Fast, Easy & Fun LinkedIn Writing. Advisor @ magicpost.in. LinkedIn Writing & Growth Consultant.

A useful piece of LinkedIn advice:

Don’t worry about posting every day.
Don’t stress about people’s opinions.
Don’t overthink what your post says.
Don’t get anxious leaving a comment.

Nobody is thinking about you.

Cold, hard truth:

We’re all as irrelevant as each other.

Just go have fun :)

(found this cool image on ig by drex.dsgn)

Could your LinkedIn game be better?

I've posted 513 times this year. I never miss a day.

I'll teach you how here: https://lnkd.in/eE-6AE8f

Hold my beer. Save yourself 10 months learning LinkedIn. 

And copy my 3 step writing process:

(i’ve written over 5,000 posts using this)

1. Write the hook FIRST

- Hook first drives direction of the post
- Stops me swerving off writing nonsense
- Gives my writing purpose from the off
- Helps me stay on topic throughout
- Directs focus on the problem I’m solving

6 hook templates for you to try:

- How to {dream outcome} without {main obstacle}
- The best way to {dream outcome}
- How I {dream outcome} in {specific timeframe}
- My biggest struggles as a {type of person} were:
- It’s weird {type of person} still use {tool} to {outcome}.
- I’ve been {action} for {timeframe}.

2. Share stupidly, weirdly transparent details

- I educate with 75% of my posts
- It keeps people coming back to my posts
- Share every detail of your process
- If you think it’s boring, it’s not - i PROMISE you
- People are obsessed with behind the scenes stuff
- Help the reader solve a problem on the spot
- Add context to the detail you give
- Relate to own experiences, stories, learnings
- Actionable, actionable, actionable.

4 ways to structure educational posts:

- Problem → list why it’s bad → quick solution
- Hook → step by step guide → TL;DR
- Hook → numbered list of insights → summary
- Problem → agitate → solution

3. Sign off the post

- Simple takeaway the reader can remember
- Last line read → last thing they remember
- People forget the point of the post by the end
- Need to remind them or the message gets lost
- Emotional endings create action
- Think about it: beginning → middle → end
- Catch the reader off guard right at the end
- Make them think, laugh, sob, something

6 simple methods to sign off a post:

- A ‘yes or no’ question
- A motivational line
- An abrupt, sudden ending
- A funny comment
- A single emoji (i like ✌️)
- A Callback → re-iterating the hook

Then, schedule each post in magicpost.in and finito!

I’ve used this silly, simple writing process for 3+ years.

Over 5,000 posts.

And now magicpost.in is the engine I run it through.

Never fails me.

✌️

I’m calling it: this might be my boldest prediction ever.

The last time I shared this, I got ridiculed.

You'll want to save this for later.

I might take this down tomorrow, it's that bold.

This is MEGA news. 

Possibly my biggest, boldest prediction in years.

I might never predict something or call something quite as bold or as big as this ever again.

Share this!

In 2022 it was selfies.
In 2023 it was carousels.
In 2024 it was infographics.

In 2025 it was being human.

My most engaged posts from 2025, had hooks like:

- "My 1st LinkedIn post got 22 likes."
- "I'm 32. English. Married. I run a one man writing business."
- "I'm a simple guy. I don't need to:"

Weird to say that "being human" was a way to win.

But there's SO many people on LinkedIn that write posts like their manager or high school English teacher is breathing down their neck.

No matter the "way to win". Selfies, carousels, infographics.

They're all nothing unless you figure out human writing.

5 bits of writing advice for you:

1. Remove the stick from your butt
2. Stop thinking everyone's watching you
3. Write from your Lived Experience
4. Don't rely on ChatGPT to write for you
5. Use tools to accelerate your writing / creativity

Learn. Writing.

Not sure where to start?

I (conveniently) put together a 30 page book on building a LinkedIn audience for you here: https://lnkd.in/eJvYp7wa

It's totally free.

Fast, Easy & Fun LinkedIn Writing. Advisor @ magicpost.in. LinkedIn Writing & Growth Advisor.

10 things that held me back from enjoying writing on LinkedIn:

1. Perfectionism
2. Overthinking every sentence
3. Worrying about judgment
4. Comparing my writing to others
5. Waiting for the "best" idea
6. Forcing a voice that wasn't mine
7. Obsessing over metrics
8. Starting without a clear point
9. Over-editing as I write
10. Caring what people think

What would you add?

