Looking to attract warm leads on LinkedIn?

You've probably heard the typical advice:

→ Send countless AI cold messages
→ Post daily for months
→ Spend hours engaging in comments

Here's the truth: 

Without the right strategy, you might end up with nothing after 12 months. 

But don't worry, you're not alone if that's been your experience.

However, using LinkedIn effectively can consistently generate warm leads.

If you're willing to put in the necessary effort and apply a proven system (like mine).

Wondering what to do next? 

Just shoot me a message with "Leads" and let's discuss whether my approach might be the right fit for you.

How one SaaS founder generated 1,500 LinkedIn leads in 30 days (without writing a single post)

I recently analyzed the results from one of our PostHero users, and the numbers stopped me in my tracks.

In just 30 days, this founder:

• Generated 1,500+ leads
• Hit 300k+ content views
• Booked 30 meetings
• Closed $20k in revenue

All from LinkedIn content he never wrote himself.

While you're wasting hours on one post, your competitors are using AI to dominate your feed.

Ghostwriters?

They charge $3k/month and still take weekends off.

PostHero never sleeps.
Never takes breaks.
And it's trained on the exact frameworks that convert SaaS buyers.

Want the same results?

I'll send you a full breakdown with plug & play templates.

Agencies & B2B SaaS: Get 10-30 qualified leads within 90 days with a LinkedIn Inbound Funnel

You don't need a team of 50 to build a unicorn in 2025.

This $200 stack will let you build ANY startup with AI agents:

- Lovable / Mocha for beautiful frontend
- Cursor for logic
- OpenAI / Anthropic for LLM
- Supabase for database
- Cloudflare for security
- Vercel for hosting
- n8n for automation
- Stripe for payments

Bonus: PostHero - AI ghostwriter to nail your LinkedIn content

❌ The old playbook:
- Build large founding team
- Hire expensive specialists
- Manage complex org structure
- Hope productivity stays high

✅ The new playbook:
- Solo founder + AI agents
- Build fast, fail fast
- Automate everything
- Scale with technology

Sam Altman predicts: The next wave of unicorns will be built by solo founders with an army of AI agents.

I've seen too many startups collapse under their own organizational weight.

Meanwhile, the smartest founders I know are leveraging AI to do the work of entire teams—and moving 10x faster.

The real competitive advantage isn't headcount. 
It's how well you leverage AI.

A viral LinkedIn post went wrong - my client's account got banned last week.

Here's what happened:

We created a lead magnet post that exploded.
300+ comments in total.

Then came the critical mistake.

My client hired a VA to handle comment replies and send the lead magnet to people who requested it.

The problem?

LinkedIn detected logins from different countries on the same account.

This triggered their security system - they don't allow account sharing.

Day 2: Complete shadow ban.

While my client could still log in, nobody could see her:
- Posts
- Content
- Messages
- Profile activity

It took significant time to restore the account.

Key lesson for content founders:

If you're thinking about hiring VAs, be extremely careful with account access. LinkedIn's algorithm is unforgiving when it detects suspicious login patterns.

The right way to handle high engagement:
1. Manage responses personally
2. If needed, use VA for content preparation only
3. Never share login credentials

Have you ever experienced unexpected consequences from viral content?

Just listened to Jacob Klug's interview about Creme Digital.

(his AI product studio is doing $250k/month)

Here's the biggest insight for me:

Personal brands will be the unfair advantage in an AI-driven world.

Why?

Because when everyone can build products easily:
• Your story becomes the differentiator
• Your audience becomes the moat
• Your brand becomes the advantage

Jacob's playbook right now:

1. Leverage current trends
↳ Using no-code tools (Lovable)
↳ Building AI products
↳ Creating epic user experiences

2. Build audience deliberately
↳ Share insights consistently
↳ Document the journey
↳ Help others succeed

3. Invest in personal brand
↳ It compounds over time
↳ Can't be replicated by AI
↳ Opens doors automatically

The truth?

