Abtahi Munem
Freelance Writer for B2B & D2C Brands — Turning Complex Idea
New to Contra
Abtahi is building their profile!
This week I tried something I'd never done before.
Instead of sending cold emails — I left comments.
Specific, thoughtful comments on real company LinkedIn posts.
No pitch. No "I'm a freelance writer, hire me."
Just one genuine observation per post and walked away.
One comment got 40 impressions on a post that had been sitting dead at 3 reactions for days.
Another got 26. Another 9.
Zero cold emails sent. Zero pitches made.
I wrote up exactly what I did, what I said, and what I learned.
If you're a freelance writer looking for clients — or a founder wondering why your LinkedIn posts aren't landing — this one's for you.

I spent a week going through 10 real startup homepages.
Same mistakes kept showing up. Again and again. Across different niches, different teams, different budgets.
The one that surprised me most: in 8 out of 10 cases, the best line on the entire page was the last one.
The headline that would have stopped a stranger scrolling? Buried at the bottom like a footnote.
I wrote up everything I found — the patterns, the fixes, and a few real before/afters.
If you're a founder, a marketer, or just someone who writes for a living — worth a read.

An analytical essay examining the Funerary Sculpture of a Winged Lion from the Houston Museum's Ancient Mediterranean collection.
The piece explored the sculpture's historical context, symbolic meaning, and cultural significance within ancient Assyrian society — covering themes of guardianship, divinity, and funerary belief systems.
Research involved cross-referencing multiple academic sources to build a layered argument connecting the sculpture's physical form to its spiritual purpose. The essay also drew comparisons with similar guardian figures across ancient Greek culture, highlighting how different civilisations conceptualised protection and the afterlife.
Delivered as a fully referenced academic paper in MLA format.
