It's a damn shame that so many aspiring writers are getting nerfed hard by Chat GPT and other AI tools. They don't even realize it.

The most valuable part of the writing process *is* the struggle.

You learn the most when you have to think through how to form an argument. How to slot the pieces of a story together in a way that makes sense. Not to mention the discipline it takes to sit down in front of your laptop and chip away at a post, article, or book when you don't quite feel like it.

When you rely on AI to get you an OK draft that's "70% of the way there," you rob yourself of that mental training. The end product just also isn't that good.

The inefficiencies in the writing process make you a better writer.

Stop trying so hard to rid yourself of them.

Can I be real honest with you for a second?

Posting 5 times per week on LinkedIn is not hard. It’s just not. You are telling yourself it’s ‘hard’ because you are scared to put yourself out there on the internet. Which is insane because you literally started a company. You perceive pressing “post” on a piece of LinkedIn content to your 2700 followers as harder than leaving your comfortable job, managing a team of employees, raising VC money, etc etc.

Do you understand how ridiculous that sounds?

Do you??

Press publish. Who cares what your colleague from the job you quit thinks? That six-figure ACV contract you land from LinkedIn next month will wash the embarrassment away.

If this post convinces just one founder to PRESS PUBLISH, I can log off a happy man today.

Refusing to post daily on LinkedIn to maintain "quality" is such a cop out.

Posting 5 times per week is not hard. And no, you don't have to post slop to do it. Founders just get a bit too precious with their LinkedIn. They assume every post has to be a thoroughly researched, long-ass dissertation polished by some expensive PR firm. You know, you can just post your thoughts, right? And people want to hear those! Crazy. I know.

Quality is not determined by how long it took you to write a post. Some of my top-performing posts took minutes to write from idea to timeline.

Quality is not determined by the length of the post itself. Many short-form pieces do quite well.

Last thing: when you're just starting out on LinkedIn, nobody knows who you are. You get people to know who you are by showing up in their timeline often, with stuff they like. Your 1-2x per week cadence is not enough. It's just not.

So please, just publish.

AI slop has overrun the LinkedIn timeline.

This is good news, believe it or not.

Huh??

Yes. Good news. Hear me out.

When everyone and their mom is using Chat GPT, Claude, or one of the seventy-two LinkedIn content writing tools to one-shot content…it all sounds the same. There is no moat. Content is a commodity.

If you are willing to put just a liiiiittle effort into originality and prose, you will stand above the pile of dogsh*t AI-written content.

Their laziness is your opportunity.

I'd urge you to share more of your personal interests on LinkedIn going into 2026.

No...it's not "fluff." Sharing what you're into humanizes you, and is a helpful moat against soulless AI slop.

If you're a founder: you'll also be surprised by how many people in your ICP share the same interests and hobbies as you. 

I've been on several sales calls that have turned into conversations around books (deals closed, btw). I've met countless great candidates for the Compound Content Studio team who found me first through one of my posts about reading.

Plus, I find writing about this stuff a lot more fun than sharing the same "viral hook formulas" again and again and again (though those posts *do* have their place).

Try publishing a personal interest post this week.

I think you'll be surprised by the reception.

If I was a Content Writer on the job market in 2025 who wanted to land a new job, there’s ONE skill I’d put all of my focus into to attract A+ opportunities. Writing founder-led content for LinkedIn. Here’s a breakdown of why, what sub-skills you need to develop, and how I’d go about doing it:

I. Why founder-led content?

More and more B2B founders are realizing that LinkedIn is the most effective channel to get in front of their ideal buyers. Yet, they have NO time to create content on their own. I speak to 5-10 founders per week who report this. The demand is there. Yet the 'supply' of writers who are proficient in this skill is not.

At Compound, we’re always hiring Content Writers to join our team to support our demand.

II. What sub-skills do you need to develop to be a stellar writer for LinkedIn?

(1) Understand how to write compelling hooks and choose interesting topics. Packaging is the most impactful lever you can pull to improve post performance. Most writers I speak to coming from SEO background just don’t understand how to package content for social.

