3 Proven Strategies to Build an £840K Waitlist with Personal Branding

Are you frustrated by a dormant LinkedIn profile and missed client opportunities?

You’re not alone. Many founders underestimate their personal brand’s power.

In a recent collaboration, we helped two co-founders transform a few thousand followers into a combined 35,000, drive 10 million views, and build a £70K/month waitlist. That’s £840K per year.

Here are the three proven strategies that made it possible.

Package Your Expertise as Intellectual Property

The Problem: Raw information gets lost in the noise.
The Solution: Distill your knowledge into proprietary frameworks.

• Create Models: Develop processes, systems, and frameworks that showcase your unique approach.
  
  
• Simplify Complexity: Turn deep expertise into clear, actionable steps.
  
  
• Build Trust: Audiences follow and engage with content they can immediately apply.
  
  

When you package your know-how as IP, you position yourself as the go-to expert in your field.

Leverage Data to Fuel Your Content Engine

The Problem: Guesswork leads to wasted effort.
The Solution: Test, measure, and iterate based on real performance metrics.

• Volume & Variance: Publish consistently and in multiple formats (text, carousel, video).
  
  
• Performance Analysis: Identify top-performing posts by views, likes, and shares.
  
  
• Iterative Improvement: Double down on winning topics and turn them into lead magnets.
  
  

By letting data guide your content, you ensure every post moves you closer to qualified leads.

Embrace a 360° Branding Approach

The Problem: Viewing LinkedIn in isolation limits your impact.
The Solution: Integrate your personal brand across channels and touchpoints.

• Profile Optimization: Clarify your positioning, credibility, and value proposition on LinkedIn.
  
  
• Cross-Platform Testing: Use Twitter or other platforms to refine headlines and hooks.
  
  
• Authority Amplification: Secure podcast features, speaking engagements, and media mentions.
  
  
• Funnel Integration: Align your personal brand with your broader sales and marketing system for seamless lead capture.
  
  

When you look beyond a single platform, you multiply your opportunities and solidify your authority.
