How I Went From Zero LinkedIn Presence to 50+ Qualified Leads Per Month (And How You Can Too)

‍

I just spent 3 months distilling everything I learned about LinkedIn growth into one playbook.

And I'm giving it away for free.

Not because I'm generous. Because I wish someone had given this to me 2 years ago when I was burning $3K on ads that didn't work and spending 10 hours a week on LinkedIn with nothing to show for it.

‍

Here's what happened:

Two years ago, I was a frustrated founder with a product I believed in and zero idea how to get customers without spending money I didn't have.

I tried everything. Cold email got me marked as spam. Reddit banned me for "self-promotion." Paid ads burned through cash and generated exactly zero conversions.

Then I committed to LinkedIn. Not because I loved it, but because I was out of options.

The first 3 months were brutal. Posts with 8 likes. DMs that went unanswered. Hours of work for zero results.

But somewhere around month 4, something clicked. Posts started getting real engagement. People I'd never met were DMing me asking about my product. I closed my first customer entirely from LinkedIn.

By month 6, LinkedIn was my primary acquisition channel.

By month 12, it was responsible for 60% of our revenue.

Today? I spend 30 minutes a day on LinkedIn and it consistently generates 50+ qualified leads per month.

‍

The problem is: it took me way too long to figure out what actually works.

I wasted months on the wrong things. Optimizing for vanity metrics. Following "growth hacks" that didn't move the needle. Trying to sound professional instead of being authentic.

So I wrote down everything I learned. The frameworks that work. The mistakes to avoid. The exact templates I use. The system that turned LinkedIn from a time suck into my best acquisition channel.

‍

The result is "The Bootstrapped Founder's LinkedIn Pipeline Playbook."

It's not theory. It's not fluff. It's the exact system I use to generate pipeline without ads, agencies, or burning 20 hours a week.

‍

Here's what you'll get:

A 7-day sprint you can start today that will tell you in one week if LinkedIn can work for your SaaS. No commitment, just action.

The exact content framework I use to post 5x a week in 30 minutes. Not generic AI slop - content that sounds like you and resonates with your audience.

The engagement system that gets you 10x more visibility than posting alone. This one insight changed everything for me.

How to track intent signals so you're reaching out when people are actually ready to buy, not just spamming cold outreach.

The DM templates that get 30-40% response rates. Not 5%. Not 10%. 30-40%.

A complete swipe file of hooks, posts, comments, and outreach scripts you can adapt and use immediately.

The weekly workflow that makes this sustainable. Because if it takes 10 hours a week, you'll quit.

‍

The real metrics you should track. Not impressions or follower count - the numbers that actually drive revenue.

And honest talk about what this actually takes. Because I'm not going to lie to you and say it's easy.

‍

Who this is for:

Bootstrapped B2B founders building a SaaS or Service Business who need to generate pipeline without burning cash on ads or hiring expensive agencies.

Founders who know LinkedIn matters but don't have a system and are winging it inconsistently.

Anyone who's been posting on LinkedIn for months with minimal results and wants to know what they're doing wrong.

Founders who want to build a real acquisition channel that compounds over time, not just short-term tactics.

‍

Who this is NOT for:

If you're looking for overnight results or growth hacks, this isn't it.

If you want to outsource your LinkedIn presence to a VA or agency, you won't find that here.

If you're not willing to show up consistently for 90 days, save yourself the time.

‍

Why I'm giving this away:

Because the hard part isn't knowing what to do. It's actually doing it consistently without burning out.

I spent 6 months executing this system manually before I finally automated the grunt work. That's why we built Grow with Ghost - to make the system sustainable.

The playbook will teach you what works. Ghost makes it actually doable long-term.

But even if you never use Ghost, the playbook will help you. That's the point.

It's free. No credit card. Just your email so I can send you the PDF.

If it helps you generate even one customer from LinkedIn, it'll have been worth the read.

And if you want to make the system sustainable without spending 10 hours a week on it, that's what Ghost is for.

And if this was helpful, share it with another founder who's struggling with LinkedIn. We're all trying to figure this out.
