Introduction

During COVID, I ran an experiment with personal branding. My friend Michel helped me get started on LinkedIn, and within months I grew my following to almost 7,000 people. It worked. But then I stopped.

For two years, I barely posted. I was running two different marketing agencies with completely different audiences, and I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t want to confuse people, so I said nothing. It’s a shame, because momentum is hard to rebuild once you’ve let it fade.

Now in 2025, I’m building my thought leadership on LinkedIn again from a much clearer position. This time, I’m documenting exactly how I’m doing it so you can follow along.

This playbook walks through the structure, tools and habits I’m using to grow visibility, attract leads and stay consistent without burning out. Whether you’re just getting started or want to revive a dormant profile, you’ll find a system here that actually works.

    Work backwards from revenue to figure out how much traffic you actually need, then calculate the maximum you can spend per lead whilst staying profitable. This tells you which channels are even possible before you waste budget testing everything.

  • Article

    Focus beats diversification. Scale one channel until it stops working efficiently, then add one more. Always have a backup channel started, but put 80% of effort into your primary channel.

  • Article

    The hottest traffic (people comparing you to competitors) is expensive but easiest to convert. Start there, dominate it, then work backwards to warmer traffic, then cold traffic as you hit channel limits.

  • Article

    Stop leaving reach to chance with random timing. Use a pre-posting checklist, well-timed publishing, and first-hour engagement to multiply impressions.

  • Article

    Boost LinkedIn reach in the week before you post. Warm the algorithm with daily chats, meaningful comments, a cleaner network, and new recommendations.

  • Article
