LinkedIn Marketing Skills

By Serge Bulaev

Write, polish, and publish LinkedIn posts and comments in your own voice.

Demand Gen Strategy and Measurement

• Explains how to split budget between brand-building (the 95% not ready to buy) and performance (the 5% in-market now)
• Helps you define the right metrics—shifting from MQLs to pipeline value and qualified opportunities
• Guides channel selection and attribution models so you know what's working and what's not
• Shows how to align marketing structure with your actual go-to-market motion (inbound, outbound, or partner-led)
• Surfaces buyer psychology—trigger events, deal cycles, multi-stakeholder decisions—so your campaigns match reality

LinkedIn Marketing Skills

• Drafts LinkedIn posts, comments, and replies tuned to what performs on the platform today
• Reviews drafts and removes AI-sounding words and patterns before you publish
• Plans a week of content and adapts tweets, videos, or blog posts into native LinkedIn posts
• Pulls hook formulas from viral posts and audits or rewrites your LinkedIn profile
• Interviews you to build a bank of real stories your posts can draw on
