My personal brand changed my life. Now, let's change yours. | Personal branding + business coach

Your business doesn’t have to look like this:

→ Constantly chasing new clients
→ Revenue up one month, down the next
→ Wondering why things only work when you’re “on”

Truth is, most founders have accepted that as the norm.
But it doesn’t have to be.

“In short, Luke solved a problem I'd been having for months in the first 30 minutes of meeting. As someone who has spent $1000's on coaching and courses, I recommend Luke over anyone I've worked with.” - Steve Swift, Email Marketer

Here’s my backstory: 

I spent 8 years in the corporate world helping companies who made millions.

I did these 2 things to help them scale: 

1/ Keep clients happy (so they stayed)
2/ Streamline how the business ran

Then I spent 3 years learning how to write online, turned it into a repeatable system, and how to turn that attention into sales calls and inbound leads. 

That resulted in 1,000,000s of people reading my content, a LinkedIn Top Voice badge, and 100s of leads along the way. 

“After following his advice, I closed two deals totaling $5k… Now I’m maxed out with side work and can attract more clients anytime.” - JM Domingo, Email & LinkedIn Marketer

Then…
I took all of that knowledge and focused on helping founders build something sustainable. 

And helped 50+ founders to write online, sign clients, and scale their business too. 

I called it the Different Success model.

It works on 3 principles: 

1/ Attract the right-fit people with a clear (and fun) writing system
2/ Positioning your core offer to make it easy for clients to say ‘yes’
3/ Structuring the business so clients WANT to stay (and you get to work around your life)

“We accomplished together: #1 personal growth Linkedin Germany, 10K followers in 6 months, clients, podcast invitations, sponsorships.” - Alexander Plank, Mindset Coach

It's what happens when your business stops relying on constant selling, and starts being built to last.

You’ll attract better clients.
You’ll make consistent sales.

But the best bit: you’ll have the freedom to finish early, take your partner on a date, or travel without guilt, because the business supports your life. Not the other way around. 

If you want to see how I can help, here’s 3 ways: 

1/ Newsletter → Get weekly emails from me to help you grow + win
2/ Power Hour → Get me 1:1 for 60-mins (and ask me anything)
3/ Different Success → My 1:1 coaching programme (DM me)

For any questions, hit DM and I'll get back to you ASAP :-)

Luke Redhead

I built my business from a second-hand desk for years. [AD]

That little old desk helped me achieve a lot: 

→ 1,000,000s of impressions online
→ 50+ clients coached 1:1
→ 20+ talks and podcast appearances

(Fun fact, it was a second-hand desk from my uncle who used it to build his business)

But now we’re going for these: 

→ Share long-form pieces of content weekly (deeper breakdowns)
→ Create video breakdowns around content, offers, and business
→ Become recognised across multiple platforms (not just one)
→ Help more founders create calm money for their business
→ Collaborate with more founders + solopreneurs
→ Systemise the business for more inbound
→ Write more (because I actually love it)

And my favourite one: 

→ Finalise all the details for our wedding later this year

Laptop business is cool.

But a dedicated space to to focus helps a ton. 

So heres the new office, all set up and ready to go. 

(I love it)

Huge shoutout to the team at Plugable for helping me get this office set up properly after seeing my last post. 

They kindly reached out and sent me some tech to make the new office as productive as possible. 

Didn’t expect that. But very much appreciate it :-)

Now I’m off to get stuck in.

P.S - What do you want to see more of first? Long-form or video breakdowns?

“But posting content every day is hard”

Only if you make it hard.

I see this all the time:

→ Founders wait to feel inspired/ready to post
→ Then they stress about not feeling inspired
→ And that means they’re further from writing

And yet the clients out there still have no idea how good it could be to work with them, and business stays stuck. 

It’s a vicious cycle. (One that I’ve been guilty of relying on in the past)

Instead, here’s a solution for you:

I’m running a content challenge. It’s called the Timeless 9-Post Challenge.

The goal: Give you 2-3 weeks of posts using all 9 pillars of my Timeless strategy.

