Most LinkedIn posts land with all the impact of a soggy napkin - some likes, maybe a pity comment, and then… silence. But there’s a reason a handful of people keep turning content into cash while the rest of us yell into the void.
It’s not luck. It’s a system. If you’re tired of “just posting” and hoping something sticks, this playbook is your cheat code.

7-Step LinkedIn Selling Playbook
Most LinkedIn content dies in the feed. But some creators turn posts into 8-figure pipelines. This 7-step social selling playbook—built with input from someone who’s driven 40M+ impressions—shows exactly how it’s done.
Here’s the full breakdown:
1. Build two audiences, not one
Your content won’t convert if the wrong people see it. You need to grow two core audiences:
ICP Audience – These are your potential buyers.
→ Build a target account list
→ Find ICP contacts
→ Send connection requests regularly
Creator/Influencer Audience – These accounts boost your visibility.
→ Shortlist niche creators
→ Connect and engage
→ Leave valuable comments to get noticed
The first drives revenue. The second drives reach.
2. Warm up the right people
It’s not enough for prospects to see your posts. They need to see you engaging with them.
Ways to warm them up:
View their profiles
Like and comment on their content
Start real (non-salesy) conversations in DMs
This signals intent to the LinkedIn algorithm and boosts future post visibility.
3. Top-of-funnel content (70%)
This content builds your personal brand and attracts attention. Your goal is to stay top of mind - not to sell.
Best formats:
Thought leadership
Educational posts
Storytelling
Giveaways
Carousels
Focus on being helpful, relatable, and consistent.
4. Middle-of-funnel content (20%)
Now that people know who you are, introduce what you do and how you solve problems.
Best formats:
Demos and walkthroughs
How-to guides
Frameworks and playbooks
Webinars
This content bridges the gap between “interesting person” and “valuable solution.”
5. Bottom-of-funnel content (10%)
This is your conversion content—designed to drive action. Use it sparingly, but strategically.
Best formats:
Case studies and testimonials
Product announcements
Promotions
Screenshots or videos of results
The goal is to make the value of your offer undeniable.
6. Capture interest along the way
Not every prospect will DM you directly. You need passive ways to catch buying signals:
Monitor profile visits
Use strong profile CTAs
Offer lead magnets
Watch for post engagement
Track inbound DMs
All of these are entry points into your sales funnel.
7. Convert attention into revenue
Once you’ve captured interest, route it into one of four conversion channels:
Newsletter sign ups
Landing pages
Direct outbound messages
Booking meetings
From there, it’s all about closing, retaining, and expanding.
Bottom line: This playbook isn’t a quick hack - it’s a full-funnel LinkedIn system. Done right, it can become your best-performing acquisition channel. But it only works if you commit to showing up, providing value, and building relationships at scale.
