Quick takeaways

Starting a LinkedIn growth agency can capitalize on the massive opportunity for audience growth on the platform.

A service focused on driving growth for newsletters can cater to the demand of founders and entrepreneurs who want to create their own newsletters without dealing with the business and growth side of it.

There is a need for a service dedicated to driving growth for personal brands and content creators, allowing them to outsource the growth aspect and focus on delivering valuable content.

LinkedIn Growth Agency

One idea is to start a LinkedIn growth agency, as LinkedIn currently presents a massive opportunity for audience growth. By creating carousels of proven tweets or repurposing existing content, like blog posts, founders and entrepreneurs can build a strong LinkedIn presence. This agency would handle all aspects of LinkedIn growth, from optimizing landing pages to managing newsletter swaps and paid ads.
