It's embarrassing to say... but I postponed publishing my first social media post for 7 years 🥲

(if you’ve been overthinking posting online – or felt like “I’m good at my work, but I don’t know how to show it” – keep reading.)

So yeah... Seven. Frigging. Years.

Not because I had nothing to say.
Not because I wasn’t good at what I did.

But because I was afraid of:

• Being judged
• Sounding stupid
• “Not being ready yet”
• Posting the wrong thing
• Being visible before I felt confident

But eventually, I realized something:

Staying invisible was costing me more than being imperfect ever could.

Opportunities. Clients. Confidence. Momentum.

I knew I was meant for more than my 9-5 could offer me, so I started posting anyway – awkwardly, imperfectly, learning as I went.

Now, 2.5 years later, I have:

✔ Published 200+ posts on social media
✔ Gained 5,000+ followers across LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube
✔ Reached 1.16 Million views

...and today, I help experts and service-based specialists do what I struggled with for years:

👉 Turn their knowledge into a clear, visible, trusted online presence
👉 Speak confidently on camera (even if they hate filming)
👉 Write content that sounds like them, not AI-generated fluff
👉 Create posts, carousels & videos that build trust, not just likes

No influencer tactics.
No fake engagement pods.
No “let's-post-for-30-days-and-then-never-again" challenges.

So if you're interested in my approach, keep reading.

WHO I'M WORKING WITH

I work with people who are:

• Great at what they do 
• Early in sharing their expertise publicly
• Thinking about starting a side hustle / growing their own service

Like entrepreneurs, health professionals, consultants, photographers, developers, creatives, educators, marketers, beauty & wellness specialists, personal trainers, accountants – you name it.

So far, I’ve helped 370+ professionals and teams get seen, trusted, and taken seriously online – through live cohorts, 1:1 consulting, and corporate LinkedIn workshops.

HOW YOU CAN WORK WITH ME

👉 The "Just Post It!" Academy
↳ A 5-week, hands-on LIVE online course where you publish real content, build confidence on camera, and finally show up online – consistently. (link in Featured section)
👉 LinkedIn & visibility workshops for teams (online or in-person)
👉 1:1 consulting (limited availability)

So... if this resonated, send me a message and tell me:

• what you do
• where you feel stuck
• what you want people to know you for

I’ll point you in the right direction.

P.S. When in doubt, just post it ;)

What's your favorite? And what would you add to this list? 😄

And hey – if this post gets enough traction, maybe LinkedIn will actually add a few new reactions!

So, let them know by using your current (or new) favorite reaction 🙌

Proposal to update the LinkedIn reactions bar

If you've struggled with being consistent on LinkedIn, it's not because:

- You lack time
- You lack skills
- You lack post ideas
- You lack knowledge

It's because you haven't figured out a strong enough "why" and "minimal ROI" for yourself.

But how to find your minimal ROI and "why"?

Watch this video to get a quick motivation boost and learn how to stay consistent on social media ✊🏼

Watch this if you're afraid to post on LinkedIn, Instagram, or any other social media platform...

But want to get started in 2026.

I hope this mindset shift gives you the necessary nudge to get going ;)

Have a successful New Year!

P.S. And if you need any help with becoming more visible on social media and more confident on camera this year, reach out!

Dear LinkedIn user,

Before you do anything on LinkedIn – posting, commenting, applying for jobs, sending DMs – please make sure your profile is actually doing its job.

And no, that doesn’t mean “having something filled in every section.”

It means:

1️⃣ You’re clear on WHY you’re on LinkedIn
(new job, more clients, visibility, opportunities)
2️⃣ You know WHO your profile is meant to speak to
3️⃣ You’ve taken 1–2 focused hours to turn your profile into a digital business card, not an outdated online CV

Most people never take more than 15 minutes to polish their profile... and then they wonder why LinkedIn “doesn’t work.”

If you need help getting started, I put together a quick masterclass / PDF below to give you clarity on what actually works and what doesn’t.

And check the pinned comment 📌 for a small gift :)

Save this post and audit your profile later.

Sincerely,
Kristo

LinkedIn Profile Do's and Don'ts by Kristo Olli

The biggest fear people have with posting on social media (LinkedIn included) isn’t:

- Being judged
- Lack of ideas
- Lack of time

It’s actually: “What if I put in all this time and effort… and it doesn’t work out?”

I know it because that fear kept me stuck for years.

The good news is that there *is* a way to think about this that makes showing up easier – but it’s not what most people expect.

I explain it in the video 👇

And after watching, let me know if you’ve figured it out for yourself or not!