So you can see:

→ Coming up with content ideas doesn’t need to be hard
→ Systemising your content doesn’t remove your personality
→ You can write good content quickly (and get paid by new clients)

I was going to run this exclusively for my email list. But I’m too excited not to share it here too.

So here’s my offer to you today. Get:

→ The 9 pillars of my Timeless strategy
→ 9 post angles, prompts, and structure
→ Video breakdowns for all of them
→ 2 weeks 1:1 access to me for guidance
→ AND if you write + post 3, you get a 1:1 call too

For just £49.

If nothing else, you get 2-3 weeks of posts made easy.

Comment or DM me ‘9 POSTS’ and I’ll send you the details.

(Limited spaces)

I ran a content challenge for my clients over the past few weeks.

Some messages I’ve had:

→ “This challenge has been awesome can’t lie”
→ “It was EXTREMELY easy to come up with it once I had the prompt”
→ “I’m on fire this evening and I’ve literally been writing for about 30 minutes”
→ It came naturally, it doesn’t feel forced or salesy at all - I like it”
→ Timeless Content is GOLD”
→ “It was really good, really simple to write because it was more about the mission”

And my fave ↓

“I've had at least 5 people tell me that my posts really resonated with them and instantly made them connect with me so it's gooood!!”

I didn’t do it because they needed help writing. All of them can write really well.

It was direction they needed.

There are 1,000s of content ideas out there. And your brain easily gets overwhelmed when you try to think of them all.

But limit your thinking to:

→ 9 Principles
→ A handful of angles for each
→ A structure to use each time

You get words on a page a lot quicker (and get buyers to see you). 

Remember: Resonance is the way forwards. Not reach.

Focus on resonating with the right people = your content will do its job well.

P.S - I’m opening this challenge for a handful of people. You'll get 1:1 support from me + all the post structures to get timeless content out there (and get buyers into your world) Want the details? Check the pinned comment below ↓

If you want to sign clients, stop trying to impress them when you talk to them. 

Do this: 

Every single person I meet online, I treat as if they’re an old friend.

Not a stranger.

Most people are scared to get into conversations. Because their gut is telling them:

→ “You need to impress them”
→ “You’ve got to sound/look your best”
→ “You have to deliver some great value here”

And yet all the other person wants is for you to show up and be someone they want to talk to.

Which 99 times out of 100 is just being yourself.

Which means this happens:

→ Their guard drops (because they don’t feel awkward)
→ The conversation flows more easily
→ If it aligns well, an offer feels natural

You get a better feel for working with them from the conversation.
They get a better feel of working with you by how you are.

If both align and it feels natural, the next step is obvious.

(And it’s WAY more fun to make friends than just try and sell all the time)

P.S - This works in the DMs, calls, anywhere. Go try it. You’ll be surprised.

P.P.S - Free training here to see how I'm building a human-first business around my ideas (not feeling like a sellout): https://lnkd.in/eMjQtTzW

In 4 years, I’ve written 1,100+ posts for myself. 

…and helped 50+ clients to build their business here too.

So to help you, here’s every best lesson I’ve learned about writing online (so you can get clients too): 

1/ Attention first. Always. No one buys from posts they don’t read.

2/ A bad post with a good hook beats a good post with a bad hook.

3/ Forget vanity metrics as the goal. It’s a bonus. Revenue > reach.

4/ Going viral is a bonus. Conversions are the objective.

5/ Every post should move people somewhere → belief, action, inbox, email list.

6/ 90% of your posts should have a CTA. Direction = momentum.

7/ Sell yourself as much as your offer. People buy trust before they buy products.

8/ Call out your ICP directly. Specificity makes people feel seen.

9/ Clear beats clever. Every time. EVERY time. 

10/ Position yourself in your content so people think “I need to learn from them”.

11/ Playing it safe is risky. Strong opinions attract strong buyers.

12/ If someone can disagree with you, it means the right ones can agree. 

13/ Repeat your best ideas frequently. Most people didn’t see it the first time.