(2) Learn how to shape-shift your tone. Writing for founders requires the ability to ascertain their writing style. You need to be a chameleon. And you can’t let your own tone show too much in the final output.

(3) Write with clarity & logical flow. This is not specific to founder-led content, but it is worth highlighting here. Great writing is clear thinking. Can you pull nuggets from a content interview and weave them together in a cohesive narrative?

III. Practical ways to improve your writing skills

(a) Do 30 minutes of Copy Work per day. Literally take a piece of writing you admire, and hand copy it. Sounds silly, but it works. The practice helps you get a feel for ‘good writing.’

(b) Spend time each day scrolling the LinkedIn timeline. Study which posts grab your attention, and why. Reverse engineer winning content.

(c) Write 3 hook variations for every post you create. You’ll get more reps in…and you’ll find that your 2nd and 3rd tries are often the best hooks.

(d) Write. Every. Day. The most progress I’ve made as a writer & marketer came during the pandemic era when Gary Vee brainwashed me into posting 3x a day across 4+ social platforms. Insane output; but, nothing was more effective for my growth as a marketer & writer.

I’m running out of room here, but this should give you a good overview of how to start writing for LinkedIn. If you implement this blueprint, you will see your writing ability spike in the next month.

I hate the AI witch hunt posts as much as the next guy. I'm still going to use em dashes—watch me—and I'm still going to use the 'rule of three' in my writing. Sorry.

That said, we do need to have a chat, you and I. It is soooo painfully obvious when a founder hands over their content production to AI.

Anyone with more than two brain cells can tell.

You might fool a total beginner, but you are not fooling a sophisticated buyer.

And the moment your reader notices the not-so-subtle shift in writing style, you lose them.

Resist the false promises of the AI guru industrial complex.

Inefficiency and effort are a small price to pay for your reader's trust.

I’m convinced one of the best ways to stand out as a Content Writer as AI becomes more prominent in business content is to read more fiction. Read across multiple genres. Read books written in different POVs.

I see so many Content Writers confine themselves to non-fiction self help books or personal branding slop from the clone army of content gurus on LinkedIn. That’s a fine place to start. I began there!

But if you're only reading what everyone else is reading, your writing starts to sound like…everyone else. Your inputs influence your output. And you become a commodity.

In that case, you're **checks watch** 1-2 years away from your career being oneshotted by my new favorite coworker, Claude.

I’ve noticed my writing improve as I’ve read more for fun. I spend a lot of my time right now in the science fiction and fantasy genres. My prose has gotten stronger, and so has my ability to tell a compelling story. Writing is also fun again!

I’ll say it time and time again: great writing is built on a foundation of reading.

P.S. I’m currently reading Shadows Upon Time, book 7 of The Sun Eater series - phenomenal series. Coming up on the end of the series here, and looking for my next read. What would you recommend? Hit me in the comments.

"LinkedIn isn't working for me." Mhmm. Ok. Whenever I talk to a founder who's struggling to grow on LinkedIn, I can trace the problem with their posts back to 2 core elements.

(Good news: these are stupid simple to fix)

(1) Topic selection
(2) The hook

These two elements are related, but distinct.

Your topic has to be compelling to your ICP. Then, you have to use your hook to package that topic in a way that is most likely to stop the scroll.

All the hook tactics in the world won't make a bad topic work. Conversely, plenty of great topics get buried under a crap hook.

If you're struggling to see momentum on this platform, spend most of your time here. Trust me. Ok?

Side quest update: as of yesterday, I'm done with Act II of the first draft of my debut science fantasy novel. 115,336 in the Google Doc. In the home stretch now (of draft 1 💀).

Cranking away at a ~1500-word-per-day pace. Should be typing "The End" by the time the new year hits.

Then, time to write it all over again in Draft 2.

After that, I'll hire an editor for a developmental edit (if anyone has recs, let me know).

