8 proven viral formats you can swipe
|
Hi Reader, One year ago, I started studying the more viral posts of LinkedIn's top creators. Now, after a lot of reverse-engineering and a few 1:1 calls, I can share what works. In this video, I break down 8+ different formats for LinkedIn you can easily reuse. These formats work great for most networks, not just LinkedIn. Don't copy blindly, though. Add your perspective, story, or philosophy. And sweat that first line. Let clarity, curiosity, and brevity be your North Star. If you get a hook right, it's MUCH easier to hold readers' attention. If you've more time, sweat your second line or re-hook. The rehook builds on the first line and keeps people reading. Wrap up your post with a clear call to action. If you need help, I've crafted a library of 101 High Converting Hooks. I add to the library regularly and use it for my content. If you want my swipe file of proven viral hooks, register for my webinar this Thursday. Write on, Bryan Collins

Here are the 5 best books I read in 2025 (4 new, one old). Shattered by Hanif Kureishi...
Hi Reader, I wanted to make a nice side income selling online courses back in 2015. So, I subscribed to email lists of the net’s biggest marketers to see how they promoted their wares. Before Netflix and X fame, Ramit Sethi was a big online course guru. I liked reading Ramit’s emails. I could tell he wrote them himself. And even though I’m from Ireland, I enjoyed his contrarian American-style take on personal finance. Ramit launched various online business courses over email every month. His...
Hi Reader, Designing a landing page trips many people up. I was on a call with a marketer who presented a landing page that looked like….a Gingerbread house! She explained to Zoom attendees, “Visitors can click on the windows on my house. We'll send them a PDF if they get the right one.” The team never signed off on her landing page. You see… A good landing page either sells or converts. It’s not a puzzle. And it’s not a work of art. Send traffic to your landing page from social media or paid...
