Justin James's Linkedin Analytics

A potential client asked me, "What should I do RIGHT NOW to make more money from my audience?" What I told them boiled down to 3 main things: 1. Get on a platform you OWN - Too many creators nowadays are losing out on sooo much profit due to the social media algorithms, move it to a platform you own like email 2. Start promoting yourself more - Stop trying to give value and educate. Start showing your solutions and pushing people to your platform daily 3. Quit focusing on vanity metrics - Views and likes on your posts does not equal sales. Start creating content for function over fame Before I knew these things, my business was pretty stagnant. I was stuck in the hustle of chasing clients and all my time was spent on lead-gen. Tomorrow I'm sending out an email showing how to start doing these 3 things and see results pretty much immediately. You can get it here: https://lnkd.in/eM7V9K_A (it's free)

If you're working 80-hour weeks to grow your business, read this: Most entrepreneurs think grinding is the only way. But here's why that's completely wrong: Working non-stop doesn't equal success. It equals burnout. Your business should work for you. Not the other way around. Here's what successful owners actually do: They focus on high-impact activities. They automate repetitive tasks. They say no to unnecessary meetings. They protect their time fiercely. And most importantly: They prioritize their well-being. Because a burned-out entrepreneur can't run a thriving business. Start by identifying what truly matters: → Which tasks generate real revenue? → What can you delegate? → Where are you wasting energy? Then cut everything else. Your happiness isn't optional. It's essential for sustainable success. When you're well-rested and energized, Your business naturally grows better. Stop the endless hustle. Start building a business that serves your life.

3 mindset shifts that transformed my coaching business (and client results) 1. I stopped trying to be the "expert" all the time. Instead, I became the guide who helped clients find their own answers. Results? My clients started taking more ownership and getting better outcomes. 2. I quit chasing perfect. Started focusing on progress over perfection. Confidence skyrocketed... because I wasn’t paralyzed by perfectionism anymore. 3. I removed "one-size-fits-all" from my vocabulary. Every client is different. Every journey is unique. Every transformation needs its own path. The moment I embraced this, everything changed: → Better client results → Higher retention rates → Drastic transformations But the biggest shift? My clients started creating sustainable results instead of quick wins that didn't last. Sometimes the smallest mindset shifts create the biggest breakthroughs.

I spent years chasing growth on social media. Here's what changed everything for me. I realized the “growth” I was chasing, It was completely artificial. My social media metrics looked good. It did absolutely nothing for my business. Email subscribers are different. They're people who actually want to hear from you, engage with your content, and potentially become customers. Think about it: → Social algorithms control who sees your posts → Followers don't equal engagement → Platforms can disappear overnight → Email gives you direct access → You own your email list When I shifted focus to growing my email list: - Sales increased - Engagement skyrocketed - ROI became measurable - Customer relationships improved - Marketing became more targeted Now I spend less time worrying about follower counts. Instead, I focus on driving viewers to my email list. Building genuine connections through email. It's transformed my business completely. Your email list is your most valuable asset. Start treating it that way. The sooner you make this shift, the better your business will perform. P.S.

Harsh reality for anyone monetizing their audience: Your "success” isn’t based on follower count. Your "success” isn’t based on engagement. Stop chasing vanity metrics. Start focusing on: - Authentic content - - Genuine interaction - - Demonstrating your solution You’ll find "success” comes a lot quicker and clearer. ↓ If you wanna see how the Profit Players attract ideal clients daily, go here: https://lnkd.in/es6wjx_E (it’s free)

Sending 100s of messages to prospects, without any responses? When I first started freelancing I spent 6 months grinding cold DMs. Sending 100+ messages every single day. Getting ignored. Getting blocked. Getting frustrated. But that wasn't even the worst part... The few replies I did get? “F#*k off” "Not interested" "Remove me from your list" Then I realized something: Cold outreach doesn't work anymore because everyone's doing it wrong. They're treating LinkedIn like a numbers game. Spray and pray doesn't work in 2025. What actually works? 1. Building genuine relationships 2. Creating valuable content 3. Having real conversations 4. Actually helping people I stopped the cold DMs. Started focusing on relationships. Now I get inbound messages every day from people who want to work with me. The irony? The less I chase, the more clients I attract. ↓ If you wanna see how the Profit Players attract ideal clients daily, go here: https://lnkd.in/es6wjx_E (it’s free)

If you see creators always going viral, it’s because they’re posting broad content. It’s no good copying them if you want to build a profitable audience. Or if you aim to create deep, meaningful connections with your followers. It’s tempting to go broad for the numbers. But you gotta understand that engagement isn’t everything. Because a loyal, profitable audience can be far more valuable. ↓ p.s. if you want to build a profitable following, join the Profit Players here: https://lnkd.in/es6wjx_E (it's free)
