Demand Hive

We help expertise-based businesses get their next 10+ clients with a strategy that focuses on the 2 most critical yet ignored elements of success:

What people buy and how they do it.

What people buy is nothing more than the offer you sell.

How they do it is nothing more than your funnel.

And that’s what we do.

We create a strategy about the What and the How:

1 High-Demand Offer™ that clients feels stupid saying “No” to

1 Client Pathway Funnel™ that guides them from “Hmm” to “Yes”

These 2 combined are your simple strategy for getting your next 10+ clients as a business that sells expertise – whether it’s design, development, consultancy, or anything in between.

ClickDecor

From August 2015 I was co-founder and CEO of the architecture & interior design magazine ClickDecor. I was focused especially on marketing and SEO strategy. The website gained traffic day by day and became profitable in a short time. After almost 2 years in charge of ClickDecor I've decided to sold it.

Co-Founder & CEO

After bringing in over $730K in revenue for clients…

I’m inviting 4 more people to work 1:1 with me and use the same approach in their business so they can:

1) Start getting consistent leads every week.
2) Turn those leads into 4-5 figure clients.

Here's exactly how we'll be doing this:

📌 Step 1: Bring in the right people

We start by fixing your content and messaging so the right people actually pay attention. No more “how-to” tips that attract freebie seekers.

Instead, we shift to what and why content and messages, the kind that makes people think, “This is what I’ve been missing.”

I’ll help you nail it, then coach you on how to keep showing up in a way that brings in qualified leads every week.

📌 Step 2: Guide them to the next step

Now that the right people are paying attention, we give them a clear next step. Could be a resource, a video, a workshop, a quick conversation — something simple.

We tie it to your offer so it naturally moves them closer to working with you.

Not a generic lead magnet or random freebie. Just something that makes them think, “I want more of this.”

📌 Step 3: Make it easy to say “YES”

Once they get closer to working with you (on purpose), we help them take the final step.

Whether you already have an offer or not, we’ll make sure it’s clear, simple, and easy to buy (and maybe even tie a micro offer to it too).

Then we put it in front of the right people. They've already raised their hand, so saying “YES” feels like the obvious next move.

That’s how you turn them into 4–5 figure clients.

💭 Want proof this approach works?

☑ This approach got my clients $730K+ in revenue.
☑ M.N. made nearly $60K in 3 months.
☑ D.A. added 50+ qualified leads and signed a $12K client in 2 weeks, after 1 workshop.
☑ A.N. got 200+ people on a waitlist for a new offer.
☑ A.H. signed their biggest recurring client after improving their offer.
☑ & more.

(drop me a DM with "proof" and I'll share with you more of this)

So... how does it sound?

If good, then DM me “clients” and I’ll send the full breakdown so you can see if this is the right fit for you.

Or simply scroll a bit and click the "Work with me →" link below.

P.S.:

I’m taking 4 people through this. Once the spots are gone, it’s off the table for a while.

So if you want this... let's talk today.

80% of LinkedIn profiles don't convert potential clients—don't let yours be one of them!

Your LinkedIn profile isn’t just a digital business card. It’s a 24/7 salesperson. If it’s not converting, it’s time for a fix!

Here’s where most profiles go wrong 
(and how to fix them):

✔ Your banner
↳ 58% of people notice visuals first. 

↳ Use it to highlight your mission with a clear message or a strong call-to-action.

 ✔ Your headline
↳ Add value. 

↳ Instead of just your title, include how you help others or your niche expertise.

 ✔ Your featured section 
↳ Use this to showcase results—client success stories, impactful projects, or standout posts.

↳ Use this to also add your Call to Action (CTA) i.e. guiding viewers on what to do next (connect, DM, or visit your website)?

 ✔ Your About Section 
↳ Stats show 40% of LinkedIn users read about section.

↳ Think storytelling! Share your journey and let people see the real you. Make it personal and engaging.

 ✔ Your activity
↳ Active profiles get 5x more connection requests. 

↳ Post content 3-5x in a week, and
↳ Engage authentically and consistently.

✅ Remember, 

𝘈 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘦 = 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴.

CEOs, Founders or Solopreneurs — ready to quit LinkedIn because “nothing is working”? Stop. Read this before you disappear. 👇

Have you ever heard of the 'Bamboo Mentality'? 

For the first 5 years, bamboo shows no visible growth.
Nothing.
Just silent progress happening underground.

But once it’s ready…
It shoots up 90 feet in 6 weeks.
That’s the power of compound growth.

Most founders quit LinkedIn long before their “bamboo moment.”
They expect results in 30 days…
When real impact needs persistence, consistency, and patience.

As a brand strategist, I see this all the time.
Founders create content for a month → barely any engagement → they stop.

But the truth?

You don’t grow because of one viral post.
You grow because you show up when no one claps.

Adopt the bamboo mentality on LinkedIn:

 🌱 Keep posting even when the likes are low.
 🌱 Build relationships before expecting leads.
 🌱 Share your expertise even when it feels unnoticed.
 🌱 Stay consistent long enough for the algorithm to trust you.

Because the compound effect kicks in only for those who stay.
Your bamboo moment is coming — don’t quit before it shoots. 💛

PS — How long have you been consistent on LinkedIn?

Shoutout to Chris Donnelly for explaining this so simply — just the push founders need to keep showing up on LinkedIn!

Ready to Quit LinkedIn? Read This Before You dDsappear...

"Scheduling posts kills your reach."

You’ve heard this… but let me tell you a truth nobody talks about.

I get this question ALL the time — in comments, in DMs, everywhere:
“Asma… does scheduling content even work?”

Short answer?
YES. It does. 100%.
 
Long answer?

Your impressions didn’t drop because you scheduled… they dropped because you disappeared. (Read that again )

Most people schedule → post goes live → they do ZERO engagement.
 
No warm-up comments
No feed activity
No networking

…and then they blame the poor scheduling button. 😂

Think about it; if scheduling was “bad,” why would LinkedIn even build that feature?

They literally launched it because busy CEOs, founders, soloprenuers and creators needed it.

I schedule my content AND all my clients’ content in advance — and guess what?

It helps me:

 ✔ Focus more on engagement
 ✔ Be present for networking
 ✔ Avoid last-minute panic posting
 ✔ Show up consistently (even on low-energy days)

So the problem isn’t scheduling.
The problem is posting and vanishing.

Use the feature wisely, it’s a blessing in disguise for all of us juggling a hundred things at once.

PS- What's your opinion regarding this? Would love to hear it..