14/ Name your frameworks and ideas + talk about them. Familiarity builds authority.

15/ Trends get views. Depth builds trust.

16/ 3-4 good posts per week is more than enough to get clients.

17/ Don’t post for the sake of consistency. Post for some shift/outcome to happen.

18/ Move people from platforms you rent to platforms you own (like email).

19/ The human side of your content builds relationships (and sales).

20/ Build a world around your content so people want to learn more from you. 

21/ Don’t chase trends. Buyers care about clarity, not choreography.

22/ Your perspective is far more profitable than “perfection”.

23/ You don’t need permission to share your thinking. 

24/ You can’t build with 0 impressions. But 1,000,000 isn’t the minimum. 

And my favourite one: 

25/ Literally nobody on this planet expects you to write perfectly, or have everything figured out. Now more than ever. And that is the most magnetic, attractive thing for leads right now. A real person who’s sharing ideas and thoughts regardless of what “trends” say to do. Far better. 

I could go on. But my brain is tired. 

So a final question for you: 

If someone read the last 90 days of your content, would they know how you help? What you stand for? Who you are? Where to go next? 

That’s the whole point right there. 

Not the likes. 

P.S - I recorded a 29-minute video breaking down my entire content strategy to attract buyers. Check it out (free) here: https://lnkd.in/eMjQtTzW

I’ve always hated being on video.

Yet I’m doing a lot more of them in 2026. Simple reason:

1/ I want more people to see me in action, not just how I write about it
2/ People are more skeptical about AI, and video can’t be faked
3/ Sometimes concepts need to be explained in deeper detail

What’s beautiful is right now, the more ‘raw’ the better.

No editing = no chance of “fake”.
No cuts = nothing being hidden.

Clients don’t get on a coaching call and expect you to present perfectly.

They expect stumbled words. Thinking pauses. Ums and ahs.

So I’m doing a lot more mini videos to show that side of the business too. Which means:

1/ The right clients get a feel for my coaching style before we meet
2/ People spend more time watching videos > reading a post
3/ I don’t have to worry about “perfection”, I just hit record

I won’t lie, it feels good to just create and put things out there for those who it helps.

But it's also a great way for business right now. 

P.S - I'm doing videos to my email list/as freebies. I've only ever posted one video on here. Should I do my second soon?

You're not overthinking LinkedIn

You're underthinking how to capture the way you already communicate.

"My Brain Just Isn't Wired for LinkedIn"

The excuse you tell yourself while watching less qualified coaches build their businesses. 

You're a deep thinker.

You analyze. You strategize. You solve complex problems for clients.

But LinkedIn feels like a different language.

All those quick posts... snappy one-liners... bite-sized insights...

That's not how your brain works.

So you convince yourself it's a binary choice:

Either be a "real" expert... or be a content creator.

You can't be both.

Except... that's complete made-up.

The coaches dominating LinkedIn aren't choosing between depth and social media.

They figured out how to translate their deep thinking into digestible content.

But here's where you've been going wrong:

You try to "dumb down" your expertise for social media.

You attempt to compress years of experience into trendy formats.

You force your complex insights into templates designed for surface-level content.

Of course it feels unnatural.

You're trying to become someone you're not.

What if the problem isn't your brain...

But your approach?

What if instead of changing HOW you think...

You learned to capture how you naturally communicate your thinking?

The way you break down complex concepts for clients already works.

Your 1-on-1 conversations convert because you naturally make the complicated feel simple.

Your expertise shines when you explain things in your natural rhythm.

But the moment you try to "create content..." you throw all that away.

There's actually a way to reverse-engineer your natural communication patterns.

The specific ways you build understanding.

How you transition between ideas.

The rhythm you use to make complex topics accessible.

Then systematically apply those patterns to every piece of content.

You're not learning to think differently.

You're learning to capture how you already think... in a way that translates online.

Your deep thinking becomes your competitive advantage.

Not something you have to hide or water down.

The best content creators aren't surface-level thinkers.

