MINDSET INTANGIBLES

1 - Detachment from sale and money

2 - Reframing rejection as a “misalignment” and taking the trigger out of it

3 - Being conscious and aware of their emotions

4 - Not pedestalizing prospects… mastering non-supplicating language

COMMUNICATION INTANGIBLES

1 - Playing devil’s advocate, qualifying well, towing the line between arrogant and confident to perfection

2 - Setting firm boundaries with love, strength and courage for truth

3 - Putting prospect’s well-being first (adding value, foreshadowing value, not going straight to sale)

4 - Asking hard questions without fear

Master these.

Layer the tangible skillset on top.

THAT is how you sign 3+ clients/month consistently.

MASTER both the intangibles and tangibles by joining 100+ in the Lab:

https://lnkd.in/gar5Jr-V

InMails are the ABSOLUTE WORST way to book sales calls and here's why.

It's because humans communicate in 3 ways:

1 - "Me, me, me" mentality

Get ghosted & laughed at

2 - Horse-trading ("You do X, I'll do Y")

Doesn't build trust

3 - Your needs are my needs

Gets a 35%+ reply rate & books 10+ sales calls a week.

Broke this down for a LinkedIn Client Lab member recently.

Want my full DM frameworks (booking 100s of sales calls/month)?

Then do this:

1 - Connect with me if you haven't yet

2 - Comment "DM"

I'll send you it.

My average day in Southern Sri Lanka making $50K+/month (read caption):

8 AM: wake up, go to world-class beautiful beach without my phone to meditate, ground, let go of thoughts, somatic walking

10 AM: cold plunge/sauna

11 AM: work out at gym

12:30 PM: eat lunch

2 PM: massage

3 PM: work for 3-4 hours + maybe beach again

7 PM: dinner

10 PM: sleep

I am living the dream.

What can I ask for more than this?

What a life hahahaha.

Signing clients in the DMs is so simple if you understand THESE 2 THINGS.

Outbound is dead.


At least… the way most companies are doing it.

Here’s what the data actually shows 

People don’t respond to cold blasts.

They respond to relevance.

Old outbound
– Spray 1,000 cold emails
– Pitch immediately
– Talk about features
– Drop a Calendly link

New outbound
– Build authority publicly
– Share insights consistently
– Create conversations
– Turn attention into inbound

The algorithm favors conversations.
Buyers favor trust.
And trust is built in public.

Outbound isn’t dead.
Irrelevant outbound is.

If your pipeline feels dry, it’s probably not because demand disappeared.
It’s because attention shifted.

Are you still interrupting…
Or are you attracting?

Thoughts ?

#Leads #Outbound #Marketing

Shiva Dudigama

I help founders turn content into real distribution — 50+ clients, 50M+ views, and visibility that’s led to Forbes features, Shark Tank appearances, and acquisitions.

Most LinkedIn inboxes are a graveyard of copy-paste messages.

Not because people are lazy.

Because they were taught the wrong playbook.

“Hi, I help companies like yours scale revenue by 37%.

Can we book 15 minutes this week?”

Delete.

If you actually want replies, try this instead

Start with context.

Prove you didn’t automate it.

Reference a post. A podcast. A hiring announcement.

Specific beats clever.

Cut it in half.

If your message needs scrolling… it’s too long.

3–4 short lines is plenty.

Earn the pitch.

First message = conversation.

Not calendar link. Not proposal. Not “quick call.”

Here’s a simple one that works

Hi James,
Saw your post about shifting from outbound to community-led growth especially your point about trust compounding over time.

I work with founders navigating that shift.

Would be great to connect.

That’s it.

No brochure.

No 6-paragraph life story.

No pressure.

Just relevance + respect.

The best LinkedIn messages don’t “sound professional.”

They sound personal.

Thoughts ?

#Linkedin #Marketing #Founderledbranding

Most cold emails don’t get replies.


Not because cold email is dead.

But because most people write them like this

“Hi {First Name},
I hope you’re doing well…”
Delete that.

If you want replies, make it about them not you. Nobody cares about your company. They care about their problems.

Instead of

We’re a leading provider of…”

Try

“Noticed you’re hiring 5 SDRs — usually that means pipeline isn’t where it should be.

Now you have their attention.

Be painfully specific. Generic emails get ignored. Specific emails get replies. Mention something they posted. A hiring trend. A recent launch. A clear gap you see.

Specific feels human. Generic feels automated.

Lower the ask. Stop asking for 30-minute calls right away. Try something simple like, “Worth a quick chat?” or “Open to seeing how this works?” Make it easy to say yes.

And keep it short. Under 100 words. No long paragraphs. No feature list. No life story.

If it feels slightly too short, it’s probably right.

Thoughts ?

#Coldemail #Leads #Marketing

Most people are terrible at LinkedIn messaging.

Not because they’re bad people.

Because they sound like robots.

“Hi, I came across your profile and would love to explore synergies…”

Delete.

If you want replies, do this instead

1. Make it about them.
Mention something specific. A post. A project. A recent move.
Specific = real.
Generic = spam.

2. Keep it short.
No one opens LinkedIn hoping to read a novel from a stranger.
3–5 lines is enough.

3. Don’t pitch immediately.
The first message is for starting a conversation.
Not closing a deal.

Here’s a simple message that works

Hi Sarah,
I saw your post about building remote teams — especially your point about async communication.

I work with founders facing similar challenges.
Would love to connect.
That’s it.

No pressure.
No deck attached.
No calendar link.

Just human.
The best LinkedIn messages feel like they were written by… a human.
Not a CRM.

Thoughts ?

#LinkedinMarketing #Messaging

Most service businesses don’t have a marketing problem.

They have a customization problem.

Every client = new scope
Every proposal = new deck

Every project = reinventing the wheel
That’s exhausting.

And it doesn’t scale.
Productizing your offer fixes this.

Here’s what “productized” actually means 
It doesn’t mean cheap
 It doesn’t mean one-size-fits-all
 It doesn’t mean removing expertise

It means packaging outcomes, not hours.

When you productize:
The problem is clearly defined

The process is repeatable
The timeline is predictable
The price is fixed

Clients buy faster because:
They know what they’re getting
 They know when they’ll get it
 They know what it costs

You sell faster because:
 No custom proposals
 No endless scoping calls
 No “can we just add this?” creep

The biggest unlock?
Productized offers turn your best work into your default work.

Instead of asking:
What does this client need?

You decide in advance.
“This is the problem we solve best — repeatedly.”

That’s how agencies, consultants, and creators stop trading time for decisions.
And start building leverage.

Thoughts ?

#Offer #Scaling #Agency

Most marketing agencies say they deliver results.

Very few obsess over customer delight.
That difference?
It’s everything.
Here’s why customer delight matters more than any campaign metric 👇

Customer delight turns clients into advocates, not just accounts.

When clients feel genuinely cared for, they don’t just renew — they refer.
And referrals close faster.
At higher budgets.
With way less friction.

Customer delight reduces churn before it becomes a problem.
Happy clients don’t shop around.
They don’t nitpick every invoice.

They don’t panic at the first dip in performance.
They trust the process.
Customer delight makes your work perform better.

Because clients who trust you:

Approve faster
Share better inputs
Stay aligned during tests and pivots
Better collaboration = better results.

Customer delight is a growth lever most agencies ignore.
Ads stop.
Algorithms change.
But word-of-mouth compounds.

In a world where every agency looks the same on paper,
experience is the differentiator.
The agencies that win long-term aren’t just good at marketing.

They’re great at making clients feel:
Heard
Safe
Valued

That’s not “soft stuff.”
That’s strategy.

Thoughts ?
