Personal Brand Firestarter
“A cringe-free way to really make LinkedIn work for you”
6 one-to-one calls over 6 weeks. More effective content forever.
LinkedIn has the potential to raise your profile and generate opportunities and leads. But right now it’s doing nothing for you. It’s time to start a fire with your LinkedIn posts…
You’re good at what you do.
You’ve got a pretty solid business built up from word-of-mouth.
But you want to grow.
And you know that to grow, you need to be more widely known. You need to spread the word beyond your immediate circle.
Problem is… you’re a bit stuck.
You’re on LinkedIn, and you see other people building a name for themselves.
Those people are getting loads of engagement, and talking about all the leads they get on LinkedIn.
Maybe you haven’t plucked up the courage to do more than share other people’s content.
Or maybe you’ve been posting for a while now, but it’s only ever your favourite client Gemma and your cousin Rob who like your posts.
The voices in your head are fighting…
The little angel on your right shoulder whispers in your ear “if they can do it, you can do it” but the little devil on your left shoulder says “that’s for other people, internet gurus, celebrities!”
You want to believe you can do it, but you’re not sure what to do next, you feel like you’re fumbling around in a darkened room, looking for the light switch.
It’s like a full-time job figuring it all out on your own.
You’ve tried everything.
You’ve read blog posts, attended free webinars, maybe even done a few courses – but you just can’t seem to get any traction on LinkedIn.
You feel like you’ve tried everything, but you know that can’t be right, or you’d have cracked it by now.
But you’ve gone as far as you can without support and mentorship.
You’re ready to work with me.
Let’s create content that grows your personal brand and supports your business.
🔥 Let’s get a fire started 🔥
Personal Brand Firestarter
The non-yucky growth method for service-based solopreneurs ready to set a fire under their personal brand on LinkedIn.
One-to-one. 6 weeks. 6 calls. 45mins each. PLUS content feedback between calls.
Get a roadmap for creating content that feels authentic, natural and 100% you (aka non-yucky). Be guided through a step-by-step process that ensures you’re never too far out of your comfort zone as you…
- Get set up for success – plan a content strategy tailored to your specific business goals.
- Know your audience – speak directly to the people who need your services so you can guide them through the customer journey.
- Balance value and entertainment – weave enjoyable stories into your business posts to bring a light-hearted balance to your content.
- Bring yourself fully to your content – show up authentically and build trust with your presence.
- Lead the way – make sure your followers know what the next steps are to engage your services.
- Fill in the gaps – assess what’s working – and what’s not – so you know how to adjust accordingly.
Let’s do this…
There’s no need for LinkedIn to turn into your second job
You know you’re ready for the Firestarter when…
- You know it must be possible to get leads from LinkedIn but right now it just feels like a chore with no upside.
- You know you need to post, but you can’t afford for it to take over your whole week!
- You’re worried that you’re wasting time and none of what you’re doing is working.
- You don’t know how to juggle the social media stuff with the actual work.
- You’re constantly second guessing yourself.
- You don’t know how to confidently move forward.
Basically, you’re just done with watching from the sidelines. You want to be one of those personal brands churning up enviable levels of enthusiasm for your posts. You want LinkedIn to be worth your time.
Let’s get that fire started!
You’ll feel certain about your approach because it’ll be supported by analysis that proves it works
The progress you make will be clear because you’ll track important metrics including…
- How many times a week are you posting on LinkedIn?
- By what percentage has your engagement rate increased?
- By what percentage has your connection count increased?
- What’s your average view count and how has that increased?
- Have any client opportunities come through?
Because it’s not just about building your confidence as a content creator. It’s also about tracking your progress. You’ll see the payoff of your efforts in front of you.
6 weeks of 1:1 mentorship
That’s all it takes to transform content creation from a pointless additional task you feel obligated to do into a strategy that grows your business.
Here’s how that happens…
- Hop on a 15 minute call with me where we make sure this is the right thing for you – if it is, we can set a start date
- We’ll meet over Zoom once a week for 45 minutes for no-nonsense content coaching and to clarify what your next steps should be.
- In between calls, you’ll complete thought-provoking tasks, always with the outcome of establishing your personal brand, generating relevant content, and growing your engagement on LinkedIn.
- Throughout the 6 weeks, I’m always just an email away when you need questions answered.
- You also have the option of crafting your content in Google Drive where I can hop in with feedback and suggestions before you publish on LinkedIn.
- At the end of the six weeks, we’ll look at your metrics to assess how you’ve improved and how to keep improving.
Ready to start?
Wait a sec, have we met?
If not, we should.
Quickly about me:
- I’ve 20+ years’ experience helping businesses with their online presence.
- I’m the owner of the most-talked-about moustache in the personal branding world.
- I’m one half of the award-winning digital marketing team Frank and Marci.
I’m proof that you don’t have to be super polished (or even clean-shaven) to have a personal brand that grabs people’s attention and gets them talking.
You just have to be you – which is harder than it sounds in the online space.
A few years ago, I started worrying about the insanely high number of solopreneurs who are great at what they do, but they drop the ball when it comes to representing their personal brands online. It creates a huge missed opportunity for business growth.
So I got to work, helping personal brands rise above the blah to show the world how brilliant they are.
Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of people get excited about creating content… and seen the payoff for their personal brand.
A 1,570% increase in comments?!
These are my LinkedIn stats (from a tool called Shield Analytics) which shows my year-to-date compared to last year.
846% increase in likes, 1,570% increase in comments, 55% increase in engagement.