I'll be honest:

Most people I meet HATE writing on LinkedIn.

Or they're fed up of it. Or they can't be bothered.

After 4 years, I've figured out ways to make it fun.

I'll teach you how here: https://lnkd.in/eskmexTD

p.s. throwback pic to me in Feb 2023, launching my first ever digital product. it was a free 7 days of linkedin templates email course that pitched a PDF guide with 30 more templates for $97. that product ended up generating over $100k and 1,000s of customers. mad, eh!

90% of successful LinkedIn writing is being active:

- work on projects / with clients
- participate in hobbies and interests
- test your skills and expertise in the field
- live a normal, unspectacular life
- have opinions on things

Then write on LinkedIn what:

- lessons you learned
- outcomes you drove
- failures you overcame
- emotions you felt
- problems you solved
- steps you took

You ARE the ideas.

Write from your Lived Experience.

Easiest, fastest and most fun way to write.

At some point, I had to stop:

- overthinking every word i write
- stressing over who was watching me
- second guessing and doubting myself
- worrying if i was "doing it right"

And just say "screw this" and hit post.

Action is the best cure for being in your own head.

I have zero doubts of this.

After 4 years, 2,382 posts, 57M impressions:

If you're in your own head, with writing on LinkedIn.

Force action. Force posting.

Worked for me ✌️

I'll teach you my best frameworks for LinkedIn writing here: https://lnkd.in/eskmexTD

First LinkedIn post possibilities:

- Woah: Three job offers in the DMs
- That's dumb: Radio silence for 48 hours
- Actually pretty fun: 50 thoughtful comments
- Freaking crazy, man: 10,000 views overnight
- WOAH: Speaking invitation from dream company
- Don't love it, don't hate it: 12 likes from colleagues
- Least problematic outcome: Mum comments "proud of you."
- Won't happen, but imagine: Goes viral and breaks LinkedIn

I said this 1 year ago today. But I still stand by it:

Writing online is THE best confidence hack.

4 years ago I was too scared to go put a business card in a cafe.

(not even lying. ask my wife 😂)

Today I teach ex-Morgan Stanley C-suites, Amazon leaders and 7 figure business founders to write on LinkedIn.

I write on LinkedIn every single day.

Here’s 13 benefits of writing on LinkedIn that you probably wouldn't ever think of, but make a MASSIVE difference to your confidence:

1. You get better at writing → the more you write the easier it gets to say what you really think.

2. You find your voice → writing helps you figure out how YOU like to share ideas.

3. People see your skills → sharing what you know shows others that you’re good at something (aka self promotion).

4. You build a good habit → writing teaches you to stick with something and builds discipline.

5. You see that your ideas matter → when people like or comment on your posts, it reminds you that what you say is actually worth something.

6. You get stronger inside → sharing your thoughts and getting bad/negative feedback builds thick skin.

7. You stop worrying about what people think → the more you write, the less you care about being judged, super freeing.

8. You find your people → writing online helps you meet others who care about the same things you do.

9. Cool things can happen → your posts could lead to new jobs, clients, friends and other exciting chances.

10. You get more creative → writing helps you think of new ideas and look at things in fresh ways.

11. You see how far you’ve come → over time, you’ll notice how much better your writing and ideas have gotten.

12. You learn more about yourself → writing helps you process your thoughts and what you really think of things.

13. You feel good about helping others → your posts might inspire or teach someone else and that is an awesome thing.

Write.

Watch yourself become a more confident person.

✌️

Wanna grow your confidence and write on LinkedIn?

I'll show ya. 

I put together this 4 hour training course for you here: https://lnkd.in/ekj8PEhs

But I'm closing it today. 

So if you wanna improve your writing / grow your confidence?

Get on it!

After 4 years writing on LinkedIn, I know:

Being 100% original, all the time, is HARD.

- feels like everything already exists
- why listen to me when it’s been said before?
- i’m not creative ALL the time
- my own ideas don’t work as well as other writers’

So I’ll let you in on a little secret.

I’m not 100% original all the time.

Because writing that already worked, is already proven.

So the best strategy is:

Do more of what worked.

