The four weeks

  1. Week 1Assistant & research

    Voice file and three pillars

    Feed your assistant ten pieces you've written and have it write your voice file. Pick three pillars: what you do, what you believe, what you've seen. Every post belongs to one.

    You'll need: Your voice file

    The one subscription every size needs. Pick by the work you do most: Claude for writing-heavy, ChatGPT for breadth, Gemini for the Workspace bundle.

  2. Week 2Social content

    Write and schedule a week at a time

    Five posts a week, written in one sitting from the pillars, scheduled in advance. A LinkedIn-specific tool earns its slot when the channel is your top one; otherwise the general scheduler does.

    The toolSupergrow

    Starter $19/mo monthly, $16 annual (7-day trial) · checked 2026-09

    Only with the trigger: LinkedIn is your top channel and you want a $19 tool instead of a $69 one. The challenger to Taplio and the one we'd trial first for a LinkedIn-led solo consultant.

  3. Week 3Assistant & research

    The comment habit

    Twenty minutes a day commenting on ten people your clients follow — real sentences, no AI-generated 'great post'. This is where the profile visits come from; posting alone doesn't do it.

    The one subscription every size needs. Pick by the work you do most: Claude for writing-heavy, ChatGPT for breadth, Gemini for the Workspace bundle.

  4. Week 4Meetings & calls

    Convert conversations into calls

    Every DM that turns into a call gets a notetaker without a visible bot, and a next step in the CRM. Review Friday: which pillar produced the conversations?

    The toolGranola

    $0 (Business $14/user/mo) · checked 2026-09

    The notetaker for people who hate notetakers. Quiet, desktop-first, and the one we'd pick for sales calls with nervous prospects.
