Scale Smarter with AI-Supercharged Copy | 💛 Copywriting + AI + Personal Branding

You don’t need a massive agency
to gain massive leverage.

Most founders I work with hit the same wall.

After a few years in business, growth slows, 
referrals become unpredictable and competitors start showing up. 

They realise that they have a business but they don’t have a brand.
That’s where I come in. 

As your Fractional Content Strategist, I embed directly into your business 
to own the work that matters most— your positioning, strategy, and how it all converts.

No junior handoffs.No rotating agency teams.No fragmented direction.
Just one partner who drives growth. 

Together, we build a brand that doesn’t just look good, 
but works hard for your business—with clear positioning, 
sharp narratives, and human X AI systems designed to compound over time.

In an AI-saturated world, the brands that win aren’t the loudest.

They’re the ones with focus, consistency, and a strategy that holds.

If that’s what you’re building,I’d love to see what we can do together.

11 ChatGPT Prompts for LinkedIn Copy 😇 
(Save this cheat sheet for later.)

A lot of people are using ChatGPT.
Very few are using it well.

Especially for LinkedIn.

If your AI polished copy still feels generic:
👉 You’re not anchoring the copy to your tone of voice 
👉You’re asking for “rewrites” instead of giving it direction 
👉 You’re letting the model make decisions for your content 

That's why it's not working well.
LinkedIn's latest update this is clamping down hard on AI copy. 

That doesn't mean you shouldn't use AI. 
It means that you need to leverage AI with the human touch. 

This list isn’t a magic fix.
And it’s definitely not exhaustive.
But it will improve your first drafts immediately.

Use ChatGPT for the heavy lifting.
Then add your judgment. Your taste. Your voice.
That’s where the real edge is.

Tell me, what do you think?

P.S. FINAL CALL. We're just 2 days away from the LinkedIn LIVE masterclass on How to build Authority in an AI-first world. 

🇸🇬  If you're in Singapore, RSVP & I'll see you soon: https://lnkd.in/gAukbiva

3 years ago, I made the biggest bet ever. 
I bet on myself. 

When I first left my job, I was so stressed and anxious. 

What was I going to do next?

I didn’t have everything figured out.
I didn’t have a clear plan.
I didn’t even know if this would work.

At that time, building a personal brand felt uncomfortable. Exposing. Vulnerable.

I was afraid my bosses and friends would see my posts.
Afraid people would think I was trying to be an “influencer.”
Afraid I wasn’t good enough to talk about copy. 

And until one day, I decided I couldn’t just wait for something to happen. Nothing was going to change unless I took action.

So I posted my first post on LinkedIn. 

Because of that one decision, I’ve had the privilege to:

💚  Speak at global conferences and industry events
💛  Work with founders and leaders I deeply respect
💜  Build a business aligned with my values
🧡  Help my own clients leave their day jobs and grow their own businesses

What an honour.

All of this was only possible because I took a bet on myself and said I’m afraid but I’m gonna do it anyway. 

In 2026, this is the biggest bet you can make.

If this resonates, I’m hosting a small, private session tomorrow at Arcc Spaces on Being Human: Building Authority on LinkedIn in an AI-First World.

We’ve opened a few final seats.
If you’d like to join us, RSVP here → https://lnkd.in/gAukbiva

I'll see you tomorrow. 

Let’s find the courage to build, to grow and to win - together.

From 0-70k Followers: What LinkedIn Made Possible

Everyone is using ChatGPT for copy.
But not everyone knows how to do it well.

If you've heard of the term 
vibe copywriting

it's just a fancy way of saying using AI to write copy.

Most people are vibing.
Very few are converting.

Because they’re doing this:
“Write me a viral LinkedIn post.”
That’s delegation without direction.

If you want AI to actually work for you, remember this:

👉 Input = Output
Your prompt needs:
 → Context
 → Voice references
 → Clear objective
 → Target audience
 → Format
Specificity = power.

👉Know What Good Looks Like
If you can’t tell good copy from bad copy,
AI cannot help you.
Ask it:
 → “Show me 5 weak hooks.”
 → “Now show me 5 strong hooks.”
 → “Explain why the strong ones convert.”
Train your taste.

👉Challenge the Output
Don’t accept Draft 1.
Say:
 → “Make this sharper.”
 → “Reduce fluff by 30%.”
 → “Rewrite this for a skeptical CEO.”
 → “Where will this lose attention?”

The founders who win in this AI era won’t be the ones who use ChatGPT.

It’ll be the ones who combine:
 Strategy + Positioning + Psychology + AI

That’s the hybrid advantage.
If you’re going to vibe…
At least vibe with intention.

3 Tips To Master "Vibe" Copywriting

You’re posting on LinkedIn.
But you’re still not getting clients.

So you start wondering “Does LinkedIn actually work?”

You see other founders posting.
Talking about inbound leads. 
Deals closing in the DMs.
Content bringing opportunities.

Meanwhile your posts get a few likes...
maybe one from your best bestie at work. 