Here’s my exact 15 step process to keep writing banger post after banger post and keep getting more LinkedIn post engagement (without needing to be 100% original every time):

1. Go to magicpost.in
2. Go to Metrics
3. Select last 30 days
4. Sort by likes
5. Click on a post
6. Click Save as template
7. Go to New post
8. Select Template mode
9. Find the template you saved
10. Click Use this template
11. Select Close similarity
12. Write an opinionated subject, 5-10 sentences
13. Click Generate a post
14. Tweak and edit to make it ‘you’
15. Schedule to post

This process MASSIVELY increases my odds of hitting another big post.

And I don’t need to be 100% original.

I just need to do more of what works.

But now it’s your turn.

You should try this with magicpost.in if you’re:

- A ghostwriter wanting to grow your client’s profile
- A solopreneur wanting to get more engagement
- An employee wanting to quickly write + post content
- A consultant wanting to scale your LinkedIn posts

Or if you’re struggling for engagement on your LinkedIn posts.

(because who isn’t in 2025, eh?)

Re-use your best posts → get more engagement, faster.

Growing LinkedIn profiles with fast, easy and fun writing.

What else would you like to know?

p.s. i shared this exact post last monday and it went bonkers! so sharing again, in case you missed it.

p.p.p.s for all the people who messaged / commented willing me on to hit my $300k goal, thank you! i don't post this to gloat. there's loads of people who make more money than me. i post this to be transparent and helpful for anyone who finds this kinda stuff helpful

4 years ago, I didn't have AI to write my LinkedIn posts.

(yep, I did it manually like a chump 😅)

Instead of getting clients and making money, I'd:

- Waste my time overthinking every word I wrote
- Sit there like a prat trying to think of cool ideas
- Spend 1 hour/day on this activity that made me $0

I was a beginner in a time Before AI.

But in 2025, beginners don't need to waste time.

I just cloned myself to write LinkedIn posts in 5 mins.

Yes. I created an AI clone of myself.

But instead of:

- Spending 100s hours teaching myself AI
- Spending 100s hours building agents
- Spending 100s hours on prompts

I clicked one button in magicpost.in and it took 5 minutes.

Here’s the stupidly simple 8 step guide (below).

In this guide you’ll learn how to:

- Write posts in your tone of voice every time
- Clone yourself as your own ghostwriter
- Create first drafts in less than 2 minutes
- Make instant tweaks to make posts mobile friendly

I love writing LinkedIn posts from scratch.

But magicpost.in is:

- SO fun to use this way.
- SO easy to use this way.
- SO fast to use this way.

Clone yourself → make writing LinkedIn posts simple ✌️

P.S. Simple question: do you use AI to write?

I do! It's how I write so much, in little time :)

How to clone yourself to write LinkedIn posts in 5 minutes

It's exactly 1 month 'till Christmas.

That means it's basically 1 month until:

2026. 

What. The. FOOK. Year's flown by. As it always does.

But one thing you may have on your list for Santa this year is:

Grow your LinkedIn.

That's great. Until you remember that you can't do this:

Stay consistent.

- can't post consistently
- can't think of ideas consistently
- can't create a system to do it consistently

It's the number 1 problem, hands down.

I've been a total psycho and posted on LinkedIn for 4 years.

- 2,300+ posts
- 60M+ impressions
- 185,000+ followers

It's been a ride.

I now am able to post 2 x per day and do it all in just one day of the week.

So the rest of the week I focus on my health, making money and life.

Today, on a live & FREE LinkedIn Live, I'll show you how I:

1. Plan my LinkedIn posts
2. Write my LinkedIn posts
3. Schedule my LinkedIn posts

...for a whole week, in less than 2 hours.

It's at 4pm UK time, TODAY.

Last chance to grab a seat here: https://lnkd.in/e_iRRvXH

(542 people are joining so far, don't miss out)

Plus, I have a gift for everyone who joins me on the Live.

So make sure you join and hang about to the end to get it.

✌️

MagicPost just dropped a new Calendar feature.

Here's how I'm using it:

1. Capture an idea on the day I want to post it
2. Fill my calendar up with post ideas
(really useful so i don't forget ideas)
3. Click 'Convert to Post' straight from the calendar
4. Write the post in the editor tab that opens
5. Add any media / emojis etc I wanna add
6. Schedule at the time I post e.g. 9:57am
7. Click 'Schedule Post'

Finished.

