Why You Need to Read This Book?
If you post a lot on LinkedIn, follow gurus, attend regular webinars, and still not get results… This is
For You.
I believe everyone should create good content FASTER and get leads for their business.
They post regular content yet their inbox is drier than the Sahara desert. Inbound leads seem like a
complete scam to them, so they quit after several weeks or don't try at all.
What if I told you a year ago I thought the same, but actually built my writing career and have helped
10+ creators in 2023 generate leads from my system.
AFTER completing this book, I'm confident you will save 8-10 hours per week on Content Creation
& start creating magnetic content that generates leads on autopilot.
Disclaimer: This is not another get quick leads BS or templates that guarantee sales. In fact, hooks,
bold promises, and mainstream templates are even not part of this book.
Furthermore, hooks & templates are all surface-level things. In this book, we will dive deep down.
Let's begin…

Why You Fail to Get Results from LinkedIn?
Last week, I was talking to a sales coach and he told me the number #1 reason people fail on
LinkedIn is not their product or the offer.
They simply won't make a purchase… no matter how good your offer is.
But If they pitch the same pencil to someone without writing utensils, the same pencil is desirable
now.
For example⤵
You pitch your writing services to an agency owner struggling to get clients.
Make sure, you don't offer your services to broke, struggling clients, or businesses who have
absolutely no idea what they want on LinkedIn.
And If you offer your services to a desirable audience. You won't have to sell it. They'll fight to buy
from you.
It is hard to attract anyone or everyone, turn them into paying customers, and deliver results.
When you sell to everybody, you broaden the scope of work and lessen the impact of your results.
That's why clarity and a targeted approach get you the best results!

In the next chapter, we talk about how we will double down your ICP problems so you can create
more resonating content.
On LinkedIn, your actions should begin with the awareness of your ICP problems.
It is when you bring those problems to the limelight that causes unrest. That unrest leads to finding
means to resolve those problems.
They approach the solution first and dig into the problem later which leads to a scattered, and
ambiguous message.
That gap should separate their current solution from their ideal future and should be backed by solid
reasons why the current solution is not enough to save them.
You can do it by finding that vulnerable selling spot. Here's how to find your ICP's.
A subpar marketer sees this…. "I want a new job" & proposes that he can land them a job!
A great marketer would see this…. "I want a new job"… → and he asks, Why?
"To have more money"… → Then asks, what would more money do?
4
"So I can have more people on my team"… → Then asks, what would that bring you?
"I will have plenty of free time"… → Then asks, what would you do in that free time?
If you get to those vulnerable spots, you can sell them what you wish you wanted to. Even a
telescope!
On LinkedIn, your strategy should be focusing on that deeper level else it'll fail every time.
…So how do we further dig down into our ICP deep emotions and desires?
Everybody babbles this quote but nobody explains how this happens:
So there is generally three types of problems every CEO, executive or your ICP will ever have,
1) internal 2) external 3) philosophical.
However, these might be good motivators to inspire action from your ICP but these are not the
best.
As we talked earlier, every problem is more deep-rooted than you think. And it's when you target
those deep frustrations, problems, or desires, that you stand out from the crowd.
After working with dozens of coaches in two years, I figured out that a typical coach's first
internal dialogue is somewhat like this:
5
● Am I a good coach?
● Is my work aligning with my reader's expectations?
● Does my audience think I'm the expert I claim to be?
As a marketer, If you call out those internal problems instead of external ones, selling becomes
a lot easier.
Now here's a detailed overview of how each type of problem looks in real life:
While the majority focus on external problems, you should be talking about internal ones.
Realize that often you would need to cater to the internal problems with a solution too.
Sometimes you will have to address external problems and philosophical problems together.
There's no hard & fast rule. But 80% of the time, you gotta be targeting internal problems over
external ones.
Grab a diary 📔 and a pen ✏️ and jot down all the external, internal, and philosophical problems
your ICP. Look at previous conversations, call recordings, and Quora.
The more detailed the better, these points will help in the next chapter when you form your
content strategy.
Now that leads to another intriguing question…How to make people buy from you?
6
While each person is unique, their fundamental needs remain the same, don't they?
So If we use different angles to write our posts, we can appeal to different ICP mindsets.
● Perceived status
● Social acceptance
● Comfort and clarity
● Freedom from uncertainty
● Living life on one own's terms
Next time when you post, instead of creating new angles, try tapping one of the above desire
and linking it to your service/product.
📔 Note: Educate about the problem → Introduce your service → Demonstrate how you help 🪄
Goal: Focus on the desire from different angles.
*Every CEO, Entrepreneur, or your ICP has these basic desires. Each desire has its problems
and challenges associated with it.
Now again grab a dairy 📔 and write down every problem or challenge your ICP has associated
with these desires. This will do two things:
7
Here's how problems/challenges associated with basic desires look like:
● 17 y.o are earning more than you ● AI will replace you in 2024
● Nobody takes your work seriously ● You will need a high-paying job
● You'll get rich if you start doing this… ● You will have to juggle multiple jobs
● Fancy lifestyle or expensive things ● Covering your family would be hard
● Imagine how people will perceive you ● You will betray your family lineage
You pick one of these and write about it And when the iron is still hot, introduce your service/
product and demonstrate your solution!
If you craft your content strategy on this desire, your content will resonate better and have
higher chances of conversions; because now you're talking directly to them.
My girlfriend thinks I'm a nerd and nobody reads my work! But here you are. I owe you a cup of
tea.

