Let’s stop the BS 💩 ‼️ LinkedIn only gives more visibility to the following content: 1. How to make 100000K a day. 2. How to go Viral. 3. Repeated Memes about Content Creation. (Not even funny) 4. Burn out and Finding Jobs. 5. Remote work Vs on site work. 6. Tagging Big creators or Repeated content. I challenge people to give me 5 examples of valuable & creative content from small creators that has recieved the praise it deserves. ‼️ Enough is enough 🤯🥊

The other day, I planned and filmed 6 short LinkedIn videos in a little under an hour. I still have to edit them. (Estimating that will take 2 hours, although I may speed it up with an AI editing platform I’m testing out). No wonder more founders aren’t excited about jumping on the video trend. Content is time consuming. There are other things more pressing, than you trying to figure out how to become a content creator, video producer, and editor. And yet… Video is THE biggest opportunity in front of us. Imagine if you jumped into text-based posts here on LinkedIn a few years ago. You could have been at the perfect intersection of the right place, right time, and consistently taking action. Justin Welsh and others who started years ago know the benefits of this very well. This is the opportunity in front of you with video on LinkedIn. Will you be sitting around next year, wishing you had taken action? Or will you be telling people how your business changed when you went all-in on video? ⌛️ Don’t have an extra 8-20 hours per month to create videos? Let me take it off your plate. ⬇️ I help founders leverage videos to build trust... in only ONE hour per month. If you want to start, DM me and let's chat!

How I get more comments on my post... (your "ultimate" content guide) Well... I'm just going to give it to you without the fluff Here are 3 steps I use to maximize comments - 1. Multiple Touchpoints People have low attention spans They don't read your posts So... Treat your post as a set of mini-posts! So they can comment without reading the entire post. Basically, touch them as much as you can... 2. Shock Factor Statement Talk about - ↳ 69 things ↳ Your mom's cousin ↳ Hiring your parrot as a VA Why? It's quirky (I like to believe so) And it gives a fun talking point! 3. Don't be vanilla Honestly, 69% of people are bored here (stats can be verified on yourmomscousin. com) Be a trailblazer with a different style or approach to content. Use Memes and GIFs. Just don't lay out the same old guide for the 300th time. Anywoodles... If you didn't read the post Just comment and tell me I'm smart! Also, use pet pictures for better engagement. PS: Is LinkedIn boring or am I cranky cause I lost 1 year of my posts?

I decided to stop thinking. Sounds a little counterintuitive, but trust me, it works (or at least I hope so). Last night, I was writing a script for one of my clients, and halfway through, I thought, "You know what? I think I could improve my storytelling." Now, my storytelling is good. My client likes it, his audience likes it. (Subtle brag, but we've had three viral videos this month.) but I hate it. There's this guy in my head who keeps telling me it's not good enough. Anyway, before I knew it, I was watching Oscar Owen and Jenny Hoyos. From Oscar to Jenny and later Ali Abdaal and Think Media, I spent hours going through YouTube's awful unskippable ads only to conclude at the end that "Hmmm. I'll do this later. Better finish the script first." By then, I was tired and decided to just go to sleep. What's the conclusion to this weird LinkedIn post? Schedule self-improvement sessions rather than procrastinating on your work by watching YouTube videos. The guy in your head telling you to watch four hours of YouTube needs to shut up, and you need to tell him to do it. P.S. If you want a guy to stress out over your channel at 3am, I'd love to chat. #YouTube #YouTubeScript #YouTubeScriptWriter #YouTubeTalent #channelstrategy #upworkfreelancer #contentstrategist

My Creators 🎨🤳, I have something for you! Here's a productivity and time-saving tip to save you days of stress and overthinking. It's something many know about but surprisingly few do. Want to know what it is? BATCH CREATING ✨ Batch creating means creating in bulk. Yes, you can create a month's worth of content in a day. It might be exhausting, but it is definitely doable. When I wanted to resume creating content on my Instagram page, it was a struggle because I have a 9-5 job and needed to use my time wisely. So, I listed all the possible content I could create, figured out the format, and wrote it down. Then, on a weekend when I had nothing else to do, I created 20 days' worth of content and enjoyed every bit of it. The next day, I edited most of it and started scheduling it. For the next 20 days, I didn't have to worry about what to post or when to create it. I would just get a notification that it had been posted. I hope this tip helps every creator out there, whether you're a writer, an audio creator, a video creator, or any other type of creative. Share your time-saving hacks in the comments. Let’s learn from each other! #productivitytip #forcreators #timesavingtip