I love this because before (even though I was already using magicpost.in to write and schedule my LinkedIn posts) I used Google Sheets for planning my posts out.

Now I just do it in MagicPost so it's all in one place.

Try it out for ya self: magicpost.in

Cheers to MagicPost for making this whole LinkedIn stuff very easy, efficient and simple 🫡

My LinkedIn posts started getting more impressions when I:

Had fun writing them.

But most people avoid posting all together.

Because they think LinkedIn is "serious."

Here's what changed everything for me:

1. I stopped writing for everyone
2. I wrote like I talk
3. I shared what I actually think
4. I stopped overthinking every word
5. I wrote from my Lived Experience
6. I let my personality show

Now, this ain't easy. 

But if you're still stuck in that LinkedIn is "serious" thinking?

I put together 4+ hours of training on:

- Writing hooks that attract the right audience
- Storytelling that isn't cringe or embarassing
- Getting more clicks on your links in posts

(there's a nuance to that last one)

17 lessons. 6 modules. 

But these trainings are a BF special.

Only available to the internet until Tuesday.

After that they'll disappear, only for my clients.

It's here: https://lnkd.in/ekj8PEhs

Happy writing!

Your SaaS product is powerful, but your website isn’t showing that.

 And when it feels outdated, slow, or unclear… users bounce. Investors doubt. Conversions drop.

That’s where I come in.

I'm Altaf, Co-founder of VictorFlow, Webflow Premium Partner, and a SaaS redesign expert with 17+ years of web experience.

Over the last few years, I’ve:

✅ Built 50+ SaaS websites to look legit and perform better
✅ Launched 200+ web projects that prioritize clarity, speed, and UX
✅ Built 100+ Webflow templates used by thousands of startups

If you’re a funded or bootstrapped SaaS founder looking to:

  → Build trust  → Convert more signups  → Stand out in your niche  ...you’re in the right place.


Want to see what’s holding your SaaS site back?

Altaf Rahman 🚀

We saved 10 SaaS companies over $1M/year.

Not by scaling their ads.
Not by changing their product.

Just by fixing the one thing they kept ignoring:
Their website.

Here’s the funny part… every founder said the same thing:

We’ve been heads down on product… we haven’t touched the site in months.

And you could see it right away:

→ Pages loaded like it was 2015
→ CTAs fighting for attention
→ Messaging all over the place
→ Updates taking weeks because someone else handles it

The real issue?

They didn’t have a proper Webflow team.
Not one that understands SaaS, speed, and conversion.

Because let’s be honest:

→ Good SaaS designers are rare
→ Devs are overloaded
→ Product teams don’t have time
→ Freelancers are hit-or-miss

So here’s what we did…

We gave them one subscription that quietly fixed everything:

✅ New pages shipped in 1–3 days
✅ Clean design + conversion-focused builds
✅ Weekly improvements (not once a quarter)
✅ No handoffs, no delays, no overhead

And the results were… wild:

→  60% less internal bandwidth wasted
→  Huge savings in hiring + freelance costs
→  Faster launches, cleaner UX, higher conversions

No drama.
No big agency fluff.

Just consistent execution that compounds.

All 10 SaaS teams are still with us, because once the website stops slowing you down, growth feels a whole lot easier.

If your site is outdated, slow to update, or just not converting…

This might be the easiest win you get this quarter.

Subscription Plan for SaaS

I’ve been running my web agency for 12+ years…

And I still take a fixed salary from my own company.

Last month, I got a flood of DMs.

→ Not about design.
→ Not about clients.
→ Not about Webflow.

But about money.

→ How do I earn fast?
→ How do I make lakhs quickly?
→ How do I settle in a few months through design?

And look, I get it.

Money matters.
Life doesn’t pause.

But here’s the honest truth:

👉 If I had chased only money in the beginning, Victoflow wouldn’t exist today.

No brand.
No clients.
No team.
Nothing.

Here are the 3 things that actually helped me grow, slowly, steadily, and safely:

1️⃣ Don’t upgrade your lifestyle before upgrading your business.

