4 writing principles that landed me 30+ clients in the past year. LinkedIn is getting noisy with millions of posts getting published every day. If you’re thinking that’s a lot. Let me tell you, the competition is just getting started. Currently, roughly 1% out of the 1 billion LinkedIn users are active on the platform. While the number of LinkedIn users is increasing, people’s attention span is still the same. To make my readers stay, I implement the following writing principles in my and my clients’ content- 1. The opening statements should compel your readers to take some action. In the case of LinkedIn, they must tap on “see more”. You can achieve that by- > Showing transformation.  > Showing social proof.  > Showing benefit. 2. A well-strategized content funnel that brings beyond vanity metrics When your ICP reads your content they must feel like- “this person knows their industry well. I’d like to do business with them”. You can achieve it by- > Sharing well-researched content.  > Sharing immense value via your posts.  > Sharing case studies that prove your expertise. 3. Right formatting to turn skimmers into readers People have less time and less attention span. They won’t spend more than a few seconds at your post. Want to make it worse? Tire their eyes with stuffed sentences, complex words, and no white space. Instead, > Play with sentence length.  > Use words that your ICP understands.  > Use arrows, bullet points, and minimal emojis. 4. A clearly defined CTA seals the deal Promote your readers towards an action promoting your services in every post. Consistently mention your product/service at the end of every post because you never know if your potential buyer could be one CTA away! LinkedIn is only getting warmed up. More people will join the platform in the upcoming months and years. To reap the benefits, you must have your content game going strong. 🌸 Share your no.1 writing tip in the comments 🌸 P.S.

Are you struggling to post content (daily) that feels authentic? 💻 Many of us know we should be posting regularly, but the fear of being inauthentic or sounding clickbait-y is holding us back. Not too long ago, I was scrolling my favorite LinkedIn inlfluencers' pages for hours, and wondered how could I somehow copy their formats but with my own words. And well, it worked to a certain extent but it felt so disingenuous because, let's face it, even if it is with your own words, it still isn't you. Your essence translates in everything you do but for that, you have to trust it. We just don't trust ourselves enough because comparison, which also happens to be the thief of joy - funny how we all know that but just keep doing it 😅 - is what stops us from pausing to create good writing. So here's how I've overcome this icky feeling and daily struggle, #1 Pick a place where you like to write and feel inspired #2 Leave your phone behind but grab your notebook and a pen #2 Set a 15 min. timer and start writing down every thought running through your head #3 Pause to reflect on your writing #4 Set a 30 min. timer and write the outline of your post I'm not inventing anything new here. Jerry Seinfeld is in fact a proponent of this method which has also made him a firm believer in that 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 is total bulls^%! Because to get writing you need to set your brain in motion and the urgency of a timer does wonders. So next time you want to scroll your linkedin or instagram feed, or the news or substack for inspiration. Ditch it all. Rely on your inner thoughts and urgency. It's all in there I promise, you just need to trust yourself. And nudge yourself a little - maybe?

Yeh, think it was June... June, 2023. I found my notebook yesterday. And as you can see, it's been on a journey. We both have. It was given to me last Spring as a token of encouragement to kick-start my writing career. Initials on the cover. Initials on the pen too. I'm sure you have something similar? I would have owned my laptop at this time, but the notebook was my go to. It had reignited my love for writing. With a pen. Thoughts. Plans. To-do lists. Looking back, it was quite the list too. Fast forward 11 months and I realise those boxes were never getting ticked. Not properly anyway. What I'd labelled as 'weeks' would be very much ongoing. They still are. Last night I updated the privacy policy on my website. Yesterday networking continued on both platforms. I know now that running your own business will forever have unticked boxes. Does that worry me? No. I'm quite infatuated with it. 11 months in... I've revisited the notebook. We've reflected on all that has been achieved. I think the pages will make for great content too. For those taking the leap. For those keeping afloat. For all. So nearly a year already. That 12 month mark is going to be very special. And you? Do you remember your first business to do list? What was at the top? Which never got ticked off? Tell me about it, I'd love to know more. ----- Whether you need blogs, emails, website copy or social media strategy, I'm here to tick a few things off the to-do list for business owners...freeing you up to take care of the rest. I'll look after your content, promise. #Content #Copy #FreelanceContentWriter #FreelanceCopywriter #Smm #LinkedinGrowth #InstagramGrowth

How I scaled the writing of LinkedIn posts: Recently, I did a LinkedIn thought leadership strategy for a client. As someone who is super busy, super entrepreneurial, and always finds ways to cut corners, they asked me to find a way to share their unique stories with the world, but to be cheap to produce such content. My answer was super simple. Hint: It has nothing to do with creativity. A lot of people think that if you do something technically, with a lot of mechanics and systems in place you lose originality and uniqueness. But it's not always the case. If you look at the web pages, the design and the copy, although the products are vastly different, the copy and design are the same. And there is a simple reason for that - it's familiar. People don't like it when you give them something new because it's scary. And "scary" is an emotion that causes status-quo. On the other hand, writing can be and should be the same sometimes. So to scale his writing, I just wrote a strategy where, even for technical writing, you can choose a storytelling framework and stick to it. That's the secret. P.S.
