Writers Need LinkedIn, Not ChatGPT (How I Monetize Ethically with Zero Effort)

LinkedIn is 1000% perfect for writers who write.

Ready to have time to build your personal brand? Start here.

I’m that kid. Are you like me? Your sibling slaps you. You return the attention with your palm. The exchange goes on like a 3-minute ad. When mom walks in, you get caught. Yet, you didn’t start the feud.

That’s ChatGPT for you.

It got all the attention despite not being the one to start it all.

  • Gut punch — writers think LinkedIn can’t compare to TikTok or Instagram.
  • Gut punch — writers think LinkedIn is for 9–5 employees.
  • Gut punch — writers think LinkedIn is a cringe-fest.

You’re not like Jenna Kutcher or Marie Forleo. They view social media as an open gallery book. Here’s how I understand Marie and Jenna’s approach to content after 1000 hours of study. “I’ve told you about my beliefs via books. Now, watch me live my truth with video & photo life highlights.” This system terrifies 98% of writers. Dan Koe writes like a madman. And even Dan prefers to be faceless sharing his tweets on Instagram.

Most writers aren’t video lovers. Not even camera likers, even a tiny bit. But the social apps focused on writing don’t have us present on the register.

Let’s change this.

Here’s why it helps. And why I picked LinkedIn.

1/ Tap out of your usual cringe.

Pat Wills launched the blog site Starter Story in 2017.

Why? Humans are success addicts. Thousands will talk themselves out of execution. To spend hours reading stories about wealthy people to discover money secrets. Weird. But that’s not the juiciest part.

Pat Wills’ calendar is empty as desert plains. Still!

His business generates $1 million per year.

How? Buyer quality.

Pat interviews people with $10,000 as 1% of their income. His days feature freedom with confined to 1–4 hours per day.

Writers assume it’s such a flex to avoid influencer hubs. But asking for a 2–3 coffee is also cringe (depending on who you ask). Denning has also said so. What happens if you switch to a place with high-income earners? The goals won’t be tsunami-sized quantity output. It will revert to high-quality production. Then you layer it with a greater focus on customer service.

So, what is the first goal? Take your quality posts to the screens of high-income earners via posting on LinkedIn.

2/ Tap into zero effort high ticket client building

The “writers who write” in the subheading is the crowing detail. If you write here or on your blog, chances are your articles are 500–1000 words.

Your posts are a buffet perfect for reserving on LinkedIn. Let’s put this plan into play. Sam Browne only publishes carousels on LinkedIn. Each is a hefty article framed as slides.

Steps

  • Search Sam Browne to see what’s possible.
  • Head over to Canva.
  • Choose 1080 width and 1350 height
  • First-page: hooking title & image
  • ****Following pages:
  • (1) lead with subheadings
  • (2) next is a paragraph summary
  • ***Ending pages
  • (a) who you are mini bio.
  • (b) work-with-me mention
  • ©offer your previously published carousels for free via Gumroad
  • ***Posting:
  • (1) Read for errors & to further shorten sentences
  • (2) Download this creation as a PDF
  • Upload to LinkedIn by selecting the document attachment option.

Congrats, you’re done!

Simplify doing.

How to keep it simple.

  • Information > Lengthy document
  • Paragraph main points > Copy + Paste
  • Solid background color + simple font > Trying to be a designer
  • Name in the corner of each slide > Fuss over logo creation

Strategy

Call-to-action ending page explanation.

  • (a) Who you are mini-bio. Reminds people of why you’re the experts. Plus, it eliminates the need to revisit your LinkedIn page to read your career summary.
  • (b) Work-with-me mention. Invites people to work with you, which is perfect as you just proved you’ve got skills and can help them.
  • © Gumroad library mention. (1) Lowers the need for people to scroll to find your previous best carousels. (2) Warms people up to buying from you. Even if they don’t opt to spend $, they become more open to doing transactions with you. (3) You can add paid upsells to your Gumroad freebies, to generate passive income.

3/ Best Kept LinkedIn Secret Feature

→LinkedIn SmartLink

Like Amazon, writers love sending packages. “Here’s an embedded link to the page. Or click the attached document.”

Pause.

There’s a better way.

Opt for LinkedIn SmartLinks it is an underrated sales helper. With this tool, you can:

Gains:

  • Know much time viewers spend reading.
