Stuck posting "tips" that get 0 clients?
I wrote 2 founder-to-founder posts that actually get DMs:
"The agency model that lets you say yes to every client"
"3 signs your agency is stuck at $10k/mo"
Want me to write posts like this for your agency?
I do ghostwriting for agency founders.
Flat rate. No fluff. Just content that sells.
DM me "SAMPLES" and I'll send both posts.

Everyone says LinkedIn outreach is de@d.
Bad outreach is de@d. The kind that books calls looks
completely different.
Deleted in 2 seconds:
→ "Hi, I'd love to connect and explore synergies"
→ A pitch in the very first message
→ 4 paragraphs about you, your agency, your offer
→ Zero proof you actually read their profile
Gets a reply:
→ One line about something THEY published this week
→ A specific observation, not a vague compliment
→ A question they can answer from their phone in one

→ The ask saved for message 3 or 4 after they've talked back
Deleted outreach is about the sender.
Answered outreach is about the receiver.
I rewrote one opener last month - replies went from 2 to 19.
Yoohoooo isn't it good?
haha right...
And if your message could be pasted to 50 people unchanged,
they can tell. Every single time.
(I've sent a few of these myself. We all have.)
What's the worst cold DM opener you've ever received? I'll
go first in the comments.
So true. Personalization makes all the difference.
Okay so my discovery score was 26 last night. This morning it's 30. I haven't done much except for commenting on a post. How does the discovery score work, and what's the number I should aim for?
It varies slightly sometimes. I asked Contra directly about this situation, and it apparently shifts by up to 20 points as the system adjusts.
I help agency founders go from $10k/mo to $50k/mo.
How? By packaging 1 core offer + writing content that brings clients to your DMs.
What you get:
✓ 8 Authority posts/month written in your voice
✓ 1 Core offer + messaging that sells
✓ DM scripts to close leads from your content
Proof: Helped agencies book 3-5 calls/week without ads or cold outreach.
I only work with 3 agencies at a time.
If you're doing $10k-$30k/mo and want predictable leads, message me.
Let's build your $50k/mo agency.
