The LinkedIn Content Strategy That Sold Out Her New Offer To Mostly First-Time Buyers ($45K+ In 2 Weeks)
Today’s case study embraces experimentation on several fronts - new audience, new content platform, and new offer.
Seasoned online business owner and mentor to digital freelancers, Amy Posner, wanted to expand her audience beyond copywriters, so she got on LinkedIn, a platform she wasn’t active on previously, and tested a daily content strategy to build trust with a new audience of creative freelancers.
Within 6 months, Amy had attracted 708 LinkedIn followers and added 414 people to her email list - all organically. She then launched a new program to them, selling out the first round in just 2 weeks and generating over $45K in revenue - most impressive, all but one were first-time buyers in her ecosystem who had found her through LinkedIn.
This is the step by step LinkedIn content strategy that Amy plans to continue, and encourages you to borrow and test for yourself.

Is Underspending Hurting Your Business Growth? Breakdown of What This 7 Figure CEO Spends $113K Outsourcing
The media tends to portray women as over-spenders who are bad with money, causing Kickstart Accounting founder Danielle Hayden to notice that many of her new clients would come in asking “where can I cut back?”
But Danielle, who runs a 7 figure bookkeeping and accounting agency, challenges that narrative by examining where women are actually underspending in their businesses in a way that is prohibitive to reaching their goals.
In this case study, we dissect how Danielle is spending $113,223 on outsourced services for her business this year to drive growth, and why she has no desire to bring these roles in-house.
We’ll itemize every outsourced service, how much return she gets on these investments, and the process she uses to discern which roles should be hired in-house versus outsourced to an expert.

How to Host Roundtable Events That Add $884K To Your Revenue
If you’re a longtime listener, you know getting in front of borrowed traffic is our favorite audience growth strategy, and today’s case study on hosting roundtables affirms why. Women’s leadership expert and founder of Safi Media, Eleanor Beaton, has successfully hosted 14 roundtables since Q4 2021, inviting aligned speakers to join her for hot button conversations and growing her email list by 2655 highly vetted subscribers in the process.The roundtables may be free to attend, but they have collectively driven $884,000 in post-event sales from attendees.We ask Eleanor all the questions you want to know to replicate this strategy in your own business, from the logistics of promoting, inviting speakers, and facilitating roundtable conversations, to which roundtable topics drew the biggest crowds and how to best approach the post-event sales process without scaring your new leads away.View the transcript for this episode at: https://otter.ai/u/AUzgzZdRZJWN7Jrwsu956FWs-Bw?utm_source=copy_urlThank you to our sponsors!
