In 2025, Personal brands are outperforming company brands by 10x. Because people no longer buy from companies… They buy from creators they trust. After ghostwriting for many founders and creators this year, I’ve seen this shift up close. The most profitable companies I’ve worked with? All built trust through their founder’s name before pushing their company brand. Here’s why personal > company in 2025 👇 ✅ 1. Algorithms reward humans. LinkedIn, X, TikTok — all push authentic, human-led content higher in the feed. ✅ 2. People connect with stories, not slogans. A founder sharing lessons > a company posting updates. ✅ 3. Faces build faster trust than logos. It’s easier to relate to a person who speaks, struggles, and grows — not a faceless brand page. ✅ 4. Founder-led brands convert better. A post from the CEO gets 5–10x more engagement than a corporate announcement. ✅ 5. Authenticity drives retention. People stick around for who you are, not what you sell. Your personal brand is the new marketing funnel. It attracts attention, builds trust, and drives sales — faster than any ad ever could. Your name is the brand people believe in. Your face is the logo people trust. Who’s one founder-led personal brand you think outshines their company? 👇 🚀 Follow me for more breakdowns on LinkedIn growth, content strategy, and personal branding in 2025.

The Commenting Strategy That Got Me 1,000+ Profile Visits (Without Posting Anything) Most people underestimate comments. They think: “If I post more, I’ll grow more.” But here’s the truth — You can grow faster by commenting than by posting. I left 10 thoughtful comments per day. Here’s what happened 👇 - Profile visits ↑ 400% - Connection requests ↑ 180% - DMs from potential clients ↑ 3x All without posting a single thing. Here’s the exact commenting strategy I use (and teach my clients): 1️⃣ Choose the right creators Engage with 5–10 people who already attract your ideal audience. Their followers are your potential clients. 2️⃣ Be early Comment within 30 minutes of their post going live. You’ll ride their engagement wave. 3️⃣ Add value, not noise Forget “Great post!” Share a short story, insight, or opinion that adds depth. Be noticed for your brain, not your emojis. 4️⃣ Engage with other commenters Reply to 2–3 people under the same post. That’s how you build micro-visibility loops. 5️⃣ Stay consistent 10–15 meaningful comments a day > 1 average post. 💡 The mindset shift: Don’t comment to support. Comment to get remembered. 💬 What’s your personal rule for writing comments that actually stand out on LinkedIn?

The best ad is the one that doesn’t even try to look like an ad. Because the moment it feels like an ad, people scroll past it. Think about it— People don’t open LinkedIn, Instagram, or YouTube to get sold. They open it to get inspired, entertained, or educated. And if your ad blends into that purpose, it wins. Here’s what makes an ad feel less like an ad (and more like content people actually want): Storytelling > Selling → Stories create emotional connection. Products don’t. Education > Promotion → Teach, solve, or share insights before asking for attention. Relatability > Perfection → Authentic > over-polished. Real > staged. Conversation > Broadcast → Ads that spark dialogue get remembered, not just seen. The secret? Ads that don’t look like ads are the ones people share, save, and trust. They don’t interrupt the experience. They become part of it. 👉 If you’re running ads right now, ask yourself: “Would I stop to read this if it wasn’t labeled as an ad?” If the answer is no—time to rethink. 💡 I help brands create campaigns that feel natural, relatable, and impossible to ignore.

Your customers don’t care about your product; they care about what it can do for them. When you tell a clear story where the customer is the hero and your brand is the guide, you remove confusion and create a path that feels effortless and compelling.

Building a strong online presence isn’t just about looking good, it’s about creating meaningful connections through thoughtful design and clear messaging.
