Checklist LinkedIn Templates

Watch this before you start building your personal brand.

One thing I see most of the people doing is sharing general tips in the same format...

That every other personal branding account is sharing... AGAIN AND AGAIN!

Literally every account in their niche.

And ironically...

They talk about "how to stand out as a personal brand"

Umm.. really?

Well...

Sorry to burst your bubble but...

If you and everyone else are doing the same thing, that means nobody stands out.

So, how do you actually stand out if you want to talk about the same topics?

Well...

You change the packaging.

So you move people from point A to point B (same as others), but through a different path than everybody else.

So the message (or the destination in this case) is the same...

But the packaging or the path is different.

And that's exactly what you need to do to create a solid personal brand.

If you can't be best, be different.

Does this makes sense?

So, tell me...

Are you also bored of creators posting the same iIIegal tools and 30 content ideas post and stuff?

Do you now want them to share something different?

Tell me in the comments below.

One year ago, I quit my +$250,000/yr job and moved to Brazil.

I went all in as a creator.

You think quitting a high-paying job for the uncertain life is crazy, right? Wrong!.

Here's everything I learned from launching a 6-figure storytelling business in one year.

1.) Beginner's hell is real.

Imagine being able to sleep well at night despite income fluctuations.

If you ignore this advice, you risk falling into financial desperation quickly:

The first 6 months drove of business drove me insane.

Income would come and go.

Nothing was solid and predictable.

But because I savings for one year of expenses...

...I could sleep well at night and make decisions for the long term.

The lesson:

Save one year of expenses before going all in.

This will help you make better decisions with being desperate for money.

2.) How to fix beginner's hell.

The truth about networking:

It's not about who you know, but who knows you.

This insight can transform your reach and open unexpected doors.

I began asking everyone I knew if they need a writer.

Or if they knew someone that needed a writer.

Odds are that one of those people needs or knows someone that needs your service.

Network like it's a full time job.

3.) Don't listen to big accounts.

Things change fast online. What worked last year won't work now.

Don't use mentors who are light years ahead.

Find a mentor who is one step ahead of you.

That's how you breakthrough obstacles.

4.) Become multifaceted.

The difference between a broke creator and a rich one?

The broke ones have one skill: Which is usually content creation.

The rich creators have multiple skills:

-Copy

-Email

-Advertising

-Sales

-Marketing

Etc.

Combine all of these skills and the world is yours

5.) The internet is A LOT bigger than social media.

People with email accounts 3.8 billion.

People on social media 3.4 billion.

Don't limit yourself to one platform.

Repurpose your content and make it work for you.

6. The smart entrepreneur beats the hard working entrepreneur.

Sad but true

The smartest get paid, and usually have the most time.

Don't chase.

You'll end up pushing a rock uphill.

Strategize to put your business in a position where you can push a rock downhill.

7. Everything takes longer than you'd expect.

Behind this successful year of business.

I've spent years failing with blogs, podcasts, and other internet platforms.

What you think will take a year will take four. So be patient.

The best things in life come with time.

8. Don't hire others to write for you.

I paid a copywriter $5,000 to write my first sales page.

The result? 1% conversion rate.

I hired a mentor to teach me how to write sales pages.

The result? 5-7% conversion rates.

I wanted to reshare this post, as I think it is super insightful and really sums it all up 😆

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐀𝐈.

I wholeheartedly agree.👍

I am working on several websites 🌍 and content initiatives at the moment and while AI helps in terms of ideas generation and understanding a segment or buyer (in theory), no one want to read blurbs that sound like they come from ChatGPT et al. 🤖

Your content MUST speak directly to the intended user or buyer, addressing their problems or interests, in simple, non-flowery terms.

You can play with emotive word choices and humour, show some personality, but use AI sparingly!

2 questions:

1 - Is LMM translated content equally identifiable?

2 - What are the best copywriting resources or educators out there?

I am always keen to learn more!

I see it every single day:

Fundraising founders drowning.

Stuck with a failed fundraise lasting months.

All the while never actually building your business.

But it doesn’t have to be this way, you know.

If you have the right systems?

You can do both.

All it takes is building out your own fundraising operating system.

That way you can fundraise more effectively.

And spend more time actually building the business of your dreams.

You can see more about how to do that in the comments below.

P.S. Building these systems is not a quick-fix. It takes time.

But these can be used for every single fundraise you do after, so its always worth it.

Turn your LinkedIn Profile into a landing page.