I love writing. Grateful I get to run a company that does it for founders. It's been fun honing the craft in an entirely different medium over the past year. Writing a coherent book is so, so much harder than social content. Made me better at my 'day job' in many ways, too.

Excited to share the finished book with you all around this time next year.

All of the founders who pop off on LinkedIn fast have a dirty little secret.

Relevant industry experience. See, credibility is a multiplier. The formula is simple:

Performance = Content Best Practices x Credibility

When your reader views you as a credible authority, you play the content game on easy mode. Scrollers are more likely to stop and read your content...often despite you ignoring industry best practices.

I remember earlier on in Compound's journey, we worked with a fintech client. The CEO wanted to create posts "like Jamie Dimon's." I looked at Dimon's content and found walls of text that would scare off most readers were he not the CEO of JPMorgan. His content did well despite his formatting, not because of it.

You also see greener founders do everything 'right,' yet gain zero momentum. Every post flops. "But I followed this viral hook template!" Yeah. You're also selling into GTM leadership as a 22-year-old 'cracked' founder with zero experience in sales. Why should they listen to you?

Remember, credibility is a multiplier, and anything multiplied by zero is...zero.

When you zoom in on the startup founders who have 'blown up' on LinkedIn over the past 1-2 years -- think Austin Hughes, Gal Aga, etc -- you often see an overlap between what they write about and real, lived experience. Their posts hit stronger because of believable, specific examples and unique takes formed by real-world reps.

There isn't a hack to circumvent this.

The pinnacle of the content game is packed with "ten-year overnight success" stories. So you'd better start publishing now. 

___
***Disclaimer: I'm sure there are some edge cases here, so forgive me for using the absolute to make the hook punchier ;)

Every B2B startup founder should try their hand at LinkedIn content. It’s silly not to. Here’s why, what you should post about, and how to get started (in one simple guide).

Btw - I’ve helped 75+ founders & CEOs get started with social content and I’ve used content to grow my own company to $1M+ in revenue last year (2nd year in biz).

Ok, so why bother posting?

- You’ll get more inbound leads (duh)
- You’ll have an easier time sourcing A+ to join your company
- You’ll get more inbound investors wanting to give you money
- You’ll make your other marketing channels (outbound, paid media, etc) perform better

That’s really it.

WTF do you post about?

Simple framework - find Content-Market Fit.

- What does your ICP care about?
- What’s relevant to your product?
- What do you have the credibility to write about?

Once you’ve landed on one core focus…Not 5. Not 3. 1. Then you’ll build your Content Funnel.

- TOFU: broader “founder story” and company-building content that’s optimized for reach
- MOFU: industry-specific thought leadership that positions you as a go-to resource for your ICP
- BOFU: product content - case studies, feature highlights, all the stuff that pitches your software

For example - say you're selling a SaaS in the GTM tech category selling into founders and revenue leaders. And you were a former VP of Sales at a well-known company like Gong. Easy money.

You’d want to position yourself as a go-to resource in sales & GTM. Your top of funnel content would be ‘building in public’ updates showing the momentum you have as a company. Could get vulnerable too - but to be honest, you don’t have to. Middle of funnel content would be sales advice and frameworks that your ICP would find helpful. BOFU content is your feature demos.

How often should you post?

- 5x per week. No, it’s not too much. Nobody knows who you are. Get in the timeline more.
- Here’s your content mix - 1x TOFU, 3x MOFU, 1x BOFU (good starting point)

You’ll either write your own stuff (if you're bootstrapping or haven’t raised *yet*).

Or, if you've raised your seed or Series A, you could look to bring on an agency to help you produce content (I know a guy). Hiring in-house for content early on is doable, but hard. You're not gonna know what to look for.

Anyway. Follow this guide. Use the other stuff on my profile and in my newsletter as well. You have 100% of what you need to win with content.

It will change the course of your business if you commit to it for a quarter. GLHF!