Message to my younger self 👆🏼👇🏼

I postponed publishing my first LinkedIn post for 7 years because of doubts/fears/excuses like:

- what others think of me
- I'm too young to even share my ideas
- I don't have the necessary gear to film videos
- there are far more more experienced people than me
- etc, etc, etc...

Fast-forward today, I've published over 250 posts across social media, and I help others do the same.

The only regret tho? Not starting sooner.

I hope this message finds you at the right time and gives you the necessary nudge to get going.

Just post it!!

Upgrade your entire LinkedIn presence in a few minutes with ChatGPT.

Paste this prompt into your chat and let it rebuild your profile from top to bottom.

. . . prompt starts here . . .

Act as a LinkedIn profile strategist.

Key Intention:

You will review every screenshot and text snippet I share and turn it into a complete optimization plan. The goal is to increase profile visibility, strengthen keyword signals, and create a clear personal brand that speaks directly to recruiters and decision makers.

Core Rules

• Always show my current text first.
• After that, write Recommended Version and provide your improved rewrite.
• Create a Missing Details section with the information you still need from me.
• Add industry specific keywords for {{INSERT INDUSTRY}} and targeted job titles {{INSERT TARGET ROLE OR TITLE}}.
• Close each section with a Quick Fix list of three to five simple actions.
• Keep all planning thoughts private before responding.

Workflow

1: Overall Profile Review

• Share first impressions of tone, clarity, and positioning.
• Point out the five biggest gaps hurting visibility.

2: Headline

• Analyse the headline for value, keyword strength, and clarity.
• Provide three headline alternatives under 220 characters, each focused on results.

3: About Section

• Identify strengths and weaknesses in the current version.
• Rewrite the summary into a clear narrative of up to 2,000 characters including quantifiable results, top skills, and a short call to action.

4: Experience

• For every position, highlight missing data such as metrics, responsibilities, budgets, and team size.
• Rewrite each role with three to five high impact bullets using the Action → Task → Outcome structure.
• Suggest reordering roles if it improves relevance.

5: Skills

• Recommend the 50 most valuable skills recruiters look for in {{INSERT INDUSTRY}}.
• Flag weak, duplicated, or irrelevant skills to remove.

6: Recommendations

• Suggest who I should request recommendations from including supervisors, partners, and clients.
• Write a short outreach message and a polished two paragraph sample recommendation.

7: Additional Profile Sections

• Provide a banner concept (1584 × 396).
• Suggest what to add in the Featured section such as top performing posts, portfolio items, or external media
• Recommend certifications, voluntary work, or publications that support my brand

8: Industry Benchmarks

• List three top tier LinkedIn profiles in {{INSERT INDUSTRY}}.
• Add bullet points summarizing what makes them effective.

Content and Engagement Plan

• Build a 30 day posting plan with one theme and one hook per week.
• Suggest five LinkedIn groups and ten relevant industry voices to engage with.

Work carefully. Follow the steps in sequence.

Take your time. Let this prompt rebuild everything with clarity.
Your next upgrade starts the moment you paste it in.

CHATGPT HAS A HIDDEN MODE.

Most people never turn it on.

When you do, it stops answering questions and starts upgrading how you think.

Here are 7 prompts that feel illegal once you use them.

1: Think like the top 0.1 percent

Prompt:

You are a thinking coach trained on the minds of elite builders and long term thinkers. Rewire how I think so I see systems, leverage, second order effects, and asymmetric outcomes. Give me daily mental models that slowly replace average thinking with elite thinking.

2: Learn anything at unfair speed

Prompt:

You are a neuro optimized tutor. I want to learn any complex skill faster than most people. Build me a weekly learning plan using active recall, spaced repetition, interleaving, and the Feynman method. Apply it to [topic] so I can reach top level performance in 90 days.

3: Absorb expert knowledge from zero

Prompt:

You are a world class expert in [skill]. Train me like a real apprentice. Start from beginner and move to mastery. Break everything into stages, drills, real world practice, rare resources, and shortcuts most people never see.

4: Upgrade your mental operating system

Prompt:

You are my cognitive system engineer. Audit how I currently think, decide, react, and focus based on this description [describe yourself]. Then rebuild my mental operating system for clarity, speed, memory, creativity, and emotional control.

5: Architect a high performance life

Prompt:

You are my life systems designer. Help me build a high performance life around health, wealth, time freedom, relationships, and purpose. Design my daily structure, habits to lock in, people to avoid, environments to build, and beliefs to rewire.

6: Compress years into months

Prompt:

You are a leverage strategist. I want to achieve in one year what usually takes ten. Based on my goal [insert goal], create a high leverage plan using tools, delegation, automation, AI, and focused execution to skip unnecessary steps.

