👋🏻 Hi friends,

So here is the deal. Following the advice of my business coach, I’m going all in on LinkedIn. I’m flipping the script. In the past, I used to post threads on Twitter and then repurpose them on LinkedIn, and all I heard was crickets and more crickets.

Now, I will make LinkedIn my main platform and then repurpose the content on other formats like Twitter, Instagram reels, etc. When it comes to better use of my limited time, I think LinkedIn offers a higher ROI. I have already got a lot of leads and paying clients through LinkedIn even before going all in.

Here is the strategy I’m applying to increase my LinkedIn followers and convert them into leads:

🎯 Post daily long-form high-value content focusing on the storytelling journey and monetizing my writing skills.

🎯 Use images when needed.

🎯 Post a visually-appealing carousel once a week.

🎯 Engage with big accounts for at least 30 minutes a day.

What else? Any more tips?

Are you on LinkedIn? Join my LinkedIn party here.​

And as always,

Keep the spark!

🤩 Things that wowed me

---

⚒️ Tool: I'm loving the mind-blowing AI tool vidyo.ai. It converts all of my YouTube videos and raw clips into compelling shorts for social media. This is a game-changer. Down the line, it might replace your video editor. (No, this is not an affiliate link).

🧵 Essay: I enjoyed reading Ryan Holiday's essay 31 Lessons I've Learned About Money." Holidays argues that money is a tool, not an end in itself. It can be used to achieve great things, but it is essential to remember that it is not the only thing that matters in life. Holiday also emphasizes the importance of investing in growing your money. Overall, a good read.

📜 YouTube: If you want to make income from writing on Medium, then you better check out this video, How I Cracked the Passive Income Code on Medium ($6,000 from ONE article!). Frankie Calkins shares his experience of earning $6,665 from one viral article on Medium and provides five strategies for achieving similar success, along with additional observations on maximizing revenue and engagement.

📚 Freelance journey: Check out how freelance content marketing writer Jennifer Gregory earned almost $18,000 in March by focusing on quality over quantity.

✍🏻 Quote: I love this quote by Napoleon Hill in his book Think and Grow Rich ​
