The Founder Who Sounded Like Everyone Else He had been posting for eight months. Quality content. Consistent. Well researched. Every post landed efficiently and disappeared by the next morning. Everyone had just moved on. He knew something was off. He couldn't put a finger on it. Every post said the same thing in the correct way. The formula was unimpeachable. It was professional, credible, understated, confident. It was straight out of an industry-expert manual — that was the problem. The conversation that changed everything was shockingly simple. He said something offhand in frustration during an unguarded moment. This was nowhere in the outline or the brief. Just something raw and vulnerable slipping through the cracks. That one sentence captured his entire point of view. Everything he had been thinking, writing about, but never tackling head-on. What happened when he wrote from that space. The next post didn't perform instantly. But it felt different to write — lighter, more present. And the responses changed — not likes, but people saying, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭. The content stopped becoming perfect and started being his own. Why most founders will never get this. They optimize for credibility instead of cultivating their presence. They write for an imagined audience instead of from an actual experience. The professional version keeps getting in the way. And the professional version of anyone sounds the same as everyone else. The content was not the problem. The problem was he was writing as the professional he thought he should be. Not the founder he 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 was. The audience 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 that. One conversation changed that. If you need your writing to sound like you — only sharper — my DMs are open. #Founders #PersonalBrand #Ghostwriting #ContentStrategy #Writing

From, "delete the post" to "this is the type of content I was looking for." What changed? I stopped trying to make the post sound good and started making it sound true. True to my client's voice, that is. This involved paying attention to: ~How my client speaks, ~The words he lean on. ~The way he explains things. ~What he would never say. I filtered every draft through that. Now, the feedbacks are different. Honestly? That shift mattered. People don’t connect first with polished content. They first connect with what feels real, authentic and true to your voice. The lesson? If you’re writing for someone and it keeps missing, it’s not a writing problem, Sharon. It’s a listening problem.

Stop writing better posts. Start writing better first lines. Because if your first 2 lines fail… Nothing else matters. People don’t read posts. They decide whether to read. Try this: Instead of: “We launched a feature…” Say: “Most tools get this wrong…” Small shift. Big difference. #HookWriting #FirstImpressionMatters #ContentHooks #CreatorTips #LinkedInGrowth #AudienceEngagement #WriteBetter #ContentPsychology #ScrollStopping #ContentFramework

Most captions get ignored. Not because the topic is boring. Because the first line didn't make people stop. Here's a simple 3-part formula that fixes that Hook → Story → CTA Save this. You'll need it. 1. Start with a Hook The hook is your first line. It's the ONLY job is to make someone stop scrolling. Think of it like the cover of a book. If the cover is boring, nobody opens it. Try hooks like: * "Nobody talks about this but..." *"I made a mistake that cost me 3 months." * "Stop writing captions like this." One line. Make it land. 2. Tell a Story Now that they stopped, keep them reading. Don't lecture. Don't list 50 facts. Just talk like you're telling a friend something interesting. Keep it simple. Keep it real. A good story does 3 things: *Makes them feel something *Teaches them something *Makes them trust you Even 3 sentences can be a story. You don't need to write a book. 3. End with a CTA CTA means tell them what to do next. Most people finish reading and just scroll away. Because nobody told them to do anything. Don't let that happen. Try: * "Save this for later." *"Tag someone who needs this." * "Drop a comment — yes or no?" One clear ask. That's it. Here's the whole formula one more time: Hook — Stop the scroll Story — Keep them reading CTA — Tell them what to do Every great caption you've ever read follows this formula. Now you have it too. Save this for later,next time you sit down to write a caption, come back to this post. It'll take you from blank page to done in minutes. #ContentWriting #CaptionTips #SocialMediaTips #ContentStrategy #LinkedInTips #PersonalBrand #WritingTips

A lot of the “content advice” floating around LinkedIn doesn’t even fit the way serious ghostwriters actually work. “Post every day.” “Document your whole life.” “Turn every thought into content.” “Be everywhere.” Most of that advice was not built for people whose actual work happens behind the scenes. A ghostwriter who works with founders spends most of their time: thinking, researching, extracting ideas, understanding positioning, and turning complex thinking into something clear. That kind of work does not always produce five posts a week. But there’s still one thing I think is non-negotiable: Consistency. Because if you’re telling founders: “Your thinking should be public.” And: “Visibility compounds into authority.” Then disappearing for weeks at a time weakens the argument. For ghostwriters, posting is not just marketing. It’s proof. Proof you can think clearly. Proof you understand positioning. Proof you can create resonance without sounding manufactured. And honestly, your public writing is one of the only visible examples of your work. Because founders are not just hiring (good) writing anymore. They’re paying attention to whether the writer understands visibility firsthand. Everything else is invisible by design. Use it. #Ghostwriting #FounderBrand #ThoughtLeadership #LinkedInCreators #PersonalBranding

