Your LinkedIn profile isn’t just a resume.
It can be a powerful list-building tool if you set it up right.
Here are 3 ways to turn your profile into an email-capturing machine:
✅ Add a clickable link in your headline to make it easy for visitors to take the next step.
✅ Use the Featured section to spotlight one clear CTA (lead magnet, booking link, etc.).
✅ Start a LinkedIn Newsletter with a CTA at the end of every edition — and showcase it in your Featured content too.
Small tweaks.
Big results.
Today's podcast episode breaks it all down, step by step.

If you’re using ChatGPT to write LinkedIn content, but it still doesn’t sound like you or drive the engagement you hoped for, this is for you.
In today’s episode, you will learn exactly how to use ChatGPT as a collaborator, not a crutch.
Here are a few key takeaways:
🔹 Start with strategy: ChatGPT is a tool, but it needs direction. You need to know what you’re creating, who it’s for, and what action you want the reader to take.
🔹 Give it your voice: Your tone. Your language. Your rhythm. The best way to do this? Feed it your past posts, emails, or notes in your actual voice. Then, ask it to match that style in everything it creates.
🔹 Structure wins: ChatGPT thrives when you give it structure. That’s why using tested frameworks like hook > insight > story > CTA can make even a simple idea hit harder.
🔹 Edit like a human: AI can get you 80% of the way there. But it’s your perspective, your experience, and your expertise that bring it to life. Never skip the human touch.
That’s exactly why we created the Expert Content Society: to give you not just tools and prompts but actual strategy, structure, and support to make your content connect.
Today’s episode will give you exactly what you need to co-create with ChatGPT more confidently and consistently.
If you’re inside the Expert Content Society, this is just one more piece of the content engine we’re building together.

Many people focus solely on posting their own content, but if you’re not engaging with others, you’re missing out on one of the biggest growth strategies on LinkedIn.💡 Here’s why commenting on posts can be a game-changer:1️⃣ Exposure to New Connections – Every time you leave a thoughtful comment, you show up in front of that person’s audience. - This means more people see your name, profile, and expertise, leading to more connection requests and profile views.2️⃣ The Power of the Most Relevant Comment – If your comment adds value, it can become the top comment on a post, bringing even more visibility your way. - People naturally engage with insightful, bold, or thought-provoking responses—so don’t just drop an emoji or “great post” and move on!3️⃣ Show Your Expertise & Grow Your Network – Commenting strategically allows you to position yourself as an expert without creating a full post. -Over time, people will recognize you as a leader in your industry, making them more likely to follow you, connect, and even do business with you.🔥 Pro Tip: Don’t just engage randomly. Find industry leaders, ideal clients, or influencers in your space and consistently add VALUE to their comment sections.
