“I quit my job & posted about it on LinkedIn. That one post changed my entire life.” 🚀
Just wrapped an inspiring 49-minute conversation with Olga de Andrés Fernández, who went from corporate consulting in Madrid to running Growth Boutique in NYC (with ZERO connections when she arrived).
3 Game-Changing Takeaways that will transform your LinkedIn strategy:
1️⃣ The “3-Post Rule” That Guarantees Success
Post 3x/week consistently. Test different formats. In one year, you WILL go viral at least 3 times. Olga’s formula: Personal stories (40%) + Educational content (30%) + Social proof (20%) + Trends (10%).
“LinkedIn pushes content from consistent creators. At first, you might get zero likes. Keep going – the algorithm rewards persistence.”
2️⃣ Your Silent Readers Are Your Best Clients
“I have clients who’ve NEVER liked a single post but have read everything for years,” Olga revealed. Don’t let vanity metrics discourage you. The people watching silently often become your biggest opportunities.
3️⃣ Seven Touch Points to Trust
It takes 7 interactions for someone to buy from you. A 20-minute YouTube video? That’s multiple touch points in one. A LinkedIn post? That’s one. Build trust through consistency, not perfection.
💡 The plot twist? Her most viral post wasn’t celebrating a new job – it was celebrating QUITTING one. Sometimes the unconventional story is exactly what resonates.
Now for the real talk: This episode was delayed because my SSD got corrupted and data recovery took FOREVER 😅 But like Olga says, “Start before you’re ready” – so here we are!
