INTRODUCTION TO THE LINKEDIN CONTENT BIBLE
A Letter From the Author:
Houston Golden
Los Angeles, California
Hey there, badass entrepreneur.
You just took one of the biggest business steps ever.
See, this book covers a lot of ground, so I’m telling you now…
You should get prepared.
Pull out your best notepad, grab yourself a comfortable seat…
Pour a coffee and settle in.
You’re about to cover 42+ highly strategic, proven content templates.
The kind of content that truly works for every business, regardless of your industry.
Built on 350M+ views and thousands of LinkedIn posts over the last 3 years…
But a lot has changed with the LinkedIn algorithm since 2017…
THE L INKEDIN OUTREACH B IBLE
12
So we are giving you only our latest and GREATEST content templates that are guaranteed to work for you NOW… in 2020.
All in all, they’re designed to drive rapid ascension to LinkedIn Influencer status.
They’ll rapidly accelerate your content creation and skyrocket your reach…
And provide you with everything you need to produce highly-engaging story-driven and value-driven content using all our favorite post types:
Resource giveaways, viral videos, slides, images and stories...
But they do require work.
Like anything good, it takes some effort on your part.
They’re just templates after all, but…
Once you use them, you’ll start to see a MAJOR difference in your results.
Because these aren’t just templates someone randomly drafted up and put online — they’re based on my very own proven viral LinkedIn posts.
I developed them using my own experience on the platform.
And I can’t stress enough…
They really work.
You’re getting fill-in-the-blank breakdowns of every single post.
You’re getting viral content templates that you can repurpose to get hundreds of thousands of views per month -- easily MILLIONS of views -- on LinkedIn.
INTRODUCTION TO THE L INKEDIN CONTENT B IBLE
13
You’re getting resource giveaway post templates -- which work wonders to fill up your pipeline with hundreds of leads.
You’re getting it all.
And I know that’s hard to digest right now because...
When you got this book, you went through a few things.
The whole process probably looked a little like this:
You realized that something was just NOT cutting it in your business…
And you searched for answers online, but didn’t find much that helped.
The people you reached out to, the trusted social media experts, didn’t give you anything solid to go on, because…
Well, LinkedIn isn’t like any other social media platform.
It’s not like SEO blog content either.
It’s a unique beast, so...
All the advice you got was either stuff you’ve tried before or things that didn’t even make a difference.
Totally understandable.
How can “everyone” else do this stuff without a problem?
How is it possible for them to get these jaw-dropping results with the tricks that you tried fruitlessly?
“How does that WORK?”
So let me let you in on a little secret here:
THE L INKEDIN OUTREACH B IBLE
14
Most people need help with their content as a whole, even those who think their shit don’t stink… Especially them.
It’s not just you.
And those people who got massive results?
Legitimately impressive results?
They use stuff contained INSIDE our playbook.
Not to toot our own horn, but...
We do know a thing or two about going viral on LinkedIn.
We’ve done the legwork needed to get hundreds of millions of content views.
We’ve posted hundreds of posts every month on LinkedIn for the last 3 years.
That’s thousands of posts, all generating hundreds of millions of content views.
And now you’re about to get that wealth of knowledge for yourself.
Invaluable lessons, all condensed in fill-in-the-blank content templates so you can quickly turn your ship around.
Because if you’re been wondering what works organically…
Just like we did when we first started BAMF…
Then let me just say the answer is LinkedIn content.
Just really authentic compelling content that people can’t help but engage with.
It’s like a plate of avocado toast.
INTRODUCTION TO THE L INKEDIN CONTENT B IBLE
15
Put it in front of people, and just wait.
It’s not just the millennials, it’s everyone.
They’ll all dig right in, without hesitation, because it’s delicious.
The same rule applies to tasty content.
People won’t be able to resist.
They’ll click on it, they’ll read it, maybe like it or leave a comment.
And can you guess what else?
That’s right — they’ll take note the next time you post something.
They’ll pay attention the time after that too…
And soon, they’ll just eat up all your content.
Gobble gobble gobble.
Soon, you’ll be on their radar, and they’ll jump at the thought of working with you.
That’s how it’s worked for us and our clients for years.
It’s the entire reason we’re in business.
We built BAMF off of this, and we help others do the exact same thing.
So now I want to share that knowledge with you.
Because I know you have what it takes to replicate the success we’ve experienced here at BAMF.
Sharing our secrets is the least we can do to help out our community of fellow entrepreneurs.
We’re at a point where the dust is settled and we know what to do to keep it up.
THE L INKEDIN OUTREACH B IBLE
16
And we want that for as many people as possible.
Including YOU.
So we designed this book with that in mind.
That’s why you can expect to learn quite a few things from it (a lot, actually)…
Including the importance of content…
As well as what makes up compelling, engaging content people can’t ignore.
We’re going to walk you through all the fundamentals you’ve probably been missing…
As well as how to connect with others on a basic, human level, and leverage that into a meaningful conversation.
We’re talking about easy, DIY networking with prospects on LinkedIn through content... that’s guaranteed to work every single time.
Day after day, week after week, and year after year.
Regardless of your industry, niche, size, whatever.
And in the true BAMF spirit, we’re not stopping there.
Even though we have no problem sharing our secrets with you…
We know full well how time slips between your fingers.
So to make your life easier, we’re providing you with these exclusive proven templates you can use to get started right away.
But no, don’t make the mistake of thinking they’re just any old templates.
You can’t find these online anywhere.
INTRODUCTION TO THE L INKEDIN CONTENT B IBLE
17
No one has these available — paid or otherwise.
And I’ll tell you why:
Because these aren’t just any ordinary templates.
These are exact formulas that we’ve developed over the years…
All based on the things that have worked for us and our clients.
Everyone from small-time startups to big-name brands you know and love.
So let’s get to it, already.
It’s time to start leveling up your content.
Best of luck.
Stay Golden,
Houston

