When to use it
B2B founders, consultants, agency owners, course creators, job-seekers, career changers.
When NOT to use it
Don't post generic motivational content — it reduces credibility with serious buyers.
How to use it
- Profile: banner that names your audience, headline that names the outcome you deliver.
- Featured section: 3 pinned wins (post, case study, lead magnet).
- About: hook → who you help → proof → CTA.
- Post 3-5x/week: stories, frameworks, case studies, lessons learned.
- Comment thoughtfully on 5-10 posts/day in your niche.
- Send personalized connection requests — never default messages.
