Start Writing On Linkedin In 30 Days
(with a community of 4,000+ others)
It feels scary to create content for 2+ years.
It feels daunting to create content for 2+ years. You won’t see much growth, or many opportunities, in the early stages.
You’ll have to get over the fear of judgment from friends, family, and strangers on the internet.
You’ll have to figure out what you’re going to talk about, and why anyone would care what you’ve got to say.
You’ll need to learn about writing frameworks, writing headlines, creating new ideas, formatting, and continuing when no one is reading.
You’ll worry that you’re going to run out of ideas.
You’ll be constantly thinking about the LinkedIn algorithm, while simultaneously trying not to think about the LinkedIn algorithm.
You’ll end up getting tons of DMs from other people, figuring out which opportunities you should be going after.
This is hard.
It takes a lot of work.
But it’s also really fun, and if you can make it work, it’s genuinely life-changing.
The Brand30 Course & Community
The Brand30 community is a 30-day live cohort-based course where I’ll teach you everything I know about how to build and grow your LinkedIn into a sustainable machine that churns out valuable content for your audience and generates healthy opportunities for you, without having to quit your job.

Yours Truly went from knowing ZILCH about SaaS to helping build a $250M+ ARR behemoth in 7 years.
That's right, folks!
But how did this brainchild (me!) do it?
Lean in, because I’m about to spill the motherload of secrets.
No fluff. No BS.
1. Chameleon Mode ACTIVATE!
Like a chameleon, I adapted and learned from everything and everyone.
Hungry for knowledge, I inhaled blogs, courses, and bad coffee with successful folks.
Be the chameleon.
2. Networking or NOT-working
The SaaS world is one big high school cafeteria.
Know who’s who, and be buddies with the cool kids.
But for real, relationships matter. Build genuine connections.
3. Solve Problems Like It’s an Escape Room
Customers got problems. You gotta solve them, Sherlock!
I made it my mission to find pain points and created solutions quicker than you can say “Abracadabra.”
4. Data is Your New BFF
Like a pirate looking for treasure, I got OBSESSED with data.
Numbers, trends, analytics - you name it, I devoured it.
You can’t navigate the high seas without a map, my friend.
5. Build a DREAM TEAM
Can’t do it alone, hombre.
I surrounded myself with a team so good that the Avengers would be jealous.
Get people who fill your weaknesses and bolster your strengths.
Let’s Wrap This Burrito
So here’s the deal - you don’t have to climb Mt. Everest to build a SaaS Empire.
Be adaptable, network like a pro, solve problems like a boss, treasure your data, and build the dream team.
Now take this 5-point checklist and go make your wildest SaaS dreams a reality.