Looking to become a better copywriter?
Copywriting in 2020 is as important as ever,
Especially with the rise of digital marketing, search, and SEO.

It was likely some form of text that brought them there.
Blogs, websites, social media captions, ads, video scripts…
All founded in copywriting.
The better the copywriting, the more effective the content,
And the more likely the reader will take action.

ACTUAL POST: “DON’T BE AFRAID TO REINVENT THE WHEEL.”
Don’t be afraid to reinvent the wheel.
Great examples of what it means to innovate and think “outside the box”.
Four strategies that will help you to come up with new ideas:

Probably feeling justified in their teasing (playing ‘the victim’) due to something Branson said or did (‘the attacker’).

Knowing what to work on vs. what to say NO to is one of the hardest things in business.
Here’s an easy graph to help you organize your schedule.
“What is important is seldom urgent, and what is urgent is seldom important.” - Eisenhower
This is how you manage the chaos:
1) IMPORTANT and URGENT tasks get done first.2) URGENT but NOT IMPORTANT >>> DELEGATE
them. 3) IMPORTANT but NOT URGENT >> > SCHEDULE time
to do them.4) NOT URGENT and NOT IMPORTANT >>> DELETE

Watch the activity of the non-tech fortunes, then when a new tech business like Facebook or Amazon hits a popular point. They soar like nothing else. 📈
That’s what makes a successful start-up, though: find a pain point and solve it, but for other businesses or for the public.
Do it well enough, and you could become one of the richest people in the world.

Workplace culture shapes the employees in it. We’ve all seen it or experienced it ourselves. Management insecure in their position punish those who offer advice or ideas for how to be better.
This turns honesty into silence, or worse, lies. No company ever grew from being surrounded by silent cogs. 😶

The same is true for professionals. If you give an answer, be sure it’s the same answer every time that question is asked.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The name’s Houston Golden.
I’m the Founder & CEO of BAMF — a company I’ve grown from $0 (yes, really) to well over $4M in revenue over a span of 3 years.
How did I do it? Well, it’s quite simple, really.
I’ve helped hundreds of business owners and executives get major traction on LinkedIn (because when they win, we win).
Our proven process has turned hundreds of unknown founders into LinkedIn Influencers, capable of churning out viral content and generating over 350M+ organic views. 🚀
Using my growth hacking mindset and drive to win has proven beyond essential to our business here at BAMF…
These days, we’re driving ROI for growing companies using cutting-edge content and growth marketing tactics. We basically turned being a “growth hacker” into a career.
No wonder we’re best known as the masterminds behind some of LinkedIn’s top influencers.
To me, LinkedIn is more than just a social media platform.
LinkedIn is unlimited potential.
