LinkedIn Post #1 — "The honest first week"

Format: Short story + lesson + CTA · Tone: Honest, reflective

I spent the first week of this business trying to automate everything.

I built 3 AI workflows, 2 prompt libraries, and a "system" before I had a single customer.

None of it mattered.

What worked:
— One conversation with a founder who was actually stuck
— One post that said what I was actually thinking
— One simple offer they could say yes or no to

The lesson: AI is a multiplier, not a starter motor.

You still need to know what people want, say it clearly, and ask them to buy it.

I write about this every week. If you're building with AI and don't want to drown in complexity, follow along.

LinkedIn Post #2 — "What AI actually costs"

Format: Myth-busting + numbers + framework · Tone: Direct, practical

The biggest lie in AI right now: "It will replace your whole team."

The truth:

AI is cheap at the task level and expensive at the system level.

A single Claude prompt: £0.03
Building a workflow that actually works end-to-end: 20 hours
Maintaining it when the API changes: 4 hours per quarter

The real cost is not the API bill.
It's the time you spend making AI behave like a reliable employee instead of a clever intern.

That's why we built TAIGL with a human approval gate.
AI drafts. Human decides. Nothing ships without a final yes.

LinkedIn Post #3 — "The £19 product I almost didn't ship"

Format: Story + vulnerability + offer · Tone: Conversational, open

I almost didn't ship the Starter Kit.

I kept thinking: "It's not comprehensive enough."
"People will want video."
"£19 is too cheap to be taken seriously."

Then a founder DM'd me after a post and said: "I just need a clear starting point. I don't need a course. I need a system I can use today."

So I shipped it. £19. One document. 50 prompts, a weekly method, templates, and a 30-day plan.

No video. No community. No upsell funnel.

Just: here's what works, here's how to use it, here's your first week.

Result: first sale in 48 hours. (Okay, it was a friend. But they paid full price. That counts.)

The point: your first product doesn't need to be perfect. It needs to be useful to someone who is stuck today.

If you're stuck today, the Starter Kit is £19. Link in comments.

LinkedIn Post #4 — "Audit pain post"

Format: Problem identification + solution framing + soft CTA · Tone: Empathetic, expert

I spent 2 hours last week watching a founder explain their "AI workflow" to me.

It had 7 tools, 4 automations, 3 "AI agents," and a Notion database that looked like a NASA control room.

Nothing was broken. But nothing was selling either.

The problem wasn't the tools. It was the assumption that more automation = more progress.

Here's what I told them:

1. Pick one thing that makes you money this week
2. Write one post that explains your actual point of view
3. Send one DM to someone who engaged with your last post
4. Do that 4 times before you build anything new

They looked relieved. Then guilty. Then they asked if I do audits.

I do. £249. A focused workflow audit. If there's a fit, the next step is a £750–£1,500 implementation sprint.

DM me if you're stuck in the automation loop and want out.

X Thread #1 — "AI cost reality check"

Format: 5-tweet thread · Tone: Punchy, contrarian

1/ AI is cheap at the task level and expensive at the system level.

A single Claude prompt: £0.03
Building a workflow that actually works: 20 hours
Maintaining it when the API changes: 4 hours per quarter

2/ The real cost is not the API bill.

It's the time you spend making AI behave like a reliable employee instead of a clever intern.

3/ Most founders I meet have 3 AI tools and 0 working workflows.

They spend more time managing the tools than they save on the tasks.

4/ The fix is simpler than the tools make it sound:

- One priority per week
- One prompt per task
- One human approval before anything ships

5/ I built a system around this principle. £19. No subscriptions.

50 prompts, a weekly method, and a 30-day plan.

If you're drowning in AI complexity, this is your lifeboat.

X Thread #2 — "The 5-minute founder post"

Format: 4-tweet thread · Tone: Encouraging, actionable

1/ You don't need a content strategy.

You need one post per week that says something you actually believe.

2/ The 5-minute founder post:

- What happened this week (1 sentence)
- What you learned (1 sentence)
- What you'd do differently (1 sentence)
- Ask a question (1 sentence)

That's it. 4 sentences. Post it.

3/ The reason most founders don't post:

They're trying to write the definitive guide instead of the honest update.

Your audience wants the update. The guide can come later.

4/ I write about this weekly. If you want a system for turning one honest thought into a week of content, grab the free guide.