The moment you make a profit, it’s tempting to buy:
New phone, new bike, new whatever.

But the real smart move is:

• Hire help
• Build a team
• Take more projects
• Strengthen the base

Lifestyle can wait.
Growth can’t.

2️⃣ Pay yourself a fixed salary. Always.

Whether your company earns 2L or 20L…
Your salary stays the same.

This one habit saved us during slow seasons.

3️⃣ Slow months are normal. Don’t panic.

Every agency has quiet weeks.

What helped us survive:

• Saving during peak seasons
• Offering add-ons
• Diversifying income
• Staying consistent, not desperate

And the biggest lesson you should learn:

✅ Take care of your team.
✅ Teach them.
✅ Support them.
✅ Grow with them.

When your team rises, your company grows without you pushing every day.

12 years later, here’s what I truly believe:

• Don’t build for quick money.
• Build for long-term freedom.

📌 If you’re in the design or agency world, follow Altaf Rahman 🚀, I share real lessons that actually help.

If I designed your website today to bring in $$$$…

Here’s exactly what I’d fix first 👇

1️⃣ Say what you do in one clear sentence (no guessing)
2️⃣ Make your hero CTA the only obvious action (more clicks)
3️⃣ Show the problem you solve in 5 seconds (faster clarity)
4️⃣ Use real social proof above the fold (instant trust)
5️⃣ Show the product/UI immediately (people buy what they see)
6️⃣ Cut 50% of the text (readability = conversions)
7️⃣ Fix spacing & hierarchy (your design shouldn’t confuse)
8️⃣ Remove distracting buttons/links (keep users focused)
9️⃣ Add 1 simple value prop section (why choose you?)
🔟 Make the mobile version flawless (60–70% traffic depends on it)

When you combine these, sales rates increase because clients finally understand what you do and why they should care.

Your homepage shouldn’t make people think.
It should make them say, “Yes, this is what I need.”

If you’re a new UI/UX designer, read this before you design another button.

Most beginners focus on the wrong things:

❌ Fancy gradients
❌ Cool animations
❌ Trendy fonts
❌ Dribbble-style layouts

They look pretty…
But they don’t actually help real users.

Here are 5 simple rules that will make you better than most juniors:

1️⃣ Design for clarity, not decoration
If people have to stop and think, something’s off.

2️⃣ Reduce decisions
Too many options = confused brains. Keep it obvious.

3️⃣ Prioritize hierarchy
Guide the eye:
→ What matters first
→ What to click
→ What happens next

4️⃣ Make actions obvious
Your primary CTA should feel like “the” choice. Not a guess.

5️⃣ Test with real humans
Not designers. Not your roommate. Actual users.

UI/UX isn’t about making screens pretty.
It’s about making them feel easy.

Learn how people think, not just how pixels look.

Do that, and clients will remember your name.

I share practical UI/UX lessons, real client stories, and simple frameworks to help you grow faster.

If this helped, do one thing:
🔁 Share it to help another designer level up.

I share practical UI/UX lessons, real client stories, and simple frame

I nearly closed 4 website redesign clients in ONE day.

These are the strategies that helped the most.

Most designers struggle to close even one client.

And it’s not because they’re bad.
It’s because no one teaches them how to talk to clients.

Closing isn’t hard when you focus on the right things.

Here’s what actually works 👇

1️⃣ Be clear. Not clever.

Clients don’t want big words.
They want simple explanations.
If they instantly understand you → they trust you.

2️⃣ Show the problem.

Don’t say: Your site is slow and outdated.
Say: Your users can’t find value in 3 seconds, that’s why conversions drop.

One sentence.
Big impact.

3️⃣ Give value in the first message.

A quick UX fix.
A simple layout suggestion.
A better CTA idea.

Small insights create huge authority.

4️⃣ Don’t chase. Create space.

If a lead goes quiet, I send one line:
Whenever this becomes a priority, I’m here.

This keeps respect high and pressure low.

5️⃣ Stay calm on calls.

Clients don’t buy hype.
They buy confidence.
Talk like someone who’s solved this 100+ times.

Something I learned after 150+ projects:

People don’t choose the best designer.
They choose the one who makes everything feel easier.

And once you understand that
Closing becomes way less scary.

I got rejected 13 times before landing my dream client.

