Hey, I'm Maria — a personal branding coach and consultant based in Berlin. I teach solopreneurs to build personal brands that attract clients and opportunities. Lots of opportunities. And if there's anything I learned this year about myself, it's that I LOVE TEACHING. Being useful, helping you grow and seeing the spark in my student's eyes. So, I've been teaching hundreds of people through workshops, events, 1:1 sessions, communities...After working as a startup marketer for 4+ years, leading content-first growth and turning LinkedIn into the primary source of leads and revenue, not just vanity metrics, I decided to go all-in as a personal branding consultant and content creator.Since then, I've been lucky to work with brands like Framer, Notion, Tally, Pitch, ATworld, GrowthMentor, LeadShark, 12BRAVE, and many more.If you're a solopreneur or founder who needs clear systems and to make your personal brand drive opportunities, clients and leads for you — you're in the right place, and I would love to help!💜 DM me "LINKEDIN GROWTH" and we can explore how I can support you on your journey!I also created and manage two communities — Solopreneur Community (launchanyway.com) and the Notion for Marketers community (as a Notion Ambassador) in Berlin... because I just love people and learning from each other. You can find lots of free resources on my page and YouTube channel (@hellomarialeden).Other than here you can find me at a calisthenics class, grabbing vegan lunch with friends, or co-working at one of my favorite Berlin cafes.

Most of you are “winging it” on LinkedIn.

You write something because you "have to post", and hope it performs.

Then... crickets 🫠

I know, it hurts.

But there is a reason for this.
You don't follow best practices.

I made a 1‑page checklist that fixes common mistakes everyone makes at the beginning & helps you ship posts that actually get read, saved and bring the engagement you want.

I teach this to my clients & mentees and use this checklist for quality assurance of my own posts. 

When I launched the first version of this 2 years ago(!), it was already pretty solid.

But NOW, after helping well over 150 founders and marketers grow their personal brands, this is the new & updated version and it's even more valuable.

And trust me, this makes the world of a difference in how your posts perform.

Our launch/anyway solopreneur co-working sessions are the highlight of my year already.

Yesterday I hosted the 6th one and it was one of the most wholesome sessions to date.

Here are 6 tips if you wanna organise something similar:

1. do the introductions right before lunch, not at the beginning of the event. Some people may join later in the day. If you do intros early on, it will be harder to integrate them into the group later on. 

2. prep some (vegan-friendly, gluten-free friendly) snacks like grapes, bananas, cookies, nuts, clementines to keep people from starving until lunch and for the afternoon munchies ;)

3. coffee (and plant milks) are a must (I even brought my favorite pea milk haha) <3

4. for the introduction round, I ask 3 questions: 1. "what's your name?" 2. "what do you do?" and for nr. 3, I switch things up. Yesterday I asked "what's one thing you feel stuck with?". Then people would give each other advice during lunch. Other times I asked about tools, goals, resolutions, etc.

5. the last sessions were free, but had a 40% no-show rate (typical for free events) and it was harder to plan. Yesterday's session was 15 EUR per person, and only 1 person out of 17 couldn't make it (and they let me know on the day). Much easier to plan for!

6. check in on people about how it's going and how they are feeling. This one's obvious, but don't be afraid to ask, if there's anything you can do or any way you can help throughout the day.

These are my 6 tips! 🥺 

Thank you to ATworld for hosting us once again 🙏

ATworld is an app that lets you book day passes for co-working spaces around the world. Wanna get 1 month of free co-working? Comment "cowork" and I'll send you my code & the luma calendar link to my events.

Over 300 solopreneurs are waiting for the next session and there are so many incredible people in the community, I couldn't be more proud and excited for what's to come. I'm truly so so grateful I get to host these. 

Thank you for coming ❤️

A swipe file I'm finalizing for the LinkedIn Growth Community 😍

It's a swipe file with example posts for TOFU, MOFU and BOFU content and different sub-topics. 

Because I heard it a few times from clients - it's ONE thing to understand WHAT to post and WHY, but it's another to actually have examples to model and get inspired by ✨

This should help!!

Want me to let you know when I open the community doors (very soooon!)?

Comment "LIST" and I'll dm you the link to join 100+ people on the waitlist! 👇

Most people quit LinkedIn after 2 weeks.

Is it because they run out of things to say?

No. It's because it feels like posting into the void and so they give up.

No likes. No comments.
No motivation to continue.

I get it.

When I started posting, it was the same for me.

What helped me the most tho is detaching my worth from the performance of my posts.

If a post flops, it’s just DATA.

You need to ask yourself:

What part of the post could have been better?

- the hook?
- the visual?
- the message?
- the pain point?
- the structure?

Or maybe there are inconsistencies between the elements I overlooked?

You need a system to:

- See what's working (and what's not working)
- Schedule ahead instead of posting last minute
- Track progress week by week (impressions, followers, leads)

You don't need a lot of talent or luck. 
Just show up day in day out with a plan and collect lots of data.

Learn from the data.

Don't take every "failed" post to heart.

And if you’re trying to motivate colleagues or employees to post, you can use a tool like SocialKit  to bring everyone into one analytics dashboard and add a bit of friendly competition to the mix.

My plan was to host 2 online LinkedIn workshops in February.

Didn't happen 🫠 

Because, well, life... I'm sorry for the wait ❤️

But I'm now deciding on the times and dates for March workshops & I'd love your input.

What times and time zone would work best for you?
Are weekends better than weekdays?

Do shareeee below👇

P.S. and if you like you can also share your ideal length for an online workshop. I'd love to make mine more interactive, so you actually have time to think and do the writing / editing / brainstorming, so I'm thinking to make them 2 hours with a break? But I also know that may feel like very long to someeee

Can't wait to join fellow community builders next week for a co-working day and to meet everyone!!😍

Such a cool initiative!

To the people who hold space for others: Berlin Community Builders, this one's for you.

You bring people together. You create the vibe. You stress about RSVPs, no-shows, and whether the energy will be right.

While everyone else is having fun, you're quietly making sure everything runs smoothly.

Community builders deserve community too.
On March 12th, we're gathering Berlin's community builders for a coworking event at Techspace. Just honest exchange with people who actually get what you do, while we do it. 

So far we have community builders from so many different areas we are so excited to meet in person: Hot Boys CryIgor Ranc Daniele Ronca Maria Ledentsova Talent Crunch Berlin (TC) Pausify Alexander Maxelon Bolu Ajibawo Deniz Can Sebik Isik C. Jenny Lee Monica Leyva D. Shania Cooper Stefan Rusinov

Who else is building communities that matter? Event hosts, newsletter creators, ecosystem builders - who should be in this room?

Tag the community builders you know below. Let's bring the right people together. 👇
Because the people who create space for others shouldn't have to figure it out alone.
March 12 | Techspace → Link in comments

Any fun startup / founder / marketing events in Munich between 15th and 22nd of March? 🫰

Don't see anything fun on luma haha