How to Beat the Competition?
You are just another coach. Or another agency owner, copywriter, or ghostwriter. Who would
buy your services?
Or think of it like this... If you're a person who wants to hire anyone of the above, who will you
hire?
● Write what makes your solution unique. That's your unique mechanism.
● Write 3-5 steps on how you exactly solve the problem.
● Test it on your fellow creators as a tryout.
● Give it a unique name (trust me guys).
● Experiment and improvise over time.
Additionally, you can borrow the solution from multiple sources and combine them to make your
foundation. Don't copy, use them as inspiration.
While we are of this, but we still make this mistake over and over. This leads to an unclear and
unstructured message in our posts.
To mitigate this challenge, you can choose one point from the checklist below and as soon you
achieve it. Stop the post. It's succinct already.
Each time before posting make sure it serves one of these checklists.

Creating a Content Strategy 2024
📔 Side note: Take a diary and a pen and write down answers to each question. The more
elaborative your answers are, the more clarity you will have on the strategy.
Who are they? What is a 3-5 step plan to get What does their ideal future
Where are they now? them to their desired look like after working with
Where do they want to be? situation? you?
Clarity on the above point also helps you form your offer and during client calls too. Above all, It
makes the process and transformation easy to understand for your client.
Once you're down with the notes, you're good to move toward creating a content strategy.
There are two types of content strategy. Both of them have worked with me, and my clients.
The first is one is a straightforward strategy. The latter is a more focused strategy.
The first one demands less time and is for more busy creators.
The latter is more focused on in-depth targeting of your ICPs.
10
The Rule of 2-Content
This strategy is focused more on busy founders, executives, and CEOs.
If you don't like complex funnels or you tend to forget which post to publish which day, you can
try this straightforward, less time-consuming strategy.
I used this for four months when I started and had decent results. In December, I wrote 5 posts
for my client, and he got 2 leads from them, one turned into a paying coaching client.
As the name suggests, your content is divided into two types only.
● Problem-solving content
● Authority Building content
Each content type serves a different purpose. Let's look into each separately…
1. Problem-solving content:
Helps to build an audience, attract more views, and show your skills.
11
2. Authority-building content:
Such content helps to position you as the choice for your target audience.
⚫ ⚫ ⚫
Helps to build trust, credibility, encourages action, and gives proof:
⚫
Case studies Screenshots Testimonials, “Here are our results”
Explainer videos (that demos your skills or services)
📔 Side note: This type of content is focused on your ideal clients. It's the one that gets you the
leads most of the time. Also, don't feel down if it gets low impressions because its purpose is
lead generation.
12
I know what you are thinking. How often should I post these? 💭
The rule of thumb here is… 80% problem-solving, 20% authority-building.
So If you are posting 6 times a week. 5 posts should be problem-solving, and 1 should be
authority building.
If you have more case studies, you can increase the ratio to 4:2.
***
Now that you have a clearer picture of the type of content and why, and how they work.
Well, If I tell you, my biggest challenge was coming up with post ideas.
I found If I have one idea, I can turn it into several posts. Here's how:
***
Post #1 → Case study → I helped my X launch a coaching business & achieve [results]
Post #3 → Observation → How coaches can grow their brand to $10k a month?
Post #4 → Lesson → 1 lesson I got after working 10+ years in coaching business
13
***
The funnel content strategy is guiding people through different buying stages, from unaware, to
problem aware to solution and product aware before they decide to do something, like buy your
services or product.
One image is worth ten sentences. Have a look at how a funnel works:
At the top Many people are just looking for a source of knowledge Awareness
As they go down Some become more interested in what you're selling Interest
14
So, it's like helping people step by step, from being unaware to curious to making a decision!
***
There are millions of active creators. People don't know you exist. Or how good your offer is.
Your content should turn the unaware audience → aware → desire → action-taker.
The biggest advantage of those who have a content strategy planned compared to those who
haven't is that they have more clarity and more control over the customer journey.
When they get an idea they can immediately label it and which funnel it belongs to,
Content creation is easier than ever. It's less stressful and more enjoyable.
Above all, if you follow the funnel it takes your customer on a journey from unaware to
product-aware and eager to buy.
15
TL;DR It is the most efficient and productive way of conversion.
***
Once you've grasped the funnels theory. It's time to put that into practice.
Here's the content calendar you can use to organize your posting strategy.
The idea is to help you understand your ICPs, how they think, how you can create resonating
content, and then posting strategies, once you master these the last part is creating the post
itself.
Use these to craft your own unique posts in under 15 minutes. You can experiment/ amend
them for your needs, ICPs.
16
If you've read the book till the end and taken notes. I tell you that you've more clarity than 85%
of the people creating content out there.
If you haven't, grab a diary and jot down the things I've mentioned throughout the chapters.
Once your ICP, your message, and the way is clear… content creation comes as easy as a walk
in the park!
Stick to the basics, create batch content, and stick to it for 45 days. You'll thank me later!
Take good care of yourself, and don't hesitate to drop a review or talk in DMs!