Product creation will become easier.
Competition will become fiercer.
But your personal brand?

That's the one thing AI can't replicate.

Start building yours today.

Just had a reality check about LinkedIn results.

(and why "going viral" isn't everything)

Last week I created a post for my client.
The results weren't what we expected:
• Only ~1k views
• Just a few leads
• No viral moment

But today she told me excited...

That "unsuccessful" post landed her a meeting with a solid company.
They're discussing a high-ticket offer.
And they're scheduling a second meeting this week.

Let that sink in:
1 "average" post → 1 perfect-fit lead → potential high-ticket deal

The truth about LinkedIn nobody tells you:

You don't need:
• 100k followers
• Viral posts
• Fancy strategies

You just need the right person to see your message.

Sometimes the posts that don't "perform well" perform exactly as they should.

Quality > Quantity

Have you ever had a "low-performing" post bring you an amazing opportunity?

This AI completely replaced the $2,000/month ghostwriting agency.

We trained it on 8,957 viral LinkedIn posts...

Most people waste hours trying to write content that converts.

Or burn thousands on agencies that don't understand their voice.

I decided to solve this problem once and for all.

The results?

→ Generated 1,500+ qualified leads in May
→ Saved 10+ hours per week on content
→ 97% of readers couldn't tell it was AI
→ Completely eliminated agency costs

The best part?

It maintains your authentic voice while producing content that actually converts.

I've been using this tool internally at our agency and decided it's time to share it.

Want to try it for free?

2. Comment "AGENT" below

I'll DM it your way in a few minutes.

P.S. - This isn't your typical "AI writing tool." This is a complete system for creating converting content that sounds exactly like you.

Here's what happened after my client's LinkedIn account got banned:

(a step-by-step recovery guide)

The situation was dire:

• Account shadowbanned
• Content invisible
• No profile activity showing
• Messages not delivering

First step: Cut all VA access immediately
↳ Removed every login credential
↳ Changed password & security settings

Second step: Account verification
↳ Confirmed identity with LinkedIn
↳ Updated all security preferences
↳ Enabled 2-factor authentication

Then... we waited.

(this was the hardest part)

After 48 hours:
• Profile visibility returned
• Content started showing again
• Message functionality restored
• Account back to normal

Key lessons learned:
1. Don't share account access
2. Use single-location logins only
3. Handle engagement personally
4. Keep VAs focused on content prep

The recovery process works, but prevention is better.

Remember:

LinkedIn's algorithm catches suspicious login patterns fast.
But it's also forgiving if you act quickly.

Has your account ever been restricted?

P.S. Some people say a VPN works for them. In my opinion, it lowers the chance of getting banned, but it's not a 100% safe solution since LinkedIn also tracks cookies, session data, and browser characteristics

Growing on LinkedIn feels like solving a puzzle in the dark.

You create.
You share.
You engage.
Still... crickets.

And it gets to you.
Makes you doubt your strategy. Your content. Your approach.

The truth?
Most creators don't crack the code immediately.
Not because their content is bad...

But because they're focused on quantity instead of resonance.

LinkedIn is crowded.
And typical advice? Too simplistic to matter.

"Post daily." "Write longer." "Use more emojis."

But no one mentions how creating content that truly connects requires more than following formulas.

If this is your current struggle:

→ Stop copying others
→ Start telling your stories
→ Share real experiences

The secret isn't in the format.
It's in the authenticity.

Create content that:
1. Solves real problems
2. Shares actual insights
3. Speaks human language

That's when growth happens.
That's when your audience starts building itself.

Focus on helping one person.
Write for one reader.
Not in a "look at my expertise" way.
But in a "here's what worked for me" way.

Your audience isn't waiting for another guru.
They're waiting for someone real.

Which part of LinkedIn growth do you struggle with most?