7: Become your future self

Prompt:

You are a psychological reprogrammer. My goal is to become [ideal version]. Help me break my current identity, remove limiting patterns, and install a new self image, behavior system, and thinking framework that matches my highest potential.

Most people use ChatGPT like Google.

A few use it like a personal upgrade engine.

Choose wisely.

If this helped, follow Maryam Asim for more practical systems you can actually use.

Most people only test one AI model.
I tested all four ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok.

Here’s how they actually compare:

1. ChatGPT (The All Rounder)

Handles writing, coding, ideas, video, and even browsing.
Perfect for productivity and creative work.
Needs precise prompts for accuracy.
Paid tier unlocks its best power.


2. Claude (The Deep Thinker)

Excellent for reasoning, research, and legal writing.
Reads 200k+ tokens easily with strong logic.
No native image or audio support yet.
Plays too safe on creative writing.


3. Gemini (The Google Native)

Built into Docs, Gmail, and Sheets perfect for teamwork.
Turns messy inputs into reports or slides instantly.
Works best inside Google’s ecosystem.
Still rougher than ChatGPT for longer content.


4. Grok (The Social One)

Real time access to X data and live trends.
Fast, witty, and built for creators and memes.
Not ideal for deep research or long form.
Limited to X’s environment for now.


ChatGPT = Versatile
Claude = Analytical
Gemini = Collaborative
Grok = Real-time + Social

Each dominates its own lane.
The real power comes from knowing when to switch.

♻️ Repost to help others.

I used to think using AI meant picking one tool and forcing everything through it.

That mistake slowed me down.

Entrepreneurs do not need more tools. You need the right tools at the right moment.

Here is how I actually use it in real work.

I research where accuracy matter more than speed.
I brainstorm ideas where thinking matters most.
I manage email where  focus gets stolen daily.
I design slides where clarity beats decoration.
I organise work where teams usually break.
I run meetings where time is the real cost.
I analyse data where decisions carry risk.

A few rules I follow.

• No overlap
• One tool per task
• Replace effort, not thinking

If you feel overwhelmed by AI, you are not behind. You are just missing structure.

You do not need all 55 tools. You need a workflow that respects your time.

If this helped you think clearer, save it and tell me which category you struggle with most.

P.S. I share systems like this regularly. Follow Maryam Asim if you want practical clarity, not noise.

People keep asking me how to write faster and sound more confident online.

The truth is. most writers struggle because they start with a blank page instead of a direction.

I built this cheat sheet to fix that.

It helps you turn ideas into clean, structured copy without losing your own voice.

Here’s how it works:

• 40 prompts. one for every style you need
• Rewrite tools. playful, B2B, luxurious, authority tone
• CTA builders. urgency, curiosity, FOMO
• Story prompts. user outcomes, customer benefits, real moments
• Technical translators. turn complex ideas into simple language
• Headline variations. curiosity, scarcity, value driven

These prompts don’t replace your creativity.
They sharpen it, speed it up, and remove the pressure of starting.

If you want to write posts that feel clear, confident, and consistent. this cheat sheet gives you the structure to do it every day.

P:S: Want me to share a breakdown of each section. say yes.

❤️ Follow Maryam Asim for more tips that actually work.

8 billion people keep saying “2030 is far away.”

It’s not.

It’s 2026.
You have four years.
That’s it.

If you want to stay relevant, this is where the real work starts.

First. Your thinking.

AI refreshes itself every few months.
Your thinking doesn’t, unless you force it to.

Stop opening empty chats and hoping for magic.
Give context. Give direction.
Build one dedicated ChatGPT Project just for your work.
When a problem shows up, don’t rush the surface.
Break it down layer by layer.
Solve the deepest layer first. Everything else gets easier.

Second. Your technical edge.

AI’s growth curve didn’t speed up.
It doubled.

If you’re using it the same way you did last year, you’re already behind.

Turn on memory so it actually learns you.
Teach Claude your writing style instead of fixing drafts forever.
Use Canvas for documents so your thinking stays structured.
Build one Custom GPT for the tasks you repeat every week.

That’s how one person starts moving like a team.

Third. Your human advantage.

Empathy isn’t a feature.
Curiosity isn’t a shortcut.
Trust can’t be automated.

Have one real conversation outside your usual circle.
Ask people how they think, not what they know.
Follow up properly. Not politely. Properly.

By 2030, only two skill sets survive.

Skills AI makes dramatically stronger.
And skills AI cannot touch.

Everything in between disappears quietly.

Pick your side now.
Waiting is already a decision.
