How Chris Williamson hit 1M LinkedIn views


Chris Williamson is one of the most famous people on the internet.

It took me four years to convince him to post on LinkedIn.

Four. Years.

Well, it's finally happened: with:

✅ 1,000,000 impressions in 30 days

✅ Multiple posts over 100K views

✅ +6,000 new followers (+20%)

With so much content to choose from, we built a strategy designed to make noise.

Start posting quietly?

That would’ve been a missed opportunity.

Instead, we opened with this line - fitting for the world’s most professional platform:

“Hello LinkedIn - daddy’s home.”

On a feed full of polished formatting and productivity tips, sometimes the best move is to zag when everyone else zigs.

It was also GREAT timing to work closely with Neutonic - caffeine for this launch has been very helpful 😅

Other highlights from last week include:

  • Speaking with the founder of Grenade Alan Barratt about brand building and LinkedIn
  • Launching a new podcast for a VC in Miami

Every week moves fast, and I’m sharing everything I learn directly in my community so you can benefit too.

If 365 days of access, accountability, and growth sound good to you.

In our last live cohort, 95% of the group said they wanted to grow their personal brand for leads. So, how many do you think tracked if this was happening? Zero. Not one person. To distill marketing funnels down into just two steps, you need to: Send traffic to what you're selling (marketing) Convert that traffic (sales) Yesterday, I received a WhatsApp from a founder friend who has a high-ticket consulting offer.

"Organic reach on LinkedIn is down 65%." I'm getting a lot of DMs from people worried about their business and I want to help. If your business depends on leads from LinkedIn, a lack of visibility can be a huge problem. I'm here to say don't worry. Despite some algorithm changes, the fundamental ways LinkedIn works is still the same. Great content is still getting great results. In my opinion, the bar has just got higher where "bad" content no longer gets inflated engagement. In Personal...