How to build an audience in 30 days (without paid ads):

1. The Reality Check

I've tested what doesn't work:

• Buying followers → Zero engagement
• Random posting → No strategy
• Generic content → No connection
• Copying others → No authenticity
• Posting everywhere → No focus

2025 winners focus on genuine connection, not vanity metrics.

2. The Numbers Don't Lie

Look at organic growth patterns:

• Day 1-10: 0-100 followers (foundation phase)
• Day 11-20: 100-500 followers (momentum phase)
• Day 21-30: 500-1000+ followers (compound effect)

Yet 95% quit before day 15.

3. The Audience Building Framework

After helping 10+ founders grow, here's what works:

1. Content Strategy - Daily valuable insights
2. Engagement Plan - Strategic commenting
3. Community Building - Real conversations
4. Value First - Help before selling
5. Consistency System - Show up daily

Skip any of these = slow growth, not exponential success.

4. The Content Formula

I've analyzed 1000+ viral posts.

The winning pattern:

• 1 main topic (your expertise)
• 3 content styles (how-to, story, tips)
• 3 unique angles (your experience)

= 9 post ideas for every single topic.

5. The Engagement Blueprint

'Golden hour' rule:

• 25 mins: Comment on fresh posts
• 10 mins: Publish your content + reply to your comments
• 25 mins: Comment on fresh posts

6. The Growth Accelerators

Turn 1 piece of content into multiple touchpoints:

• Main post
• Comment threads
• DM conversations
• Profile optimization
• Featured CTA strategy

7. The Daily Success Formula

The system that builds real followers:

• Write WHAT you know
• Post WHEN your audience is active
• Share WHERE your people are
• Help WHO needs you most

8. The Authenticity Balance

Key principles to remember:

• Helpful ≠ Pushy
• Personal ≠ TMI
• Regular ≠ Boring
• Expert ≠ Know-it-all
• Strategic ≠ Fake

Pure value without personality is forgettable.
Pure personality without value is entertainment.

The sweet spot is where growth happens.

9. Your 30-Day Growth Plan

The exact steps to follow:

Days 1-10: Foundation
• Choose your topic
• Find your voice
• Know your audience
• Set your style

Days 11-20: Execution
• Daily posting
• Strategic commenting
• DM connections
• Track engagement

Days 21-30: Scale
• Optimize what works
• Cut what doesn't
• Build relationships
• Create systems

60 minutes daily for 30 days will transform your presence.

Inside you'll discover:

→ The content strategy that 10x's your followers

Just hosted a mastermind for founders.

(and here is what most founders do wrong)

A founder shared his "problem":
↳ 400k followers on Instagram
↳ Highly engaged audience
↳ No idea what to sell them

The room went silent.

Then everyone started smiling.

Why?

Because this is the best problem you can have in business.

Here's what most founders do:
1. Create a product
2. Try to find an audience
3. Struggle to get sales
4. Give up

But when you build the audience first:
1. You understand their problems
2. You know what they want
3. You create exactly what they need
4. They trust you already

Building an audience is the unfair advantage.

Think about it:
• Zero ad costs
• Instant feedback
• Built-in trust
• Ready buyers

The hardest part of business isn't creating products.
It's finding people who want to buy them.

Start with the audience.
The rest becomes easier.

Which approach are you taking?
↳ Product first
↳ Audience first

I built an AI SDR that booked 18 meetings per week

(and it just replaced my entire outbound team)

Most LinkedIn automation tools are just spam machines.
But this is different.

Here's what makes it special:

• AI analyzes profiles & company data in real-time
• AI qualifies leads & identifies buying intent
• AI crafts hyper-personalized messages
• AI handles objections & books meetings

The results?

→ 18 qualified meetings booked per week
→ 62% response rate on follow-ups
→ Zero accounts banned
→ 100% automated process

The best part?

It works while you sleep.
It scales while you focus on closing.
It learns from every interaction.

