Alex Colhoun on LinkedIn: The best tip I can give you today for monetizing online is this: (no… | 105 comments (2024)

One of the most painful things to see as a LinkedIn creator is this: Seeing others find success while you remain stuck at zero. The internet makes this problem worse: • Poor ideas are making tons of money. • Trash content goes viral. • Everyone listens to beautiful influencers. • People are attracted to ultra-fast paces. Why is everyone getting what you want EXCEPT you? There's one main reason for this. I see comments all the time: "Alex, how did you grow SO fast??" Here's the thing: I didn't. 99% of those people didn't see: • 6 years on X. • 1 year on LinkedIn. • 8 years on Twitch. • 2 failed product launches. • 4 years of freelance work. No one is an "overnight" success. Keep doing the work, and you'll see massive results on LinkedIn. — Enjoy this? ♻️ Repost it to your network and follow Alex Colhoun to build your 1-person business on LinkedIn.

Do you know the #1 reason why LinkedIn creators aren't reaching their goals?It's completely prevented creators from:• Building their 6-figure business.• Launching multiple successful products.• Building a massive network online.• Starting a side hustle to quit their job.The reason is this:Creators aren't able to delay gratification.Sure, it's not easy sometimes.In today's online world, we're taught that we can have everything (in an instant).Over the past twelve months on LinkedIn:• I've reached 25,000 followers on LinkedIn.• Written copy for various articles.• Posted 10,000 tweets on X.• Written over 3,000 LinkedIn posts.• Built 6+ revenue streams.• Coached over 100 creators.• had my content read by 7M+ people.• Built a thriving one-person business.All of this is because I decided to write, build, and focus on creating online.Think about this:If you were to work on:• What you want.• When you want.• With who you want.You'd be living your dream, right?It's 100% possible (I'm doing it).When you:• Follow a proven system.• Have the guts to fail.• Build a set of tasks and goals.You'll have exactly what you need to find success online.You won't find what you're looking for overnight...The goal isn't to grow or make money "super fast"...The goal is to do it forever.Let's keep going together.—Enjoy this? ♻️ Repost it to your network and follow Alex Colhoun to build your 1-person business on LinkedIn.

I'm consistently helping clients obtain 15-20+ new qualified leads each month. The process starts with engaging on LinkedIn.Here's how I create the best comments:1) I Post Daily at 7:07 AM CSTPost around the same time other creators are in your specific niche. Engage with comments on other creator's posts 15 minutes before and after you post.This will:• Drive more engagement. • Push your content to active users.2) Engage with Your CommentsAfter you post, spend 30-45 minutes engaging with your own posts:• Ask questions. • Inspire people. • Express gratitude. • Build your audience.3) Add a 📌 Comment After 10 MinutesYou can "pin" your comments by auto-plugging a pinned emoji.This is the top comment on your post. Here's what works best:• Asking questions. • Providing bonus advice. • Adding additional tips. More comments = more engagement. 4) Use My Engagement SheetI use one for daily engagement. It contains 10-15 creators in my niche that I 100% interact with daily. You'll find it in the comments. • Comment on the creator's posts. • Reply to five other comments in replies. • Rinse and repeat daily. Practice on this post today.

In just 14 days of content, I'm working with 3 new long-term clients. Here's how I write content that converts: Most of the content you create isn't working: • You're wasting time. • You're wasting energy. • You're wasting money. You can sell a great product... But if your content doesn't convert... You're skipping the top of the funnel. Here's the format of my content: • Addressing Your ICP • Addressing ICP Pain • Providing Ideal Scenarios • Providing Solutions I sent over 29,000 creators my action plan to start creating content that converts.

You are creating content wrong.Here's how to get better in 30 seconds:• It doesn't matter what your niche is.• Who your target audience is.• Or how often you post.Follow my 6-step framework to start creating content that actually makes you money:1) Make Your Point (Fast)Here's what you need:• Hooks• Bullet Points• Formatting• ListsGet your audience from Point A to Point B as fast as possible. 2) Be Less ConfusingEvery line in your post should make sense. • Stop using 100+ emojis. • Stop talking about 1,000 different things.Write a hook, be super transparent, and end with a firm conclusion. 3) Use My 1-3-1 Formatting Method"Hello, I'm AlexRepost this.And follow me. That's it. Thank you!"This is how the 1-3-1 formatting looks.No need to be fancy. 4) Lengthy Post Doesn't Mean GoodYour post should be shorter than the average iPhone screen.5) Proofread 2/3 TimesThe first draft of your posts are poor. • Go through your posts. • Remove unnecessary words. • Fix the formatting. 6) Pull Your Audience InWrite a powerful hook (first step). Create your hook visually in an image + the first two lines of your post. Hook > ClickbaitKeep focusing on the flow of your content; everything has a purpose. —Enjoy this? ♻️ Repost it to your network and follow me (Alex Colhoun) for more.Want to scale your business even faster?