Whenever a founder’s LinkedIn post flops, I can trace it back to one cause: the hook. The good news is, hooks are a formula. Here are 6 ways to write better LinkedIn hooks (without relying on cringe templates that make you want to delete your profile to preserve your honor):

Quick credibility blurb: I’ve spent the past 7 years writing on LinkedIn, and have helped over 100 B2B founders launch their presence on the platform. Probably written or edited over 10,000 posts. Concerning! 😆

(1) Negativity bias.

Human brains are wired to focus on the negative (like it or not). You can fight against this, or you can tastefully use it to your advantage. Try framing your next post around something your customer wants to get away from. Notice how I got you with this in the post you're reading…you don’t want your next hook to flop, do you?

(2) Specific numbers.

Ideally, monetary figures. This is why sharing revenue numbers works so well, and why green-screen-talking-head short-form creators often write hooks like “[Popular Brand]’s $75M Marketing Playbook.” Don’t hate the player…just do it tastefully.

(3) Narrative.

Stop with the stale, sterile “how-to hooks.” Package the same idea as a story. Stories are the preferred way for humans to consume information. Use this in your hooks.

(4) Credibility-jacking.

Use popular names and figures in your hooks. You’re essentially “borrowing” credibility from the subject.

Funny story about this one. One time, another ghostwriting agency CEO did one of these hooks using one of OUR clients. The audacity! To his credit, it went viral.

(5) Lists.

David Ogilvy is one of the greatest advertising minds in history; he’s also a great writer. And in his work, you’ll find a ton of lists. Lists are such an easy way to package information. They also create an information gap. If I say I’m giving you 6 ways to avoid bad hooks, you need to read the rest of the post to learn all 6.

(6) Visuals.

This one’s sneaky. The hook isn’t just what appears before the “See More” line. You can also use your media as a hook. You should. Right now, I’m finding that IRL photos perform better than overly branded graphics. Don’t force media when you don’t have to (I didn’t here), but when you do, treat it like MrBeast treats his thumbnails.

Can you make me a promise?

Next time you write a post, before you press publish, run your hook through this checklist. If you don’t see at least 2-3 of the above levers in the copy…you should rework it.

Hope this helps. Save this, and follow along for more ways to improve your founder-led LinkedIn content.

pov: you become the first millionaire in your family

i never thought I'd get to write this post.

not long ago i was yet another unemployed student. 

struggled with anxiety and depression.
couldn't land an interview at "my dream" company. 

i'd given up on myself, my dreams and future. 

but my dad never did. not once. 

where i saw struggle, he saw opportunity.

see, my dad grew up poor. picking cotton from the fields in mexico. he worked day and night to get out of it. 

just to be able to give me a life worth living. 

and every day i make sure i do. 

because if i can't do it for me, i'm doing it for him. 

can't complain about my plate being full when the goal was to eat. 

grateful to everyone who's given me a platform to grow.
and proud of whoever is on the same journey.

keep going, i believe in you. 

Repost ♻️ to inspire all other entrepreneurs who are doing it for their parents ❤️

PS: Do we look similar???

I just made my most important Gen-Z hire of my career. 

Without even looking at a CV or an interview.

This hire had something special:

A track record proven by her reputation on LinkedIn. 

I hired her over 100s of other applicants.
Because her LinkedIn proved she could do the job. 

Gen-Z isn’t interested in writing the best CVs.
Gen-Z are building their personal brands instead.

And now many don't need a resume to get a job. 

In days Laiba Javed has:

1. Created systems for the entire business
2. Coordinated with every agency and client I work with.
3. Puts off every fire I start and turns it into gold.

The businesses are on track to hit my 2026 goals.

To be honest, I didn’t have to ask Laiba to prove her “experience” 

She did that a few months ago.
Noticed I needed a right hand woman.

She observed, she studied and came with action.

I hate ideas, I hate "suggestions," and she knew that.

So she let her work speak for itself.
And her reputation to close the deal. 

Anyone can learn anything; that's easy.
But having curiosity and bias for action can't be taught. 

Hiring managers...