I want to share with you everything I’ve learned about increasing engagement, so that you can also look back on your past stats and see clear growth.
Do I have to already be active on LinkedIn for the Firestarter?
And other clever questions you need answers to
Do I have to already be active on LinkedIn for the Firestarter?
Nope. I can coach you from wherever you are – whether you publish the occasional post or you haven’t logged in to your profile in over a year.
But it’s important you already have your LinkedIn profile set up. If you’ve yet to create an account, add a headshot, write your headline, and so on, get on that before getting in touch.
Does my business need to be at least a year old before I do the Firestarter?
The length of time you’ve been in business doesn’t matter.
As long as your offer has achieved ‘product market fit’ – as in people have paid you for your offer, even if it’s only been a few times – you’re eligible for the Firestarter.
I’m not sure I’m a personal brand. Does that disqualify me?
Maybe you’ve never thought of yourself as a personal brand, but If you’re a service-based solopreneur, then you are one.
The types of people who often fall into this category are coaches, consultants, therapists, online course creators, marketers, and freelancers.
Not sure that’s you? Send me a quick email and I’ll help you figure it out.
I hate writing. You really think you can turn me into a content creator?
You don’t have to be a good writer to craft great content.
That’s what the Firestarter is about – turning you into an excellent content creator. You may not even publish text-based posts at all. Maybe video is more your thing.
But even though it’s not an objective of the Firestarter, don’t be surprised if your writing gets better along the way.
What happens if I do the Firestarter and my stats don’t improve?
If you commit yourself to going all in and showing up week after week to do the work, and you do it thoroughly and as outlined, it’s unlikely your stats won’t improve.
But if you do the work exactly as outlined and don’t experience an increase in your stats (we’ll be looking at engagement rate, reach, and followers) from the start to the end of the Firestarter, you’ll get weekly 30-min calls with me (at no extra cost) until you do. So it’s a Risk-Free Commitment.
I only have 53 LinkedIn connections. Will the Firestarter work for me?
After being on LinkedIn for the better part of a decade, my wife, Marci, only had about 40 connections up until a couple of years ago. Now she’s well over 2,000 and rising all the time. She does the work. She makes it happen.
I have zero content ideas. I’m convinced there’s nothing I could post on LinkedIn that would be interesting to anyone else. Would the Firestarter be a waste of my time?
It sounds like there couldn’t be a better time for you to start a fire.
You’ll be amazed by how much easier it is to create content once you turn on that part of your brain that knows a good idea when it sees it.
How much time will I need to devote to this programme?
To start with you’ll need 45 mins for each call. Together, we’ll figure out what works for you in terms of time spent creating content and engaging on LinkedIn.
But this is not a magic formula – you do need to put time aside to make this work for your business.
Plan for at least ten minutes engagement time on LinkedIn daily, and if you’re brand new to content creation you might need an hour for each piece of content – we can start you out on one piece of content per week. Over time, you’ll speed up considerably.
If you’re more experienced, we will tailor the strategy to suit.
“It was a massive thing for me to be able to simplify my approach”
LinkedIn was where I needed to establish a strong voice as an expert in my field. However, even those words made me quake in my boots, and so I didn’t ever post anything.
During Firestarter I had a breakthrough, because I was really resistant to the work but you made me see that actually I just needed to make it simple.
Once I got that, once it clicked, it was a massive thing for me to be able to simplify my approach. So thank you. I really appreciate it.
“A cringe-free way to really make LinkedIn work for you”
The proof is in the pudding. I’ve increased engagement and followers, I understand how often to post, how to construct posts, and I have a better strategy around the areas and topics I should focus on.
You’re knowledgeable enough that you adapt to the client and can focus on what the individual client’s needs are. I felt listened to and I felt that you engaged with what I needed.
It’s a cringe-free way to really make LinkedIn work for you, and be fun at the same time!
“A really comfortable, easy, and non-formal way of learning”
I was coming up to a year in business and the low hanging fruit had been touched, I needed to go on to the next level. I was terrified, but you’re fantastic in terms of your encouragement. You made me feel at ease. You gave me that confidence to post. It’s a really comfortable, easy, and non-formal way of learning, which is a brilliant way of doing it. So I want to thank you for being patient, for being encouraging and for everything that you’ve done.
“The stats are great. They speak for themselves.”
The stats are great. They speak for themselves. Impressions are up, engagement is up, and profile visits are up. If I can provide value, then it will be reflected in the stats.
Praise for other programmes
FIrestarter is brand new, but check out the praise myself and Marci received for helping people increase their Facebook engagement…
I would 100% recommend this training because Frank and Marci will make you feel like you can actually do it and you will use the tools in your journey to build your audience. They speak in a language that makes you feel bigger for engaging with the training and not smaller because you didn’t know what you were doing prior to them sharing their knowledge. They’ll also use cultural references that will make you smile and at the end of the day, these kinds of touches matter!
Frank and Marci’s expertise in marketing and copywriting is invaluable and they offer great support for everyone. There was great humour to be had also. Its a safe group with supportive encouraging people. Everyone in the group wants the same thing,to market their business,provide friendly feedback,offer support and make connections. I really enjoyed the training and I would like to thank Frank and Marci for helping me kickstart my facebook page.
Loved the training, loved the emails, very engaging with a new topic each time. Loved the direct feedback on how to restructure and edit posts. I would absolutely recommend this training! Great engagement, very useful exercises, fantastic to get direct feedback and advice. And, lovely people, no ott sales patter or long winded scripted emails, just genuine, direct and very helpful advice.
