The roast
Alex, you’ve posted 40 times this month to convince people you can turn LinkedIn into a revenue stream, yet you have the engagement rate of an unattended funeral. It takes a special kind of failure to turn a massive follower count into a digital paperweight that only prints "seen.
About Alex
I didn't start on LinkedIn. I spent years building an audience on Twitch as a gaming creator. I understood platforms, content, and community, but I had no business to show for it. When I pivoted to LinkedIn, I had zero followers, zero clients, and zero proof. Now I've built 40,000+ followers and a six-figure business. No paid ads. No outbound cold email. No hiring. Just a system. That system is what I now teach at The Growth Innovator. But here's what most people get wrong about LinkedIn: they treat it like a content platform. Post consistently, get followers, hope clients find you. That's not a system. The LinkedIn Growth System is different. It's built on five pillars working together: → Content that positions you as the go-to expert in your category → Profile that converts visitors into inbound leads→ LinkedIn Live that builds real-time authority and community → Newsletter that nurtures and deepens trust → DMs that close conversations into clients I've coached 270+ founders through this system. The ones doing $5K–$30K/month who want to scale to six figures organically, that's exactly who it's built for. At The Growth Innovator, I run: A weekly newsletter breaking down what's actually working on LinkedIn A free community for founders building with the system A group cohort program (live, with me, implementing in real time) 1:1 private coaching for founders who want it done faster A done-for-you service for founders who want their LinkedIn run for them If you want more followers, I'm probably not your person. If you want LinkedIn to be the reason you hit your revenue goal this year, let's talk. DM me "SYSTEM" or visit alexcolhoun.com/coaching

I love Wednesday's because it's when I sit down with our Skool members for a hands-on working session / Q&A. We've had a few incredible wins this week from our fellow founders building here on LinkedIn: 1. Catherine, who just reached 290 newsletter subs and 2K followers on LinkedIn. 2. Zubia who had a recent post go to 194K impressions (insane way to go btw). 3. Cameron who just hit 1.5K followers and first booked calls for marketing agency. 4. Michelle, hasn't missed a day of posting since she joined the community (it's been over 5-6 months now). 5. Just reached 762 total members N

It took me 250 days to reach 10,000 followers and 300 LinkedIn posts. Another 250 days to reach 17,000 followers. Another 250 days to reach 25,000 followers. Another 300 days to reach 40,000 followers. The last stretch was my best yet. Growth isn't always the same throughout your journey, and that's totally normal. Nothing is perfect or predictable. Nothing is guaranteed. If I gave up the first time: 1. When things got hard. 2. When results slowed down. 3. When I got super bored... I would never have gotten to the same results I have today. There will 100% be MANY good parts while

Here's my storytelling formula that actually gets people to read your LinkedIn posts👇🏻 Storytelling ≠ sharing random life updates. If you want to actually get people to read your posts, this 3-part structure hooks your audience: Part 1) Before Show who you were or what you struggled with. Don't make this perfect. Don't sound too polished. Nobody will relate to it. Don't try to sound like you have everything "figured out". I promise you that won't help. Part 2) Journey: This is the obstacle that changed everything. What moment changed your perspective? What did you figure out