Your best hire won't be the person with the shiniest resume.
It'll be the person who's willing to learn.

Give people a chance ❤️

PS: Laiba has been on my watch list for a looong time, so it's MY honour to have her be part of this journey.

Big confession: I'm a big fan of "small accounts".

So today, I'm celebrating my favorite LinkedIn accounts. 

Not the "biggest" ones. Not the most "viral".
But the ones who I think deserve it the most. 

Because community is the backbone of this platform. 

Connecting with people.
Commenting and networking.
Collaborating and supporting.

This is the LinkedIn that built this brand.

Took me 1000s of hours, and now I get to giveback.

So in honour of seeing those following my steps.

And spending hours doing the same....

Here are 10 entrepreneurs in my watchlist. 

Ali Amiri, MD = health advice that can change your life 
Aditi Pilania = mum and on a career growth journey
George Draco = how professionals can use AI today
Mischa Collins = fastest growing personal brand
Guy Massey = proof that any topic works, if you work!
Alan Greenin = making mortaging simple for everyone
Jess Coffman = one of the smartest marketers I've seen
Sophia Spadão = how to build an agency in your 20s
Joseph Tannous = how to get featured in PR and grow
Hayden Swerling = the best HR account right now

I need to keep doing these! So the goal is to do it more.

Look, I know LinkedIn may feel hard.
I know it seems cringe to post sometimes.

Sometimes you may feel like no one is watching.
But we are, I am. 

Keep going, your work will be noticed.

You're only one post away from changing your life.

As always my kings and queens. I'm rooting for you. 

P.S. Who are the creators that deserve more recognition? I'll be following ALL of them. 

Happy Sunday!

My 4-step writing framework is unbeatable.

(If you're stuck at low likes and impressions, read this)

Everyone is talking about the algorithm changing.
But small creators are going viral using this hack.

I called it the SLAY Framework:

1. The first 3 lines of your post should be a story.
2. Then on line 4 lead with a lesson for your audience.
3. Add to the post using actionable advice (listicles).
4. Finish with a question that puts the ball in their court.

Storytelling is the ultimate weapon for LinkedIn growth.

Because in a platform oversaturated with information...
Don't focus on facts, focus on emotions.

They'll remember you forever. 
.
Bonus: Think about the lesson 1st, and the story 2nd.

Your main goal is to educate using stories as the vehicle.

♻️ Repost this to make storytelling easy for everyone.

PS: I've seen the SLAY framework used 2x today on viral posts with 1k+ likes! My job here is done 🤝

You don't need algorithm hacks to grow on LinkedIn.

I spent the last 90 days testing every growth hack I could find. Here's what actually works:

(Based on analyzing content in different niches)

1. Hyper-specific content (3x a week)

• Solve one exact problem per post
• Use industry language your clients use
• Speak directly to one person

Adam Robinson has mastered this for B2B. 
Nausheen I. Chen is killing it for B2C. 

Address their problems directly. 

i.e "Stop losing credibility with your body language."

2. Proof-First Content

80% tactical step-by-step frameworks and screenshots.
20% stories on how you're doing it (use stories)

The 80% builds trust, the 20% engages them more. 

Educate and storytell. Always both. 

3. LinkedIn Video (let me explain...)

Video reach might be down right now.
But it's the fastest way to prove authority. 

LinkedIn video is ok.
Linkedin Lives? They're a goldmine.

We had a LinkedIn live with 200 people.
Made $10,000 from it. 

People buy from people they trust. Video accelerates this! 

I'd limit these to 2 a month, though, no pressure. 

I left a checklist for you in the image below for you to script your first Linkedin video too btw.

This is the no-bs blueprint for entrepreneurs. 

It's not about more volume, it's about more insights.

Dominating LinkedIn isn't just about virality right now.
It's about building a brand that earns trust.

Keep your focus on your 1 thing. 

The rest will follow.

I've just recorded a private video on how to dominate "storytelling" on LinkedIn like an expert. 

