I help personal brands go from lost to go-to | 2x Founder | Become the go-to expert in your niche

Your content isn’t the problem.
Your clarity is.

Most creators and founders are stuck in the same loop:

• Posting aimlessly
• Getting ignored
• Burning out before anything clicks

They know they should build a personal brand, but what they really need is a system:
One that drives traction, visibility, and real business results.

That’s where I come in.

I help personal brands go from invisible to in-demand by turning their LinkedIn presence into a lead engine.

I’ve built multiple ventures from scratch using nothing but content, strategy, and relentless clarity.
No fluff. No hacks. Just a framework that works.

What I help you do:

✅ Nail your message so people instantly “get it”
✅ Create content that connects, converts, and compounds
✅ Optimize your profile and presence for credibility and leads
✅ Build a system that brings clients to you

This isn’t about going viral.
It’s about building influence that compounds into opportunity—and income.

If you’re a founder, coach, consultant, or creator who’s:

• Done with random posts that lead nowhere
• Ready to grow your brand and business with intention
• Craving more visibility, impact, and momentum...

Let’s talk.

🟢 DM me “LinkedIn” to start building the life you actually want.

Dustin Hauer

Confused profiles don’t convert.

Most LinkedIn bios sound like filler text.

Nice words.

Zero clarity.

Here’s what actually works:

• Clear positioning.
• Tight messaging.
• Direct value.

And it all starts by answering these 5 questions.

1. 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮? 
↳ Not your job title.
↳ Your identity.
↳ Think in simple terms: What should people remember you for?
↳ Bake that into your headline and summary.

2. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧? 
↳ You can’t be known for everything.
↳ Pick 1-2 things you do extremely well.
↳ Say it directly.
↳ Then show it with proof.

3. 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞? 
↳ Don’t write for everyone.
↳ Write for your people.
↳ Clients, buyers, employers,
↳ whoever it is, speak their language.

4. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦? 
↳ What problems do you solve?
↳ What outcomes do you deliver?
↳ People want transformation, not tasks.

5. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭? 
↳ This is where most profiles fall flat.
↳ No link.
↳ No action.
↳ No direction.

Tell them exactly what to do.
→ DM me
→ Join my newsletter
→ Visit my site

Clarity wins.

Positioning beats polish.

Answer these 5 questions and your profile becomes a signal.

Not just noise.

Fix Your Profile With These 5 Key Questions

The DMs that get answered always give value first.

Not a pitch. Not a link. Actual value.

Here’s how I do it,

And why my reply rate skyrocketed.

I build a short personalized deck about them.

Made in minutes with Gamma.

→ It shows I did my research.
→ It positions me as helpful, not pushy.
→ It gives them something worth clicking.

The psychology behind it:

→ They open your message out of curiosity.
→ They click your deck because it’s about them.
→ They reply because you’ve already created value.

That’s the secret.

Stop sending walls of text.

Start sending something that makes them stop scrolling.

Every personalized Gamma deck I send gets me closer to a real conversation.

Comment "Gamma" and I’ll share the exact Gamma prompt I use.

Here's where you can get started with Gamma today:

Don’t know where to start with carousels?

You’re overcomplicating it.

Here’s how I build them in under 30 minutes
and reuse the same structure 
every time.

No fancy design background needed.

No overthinking.

Just a repeatable framework that works:

• 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 
↳ Your face. 
↳ Or a bold image that stops the scroll.

• 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 
↳ Bullet points. 
↳ Numbered lists. 
↳ Break down the value.

• 𝐀 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 
↳ Ask something simple to spark replies.

• 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐓𝐀 
↳ Follow. 
↳ Repost. 
↳ Comment. 
↳ Drive action.

That’s it.

Make the layout once.

Then just plug in content you’ve already written.

Switch the images.
Adjust the colors.
Change the hook.

But the bones stay the same.
