Make LinkedIn carousels people actually read, save, and remember.

In this episode, Amy Watts, B2B social strategist and content creator, breaks down actual examples of great brand carousels. She's run social for SaaS startups, audited dozens of brand channels, and now collaborates with B2B companies like HubSpot and Semrush.

What makes Amy's approach different: she doesn't treat B2B social as “professional content.” She treats it as community building. Strategic, human, and virtually impossible to scroll past.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why most B2B carousels look polished and still flop
• How to write a hook that earns the swipe
• The biggest mistake B2B brands make on LinkedIn
• How to make B2B fun without making it cringe
• Where to start if you're a marketer with zero carousel experience

Most LinkedIn advice was written for people trying to build an audience. But if you're a solopreneur or consultant, you don't need an audience, you need clients.

LinkedIn coach Sara Royf has helped 150+ consultants book discovery calls consistently using a 3-part system she calls the Revenue Routine: an optimized profile, intentional content, and a DM strategy that actually gets replies.

In this episode, we cover:

• The biggest LinkedIn mistake consultants make, and why it's not what you'd expect
• The "happy question trap" that kills DM conversations before they start
• What a real week on LinkedIn looks like inside the Revenue Routine
• Why going viral is not a lead gen strategy, and what actually is
• How one client went from $0 to $98K in LinkedIn revenue
• The anatomy of a first DM that gets a genuine response

Stop treating your personal brand like a side project. The people winning on LinkedIn treat it like their #1 growth channel.In this episode, Renee Lynn Frojo, journalist turned brand storytelling strategist, shares how her decade covering startups and San Francisco’s most influential people shaped the way she helps founders uncover the stories and turn them into content that attracts the right customers.Renee’s journey from newsroom to brand strategy gave her a unique lens: journalists find the story that is already there, while most founders try to manufacture one. That difference changes everything about how you build content, shorten your sales cycle, and connect with the right audience.In this episode, we cover:→ What journalism teaches about storytelling that marketing never does→ Why most founders get the “tell your story” advice wrong→ Her actual process for helping founders who say “I don’t have a story”→ What the creator economy teaches B2B that corporate marketing can’t→ How to build a bank of differentiated content ideas from your own experiences☕ Subscribe for fresh marketing insights and highlights from this chat:https://www.marketersdocoffee.comFIND CHRISTINE ON SOCIAL💜 https://www.linkedin.com/in/christineorchard💜 https://x.com/xtineorchard💜 https://www.instagram.com/marketersdocoffee

“Stale milk in a beautiful glass.”
That’s how Vincent Pierri describes most infographics on LinkedIn.
They look great. Nobody saves them. Nobody comes back to them. And reach stays flat.
In this episode, Vince Pierri and I dig into why that happens — and what actually makes an infographic go viral. Vince breaks down his 4-part framework: pain point, actionable, less saturated, high density. If any one of those is missing, the post flatlines.
But we also get into something most people skip: the text post. Because even a perfect infographic dies if the hook gives everything away in line one.
Vince grew to 27K followers in 16 months posting only infographics. Before that, he spent nearly 20 years as a pastor — which is where he learned how to hold a room (and a feed). Now he coaches founders and consultants through VAP Coaching.
In this episode, we break down:
→ The 4-part framework behind every viral infographic
→ Why copying a viral design still gets you zero traction
→ The save rate threshold that separates decent from viral
→ Why 0.4% can mean 5-10X the reach
→ Why the visual is “stale milk in a beautiful glass”
→ The #1 hook mistake that kills your text post
→ Why your hook should NOT be a thesis statement
→ Why Vince hides the real value 5-6 lines deep
→ Why he says “it better be clickbait”
→ How density drives saves
If you’re posting infographics and wondering why they look right but don’t perform, this one will help.

If your content isn’t generating business for you, it’s probably not a content issue. It’s your offer and how clear your POV is.

In this episode, Nick Bennett and I break down why so many solopreneurs and consultants get stuck at $20K-$50K/month, why custom services become the obstacle to your growth, and how standardizing your offer changes everything.

But we also go deeper. Because even the best offer won’t land if you don’t truly own your point of view.

Nick shares how he helps founders stop riding the referral rollercoaster and start building predictable pipeline, plus why strategy alone is useless without execution (and why you can’t outsource conviction).

If you’re a consultant, coach, or service provider who feels like you’re doing “all the right content things” but revenue isn’t moving, this episode will help you diagnose the real issue.

We all know employee posts crush company pages on LinkedIn, getting 12× more engagement.

Good content gets attention in the moment. But when 95% of buyers aren’t ready now, recall is what drives revenue later.

In this episode, I sit down with Justyna Ciecierska — positioning strategist and creator of the Marketing Waiting Room™ — to unpack why funnels are dead, why most content gets forgotten, and what actually makes buyers recall you at the moment of need. We cover the two-room model (marketing vs sales), the enemy test that sharpens your message instantly, and how to use AI as a sparring partner, not a silver bullet.