Okay… maybe not 13. But it felt like it.

When I first started as a web designer, clients would change their minds… a lot.

3 times… 5 times… sometimes more.

I’d spend hours on a homepage, only to hear:

→ Can we move this?
→ Actually, scrap that section.
→ Let’s try something completely different.

I felt frustrated.
Confused.
Exhausted.

I even wondered if I was cut out for this.

Then one day, it hit me:

→ The client wasn’t trying to make things hard.
→ They just didn’t know exactly what they wanted.
→ They needed clarity, and I could help give it.

So I tried something simple:

✅ Keep track of every version
✅ Share small parts instead of waiting for the full design
✅ Ask simple questions: Which version makes this easier to understand?
✅ Explain the why, and give options, not just no.

The first project I tried this on?

6 revisions.
Finished on time.
The client was happy.

Now, when clients change their mind, I don’t stress.

→ I see it as part of the process.
→ It’s not rejection. It’s collaboration.
→ Revisions aren’t a headache, they’re a chance to build clarity.

Since then, every project feels smoother.
Clients trust the process, and I enjoy building more.

If you’re a designer, freelancer, or anyone working with clients…

Remember this: Every “change request” is an opportunity to guide someone to clarity.

📌 What’s the biggest lesson a client ever taught you?
Share it in the comments, let’s learn from each other.

The story of our first client…

💰 $10 → ⭐ 5-star rating → May 10, 2011

It wasn’t much money.
But back then? It felt like everything.

The project? Turning a 20+ page design into HTML.
A huge job for our first client.

Every page was tricky.
Every section had tiny bugs.
Every step tested our patience… and our skills.

But we finished it.
And the client loved it.

That $10 taught us things no book could:

✅ Listen to feedback and actually use it
✅ Spot mistakes early before they cost time
✅ Talk clearly with clients

After this first job, every project felt easier.

Not because it was simple,
But because we learned how to learn from each project.

A few jobs later, we learned:

→ How to set prices confidently
→ How to plan work better
→ How to turn feedback into growth

Looking back, that first client wasn’t just $10.
It was a launchpad—a small win that led to bigger ones.

If you’re just starting out:

1. Your first project doesn’t need to be perfect.
2. It just needs to teach you something important.

Every client, every project, every year, it all counts.

YouTube Channels for SaaS Growth

Stop guessing what your audience wants.

I used to waste hours second-guessing design decisions.

Then I learned how to make ChatGPT actually useful.

Here's what changed everything:

1️⃣ Start with who you're helping

→ Building for SaaS founders?
→ Freelancers?
→ Online store owners?

Their struggles aren't the same.
Neither should your approach be.


2️⃣ Give ChatGPT something to work with

❌ Vague: Make my website better

✅ Specific: I'm working with SaaS founders who get traffic but no conversions. What 3 homepage changes would make the biggest difference?


3️⃣ Ask for the roadmap, not just ideas

Tell ChatGPT you want steps:

→ First, look at your hero section
→ Then, check your page speed
→ Finally, test your CTA placement

Structure gets results.

Here's where it gets interesting:

→ Don't settle for the first answer
→ Push back. Refine it. Ask "what else?"
→ Test different angles until something clicks

Ask for multiple strategies.
Pick what feels right for YOUR audience.

Have ChatGPT write real copy, headlines, error messages, and button text.
You'll start seeing patterns in what resonates.

The key?

Use it immediately.
Good insights expire if you don't act on them.

One more thing:

Show ChatGPT your actual work.
Ask it to review your designs or copy.

You'll be surprised what you've been missing.

Your web projects don't have to feel like guesswork anymore.

🔁  If this helped, share it with someone who's tired of designing in the dark.

Your SaaS website is bleeding money.

Here's why:

I reviewed 50+ SaaS sites.
Found the same 5 killers:

Problem #1: Beautiful but confusing
Users don't know what you sell.

Problem #2: Hidden CTAs
Signup buttons nowhere to be found.

Problem #3: Zero trust
No logos. No testimonials. No proof.

Problem #4: Pricing mystery
Users shouldn't hunt for it.

Problem #5: Hero chaos
Too much text. Brain overload.

The damage?

- You built for 6 months.
-Paid $5k for design.

But users leave in 8 seconds.

