Master LinkedIn With Comment-Led Growth, Without Even Posting
Master LinkedIn with comment-led growth, without even posting The comment section of LinkedIn posts have become a wasteland of AI-generated platitudes. They look terrible, they add zero value, and LinkedIn probably should do something about it. But within that mess lies your opportunity. People on LinkedIn are craving realness. When everyone else is writing "Great post! [Insert cheesy line that repeats the sentiment in a new way]Their bad comments make your good ones look even better. Like a handwritten note in a pile of junk mail. Now, you just have to show up and comment. Most business owners spray generic responses across the platform, hoping something sticks. But your dream clients want depth, insight, and genuine engagement. Not volume. Master strategic commenting and transform from just another notification into someone they remember, respect, and eventually buy from. While everyone else fights the algorithm, you're building relationships one meaningful interaction at a time. Grow by leaving awesome LinkedIn comments Your commenting strategy needs a theme. And the theme stems from your beliefs. Specifically, those that your dream customers share, even if they don't realise. First up, identify your strongest beliefs. You're going to use your comments to mirror their beliefs back to them. When you comment on someone else's post, your comment has a chance of appearing on the feeds of your followers. So they need to see that you are their sort of person. Think about the core truths that drive your business. Maybe you believe that automation without personalization kills brands. Perhaps you're convinced that most marketing advice ignores human psychology. Whatever your stance, make it clear and consistent. Your comments become mini-manifestos that attract the right people while repelling those who'll never understand your value. Don't waste your comments. Only comment on the posts of people who match your dream customer or who also serve your dream customer. Most of LinkedIn is people who will never buy from you. You need to be intentional and targeted to make this work. Create a spreadsheet with 50 names. For additional detail, include their typical posting times, the topics they care about, and what kind of comments get the most engagement on their posts. Show up consistently in the right conversations to become a familiar face in your ideal client's world. They start recognizing your name, appreciating your insights, and looking forward to your perspective. And if your profile is optimised, they'll know what you do. Strategic commenting can lead to five-figure contracts without cold pitching. Just consistent, valuable presence in the right places. Your energy comes through in every word you type. Listen to your favorite hype music when you comment. Take some deep breaths. Stretch. Be ready to spread good vibes. When you feel energized and engaged, you write better comments that spark conversations. Set a timer for 20 minutes and treat commenting like a focused work session. No email tabs open. No Slack notifications. Just you, LinkedIn, and the intention to add value. When you comment from this state, you naturally write responses that feel generous rather than grabby. People sense the difference. They respond more openly, engage more deeply, and remember you as someone who brings positive energy to their posts. Think about the comments that make you smile versus the ones that feel like someone's fishing for attention. Be the former. Every single time. When you comment on someone's post, DM them as well. Become even more familiar to them. It doesn't need to be complicated. It doesn't need to be a lengthy message. Let them know they are doing great. Let them know you are cheering for them. A simple "Your post about client boundaries really resonated. I've been thinking about this all morning" goes further than a pitch. The magic happens when someone sees your thoughtful comment publicly, then gets a warm DM privately. You've just created two touchpoints that reinforce each other. They're far more likely to check out your profile, read your content, and remember who you are. Business owners keep mental lists of people who consistently support their content. When they need services those supporters offer, they become the first call. Your commenting strategy needs constant evolution. Revisit your list monthly. Notice whose content no longer aligns with your message. Add new voices who've caught your attention. Pay attention to which comments spark conversations versus which ones get ignored. Are you adding unique perspectives or echoing what others already said? If I covered up your name on your comments, would people still know it's you? Track your results without obsessing over vanity metrics. Maybe you notice that your comments on posts about leadership challenges always start conversations, while your responses to motivational quotes don't. Use these insights to adapt your approach. When you comment strategically for six months, you'll have built a network of people who know, like, and trust you without ever feeling sold to. Play the long game: grow your LinkedIn with comments Use comment-led growth to become indispensable to the right people over time. While others chase viral posts and algorithm hacks, you're building relationships that turn into revenue. Share your beliefs. Get intentional and show up meaningfully, stacking touchpoints in the DMs. Go from random LinkedIn connections to a community of people keen to work with you. Your next big client is probably posting right now. Go find them.

