LinkedIn reach is down ~80%, AI content is everywhere, and most agency owners are posting into the void. So how did Charlie Hills go from posts dying at 400 impressions to 200,000+ followers and a client pipeline in just over a year?


In this episode we break down the exact system โ€” the profile setup, the content strategy, and the full library of AI prompts Charlie uses with Claude and Gemini to create high-performing LinkedIn content without sounding robotic.


You'll learn why "how I did it" beats "how to," the 70/20/10 content split that drives both growth and revenue, and how to engineer hooks, carousels, and infographics that actually stop the scroll. Whether you're an agency owner, founder, or solo creator trying to turn LinkedIn into a lead machine, this is the playbook.


What Youโ€™ll Learn in This Episode:

โœ… Post as much as is sustainable early on to gather data, then double down on what works

โœ… Storytelling and a specific point of view beat generic "top 10 tips" content in the AI era

โœ… Your profile is a landing page, not a CV โ€” optimize the headline, banner, About, and Feature sections to convert

โœ… Content is the engine of your pipeline: it generates intent signals from your ideal clients

โœ… AI does the heavy lifting, but the ideas, perspective, and judgment have to come from you

โœ… It's a long game โ€” expect 3 to 6 months before real traction
