Transform your reach (the 6-month plan you need now)

Happy Monday,

The first six months of my content journey felt like a whirlwind—but they taught me lessons that accelerated growth with my content and personal brand.

Here's the breakdown (you can use this to plan out your own strategy):

Month 1: The Chaotic Start
I struggled initially, posting without strategy or consistency.

• Lesson: Consistency builds momentum—aim for daily posting.

• Application: Aim for a mix of short-form, long-form, videos, breakdowns, and real-life stories to build authenticity.

Month 2: Finding My Voice
Authenticity led to increased engagement as I shared real insights and experiences.

• Lesson: Your unique perspective is your strongest advantage.

• Application: Map out 10 stories that defined your life/business to this point and write posts around those, focus on Hook→Story→Takeaway.

Month 3: Power of Long-Form Content
I shifted toward in-depth, actionable content. One comprehensive guide went viral, boosting followers.

• Lesson: Detailed, insightful content positions you as an authority.

• Application: Showing is better than telling, if you can guide your audience in solving problems they will pay for you to do it for them.

Month 4: Systems & Scale
I introduced content batching and automation, dramatically reducing stress while maintaining consistent output.

• Lesson: Batching and systems are crucial to sustainable success.

• Application: At the start, it’s easy to miss days when you don’t have a way to batch content. Start with a long newsletter, then turn that into a video, then those into social posts and short-form videos.

Month 5: Leveraging Analytics
I started leveraging analytics provided by platforms and tools like Metricool, refining my approach to content creation.

• Lesson: Data-driven decisions enhance engagement and effectiveness.

• Application: What gets measure, gets improved. Look at what content is working and 3x that messaging.

Month 6: Natural Engagement & Growth
Using Ingage, I boost natural engagement on LinkedIn by interacting authentically with other creators' content. This organic strategy skyrocketed my visibility.

• Lesson: Genuine, strategic engagement multiplies your reach and impact.

• Application: Nothing is worse than posting and getting 3 likes from your college professors, using tools like Ingage gets you real engagement and gives your content a chance to win on the platform.

By month six, I'd surpassed 8,000 followers and built a reliable stream of inbound leads (I went on to grow my audience to over 400k and built a $1M+ agency).

Your next actionable steps:

• Consistently share authentic, valuable content.

• Utilize analytics and automation to optimize results.

• Grow naturally using Ingage for LinkedIn.

• Consider working with Legacy Builder to streamline and scale your content strategy.

Commit to these strategies, and you'll see growth (or just wait another 6 months and nothing will happen).

Keep Building,
