Getting you inbound leads through Content Design

I ran an agency for 6 years and invisibility nearly killed it (twice).  

We 100% relied on word-of-mouth marketing:

- Leads from friends and family (not even kidding)
- Leads from former and current clients
- Leads through competitors

We took on what we could get.

Sometimes we skyrocketed. Often we struggled.

The feast and famine cycle was real.

And it was painfully frustrating.

As a business owner, I didn't have:

- Time and focus on growth
- Time to take care of my team
- Time to generate leads myself

I was consistently hustling and putting out fires.

When I pivoted in 2022, I chose a different strategy:

→ Creating content to build a reputation and presence
→ Creating content to show the world my offering
→ Creating content to generate leads every week

At least, that was the plan.

It took me months to do it:

I started with text posts. Then I added visuals. Then I added carousels. Then I 'designed' my content. Every upgrade increased my growth and revenue.

This led me to craft a new solution:

Content Design for LinkedIn. 

Since then, I've helped clients build recognizable brands that attract and sell: 

- Matt Barker 2X’d his post views, attracted higher paying clients, and 2X’d product sales within 2 months of working together.

- Mollie Cox made $16k (next to her full-time job) within 2 months of working together.

- Pascalle Bergman's revenue went up by 73% after working together.

If that sounds good, there 3 ways I help founders, CEOs, and creators attract leads on LinkedIn: 

1. Content Design done-for-you (ghostwriting + content designs)

2. 1:1 Content Design coaching to attract your ideal audience

3. My first-ever Content Design cohort in September

My posts started going viral when I added this: 

Infographics. 

But people avoid them because (they think) it’s hard.
 
Here’s a dead simple structure I use: 

1. Start with the hook 
– "How to" or "How I" works well 
– Or call out your ICP with a quote
 
2. Pick one clear topic 
– One problem, one angle, one outcome
 
3. Break the idea into steps 
– 3-10 actions that solve the problem 
– Steps should feel like a natural sequence
 
4. Add structure 
– Give each step its own section 
– Create hierarchy so the reader knows where to look
 
5. Add navigation 
– Use numbers or arrows 
– Guide the reader through the flow
 
6. Add context 
– 1–3 short lines that explain each step 
– Use the language your ideal audience uses
 
7. Improve readability 
– Simple words, short sentences 
– Contrast and spacing
 
8. Fill the remaining space with value 
– Add small tips, examples, or clarifications 
– Be creative: there’s no such thing as perfect

Content Design that attracts your ideal audience

How I create viral infographics

If you want to grow like crazy on LinkedIn: 

- Stay useful
- Monetize fast
- Post every day
- Stay in your lane
- Avoid anything personal
- Expand to every new platform
- Comment 100s of times per day
- Buy your way into new audiences

That’s the 0.001% path.

But most people don't want to be influencers.

They're trying to build a business.

And their clients want to work with REAL people:

Share what you love building (even if it’s small).
Share what you stand for (even if it’s unpopular).
Share the project that bombed (the one you hid).
Share what you refuse to tolerate (even when scary).
Share stuff that feels too Facebook (because it’s real).
Share how you screwed up big time (and had to own it).
Share the mistake you still think about (and learned from).

And publish more messy copy (unlike I've done here). 

Share you. 

Your feed is waiting for it.

Money shapes many of our decisions. 

The good news? 6 out of 10 people are optimistic about their financial situation in 2026. This optimism shows that despite uncertainty, many still believe they can build, create, and grow.

For us at STOICA.CO, financial clarity is not just about numbers in a spreadsheet. It is about having the freedom to make better decisions for our team, our clients, and the communities we serve.

Great insights from last week during RevReview by Revolut Business.

Companies that choose to be great instead of big. 

I joined Small Giants Community for a Summit 3 years ago, and the whole thing felt so right. People were all great human beings building healthy companies for themselves, their colleagues, and their clients. 

Join a community. Find your tribe!

CEO Small Giants Community | Host Growing with Purpose Podcast | Speaker | Author Finding Freedom (due April 2026) | Connecting and Developing Purpose-Driven Business Leaders

Since stepping into my current position at the Small Giants Community, one of my goals has been to expand the reach of this organization that has done so much for me. 

I know there are more Small Giants leaders and companies out there. 
They just might not know about us yet, or have the vocabulary to define what makes them great.

Sometimes, the best way to reach people is getting back to basics. 

And within the Small Giants Community, the best way to do that is turning to the book that started it all: 
"Small Giants: Companies That Choose to be Great Instead of Big" by Bo Burlingham.

🐟 If these principles resonate with you, or you know of others who may identify with this list, please share this post. Let's inspire more businesses to continue to be great, no matter their size.

Airlines started using algorithms for dynamic pricing in the 1980s.

Travel booking platforms and other players in the travel industry followed. 
Now dynamic pricing is standard practice for hotel reservations, train and bus tickets, car rentals and most services in the travel industry.

Amazon is known to have been using dynamic pricing since at least the year 2000, when it applied algorithms to set the prices of DVDs.
Many e-commerce websites currently use one form or another of dynamic pricing.

Retail companies are using dynamic pricing - whenever you see electronic price tags in a shop or a supermarket, there is a very high chance that prices change pretty often.

Google Ads rates are set using dynamic pricing algorithms.

Uber introduced surge pricing in 2014 and most ride sharing platforms use variations of this.

Tickets for sporting events and concerts are priced using dynamic pricing.

Disneyland introduced dynamic pricing in 2016.

B2B software companies are tragically lagging behind.

If you don’t know why you need to implement dynamic pricing