This isn't just another LinkedIn tool.
This is what happens when AI meets human-like intelligence.

Want to see how to set up your own AI SDR?

2. Send me a DM

I'll personally show you the exact setup we use.

Things go wrong in tech. Plans change. Launches get delayed.

(this happened to me today)

You can't control:
• How your work turns out
• What happens next
• What other people think

But you can control:
• How you communicate the challenge
• What you learn from the setback
• Your next strategic move

In startup (and life), that's the real test:
→ How you handle the unexpected.

Today is one of those days at Posthero.
We planned a major update launch.

But complexity showed up uninvited at the last step.
Sometimes that's just how it goes in tech.

So we made the call:
Moving the launch to next week.

Not what we wanted.
But it's the right decision.

Because rushing a launch?
That's how good products become bad experiences.

If your week isn't going according to plan?
It's normal.

Reset. Rebuild. Relaunch.
You decide your next move.

Quality > Speed

Wishing you a great weekend!

I book 3-4 demos for my SaaS every day on LinkedIn.

Here's the thing: 

LinkedIn isn't about hunting for clients.

It's about becoming the obvious choice when they're ready to buy.

My approach: 

✅ Content that positions me as the go-to expert
✅ A lead capture system that works 24/7 
✅ Automated follow-up that nurtures without being pushy 
✅ One tool that handles 90% of the heavy lifting

The result? 

Qualified prospects booking demos while I sleep.

A lot of founders don't get this

But here's the truth:

Personal brand beats business brand in the AI era.

But if you build an audience now, you'll feel it when AI takes over.

They'll remember:

- Your unique voice
- Your personal stories
- Your human perspective

They might even become loyal customers.

But if you hide behind your company logo?

That's it.
You'll disappear in the noise.

No AI tool, no automation will fix that.

Because you can't replace human connection with technology.

People follow those who are:

→ Authentic
→ Consistent
→ Real

Build that now, or become irrelevant.

Do you agree?

What to do if your content doesn’t sell.

That’s what I looked into this week

P.S. And yes, I couldn’t resist sharing a recent sunset photo.

A client came to me with a goal: to grow on LinkedIn.

Our content was falling flat for 45 days straight.

But in the past few weeks, we started to see growth.

We haven’t hit our goal yet, but we’re seeing positive traction.
More and more people are liking and commenting on his posts.

Here's exactly what we did:

1. Started with weekly sprints
↳ Listed content hypotheses for next week
↳ Created different formats to test
↳ Tracked all ideas in Google doc

2. Posted & analyzed
↳ Published content consistently
↳ Measured engagement metrics
↳ First month was painful (~500 views per post)

3. Kept testing relentlessly
↳ New formats every week
↳ New topics every week
↳ New writing styles every week

After 20+ posts we cracked the code.

4 types of content that worked well:

• Real-life interviews
• Event experiences
• Personal struggle stories
• Tech product reviews

What bombed completely:
• "How-to" posts
• Basic LinkedIn hacks
• Industry predictions
• Market tips

The biggest insight?

The more advanced your audience, the more they crave personal stories.

(Tips and tricks work for beginners)

Think about it:
Experts don't need another "how-to" guide.
They want real stories from real people.

So next time you write...
Share what happened to you.
Not what should happen to others.

What would I do if I were starting on LinkedIn from scratch?

(Someone asked me)

My answer:

1. Start sharing content daily - even if it's just 15 minutes of writing about what you learned today
2. Focus on one platform first - master LinkedIn before expanding
3. Document your journey instead of waiting to be an expert
4. Engage with 10 relevant accounts in your niche every single day
5. Create a content calendar with 3 core topics you'll consistently discuss

Better personal branding
↳ Visibility
↳ Career growth
↳ More business
↳ Valuable network building
↳ More opportunities find you

Start small, stay consistent, and watch your influence grow.

The best time to start was yesterday.
The second best time is now.
