Focusing on creating effective LinkedIn content can significantly enhance your reach, as I discovered while putting my own advice into practice. Speaking from Odense, Denmark, I share insights on setting up a LinkedIn Live for your business and how to repurpose that content into months of engaging material.

After realizing that my diverse posts about travel and speaking were confusing the algorithm, I refocused my content to align with what my audience actually follows me for—using LinkedIn for business.

By utilizing AI for research and crafting a focused eight-page carousel post, I saw impressive results, including nearly 3,000 impressions and new followers. This episode emphasizes the importance of a targeted content strategy and maintaining a human touch while building your online presence.
Takeaways:
Focusing your LinkedIn content on your core business offerings is crucial for boosting reach.
Utilising AI tools like Claude AI can streamline your content creation and sourcing process.
Engagement pods can harm your LinkedIn reach by creating inauthentic interaction patterns.
Creating visually appealing carousels can enhance engagement and visibility on LinkedIn posts.

This week's episode is a little different — consider it your personal invitation to something exciting happening next week.
I'm recording this from a hotel room in Lisbon, Portugal, where I can see the sea from my window. I flew in after delivering a three-hour workshop in Belfast, hopped on a bus to Dublin Airport, and arrived last night. Today a conference begins, and tomorrow I'm speaking about LinkedIn to a room of 160 executive assistants from across the globe.
And that's exactly why I wanted to record this episode — because what's happening in my week is a perfect example of what next week's free two-day online summit is all about: raising your visibility so you get booked for workshops, invited to speak on international stages, and approached for profile pieces and collaborations.
Raise Your Visibility Live: The Expert Sessions is happening on Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th May, and it's completely free to attend live.
Here's who's speaking:
Jerry Potter — How to grow a lead-generating YouTube channel in just 90 minutes a week
Teresa Heath-Wareing — How to borrow other people's audiences to grow your reach and build trust faster
Julie Fry (CEO, Your Expert Guest) — How to pitch and get booked on podcasts yourself
Cliff Ravenscraft — How to create a standalone short podcast that drives leads into your business long-term
Erika Stanley — AI in action: how to use AI properly in your business (her session at Social Media Marketing World was so popular they had to close the doors)

Catherine Erdly (Forbes writer, Canva Ambassador) — Building authority through high-profile collaborations and trusted platforms
Gabrielle Gweneth — How to move your brand from accomplished to iconic

What is happening with LinkedIn - new updates on booking consultations directly, how the AI reads the meaning of your content, ChatGPT integrating into spreadsheets and tracking your AI referrals! All the new stuff happening this week...

What we cover:
🔵 LinkedIn Advice Sessions — LinkedIn now lets Premium Business subscribers offer paid one-to-one video consultations directly from their profile. No Calendly. No Stripe. No Zoom link. What this means for consultants and coaches.
🔵 The LinkedIn Algorithm Has Changed — LinkedIn now uses AI to understand what your content means, not just how many likes it gets. What you need to change about how you write posts.
🔵 ChatGPT Is Now Inside Your Spreadsheets — OpenAI rolled out ChatGPT for Excel and Google Sheets this week. Here's whether it's worth your time.
🔵 AI Traffic Is Now Trackable in Google Analytics — Google quietly added a new channel that shows you how much traffic ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are sending to your website. How to check it today.
The 3 big patterns this week:
LinkedIn is becoming an all-in-one business platform — is your profile set up like a business or a CV?
The algorithm now rewards authority and consistency over activity and volume
AI has moved from tool to infrastructure — the gap between those using it well and those not is growing fast

Using AI on LinkedIn to write generic sloppy posts is the biggest waste of your time.
Rather than churning out posts that sound like everyone else, I want you to leverage AI like it is a contractor in your team doing the admin and operations while you get to retain your original voice and show up online, while saving time and energy!

In today's podcast, I share how best to start including AI as a business tool and dive into some examples with Claude and Canva.

Join me for my three-part workshop kicking off on Monday for a hands-on learning session to get you from sitting on the sidelines trying to figure it out, to having a proper system you can implement in your business time and time again!

Takeaways:
LinkedIn and AI are a powerful combination for enhancing your business visibility online.
Many business owners are missing out on AI's potential by not integrating it with LinkedIn strategies.
It’s essential to align your LinkedIn profile with your content for maximum visibility and engagement.
Using AI to generate posts without context leads to generic content that doesn't resonate with your audience.
Creating a prompt library can streamline your content creation process, saving you time and effort.
AI should enhance your voice on LinkedIn, making your posts authentic and relatable rather than robotic.
