In today's episode, I chat with Stijn Verhagen, founder at Course Launcher, about a very specific niche: established LinkedIn personal brands with B2B offers—agency owners, coaches, consultants—who already have attention but aren't converting it into revenue because their content, DMs, and conversion systems aren't working together. We explore his content-chats-conversions flywheel and a recent client story that says it all: a creator with 50,000 followers who already had most of the pieces in place but not aligned—once Stijn synchronized content, DM strategy, and funnels, the client did $27,500 in the first 24 hours and booked 90 sales calls in three weeks. The car needed four wheels pointing the same direction, not three. His prediction for LinkedIn: the platform is splitting into two camps—fully human and authentic (voice notes, personal stories, offline connection) versus fully AI-automated—and because LinkedIn is connection-driven rather than follower-driven like Instagram, he suspects the human camp will win there. Stijn shares his journey from a 14-year-old making $1-2 per Photoshop design for gaming teams on Twitter during a sleepover, to marketing studies, to building landing pages and ads, to posting on LinkedIn at 20 and discovering that the same creative instinct that made him design Twitter banners could generate real revenue if pointed at the right system—now running a five-person team growing month over month with 3,000 enriched LinkedIn posts and hundreds of lead magnets stored in a vector database. His advice by follower tier: zero followers, do free work first and tie it to a specific result; 1K-3K followers, give away scalable assets but always attach a concrete outcome to them; 10K+ followers, build the backend CRM scoring system and start reaching out based on intent.