Most founders treat LinkedIn like a diary
when it should be seen as a marketing platform. 

It needs both strategy & structure. 

Here's a simple funnel most founders miss:
🪄 Awareness
 → Educational or viral posts.
🪄Authority
 → Thought leadership and insights.
🪄Conversion
 → Case studies, testimonials, offers.

Without this flow, content becomes visibility.
And visibility alone doesn’t generate clients.

In this carousel, I cover 6 mistakes people make 
and how to avoid them. 

So that you can post content with strategy 
and turn LinkedIn Into a 24/7 salesperson

6 mistakes that are costing you leads 

Posting on LinkedIn used to feel hard.
Now the hard part isn’t writing…

It’s sounding like a real human in a feed full of AI content.

In the latest episode of The AI Marketer's Playbook, I sat down with MJ Jaindl (GM at Stanley + LinkedIn creator with 61K+ followers) to break down how he uses AI to draft nearly 70% of his LinkedIn content ... without losing his voice.

We cover:
 - Why “generic tips” posts are dying (and what replaces them)
 - The content formats MJ sees working right now (and what’s falling off)
 - How to keep authenticity: proof of work + emotion + POV
 - A simple way to start posting when you’re scared of judgment
 - Why employee-generated content is becoming a growth lever for teams

If you’ve been stuck in “I don’t know what to post” mode… this one’s for you.

What’s your biggest challenge with AI-written content - voice or ideas?

Marketing is just like baking. 🧑‍🍳 

Instead of a fancy croquembouche,
you need to perfect your toast.

Most brands skip the basics.
They want scale.
They want virality.
They want conversions.

But they’re making these 5 mistakes:

🍞 Rewriting everything
You spend hours perfecting one post.
And forget the real goal.
Instead:
 → Set ONE clear goal
 → Decide: leads, followers, or conversations
 → Let that guide every post

🥖 Posting without a plan
People see you but don’t know what you stand for.
Instead:
 → Pick 2–3 content pillars
 → Make sure they ladder up to your value proposition
 → Plan 2 weeks in advance

🥐 Tracking vanity metrics
You keep refreshing for likes.
But impressions don’t pay the bills.
Instead:
 → Track conversations started
 → Track inbound leads
 → Track who is actually watching

🥪 Running only ad campaigns
You try to scale like big brands.
 It gets expensive. Fast.
Instead:
 → Build organic authority
 → Leverage your personal brand
 → Deliver value before pitching

🥯 Obsessing over design
You tweak fonts. Change colours.
And your message gets lost.
Instead:
 → Build one brand template
 → Keep visuals consistent
 → Focus on clarity of message

Toast first.
Then the croquembouche.

Why Your Brand Isn’t Growing

A lot of women I speak with look successful on the outside but don’t feel that way on the inside.

They’ve built impressive careers.
They lead teams, grow businesses, and show up every day.

But behind the scenes, many are quietly asking the same question:
How do I keep going without losing myself in the process?

This is why I’m honoured to be moderating a fireside chat at the launch of the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises (ASME) Women’s Initiative this International Women’s Day.

Exploring a topic that often gets overlooked: how women can build sustainable careers and businesses without burning out.

On 28 March, ASME will officially launch its dedicated Women’s Initiative, bringing together entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and ecosystem builders to support the next wave of female-led innovation. 

We’ll also be welcoming our Guest of Honour, Siow Huang Gan, Minister of State for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Trade and Industry, and celebrating a new partnership with WEConnect International, a global organisation that connects women-owned businesses to multinational corporate buyers.

If you’re a female founder, senior leader, or part of the business community in Singapore, I’d love to see you there.

How To USE Claude For Marketing & Content
(I'm saying goodbye to ChatGPT 🥹 )

So I have a confession....
I have been using ChatGPT for a long while now.

But I thought it's time to explore a new relationship
and see if the grass is really greener on the other side.

On Claude's side. 

And well, I have been very impressed by Claude. 
Instead of one-off prompts, you can structure AI to support larger functions.

For example:
🧡Projects
Save context about your brand, positioning, and goals so you don’t need to repeat them every time.

💙Artifacts
Generate files you can actually use.
Landing pages, email sequences, content calendars.

💜MCP Integrations
Pull real documents from tools like Drive, Notion, or Slack directly into your prompts.

💛Custom Instructions
Set how Claude should write. Your tone, style, and preferences.

💖Skills - MY NEW BAE
Upload frameworks, templates, and processes so Claude follows your methodology.

So ChatGPT, it has been great fun.
But I think it's time for us to part ways for a bit...
and maybe one day you might Woo me back 🤣

Tell me, are you team ChatGPT or team Claude?

Many women look successful on the outside.
But privately, they’re carrying far more than most people realise.

Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with three incredible women leaders to talk about the realities behind building a career, running a business, and navigating life at the same time.

I asked them this question:
"If a young woman feels overwhelmed about her future,
what advice would you give her?"

One answer by Mrinalini (Minnie) Venkatachalam stayed with me.