Finally!!! Making my way back to LinkedIn after a long time. ........ But this time I intend to share something new with you all. *Correction- Perhaps not 'all', but only 'with some people' Chances are you may or may not view my content much. 🙄 ........ Now- I love creating videos and carving some great stories out of them. So I thought of sharing my work/art(whatever you may say it is) with people. *correction again,- with 'some people' And perhaps there could be no better platform than this to start with. So I choose today to be the day to start sharing my creations with you along with all the experiences I gain from them. For now, I would say myself to be an amateur at creating such videos. But still, I would love to share even the sloppiest of my works because I wish to learn from both my bad & good creations all while sharing them with you. In short- 'growing from bad to good with you all.' 😉 ........ Now I created this video below by taking inspiration from the one whom I inspire a lot- Mradul Sharma (Akima Films Pvt Ltd.) Added my touch to it, but couldn't make it exactly what I expected from my storyboard. 🙁 And the best thing I learned from this guy- "Never forget your fundamentals." 🙇♂️ One quick insight from this edit- "Less is always more." (Will go into detail about this learning in the next post). #LinkedIn #videoediting #growth

There is no new content here When I came to LinkedIn with all enthusiasm to start demonstrating my expertise through content and sharing my ideas and perspectives on various career topics, I discovered that all the topics I had in mind had already been discussed on LinkedIn. At first, I felt a bit discouraged, but since I craved growth in this space, I had to activate my sixth sense. Here’s what I did differently: I sprinkled my personal experiences into those topics to make them more unique. Then, I injected my perspectives to convey my opinions on the subjects. No matter how you look at it, our perspectives can never be exactly the same. Don't sit back and say there are no content ideas left. You can recreate content from existing material by adding your unique perspective, experience, or story to spice it up and maintain its uniqueness. Ps: what are your plans for this weekend 🤔 #happyweekend #storytelling #youtubescriptwriting #happysocialsaturday #tips #linkedln

Last year I had no writing experience on LinkedIn (I used to post AI bored content) Today I write for professionals and creators. Here's how I mastered it in 4 months. - I saved good/viral posts - I practiced with them daily - I followed experts & study them - I posted weekly to get feedbacks - I took in feedbacks and work on them - I kept doing (1-5) till I can write without guide - I found my voice and what works best for me. You become an expert by being consistent in the game no shortcuts. Learn → Practice → Master → Excel. PS. I help professionals build their brands and write impactful LinkedIn posts. Need my service?

Everyone is jumping into LinkedIn video! But that isn't the reason that you should also. Here are 5 reasons to consider video: 1- LinkedIn is prioritizing video. The launch of their short-form video feed is a clear sign of this shift. 2- Not many LinkedIn users are doing videos yet. Start now you're going to stand out from the pack. It's a chance to make your mark! 3- We're all a bit tired of generic AI posts Your future clients are craving something fresh, something different. And video is the answer. 4- The versatility of short-form videos You can repurpose them for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, etc... 5- Video builds a deeper connection It's more engaging, more personal, and converts more than written content.

With almost 2,000 followers, I feel certain of one thing: Content pillars are dead; long live chaos. 👹👹👹 Hear me outttt 💁🏽♀️ I didn’t post here for YEARS. I had 200 followers in January 😬 Now? I’m about to add a zero to that 💅🏽 Here’s a sampling of what I’ve written about: -My personal life -My work-life -Writing ✍🏽 -Editing -Freelancing -Building community 🫂 -Optimistic, encouraging posts -Satirical takes on hustle culture And within those, I’ve covered topics like: -Pay transparency 💰 -Picking a niche -Pizza parties 🍕 -Cover letters -Job hopping 🐇 -Migrant rights And, oh, idk, about a million other things. I’m flirting with the idea of sticking to five(-ish) content pillars. But I remain noncommittal for now 🚫 For someone like me, who’s looking to connect with other business owners and ICPs (and use LinkedIn like it’s a journal 🫣) ... What do content pillars really do? They’re great for: Quick growth 🏃🏻♀️ Content ideation 💡 Consistency for readers 🤓 But I’ve gotta say, I’m still loving the spontaneity of my LinkedIn presence. And I don’t mean to jump to conclusions, but... it seems like thousands of people feel the same way 🫡 Follow me for more chaos! —Your favorite chaotic-good LinkedIn creator 👋🏽 P.S. You know I couldn’t post about the 2K milestone without a thank you. So THANK YOU 🫵🏽🫵🏽🫵🏽 I couldn’t do this without support from wonderful humans like Kristin Boyles, Alicia Boyd, Hanan Harb Sahourieh 💫 🧠, and Argenis Peralta, and all the people who lurk, comment, engage with, and share my work! Till next time, love ya, mean it. 💖
