Behind the Build: Why I Started 100 Day Visibility School

I am posting for 100 days in a row on social media, and I am putting out content that is meant to help people grow their visibility, their followers, their email subscribers, or their buyers. I specifically wanted to put this out into the world so that I could also grow my own list, with the goal of adding 10,000 subscribers in 100 days. Now, this episode is the full behind-the-scenes, why I decided to do it, how it’s different from my 100-Day LinkedIn experiment, and why I’m scared out of my mind. But I’m confident this is exactly what I’m supposed to be doing.

I’m Writing a Book—and It Might Be the Dumbest Smart Thing I’ve Ever Done

For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to write a book! It feels weird to say out loud, but I know that by sharing this with you, I will also hold myself accountable and publish this thing. I’ve had a few books stewing around in my brain for a few years now. But, after taking a swing at a partnered brand deal a few years ago and deciding it wasn’t the right fit for my first book, I’ve been a bit deflated. But people like Justin Moore, who wrote Sponsor Magnet, and Jay Clouse, whom I hosted for a super inspiring conversation and is in the throes of writing his own conversation, have helped me to reconsider. Let’s get into it!

My 100-Day LinkedIn Experiment: My Growth Strategy

I’m 28 days into a 100-working-day LinkedIn experiment, and I’ve already learned so much! In this episode, I break down exactly what I’ve done so far: how I updated my profile to attract the right audience, how I’m structuring my posts for engagement, what type of content is actually landing, and how I’m coming up with fresh ideas daily without burning out or overthinking. 

I also share the unexpected wins that came from simply showing up, from weekly podcast invites to new genuine relationships, a 16.8% bump in followers, and over 21,000 impressions. I haven’t gone viral, but that’s kind of the point. This is about building sustainable visibility, not chasing quick hits.