They're deep thinkers who figured out how to make their depth accessible.

Happy Friday :)


P.S. What would change if your natural way of explaining things could work as well online as it does in person?

P.P.S. How much of your best expertise stays locked in 1-on-1 conversations because you think it's "too complex" for social media?

What I have been up to lately...

Two words.

"Creative strategy"

There is huge demand for this right now and just went through a 4 day INTENSIVE workshop by two 9-figure copywriters/marketers on how to dive into this path.

Think everything from ads, advertorials, upsells, listicles, static and video ads, caveman pages, top 5 pages, PDPs, checkout pages and everything funnel.

As you can imagine...

All this takes work and I'm glad I can think more now with these projects.

We get paid to FEEL and use our judgement to the letter now. 

The voice clone protocol will just be a side thing I'll probably show to my potential clients if they want systems for content but creative strategy will be my main focus.

It's a tough challenge.

Markets are shifting.

Compliance is not a joke.

Pressing pain points in a generic level won't cut it anymore. Market segments is a REAL thing.

Concepts are huge.

Angles are non-negotiable.

Styles are imperative.

Hooks make or break the ad.

From now on I'll always think C.A.S.H.

I will target the Health and Wellness niche.

It's very saturated but I was taught the KEY to beating SATURATION is DIFFERENTIATION.

I'm about to go on an adventure of a lifetime.

Oh and btw, I learnt how to USE AI to speed up the whole process too.

AI is the internet of 1994. To ignore it in ANY area is ignorance on steroids.

So that's the latest on my end.

Working on my new banner and the likes. Plus I will be breaking down my thought processes of some ads I feel strike a cord.

Happy Thursday everyone :)

P.S. Why is almost everyone here on LinkedIn using AI and bashing it at the same? time?

𝟗𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭…

Here's what usually happens

A coach will jump on a call with a prospect.

Opening line: "Tell me about your biggest business challenges..."

MISTAKE. Massive one.

Because this prospect? They've been through 4 other coaching programs. They've read 26 business books. They know more industry jargon than most coaches.

But a LOT of coaches are treating them like a Stage 1 beginner...

While pitching basic solutions to someone with Stage 4 sophistication.

Game over before it started.

Here's the uncomfortable truth...

Most coaches lose sales because they can't read prospect psychology.

They pitch time management to someone whose real problem is decision paralysis.

They offer accountability to someone who needs strategy. They create urgency with prospects who are naturally slow processors.

It's like speaking Spanish to someone who only understands Mandarin...

And wondering why they're not buying.

The coaches who consistently convert 70%+ of their calls?

They read psychology like most people read text messages.

Before they say ANYTHING...

They know exactly where their prospect sits on the sophistication spectrum. What their resistance patterns are. Which psychological buttons to push (and which ones to avoid). How their brain processes decisions.

That's why I built something different...

The Voice Clone Protocol doesn't just capture your communication style.

It comes loaded with 30 custom AI systems as BONUSES that read prospect psychology better than most coaches read demographics.

Systems that predict objections 3 conversations before they happen. That identify trust-building psychology and accelerate it from months to weeks. That find authentic urgency hiding in every prospect's situation.

Because here's what nobody talks about...

Psychology beats technique every damn time.

You can have the perfect script, the ideal pricing, the best case studies...

But if you're speaking to the wrong psychological layer...

You're just noise.

The Voice Clone Protocol changes that.

If you're ready to stop guessing what your prospects need to hear, DM "Protocol" let's chat.

Happy Wednesday :)

When people scroll past your ad in 0.2 seconds

Meta notices

I scrolled through Meta ads yesterday...

And counted the EXACT same hooks 17 times.

No joke.

Here's the 7 overused supplement hooks killing your conversions:

1) "Sick and tired of being sick and tired?"

Translation: "We have zero creativity."

2) "Doctors don't want you to know this..."

Because apparently all doctors are part of some conspiracy.

3) "If you're over 40, read this immediately"

Age-gating worked in 2019. Now it's white noise.

