Marketing Best Practicies

How to start a blog (series with ahrefs) 1. Don't use Google Analytics... ? use ahrefs web analytics instead Last November I launched a series with ahrefs. My goal was to build a blog and increase my traffic. (but ya so I'll be real I dropped the ball) I went ghost and been focused on healing myself instead. This month, though, I'm working on my blog. There's A TON TO DO. This is a quick guide on how I'm setting up my analytics. (so I can see if anyone visits my new website) So why cut Google and use ahrefs? Well ahrefs Web Analytics is simple, and privacy-focused. It's only 3 steps to setup and you get: -1 million free events monthly per website -Real-time metrics within 1 minute -No personal data collection -No cookies The dashboard still delivers the essential metrics like: -Audience countries -Device types used -Visitor behavior -Top pages The great thing is your privacy is protected. No data sharing with big corporations or weird GDPR popup requirements. And well for me the best thing is... It's freakin easy to setup. So look, this is me once again starting a blogging journey. Do you think I'll actually get it done this time? PS Shout out to ahrefs for sponsoring this post, they are the best tool in the SEO game. Oh, and yeah, there's only 1 tip to this how-to content. (because I have eleventy more steps to go) Check out Ahrefs web analytics here: https://lnkd.in/ga9xSuqu

I quit posting for 9 days and I didn't die... It's okay to take a break. It's okay to slow down.. You know the feeling.... The feeling you get when you are: Caught in the endless cycle of creating content Caught in the endless cycle of lead gen calls Caught in the endless grind that is LinkedIn... I decided to break free from it all. For 9 whole days. I had a nice posting break. But I was still super productive. - Planted a garden - Did a sunset photoshoot with friends in Charleston - Upgraded my agency's systems - Refreshed my LinkedIn profile The truth is, stepping away from posting didn't hurt my business. Instead, it gave me: - A well-needed break - Better content ideas - A fresh perspective Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your online presence is... To just stop. To just take a break. To take some time to reload and come back stronger. Share this with someone who needs permission to pause.

Your Linkedin is not a landing page. Yes I’m right. Stop arguing mate…. In fact it’s not just you. This idea is outdated. I created that post idea before you had your first follower. That’s right, way back in 2021!! (when you were in ur mums basement) Back when you could post a poll and get 100k impressions. Back when you could post a sob story and get 1k followers. Back when you could…. Put ghostwriter in your headline and get inbound leads. But in 2025? You don’t get inbound leads unless your a 20 something hot girl. So I’m speaking to all the Bobs, Amir’s, and Steven’s today…. Your Linkedin ain’t a landing page. I know your broke. So lose the I generate 1 million for my clients headline. Listen to ol man Lukey. You need to learn outbound in 2025. Try Sales Navigator. Start DM conversations. Add targeted connections. Start putting in the work. You aren’t gonna make money by trying to be a Linkedin influencer. Inbound is dying on Linkedin. So if you aren’t hot, it’s time to work. (So 99% of you) ??

Wayne Gretzky was wrong. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" Interesting statement because. Gretzky was a pass first hockey player. The greatest passer ever. He often set up his teammates for goals. So look he didn't always shoot. You can't always shoot. (this is not just about sports dummy) Most of you shoot your shot too soon. Too often. "Just start posting" is terrible advice. 95% of meaningful LinkedIn growth is about how you network. And look... Most of you got no game. Your shot stinks. So maybe learn how to pass first? (that's a metaphor for learn how to comment, add connections and do outbound) PS Do u know who Wayne Gretzky is?

Educational content is dead. Write to make me feel or I don’t cares… I can easily find information on: -Google -Perplexity -YouTube -Podcasts -Reddit -Twitter -A local blog… We all have too much information. You need to inspire people to take action. This is done by making them us feel. So go ahead and use AI to write another boring post about your industry but…. Nobody fackin cares. ??

Remote work saves me $1000s a month. But it can also be limiting.. Hi I’m Luke, your mum wouldn’t get my job. This month I made money: -selling an AI course -1v1 coaching -posting about ai tools -affiliate subscription sales Annnnd referrals for ghostwriting clients. Speaking of that…. Last month I left Paraguay for the USA for a bit. I’ve made some new friends like Devyn ? she runs a ghostwriting agency. Devyn (& team) don’t just grow your brand. But she also takes your photos. ? because she’s a pro photographer. I did some work with her & the team and we'll guess had to post a selfie as proof... That I do say hello to humans sometimes lol. Anyways… Remote work is cool. But it’s also cool to work in-person. (I’ve met a lot of cool Linkediners ??) PS Are you still working remote in 2025?
