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.

✌️

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

5 tools you should use to run a one person writing business:

- Kit (for email marketing)