4) "This weird trick melts belly fat"

Weird how it's always a "trick" and never just... good marketing.

5) "Big Pharma doesn't want you to see this"

Same energy as "one weird trick" but with more paranoia.

6) "Harvard study reveals..."

Plot twist: It's usually a study on 12 people. From 1987.

7) "What if I told you..."

What if I told you this hook died with Matrix memes?

Here's why these don't work anymore:

Your audience has hook fatigue. They've seen these 1,000 times. Their brains literally filter them out now.

It's like banner blindness... but for your entire ad.

The algorithms notice this too.

When people scroll past your ad in 0.2 seconds... Facebook thinks your ad sucks. So it shows it to fewer people.

Which means you pay MORE for each click. And get worse results.

It's a death spiral that starts with a boring hook.

Meanwhile...

The brands actually making money right now? They're talking about sleep quality instead of "energy." Joint comfort instead of "pain relief." Mental clarity instead of "brain fog."

Same benefits. Different language.

Language that doesn't trigger the "ad filter" in people's brains.

Your prospects aren't stupid. They know when you're recycling the same garbage everyone else uses.

Treat them like humans having real problems. Not walking wallets who respond to psychological triggers.

P.S. The brands winning right now? They sound nothing like supplement brands. They sound like friends giving advice.

P.P.S. What's the most overused hook you've seen lately that makes you instantly scroll past?

10 things I am learning now to understand a buyer at a deeper level

5 is my favorite


- Core wound
- Pain Matrix
- Resonance hierarchy 
- Rhetorical frames (for hooks)
- Epiphany threshold
- Resonance hierarchy constraints
- Copy blocks
- PIG stories (Punch in the Gut)
- Benefit matrix
- Market resonance

I like Epiphany Threshold because it gives me touch points on things to say that will push my buyer towards the edge of believability. 

You can take shortcut here.

It's either you know WHO you're talking to or NOT.

No guessing work here.

It's been fun this past weeks.

Happy Monday.

The "Scroll-Stopping Thought Test" I use for every ad I write

It's subtle but powerful 

Last week I'm mindlessly scrolling Facebook…

(Like you're doing right now on LinkedIn...)

When this ad made me literally SAY OUT LOUD:

"Wait... how the HELL do they know that about me?"

And that's when it hit me.

Most ads suck because they're talking to EVERYONE.

Instead of talking to the ONE person who needs to hear it most.

Here's my test:

If your ad doesn't make your ideal prospect think "Holy shit, they're reading my mind..."

You haven't mapped the buyer deeply enough.

Most marketers think they know their audience because they can rattle off demographics.

"35-year-old entrepreneurs making 6 figures..."

Cool story, bro.

That's not buyer mapping. Think of it as census data.

Real buyer mapping sounds like this:

"You wake up at 3:15 AM thinking about payroll... again. The money's there, but it feels like you're one bad month away from having to lay people off. Your business partner keeps talking about 'scaling' but you're secretly wondering if you bit off more than you can chew."

See the difference?

One makes them nod along.

The other makes them lean in and whisper "How did you get inside my head?"

Here's the thing most copywriters and creative strategists miss...

The best ads don't just describe what someone DOES.

They describe what someone THINKS about at 2 AM when they can't sleep.

The conversation they had with their spouse last Tuesday.

The lie they tell themselves every morning in the mirror.

That requires you to go DEEP.

Not just "what do they want?"

But "what are they afraid to admit they want?"

"What would they be embarrassed if their friends found out?"

"What excuse do they make to justify NOT taking action?"

When you nail THAT level of specificity...

Your ads stop being ads.

They become mirror reflections.

And nobody can scroll past their own reflection.

So next time you write copy, ask yourself:

"Would my ideal prospect screenshot this and send it to their friend saying 'This is literally me?'"

If the answer is no...

Keep digging.

Because generic gets ignored.

But specific gets NOTICED.

And noticed gets PAID.

Full Breakdown of BB Company's Radiancy Meta Ad. What Actually Worked and How I'd Improve it.

