Henceforth, I will not be accepting any LinkedIn outbound pitches unless you can identify at least one item on the 80's nostalgia board. 

Prove your Gen-X or millennial street cred. 

*I borrowed this idea from Erik Richison and added a decade because I was born in the mid-70s.

Give me two 30-minute meetings a month and I’ll make your personal social content kick ass. Done-with-you content production for CXOs, in your OWN words.

"It's 2026 and it's too late to start posting on LinkedIn as a thought leader." 

...is an example of a great hook for a LinkedIn post, but it's a total LIE. 

Unless you're a recruiter, or work in SaaS, AI or crypto, there's probably even still time to have first-mover advantage against your competition. 

But what should you post? 

Here's one great idea: Post something that designed to change someone's mind about something. That's what this post was designed to do. 

If you're on the sidelines, thinking about the opportunity of building your personal brand and your business using LinkedIn, it's not too late. 

Start. Even if you don't have a master plan. Action beats inaction, and experimenting will teach you what to do more or less of. 

Need a hand? I take the planning and the effort out of it for you, without sacrificing your unique voice. Your ACTUAL voice; not an AI approximation of it. 

Ask me how. Learn more about my work here, and schedule a call if you have questions: https://lnkd.in/gKaP9SB3 

Start the year off right.

Jordan's simple 3-part guide for what to post about on LinkedIn: 

I get asked this a lot, and I have a simple framework of three main content "pillars" or themes. 

1. The "transformation." This one is about the OUTCOME that your customer will experience after doing business with you. Note that there is no mention here of product or features. This is more about the warm feeling in their belly afterward than it is about the widget or service you're selling. 

2. The industry trend. I usually describe this one as the theme you and your competitors are collectively discussing. This is all the news that's fit to print in your market category or niche. 

3. The wild card. This one is personal. Follow Chris Do's advice of "911" where nine posts are giving value to your community, one is personal (your wild card), and one is a call to action where you ask for the business. In this topic, you can share something you're passionate about and let us get to know you a little better. 

On sales calls, I try to riff on my prospects' themes to give examples of all three. My go-to when I'm talking about the wild card is to say that I'm also a cycling coach and bike racer, and I give myself permission to share a pic of me racing a bike at least once a month. 

Hence, please enjoy this pic of me suffering on the Seymour Challenge in North Vancouver (taken from a team car window). This might have been the best athletic performance of my life, but that's a story for another day.

Here are Jordan’s three reasons why I’m still long on video on LinkedIn.

1. Because you can see and hear me, and that’s probably the best way for you to get to know me a little better. The same goes for you if you share yourself on video.

2. Because it’s still very difficult to replicate it using AI. We can still spot when people are using AI to create avatar videos of themselves, and so this is the most human that we can make this interaction. 

You can’t accuse me of using gen AI if I’m doing this completely unscripted, off the cuff, looking directly into the camera at you.

3. It’s the ultimate capture mechanism. I can use the transcript of what I’m saying and repurpose it a bunch of different ways. I’m starting with the absolute highest bar for quality capture, and I can use it several different ways after the fact.

#Video on LinkedIn, I’m still long on it. What do you think?

Thank you in advance for your likes and comments on this post, but you can stop reading now. This post is not for you. 

Let me be clear. I write these little missives with the goal of getting engagement. 

Your reactions are my currency, telling me and the mysterious LinkedIn machine that this caught your attention. 

But here's the M. Night Shyamalan twist: I drive more leads from "lurkers" than I do from the people who engage with my content. 

It's the weirdest conundrum. I need your clicks to get more eyeballs on this, but it's almost always a complete stranger who sees my stuff, finds my booking link and schedules a call. 

Why does it work like that? I don't know exactly, but I sure am grateful. I can tell you HOW it works, though. 

People see my content, and maybe it sparks their interest. Their next click is on my profile, which is a banger, let's be honest. It does the selling and links to both a landing page and my booking link. 

And hey presto, Bob's your auntie's live-in lover. Call booked. 

All of this is to say that it's still possible to drive business with LinkedIn.

But to make that happen, you gotta put yourself out there. Say something. Share your expertise, insights, and personal experiences. 

Every day, you see people doing that. They're not better than you. The only difference is they're taking action. So act. And yes, you can like this post and roast my AI image in the comments. After all, where would I be without you?

Stop what you’re doing and read this crappy, AI-generated post:

Just kidding. That’s not my brand. I’ve noticed a lot of AI content lately, and it has me thinking a lot more about personal branding.

These days, when LinkedIn and all of social media is flooded by gen-AI content and bots, the concept of personal branding is more important than ever. But what is a “personal brand” and how do you establish one?

It’s a great question and one you should be prepared to answer, especially as the leader of your business. 

By now, you know that your personal brand is “what people say about you when you’re not in the room.” But can you control that? Yes, you absolutely can.

How? By deciding what it is you want to be known for, and getting out there and sharing your thoughts. On LinkedIn, especially. I’m not the first one to tell you that you should be publishing thought leadership content, surely. 

It’s been well-established that C-suite leaders who post on social media outperform those who don’t.

It’s the most cost-effective way to grow your business. It helps attract prospects. It reassures clients. And it galvanizes your team behind your mission.

Where to begin, though? 

