How I turn 1 podcast into 12 LinkedIn posts in 30 minutes:
1. Drop the transcript into Claude
2. Prompt: pull every standalone idea longer than 30 seconds
3. Get back 15-20 raw ideas
4. Cut the 8 weakest
5. Edit the rest in your voice
Founder-led copy beats committee copy.
The fastest way to test it:
Read your homepage out loud to a friend.
If they ask "wait what does that mean," the page is failing them.
Rewrite until they don't ask.
Strong hook structures that actually work:
"How I [did specific thing]"
"If you [specific scenario], here's what helped"
"When I [made specific call], the result was [number]"
"I've [done thing X times]. Here's what changed"
Content pillar system in plain English:
3 topics you'll be known for
3 angles per topic (story, framework, contrarian take)
9 post types you can rotate forever
LinkedIn/X gets you reach.
Email gets you conversations.
If you have a brand and no newsletter, you're letting your warmest audience cool off in someone else's algorithm.
A 5-minute brand audit you can run today:
Read your last 10 posts
Cover the name and headshot
Ask: could this be anyone else in your category
If yes, you have a content account. Not a brand.