“Step back and ask yourself what advice you would give a friend in the same situation. Then go do exactly that.”

Because most of us are very good at supporting others.
But much harder on ourselves.

Another perspective I loved was this reminder by add Dr. Angela Tan 
“All balls will drop. But most of them bounce back.”

We often feel pressure to juggle everything perfectly
- work, family, expectations, identity.

But maybe the real skill isn’t holding everything at once.
It’s learning how to keep going by Hamidah Aidillah Mustafa (PBM).

Which is why I’m excited that we’ll be continuing this discussion live at the ASME Women’s Initiative Launch on 28 March, where we’ll dive deeper into women’s leadership, wellbeing, and entrepreneurship.

The response has been amazing so far.

We’re almost fully filled.

Most people find copywriting really hard.
You stare at a blank page.

You try a few sentences.
Nothing sounds right.

Most of the time, it’s not because you’re bad at writing.
It’s because you’re missing structure.

Here’s a simple cheat sheet you can use whenever you write a post, landing page, or website copy:

✨ Start with something that sparks curiosity
✨ Make the benefit clear
✨ Use numbers to organise your ideas
✨ Ask a question that pulls readers in
✨ Share a short story
✨ Use strong, direct language
✨ Lead with a bold opening
✨ Address a real problem
✨ Keep sentences short
✨ Tell readers exactly what to do next
✨ Give a reason to act now
✨ Show proof it works

Good copywriting is simple, when you know the magic behind the words.

"Most people use AI to generate. I use it to extract information for myself.”

In this episode of The AI Marketer's Playbook, Mahdi Shariff (雷锋) Shariff (Co-Founder of Humble AI, Forbes Asia 30 Under 30) shares a powerful perspective.

Instead of asking AI to write for you,
use it to ask you better questions.

He explains how he uses AI as a thinking partner to clarify ideas, surface blind spots, and tighten communication before sharing with his team.

Especially for leaders (and those who think differently), this instant feedback loop can be transformational.

In this episode, we talked about how to:
➡️ build human AI workflows,
➡️ leverage a smarter platform to communicate with teams
➡️ underrated AI use cases that you should be thinking about right now

“You can’t read the label from inside the jar.”
A client said this to me while we were reworking his positioning.

And it's so true. 
Because when you’re inside the business,
you don't see what makes it shine.

So you label your jar the same way everyone else does.
“Law firm.” “Training consultant.” “AI solutions.”

But if your jam has three unique ingredients like 
strawberry 🍓 , basil 🌿 , and lemon 🍋  
would you just label it as a "jam”? You wouldn’t. 

Yet, that’s exactly what most founders do with their positioning.

Positioning is hard to see from the inside.
That’s why when I work on positioning, I look at it through three lenses:

👉 The Company Lens
 What do you want to be known for?
 What are you actually exceptional at?

👉The Client Lens
 What do clients consistently praise?
 What makes them stay, refer, and come back?

👉The Competitor Lens
 Where do you operate differently from everyone else?
 What do you do that others don’t?

Where these three overlap, we find the sweet spot. 

It becomes so much easier to show your value,
pitch with confidence and justify premium pricing.

Sometimes founders say to me:
“Wow… that feels so obvious. 
Why didn’t I see it before?”

That’s the point.
A good strategist helps you see the value that was already there.

If you’re struggling to figure out what the label on your jar should be, let’s fix that. Comment or DM "Positioning". 

You might be closer to the answer than you think. 😉

You're posting on LinkedIn consistently. 

But the DMs aren't coming in. 
The leads aren't converting. 
The pipeline feels unpredictable. 

And somewhere along the way, 
you started wondering if LinkedIn even works for your business. 

It does. 
But only when your presence is built for buyers, not just engagement. 

Most LinkedIn profiles signal "content creator." 
Not "the person I need to hire." 

Over the past 3+ years, I have built my profile from 0 - 70K followers.
Last year, I got 3M+ organic impressions with $0 in ad spend.

And more importantly...
I’ve worked with founders and business owners who’ve built entire inbound pipelines on this platform.

This Thursday, I'm joining Leadspicker for a free webinar on exactly this. 

How to Build a LinkedIn Presence That Attracts High-Intent Customers 

We'll cover: 
→ Why your profile is losing buyers before they read a single post 
→ How to position your content so the right people recognise you immediately → The system that moves people from follower to warm lead 

If you've been showing up on LinkedIn but not seeing the pipeline results, this is for you. 

🗓 See you this Thursday - Don't forget to RSVP 😉

What do people see when they click on your LinkedIn profile - a resume or a reason to work with you?

Join our next webinar when will be joined by Audrey Chia, an entrepreneur and LinkedIn creator who has built a powerful LinkedIn presence and turned it into a thriving business.

We'll be talking about: 
• How to position yourself to attract the right audience
 • How to turn your LinkedIn profile into a high-converting landing page
 • Which content formats generate inbound opportunities

Join us live and learn how to build a LinkedIn presence that brings the right people to you. 🚀