The fix is simple:

→ Show what you solve, not how pretty you are
→ Put CTAs where people actually look
→ Display real proof that people use your product
→ Make pricing stupid-easy to find
→ Keep hero sections clean. One message. That's it.

Do this.

Get 10-18% more demo signups.
It's not rocket science.

The SaaS Conversion Checklist

If you’re still using ChatGPT as your main AI tool…

You’re playing on beginner mode.

ChatGPT made everyone powerful.
Yes, 100%.

But it also made everyone average.

Because when millions of people use the same tool…
The output starts to look the same.

You’ve seen it:

→ The same captions
→ The same emails
→ The same strategies
→ The same “10 ideas” posts

It’s not your fault.
That’s what happens when a tool becomes mainstream.

But here’s what the top 1% are doing quietly:

→ They stack tools
→ They don’t depend on one
→ They don’t stop at “good enough”
→ They let AI support their creativity, not replace it

If you want the edge most people will never see…
You need to explore beyond ChatGPT.

Here are 5 tools that work better, think smarter, and give you a real advantage:

1. Perplexity - Research that feels like cheating.
2. Claude - Writes with depth, clarity, and real reasoning.
3. Ideogram - Visuals that look like a full design team made them.
4. ElevenLabs - Turns your words into studio-grade voiceovers.
5. Gamma - Decks, docs, and presentations in minutes.

AI won’t replace people.
But people using better tools will replace the ones who aren’t.

Here’s what the top 1% are doing quietly

Nothing hurts more than putting hours into a design

And still getting zero leads.

Not because:

• Your design is bad.
• Your branding is weak.
• Your niche is too small.

It’s because:

Visitors don’t know where to go.
Your CTAs vanish in the layout.
Your portfolio looks good but tells nothing.

Because websites don’t convert on beauty.
They convert on clarity.

And clarity drives action.

You don’t design for looks.
You design for:

• Direction.
• Trust.
• Momentum.

So what’s the real problem?

→ Templates chase aesthetics over results.
→ Pages look stunning but say nothing.
→ Portfolios show images, not impact.
→ Services read like essays, not value.

Then the drop-off happens.

→ People scroll with no purpose.
→ Offers get skipped.
→ Pages don’t guide the next step.
→ And visitors leave before taking action.

And the pattern continues.

→ Pretty layouts replace real hierarchy.
→ Big visuals overshadow messaging.
→ Content gets buried.
→ The path to contact is never obvious.

Then conversions collapse.

→ Buttons aren’t seen.
→ Navigation confuses.
→ Case studies lack proof.
→ And leads hit zero.

So what actually fixes this?

Conversion-focused structure.

It restores:

• Flow.
• Intent.
• Direction.

Because a high-converting website isn’t magic.

It’s:

• Simple.
• Clear.
• Action-driven.

And when that structure returns, everything changes.

→ Visitors understand what you do.
→ Pages guide them step-by-step.
→ Your services make sense instantly.
→ Leads start coming in again.

This isn’t theory.
This isn’t guesswork.
This is how websites convert.

So ask yourself:

1. Is your site designed to impress or guide?
2. Do your pages show beauty or clarity?
3. Does your portfolio prove value or just display work?
4. Do your CTAs lead or get lost?

Because this post isn’t for vanity.
It’s a reminder most templates need.

Save it.
Fix your flow.
Build for action, not decoration.

And if you want a template that already does this…
Drop “TEMPLATE” in the comments.

Last week, a medical recruitment agency from the UK reached out.

They help doctors move to Canada.

They weren't unhappy with their website. They just felt something was off.

The design looked fine. Everything worked. But it didn't feel like them.

So instead of starting over, they grabbed one of our templates and asked us to make it theirs.

We did a few things:

- Cleaned up the layout
- Matched the design to their vibe
- Swapped in more human imagery
- Made the user journey smoother
- Built it all on Webflow

Nothing crazy. Just small, intentional tweaks.

A few rounds later, we launched.

And now?

- More trust when people land on it.
- More personality in the experience.
- More clarity for the doctors they're trying to reach.

Here's what I've learned doing this work:

Great design isn't always about big, bold moves.

Sometimes it's just about getting the details right.

A website doesn't always need a full rebuild. Sometimes it just needs someone to listen to what it's trying to say.