If you want it ♻️ repost this post and I'll send it to you (20 people max).

PS: Got a surprise for you today, get 50% off my programmes until the end of November here: https://lnkd.in/e4RKsGx9

I got rejected from (nearly) every single job I applied to.

5yrs of Industry experience. 2 degrees. But 0 offers.

The consistent rejections made me feel unemployable.

So, I started writing on LinkedIn daily.

If you're not seeing any luck either:

Swap writing Resumes for writing posts on Linkedin
Quit waiting for opportunities and build your own.
Build an undeniable network that lifts you up.

1 month of writing on Linkedin → 10x more visibility.

Lesson? Become unemployable to others.

Build your own job instead. 

PS: I'm running a GIVEAWAY to celebrate nearly hitting 50k on YouTube! I'm giving away over $1,000 worth in prizes to the next 100 people who subscribe https://lnkd.in/eyMb42iX

To enter:

1. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel
2. Screenshot that you have and comment the photo

Winners will be announced on the 17th of November!

I built my first business to 6-figures after class. 

The reason? I didn't wait until "I felt ready" and you shouldn't either, because you already are. 

You don't need a logo, your first customers won't care.
You don't need a website, your ideal client wants proof.

You don't even need a shiny degree, you just need skill.

We're taught to wait until everything is perfect.
But perfect never comes, procrastination does, though. 

If you want to launch your new business.
Or promote a new offer you've been perfecting. 

Do this instead: 

1. List the 5 key problems you are solving for someone. 
2. Ask ChatGPT to expand on why this needs solving.
3. Create content on LinkedIn using the pain + solution
4. Use social proof wherever you can (can borrow it too)
5. Post case studies of people who you've helped
6. If you haven't yet, write about how this helped you
7. Take 10 people on this offer for free to get real results
8. Create content around these repeating steps 1-5

One fool-proof way to get clients (free or paid):

1. Search for people who look like you can help on Linky.
2. Send them a loom or gamma doc with your system
3. Tell them step-by-step how you can help immediatley 

Do this 20x a week, I guarantee you'll land a client.

Bonus tip: Implement your offer for them for free, so they can see the value of your work instantly. 

Trust me, after 4 weeks coaching next to 8-figure agency owners, this STILL works. 

This is what I did too, and would do again. 

No website, no crazy credentials, not even a logo.

Literally just a calendly link, a canva pitch and content that made people reach out.

Closed clients with the loom approach.

This isn't about virality, it's about making money. 
Your ideal client might not like the post and make it viral.

But they'll 100% reach out if you follow this strategy. 

I'll be expanding on some of the points in the comments.

(Please repost this for your network ♻️ Thank you)

I've coached over 3,000+ entrepreneurs and creators.

Today, I want to review your posts for free.

But there are thousands of you here ( and only 1 me) 

So - I’ve got a special gift for you today: 

I built a GPT that behaves like me. 

It grades your posts on 3 specific checkpoints.

1. Clarity
2. Proof
3. Capture

And tells you what to fix in 60 seconds.

If you're ready to get brutally roasted.
And get the feedback on your hooks and content...

I built an FREE AI tool that does this for you. 
I call it the AI Post Analyzer.

(Deleting in 42hrs)

PS: The algorithm rewards what readers finish.

Write for readers first. Optimize for views after.

Profile optimization is overrated. Honestly. 

Focus on your content first. Comment 50x a day instead..

This is something you'll hear me say a lot. 

Because most people waste endless hours here.
Optimizing everything but have no traffic.

But....

If your content is getting traction.
You're commenting and networking daily.

But you're not seeing an increase in conversions.

Then your profile might be the problem. 

Most people will see your post.
They'll go to your profile looking for proof.
And if they're convinced, they'll book a call with you. 

So your next task after nailing content?

Optimizing your profile.

1. Your profile photo = shows warmth 
2. Your banner = shows instant proof 
3. Your featured section = tells them where to go

I made you a guide so you can implement it today.

Follow it step by step and position yourself as an expert.