I can help with that. I help CEOs and other business leaders with their LinkedIn presence, and the first step is to do a short personal branding and goal-setting exercise. Typically, this is the first stage of my paid service, but since you’ve read this far, I’ll offer you a personal brand overview and a LinkedIn profile edit, completely free.

No hard sell, no commitment necessary, and no massively time-consuming homework assignments, I promise.

My best-performing content from the past two weeks is a comment on someone else's post, where I sang the praises of Diet A&W Root Beer (the best diet soda on the planet). 

This tells me two things: 

1. Diet A n' dubs is the 🐐 
2. LinkedIn is like a networking event, and you don't always have to write a best-selling novel to make connections on here. Just interact, and your people will find you. 

PS, for the locals: Can you spot the location of this pic? Best Fish n' Chips in Vancouver.

Here's how I write strong hooks for LinkedIn: 

First, I don't overthink it. We've gotten to the point now where our hooks sound TOO MUCH like hooks. It's the LinkedIn equivalent of clickbait. Ick. 

Do this instead. Write your post. Heck, even ask your robot pal for a prompt to get you going. 

Then take a look at your draft and ask yourself: What will my network think is the most interesting part of this? 

Then cut and paste that part at the top. Job done, you've got your hook. In journalism terms, this is often referred to as the "inverted pyramid." 

You put the interesting part at the beginning so people will start reading, and then handle the rest later and trail off after you get to the boring bits...

Here’s what happens when a CEO posts three times a week for 90 days:

First, it's the honeymoon phase. 

Engagement is high. Your network is very supportive. Colleagues come out of the woodwork to 'like' your posts. You're instantly more visible. The initial validation feels wonderful.

In month two, the DMs start coming. Deals that you thought were dead are coming back to life. Contacts reconnecting and saying hello. 

In meetings, people will say you're "killing it on LinkedIn," even when you have never seen them engage with one of your posts. You vow to keep going. 

Months three and beyond have more hidden benefits. They're harder to track, but they're happening: 

-You and your sales team have more successful meetings because you've helped educate your market and get them familiar with you.  

-More people apply to work at your company because you seem pretty cool and "down to earth." And they know what you're about. 

-Your team has a better sense of the company's mission and models your behavior and beliefs, because you're leading by example, in public. 

-Your competition seethes with jealousy because you're evidently much more popular and seem so aggravatingly confident. Yes, harder to track, but it happens, I assure you. 

All of this is possible, and it doesn't require much work. It doesn't even require any special skills beyond those you already possess. You just have to keep showing up and sharing your thoughts. 

Have I oversimplified this? Perhaps a bit. It helps to have guidance on what to say and a clear picture of the results you want. It takes time and can be hard to do alone. 

One of the requirements for being seen as a thought leader on LinkedIn is sharing content that is valuable to your network, and finding a good balance between variety and repetition. Yes, repetition. 

Naturally, it helps to have someone assist you with that. 

Someone who will plot out what to say and then put the finishing touches on your posts after you say it. Someone who aims to PROTECT YOUR TIME but still has you showing up to share your expertise on the regular, so you can realize all of the upside listed above. 

That someone, in case it's not obvious, is me. I'll make this easy for you, and everything we do is in your OWN words. I use AI tools, but not as a proxy for your thought leadership. That will always come from you. 

Ask me how, and let's chat about it. It's easier than you think.

Personal branding. What’s it all about? 

In the last three or four sales calls I’ve had with prospects, they've asked about personal branding.

What is a personal brand? 

It’s the way people talk about you when you’re not in the room. It’s what people associate you with. And you can control that. 

You can be known for something simply by showing up and talking about it. For me, it’s representing yourself on LinkedIn. 

If you’re NOT controlling your personal brand, or representing yourself and putting yourself out there on LinkedIn, telling your stories and sharing your thought leadership, you’re missing a trick.

It’s one of the greatest levers for growth, both for you professionally and for your company by association. So if you have questions about that, reach out to me.

Let’s talk about your personal brand and how I can make it easy for you to show up on LinkedIn regularly and build that brand with you.

When I "productized" my business, everything changed. 

And it still took me five years to really realize it. I mean, REALLY realize it. 

What do I mean by productized? I only sell one thing. I no longer work as a "consultant" or marketer for hire. 

Only now can I see it: the limiting factor in my company's growth was trying to do too much. 

I always thought my success depended on having an "anchor" client, like a fractional CMO engagement, as a source of income. 

I was wrong. The opposite was true. This year, something very exciting is happening. I'm earning more than ever, and 100% of revenue is from recurring subscriptions to my product. 

And the best part is that the whole thing runs on repeatable systems. 

I owe a special shoutout to Kelly Gibson, whom I refer to as my "Operator." She manages the SOPs for my C-Suite social media service and updates them regularly. I send a short message about something that is ready to be done, and she does it, no questions asked. 

After all, why would she have questions? She helped build the systems we use. 

Have questions about those systems and how we work? Send me a DM or ask in the comments. I'm quite proud of what we've built.

Brace yourselves, everybody…

Tomorrow is “circle back” day already.

Here's a mindfulness exercise for you: 

Take a deep breath whenever you see AI-generated posts and comments in your LinkedIn feed. 

It's like the opposite of a drinking game; it brings you peace of mind instead of making you tipsy. 

Happy Friday!
