Most LinkedIn polls are engagement bait — votes roll in, authority stays at zero. The fix: 20 polls across 4 categories that surface buyer signals, validate positioning, and feed next month's content. Pricing anchors, stack discovery, painpoint priority, belief tests — plus the Claude prompt and the 2-week rule I never break.
A test-matrix methodology for cross-channel paid media — 5 channels × 4 audiences × 2-3 creative concepts, structured in a spreadsheet, with minimum spend math, Day 7 vs Day 14 kill rules, and a $90k B2B SaaS case study where a founder LinkedIn video beat every paid creative on cold prospect.
A three-stage pipeline — Claude writes a 30-row CSV, Canva Bulk Create pours it into one template, a PDF-capable scheduler queues a month of carousels in under 90 minutes.
I cut my own LinkedIn posting schedule to once a week and filled the other four slots with substantive comments on other people's posts — profile views up 47% in a month, two DMs into booked calls. The full Perplexity-research / ChatGPT-draft / human-edit loop, the contrarian-first prompt, the Friday tracking ritual, and the rules that keep it from going spammy.
A four-move structure (Scene, Mechanism, Wager, Limits) that separates a thought-leadership post engineered to be remembered from one engineered to be liked — and a self-test for catching the slop in your own drafts.
A 5-step workflow that turns OpenAI Operator into a 24/7 lead-enrichment agent — opening LinkedIn profiles, extracting job and company data, and writing it back into your CRM while you sleep. Includes the honest limits: rate limits, hit-or-miss emails, and the $200/month math.
Pick the slide count first, chunk the post, build the template, write slides in reverse — the 6-step workflow that turned a 1,200-word post into a 412,000-impression carousel.
