You see we're linkedin profile strategists and ghostwriters.

You obviously do better design than us. When it comes to Banner, featured section etc.

you are important

But you're not $700 important.

You see we'd charge our clients $1K-$1.5K

And it's impossible for us to give you 70% of our income on 3 designs.

So if you want business:

1. Gimme better affordable prices

2. Approach the big personal branding guys like jasmin alic type of people.

Super sad to see you're charging $700 for profile design and i only get to keep $200-$300.

And not to forget I'm the one still working on the copy and content that goes on the banner.

Personal branding on LinkedIn requires telling stories before you go with MOFU and BOFU content.

It's like you have to "earn" the right to give advice first.

I fully wholeheartedly believe in this.

- I'm a single guy handling both founders and co- founders'personal brands on LinkedIn.

Guess what?

- All of my writing is scrutinized with Claude again.

- Hooks are changed.

- The images I designed for 1-2 hours aren't used

- Every post idea of mine is questioned

- Once the post idea is accepted, they can reject it during the week to ask me to work on a new idea.

When I post too much BOFU, MOFU - They say why aren't you posting TOFU we need to get numbers.

When I adjust the calendar to TOFU and storytelling, they show me MOFU content of some other creator.

This endless back n forth is causing burnout.

It's like they have to come in, scrutinise every tiny bit of the post before it gets posted.

- I know a vulnerable angle to a certain post will work cos they were legit vulnerable. Yet they edit and remove the vulnerability part from the post.

- I also suggest them to do videos, give them the EASIEST of video scripts and offer to edit as well.

Yet when the video part comes in, they somehow find it easier to scrutinise me back on a random post instead of doing the video.

damn it, I need a punching bag cos I know my expertise and it's being dumbed down.
