How to Start from ZERO on LinkedIn (full guide)

+ a Simple ChatGPT Prompt to help you write posts

You need to build a personal brand BEFORE u need it.

A personal brand opens up connections and opportunities BEFORE u need them.

You can build one by:

Connecting with people in your space.
Sharing content about your industry.
Talking about your career journey.
Investing time daily before work.

Let me tell you a story that shows why I believe it's worth investing the time..

(even if you are an employee with a job)

In 2022, I contacted a company called CloudApp. 6 months into my contract, they laid off a large % of their team (including me).

The irony of this situation?

When they brought me onโ€ฆ..

I was tasked with managing the company's social media and helping employees build their personal brands on LinkedIn.

The program incentivized employees to post.
Showed them how to engage and network.
Encouraged them to create content.

Of course, many employees quit posting once the $$ incentives ran out.

But I remember one employee specifically did not.

He began getting traction on his posts.

Simply by talking about his job, his industry, and what he was learning.

He leveraged content to get a pay raise and a new job.

While his comrades were getting laid off.

He accepted a new role and $$ spike.

I'd say that's pretty good ROI.

Creating content isn't just for freelancers.

It's for anyone.

Start posting content today.

Start building your personal brand.

Start early....

Before you actually need itโ€ฆ.
