How We Cracked the Code on LinkedIn Success (And Why Most Experts Are Getting It Wrong)

Only 3% of professionals on LinkedIn are consistently getting leads and clients. The other 97%? They’re posting random value content, hoping something sticks… …and wondering why their “brilliant” post got 3 likes from their mom, college roommate, and that one overly enthusiastic connection who hearts everything. We were in that 97% once, too. Until we cracked the code. And no, it wasn’t about hacks, algorithms, or daily motivational quotes slapped on stock photos. It was when we realized this: - The people winning on LinkedIn treat it NOTHING like other platforms. - They follow a completely different playbook, one that’s strategic, intentional, and designed to convert visibility into real business results. We reverse-engineered what the top 3% were doing. Then we built it into a system that any service-based pro can run in just 20 minutes a week. We call it the Visibility to Conversion Roadmap: - Authority-building content that creates real conversations, not vanity metrics - Strategic engagement tools (polls, comments, DMs) that build trust and open doors - Consistent publishing systems that keep you top of mind without burning out Then we took it further: - Proprietary AI prompts (not the robotic kind) - Canva templates that look professional in the feed - Monthly trainings and accountability that drive actual traction - A real community that understands what you do We’re not selling “post and pray” templates. We’re helping real experts get real clients with content that works. And if you’ve ever thought, “I know I’m good at what I do. I just wish the right people could see it.” This is your invitation. Let us show you how the right content system can turn that visibility into your next best client. Ready to make LinkedIn finally work for you?

Your LinkedIn Content Is The Top Of Your Sales Funnel

Most People Treat LinkedIn Like a Platform..... But It’s Actually a Pipeline.If you're still treating your content like a “nice-to-have,” you're missing what it's doing:It's filling the top of your sales funnel.The right kind of content posted consistently and with a purpose isn’t just about likes and impressions.It’s about building the kind of trust, authority, and relatability that gets people to take action.Here’s what that looks like in real life:Someone engages with your post? That’s a signal. Message them. Ask what resonated.Someone votes on your poll? You’ve got data and a reason to follow up. Now you’re having conversations, not cold outreach.Someone subscribes to your newsletter? Don’t ignore it. Reach out. Thank them. Start building the relationship.This is how you move people from online to offline.From “scrolling” to scheduling.But it only works if you’re showing up with content that teaches, shares, and connects without sounding like everyone else.That’s why I’m such a fan of using text-based image posts, poll questions, and newsletter editions that combine your lived experience with smart structure.If you get this right, you’ll never have to rely on cold DMs, pitchy connection requests, or spammy sales tactics again.Your content can do the heavy lifting.But only if you treat LinkedIn like the top of your funnel and not just another place to “show up.”

How To Create More Organic Leads On LinkedIn

Most people on LinkedIn are trying to create leads the hard way…Cold messages. Mass outreach. Endless posting with little response.But what if I told you there are three easy opportunities already sitting inside your LinkedIn account that you're probably ignoring? In this episode, I break down three simple strategies to generate more warm leads without spending a dime on ads and without spamming anyone:Push Notifications with Purpose: - LinkedIn notifies you when someone changes jobs or celebrates a work anniversary, but most people tend to ignore these notifications.- What if you used them to send a personalized message that starts a conversation?Poll Voter Follow-Up:- Every time someone votes on your LinkedIn poll, they’re raising their hand and showing interest.- Don’t let that opportunity disappear; send them a tailored message based on how they voted. Newsletter Subscriber Outreach:- These are individuals who opt to receive regular updates from you.- Why not reach out, thank them, and ask what kind of content or support would be most helpful to them?None of this is gimmicky.None of this requires you to be pushy.It's all about messaging with intention and starting real, relevant conversations.Don't forget to sign up for our FREE "Clients on Command: Your LinkedIn Content Roadmap" Workshop here:https://www.thetimetogrow.com/LinkedInContentRoadmap