The awareness levels a lot of DTC brands completely ignore

Most DTC founders are throwing money at Facebook...

Complaining about rising ad costs...

While completely missing 80% of their market.

Here's the thing...

Almost every brand I see is ONLY targeting two types of people:

Problem Aware (people who know they have the issue)

Solution Aware (people actively shopping for fixes)

Which means they're fighting over the SAME tiny slice of prospects...

With every other brand in their space.

No wonder CPMs are through the roof.

But here's what's wild...

They're completely ignoring the BIGGEST opportunities:

The Unaware Audience

These people don't even know they have the problem yet.

They're just scrolling through their feeds...

Living their lives...

Totally clueless that your product could change everything.

Most marketers think these folks are "impossible" to convert.

That's uhmmmm, not TRUE. 

They're the CHEAPEST to reach...

And often convert better than anyone else.

Because when you show someone a problem they never noticed...

Then immediately offer the solution...

That's not marketing. Think of it as REVELATION. 

The Identity-Aware Audience

Even more overlooked.

These are people who already see themselves as "your type of customer."

The dude who considers himself a "biohacker" but hasn't bought your sleep device yet.

The woman who calls herself a "wellness queen" but hasn't tried your supplements.

They're already mentally aligned with your brand...

They just haven't made the purchase yet.

But instead of nurturing these people...

Most brands skip straight to "BUY NOW" messaging.

Missing the easiest conversions of their lives.

Look...

When you ONLY go after problem/solution aware prospects...

You're swimming in a red ocean.

Expensive. Competitive. Brutal.

But when you expand into unaware and identity-aware audiences...

Suddenly you've got access to MASSIVE pools of people...

That your competitors don't even know exist.

Cheaper traffic. Higher LTV. Creative angles that actually work.

It's not complicated.

Some brands would just rather keep doing the obvious thing...

Fighting over scraps...

Then wonder why their unit economics are fucked.

Your call.

But don't blame iOS updates when you're ignoring 4X your addressable market.


P.S. Which awareness level does your brand focus on? Curious how many are stuck targeting the "obvious" prospects...

Look at this stellar cover page of this magalog

The headline is pure DISRUPTIVE curiosity.

"23¢ life-saver Heart Surgeons NEVER tell you about!"

That's hitting THREE psychological triggers at once:

→ Authority conflict (surgeons are HIDING something)
→ Price anchoring (23¢ = practically free)
→ Health fear/hope (life-saver)

But here's what makes this GENIUS for today's Meta landscape...

The "FDA-APPROVED for baby food" angle is BRILLIANT social proof.

They're not saying "trust this weird supplement."

They're saying "it's so safe, they put it in BABY FOOD."

That's instant credibility in a world where everyone's skeptical of health claims.

The testimonial structure is PERFECT for video ads.

Instead of boring written testimonials...

They've got specific STORIES with measurable outcomes:

"Heart surgery CANCELLED!"
"Angioplasty postponed INDEFINITELY!"

Each one becomes a 15-second video hook.

The "pennies per day" framing DESTROYS price objections.

23¢ vs. the "cost of a gallon of gas" comparison makes ANY health investment seem stupid cheap.

But here's the META GOLDMINE...

The way they STACK multiple health benefits...

Heart, arthritis, diabetes, cholesterol...

That's not feature-stuffing.

I feel this is MARKET EXPANSION.

One creative can target 6 different health audiences.

Same product. Different hooks.

The scarcity elements translate PERFECTLY:

"Named Inside" creates curiosity gaps.
"True-Life Stories" suggests authenticity.
Doctor endorsement adds authority.

For 2026 Meta, you'd adapt this as:

→ Carousel ads with each benefit as a separate card
→ Video testimonials featuring those "cancelled surgery" stories
→ Comparison charts showing 23¢ vs. prescription costs
→ Behind-the-scenes content about the "baby food safety" angle

The REAL lesson?

This magalog works because it doesn't feel like an ad.

It feels like BREAKING NEWS about a medical cover-up.