5 ChatGPT Prompts To Get Your Dream Clients Begging To Work With You
5 ChatGPT prompts to get your dream clients begging to work with you Qualified leads flooding your inbox every morning. Not just any leads. Dream clients who already want what you sell. Most people follow up prospects and beg for attention. But not you. Sound dreamy? It's possible. With the right moves, you can have clients chase you instead of you chasing them. Flip the script and start choosing who you work with. Get ChatGPT to help. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through. Use ChatGPT to become irresistible to your dream clients (without chasing) Your time is precious. Following up wastes it. People who ghost you are stealing your energy and you need to take it back. Send them one final email that puts the power back in your hands. Tell them you're closing their file unless they respond by Friday. Keep it casual but firm. You have other options. Watch what happens when you stop chasing and start choosing. "Based on what you know about my business and communication style, create a professional yet casual email template for prospects who have gone silent. The email should politely inform them I'm closing their account/inquiry unless they respond within [specific timeframe] People want control over their buying journey. I discovered this when I emailed my mailing list asking what would help them sign up. Three options: a live demo, a 2-hour bootcamp, or done-with-you support. All they had to do was reply with their choice. That simple act of choosing created psychological commitment. Everyone who picked the bootcamp actually signed up when we offered it. Our most successful launch came from letting people choose their own adventure. "Based on what you know about my ideal clients and their typical objections or hesitations, create an email template that offers 3 distinct ways they can learn more about working with me. Each option should require different time commitments and appeal to different learning styles. The email should ask them to simply reply with their preference. Make it conversational and easy to respond to. Ask for more detail if required." Robert Cialdini nailed it in his book Influence. Give first. People feel compelled to give back. Find something valuable you can share with zero strings attached. A PDF guide, a video walkthrough, an insider tip they can use immediately. Stop playing small and 10x your reality by sharing freely without requiring opt-ins or forms. Just give. The karma you create comes back multiplied. "Based on what you know about my expertise and the problems my ideal clients face, suggest 5 valuable lead magnet resources I could create and give away with no strings attached. Each should solve a specific problem my prospects face. Then create an ultra-casual email template for sending one of these resources without any signup requirements - just a direct link. The tone should be helpful and generous, not salesy. Ask for more detail if required." Scarcity works when you mean it. Limited spots, expiring bonuses, or calendar constraints create natural urgency without lying. But fake deadlines destroy trust fast. Look at your actual capacity and communicate genuine limitations. Your honesty becomes the urgency. People respect boundaries. They move faster when they know the opportunity really will disappear. "Based on what you know about my business model and capacity, identify 3 genuine scarcity factors I could communicate to prospects. These should be real limitations, not manufactured urgency. Then create messaging that communicates these constraints honestly while encouraging action. The tone should be matter-of-fact, not pushy. Ask for more detail if required." Friction kills conversions. Every extra step loses prospects. Make running your business feel like a video game by stripping your onboarding process down to essentials. One form. One call. One decision. Remove every barrier between interest and action. The easier you make it, the more ideal clients say yes. Stop making people work to give you money. "Based on what you know about my client onboarding process, identify unnecessary friction points that might stop dream clients from saying yes. Then create a streamlined 3-step process that makes it ridiculously easy to get started. Include specific language for each step that reduces anxiety and builds excitement about working together. Ask for more detail if required." Dream clients are waiting to find you Your inbox can overflow with perfect-fit prospects who already want what you offer. Reclaim your power from time wasters. Give options to create psychological commitment before they buy. Build reciprocity without strings. Introduce authentic urgency and frictionless onboarding to seal the deal. You have everything you need to flip the script on client acquisition. Respect both your time and theirs. Your dream clients are waiting for someone exactly like you.
