One question I get a lot is, "How do I grow my LinkedIn newsletter?" Other than creating content so good that people want to share it with their network, the answer has surprisingly little to do directly iwth LinkedIn newsletters. LinkedIn newsletters are a great way for you to reach the connections and followers you already have. LinkedIn short videos (as well as polls, images, text posts, etc.,) on the feed are great to get you new connections and followers. Think of it like this: Newsletter = Depth Feed content = Reach The key is to use your feed as a magnet: - Post short-form content - Create eye-catching images - Use polls to boost engagement Because when new people click on your profile, LinkedIn will send them a notification to subscribe to your newsletter. The more you get more new people (who are the right people for your LinkedIn Strategy) to your profile, the higher the chance they click subscribe when they see that notification to subscribe to your newsletter. Why? Because the title of your newsletter should speak to them as well (which is why the title is not just important for initial subscribers but also for future ones). But all of this is not possible without the right messaging in your feed content. There are resources in the comments that will help you start to master your messaging. - Growth Academy

Without this you can’t succeed with your course business Most people skip this step… …but without it, your info product will fail. Because creating a successful info product starts with a solid foundation… …and that foundation is your SRP (Student Result Process). The SRP outlines the exact process your students need to follow to achieve the desired outcome of your course. Here’s how to draft your SRP in a few simple steps: 1. Identify Your Expertise and the Problem You Solve — Clearly define the area where you excel. — Pinpoint the exact problem your course will solve for your target audience. 2. Formulate the Desired Student Result — Ask yourself: What transformation you want your students achieve by the end of your course? — Ensure the result is both impactful and achievable. 3. Propose a Realistic Timeframe — Determine how long it will take for students to reach the desired outcome. — Be realistic yet motivating with the timeframe. 4. Craft Your VPH (Value Proposition Headline) MORE IN TOMORROW’S POST! — Create a compelling headline that captures the essence of your course and the result it delivers. — This headline should instantly resonate with your target audience. 5. Name Your Course — Choose a name that reflects the course’s focus and the transformation it provides. — Ensure it’s memorable and aligned with your VPH. 6. Outline the Course Format — Decide how your content will be delivered: pre-recorded lessons, live group sessions, community chats, or 1:1 coaching. — Choose a format that best supports your students’ learning journey. 7. Plan the Next Steps in the Journey — Think about what comes next after students achieve their initial goal. — This could be a higher-level course, private consulting, or advanced systems. 8. Additional tip is in the comments! Your SRP is the roadmap to your course’s success. It’s the key to ensuring your students not only start but complete your course with the results they desire.

"I don’t have experience with this," I admitted Feeling nervous and anxious. But her response shifted my entire perspective. "Experience is good, but being ready to learn and Easy to work with is a game-changer," she said, Giving me a reassuring smile. This comment turned my hesitation into motivation. She went ahead and introduced the new task: Creating landing pages She shared some tutorials with me to get started. I knew this was my opportunity to learn, So I took it a step further, spending extra time watching YouTube tutorials and diving into online guides. I wanted to not only complete the task But to deliver something she would be truly happy with. After hours of learning and experimenting, I finally delivered my first landing page yesterday. Her feedback 👇 "𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴" It is a small win, but it feels huge. Sometimes all it takes to succeed is the willingness to say, “𝘐’𝘮 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯.” P.S.

Biggest meeting of your career. Huge book. You’re prepped, ready to go and log on five minutes early. It’s a long shot, but that’s fine, you love long shots. Three pointers are your jam, and you’re ready to hear nothing but net.      Until you hear nothing but crickets.     They reached out to you to set up the meeting.      It’s in the calendar. Confirmed on email.      And yet they are not there. Crickets are on the meeting. Ten minutes in and you send an email, a gentle one, a just-checking-in one.      Nada. Nothing. Niente. Well now, this is fun. Next day, you send a follow up email. By the day after, you’re genuinely worried that they got hit by a Mack truck while running across the road to get to your meeting.      Nope. Still nothing.    It happens to us all folks. And before you get all blamey, and frustratey, just remember that you don't know what's happening in their life. Don't assume the worst. Assume the best. Easy-come, easy-go is the only way to deal with it. Pivot, like a nimble trail runner and just look to the next opportunity.      Recrimination, rumination, the rems of life don’t add anything. Just move on, move up, and trust the universe. Sometimes things happen for reasons that we can’t see.      Turns out something did happen. All is okay. Meeting rescheduled. See? Look at that for trusting the universe and remaining positive. That's the ineffable magic of seeing things in the best possible way.    — I’m Poppie Johnson.