"Good writing informs. Great writing makes people act." That’s the biggest lesson I took from Weeks 3 and 4 of my learning journey with IGLE_SPACE. In Week 3, we focused on content writing and understood that writing is not just about putting words together. It’s about informing, educating, and adding value. Then Week 4 introduced me to copywriting, and it completely shifted my mindset. I realized that great writing goes beyond information. It persuades. It connects. It influences decisions. One thing that really stayed with me is this: every piece of copy should have a clear goal and to move the reader to take action. Now, whenever I write, I ask myself: • Does it grab attention? • Does it spark curiosity? • Does it clearly show the benefit? • Does it tell the reader what to do next? Writing now feels more intentional and more purposeful. Thanks to our facilitors Leticia Aboah-Asare and Joseph Budu for the impact.

This is what “one good post” looks like. Not the final version you see. This. A pile of: – drafts that didn’t land – hooks that sounded better in your head – sentences you rewrote 12 times – ideas that almost worked… but not quite We scroll past polished content and think: “Wow, they’re so consistent.” But consistency doesn’t look like discipline while you’re in it. It looks like doubt. It looks like deleting. It looks like starting again… for the 5th time. Because good writing isn’t about getting it right the first time. It’s about staying long enough to get to the version that finally clicks. So if your work feels messy right now… Good. You’re closer than you think. #ContentWriting #CreativeProcess #LinkedInCreators #WritingLife #Consistency #Marketing #WritersOfLinkedIn

But 99% of them stop after 3 posts. 🛑 The reason? "I just don't know what to write about every day." You don't need a 10-man content team or 4 hours a day to build authority. You just need a system. Here is the exact 3-step framework I use to help executives turn their daily operations into high-performing content: 1. Document, Don't Create 📝 Stop trying to write the next philosophical masterpiece. Look at your calendar from last week: What was the toughest client objection you handled? What bottleneck did your product team solve? What is one mistake you made that cost you time/money? Your daily chaos is your content goldmine. 2. The "One Specific Person" Rule 🎯 If you try to speak to everyone, you speak to no one. Write your post like you are sending a message to your ideal client or a fellow founder. Use their language, address their exact pain points, and ditch the corporate jargon. 3. The 1-Hour Batch System ⏳ Block just 60 minutes on Sunday. Write 3 solid, high-value posts for the week. Once the system is running, consistency becomes effortless. Building authority isn't about being a professional writer. It’s about being an active practitioner who isn't afraid to share the journey. Founders, what is your current process for creating content? Do you write on the fly, or do you batch your content? 👇 #ContentStrategy #ThoughtLeadership #PersonalBranding #FoundersLife #LinkedInGrowth #ContentCreation #ExecutivePresence

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂. The problem is rarely the writers. It is the absence of a clear standard for what the brand actually sounds like. A lot of founders know their voice intuitively. They know when something sounds off. They just cannot always articulate why, which means every piece of content becomes a guessing game for whoever is writing it. The brands that sound consistent are not necessarily working with better writers. They have done the work of getting specific about their personality on the page. Not vague adjectives like "authentic" or "innovative" but actual examples. Here is a sentence we would write. Here is one we would never write. Here is how we talk about this topic. Here is what we avoid. That level of specificity is what separates a brand that sounds like one person from a brand that sounds like a committee. Most founders do not have time to build that out themselves, and even when they try, it is hard to be objective about your own voice. You are too close to it. Getting an outside person to listen, observe, and codify what makes your voice yours is one of the most underrated investments a personal brand can make. Once it exists, everything else gets easier to write, review, and delegate. If your content feels inconsistent and you are not sure why, that is usually where the answer lives. If this resonates, feel free to connect or send me a message. #contentmarketing #linkedinstrategy #thoughtleadership #contentstrategy #ghostwriting #contentwriting #leadmagnet #contentcreation #writerlife #writingcommunity

Not something new, but something that feels… missing. The craft. There was a time when writing, and more broadly, communication, had a different pace. You could take a moment to choose the right word, adjust a sentence, sit with the tone until it felt exactly right. Now everything moves faster. And I understand why. Deadlines are tighter, expectations are higher, and scalability is part of the game. But in all this speed, nuance sometimes gets left behind. That subtle difference between a sentence that works and one that actually resonates. The kind of detail most people won’t point out, but will still feel. I don’t think the craft disappeared completely. It just became quieter, almost secondary. And maybe the real challenge today isn’t choosing between speed and quality, but remembering that a bit more care can still make something stand out. #writing #communication #contentcreation #marketing #craft #quality
