Top Highlights

• Without contact details you can’t make money.

• For those who say LinkedIn is dead, they’re a long way off.

• Lots of bad content on a social media platform is a huge advantage, not a disadvantage. If you simply publish slightly better content then you can do what Justin did. You can quickly find a loyal audience who’ve been dying to find content worth engaging with.

• Twitter is where you practice the inner-badass you’ve been hiding from the world, or your boss.

• Bring a slightly controversial conversation to LinkedIn and you’ll quickly find an audience. There are people on LinkedIn who’ve spent their entire career hiding from the truth. Speak those truths.

• Here are some examples: (1) Are most of your employer’s senior leaders male? Why is that? (2) Are you tired of job interviews where you put on a Broadway Show? (3) Does all the revenue talk exhaust you at work? (4) Does boarding a packed train every morning to go to work and jam in like sardines feel a little lame when VR technology could end the commute?

• Being bold helps you find an audience.

• Justin says he has posted every weekday for 30 months. That’s how he got to a point where he made $20K in 9 hours.

• produce content every day.

• We’ve got to see your content a lot and learn who you are before we ever spend a dollar with you.

• creativity is how you get paid online.

• You put the call-to-action link in the “featured” section of your LinkedIn profile.

• The featured section is powerful because you can use external links, and LinkedIn’s algorithm doesn’t penalize you for it. Read that again.

• the LinkedIn Featured section is a secret society that many content creators haven’t discovered. Why? It’s not obvious.

• with a little creativity, you can find an audience for free and genuinely sell them what you have to offer in return for decent money.

• make money on LinkedIn.
