When to use it
Start now — even with zero followers. The compound timeline is 12-24 months.
When NOT to use it
Don't post for vanity. Post for the ONE customer you want to attract.
How to use it
- Pick ONE platform where your ICP lives (LinkedIn for B2B, YouTube for evergreen, X for tech).
- Publish 1-2 strong-opinion posts/week with concrete examples.
- Add a free lead magnet (audit, template, mini-course).
- Offer a free 15-min consult (qualifies hard).
- Convert with packaged offers — never custom on first conversation.
Examples
Pipeline math
1,000 right followers > 100k random ones. Quality of audience > size.
Conversion
Audience → Lead magnet → Consult → Package. Each step filters.
