Co-Founder

Stop promoting your company and offering on LinkedIn. It’s cringe and this isn’t the place for it. Show up, deliver value and all will come inbound. Seriously, don’t ask for anything. The lead fairy will just jump right into your DMs and revenue will abundantly flow.

See how delusional that sounds?

Listen. 

I’ve had people laugh at me for repping my logo. 

I’ve had people shame me for talking about how I help my clients. 

I’ve had people say I post too much about my offering.

Just bizarre. 

If you work for a big company and rep your logo, no one has an issue. 

If you work for a big company and share a case study, everyone praises it. 

If you work for a big company and talk about your products, no issues. 

The irony. 

My CTA:

Wear your dang logo.
Share those testimonials. 
Speak of your offer often. 

And do it without apology. You owe it to yourself and to your future customers. 

Some offerings I have right now:

1:1 Coaching (4 session max)
Team Coaching (in person and virtual)
Group Coaching (18 spots left for February)
Speaking (this is getting real real fun)
Retainer (1 spot left for this, launching in March - details in my featured)

And might just launch a global in person event here soon, inviting all 2500 humans coached since leaving corporate and starting Darrenmckee.co 🤷‍♂️

LinkedIn & Social Selling took me from the mailroom to the boardroom in 10 years | Founder of Darren McKee Co. & 531 Social

No alternative text description for this image

Out of the last 2,154 days, I've shown up and posted here on 2,151 of those days. 

After coaching 2500 people over the last 700+ days, I can tell you that the opportunity we have right in front of us can change your entire life in a short period of time. Truly, have never seen this platform like it is today. It is inning 2 on LinkedIn.

I normally tell you things to do that would accelerate your impact but today I am going to list 4 or 5 things NOT to do because I think most people don't understand what is considered catastrophic to a creator here.

1 - Being Hyper-Niche & Looking the same daily 

Let me explain. I love niche content, I really do. But if you are only known for that one singular thing then you will struggle to break out and you will have to be top 5% in that niche to capitalize. 

As far as the looking the same daily, yea that is my big one. I call this moment in time, the "bored and fast time." This simply means that people get bored with you faster than they ever have so you need to look different daily to shock your feed. You want them to not know what to expect from you and keep them on the edge of their seat!

This also means sharing short form, long form, pictures, videos, etc - have to create for all sides of the brain.

2 - Building a tight knit community of loyal peeps

This is one that I see absolutely destroy new creators because they think this is the way to grow while in reality it is the way to stall all growth.

Engaging with 1st degree folks, same people daily even going as far as saving profile pages in different tabs to get notified. 

Then, you wake up and you are in a 1st degree vortex which means you are hanging with like .000001 % of the platform and that won't let you grow. 

Go meet 2nd and 3rd connections and have some fun and get out of your bubble. 

3 - Creating fire content but not using the entire platform

This one is what most founders and c-suite leaders I work with struggle the most with.

Just because your content is good, does not mean people will engage. It is unfortunate but LinkedIn is a reciprocity social media platform, you have to give in order to get - no one cares about your title.

What I mean by this is, commenting on others content, responding to your comments, sending dms, dropping recommendations, introducing people to each other, teaching people through your content, etc. 

4 - Crazy formatted content with bolding, emojis, italics and other things that look non native to LinkedIn. 

This is one I have been watching for the last year and have a good amount of data on. 

The people consuming your content want to feel like YOU wrote it vs an outside tool or Ai so you immediately lose trust when it doesn't look normal. Your community starts to look elsewhere, and your impact dwindles. 

5 - Extensions, tools, automation (self-explanatory)

Why am I sharing this?

Just felt like helping you learn what not to do vs what to do. 

Go let this place change your life.
