Building an authentic and profitable presence on LinkedIn is challenging—especially when you're busy running a successful coaching business. Peter Shallard, founder of Commit Action, was no stranger to success in coaching. Yet LinkedIn felt like an uphill battle:
- Barely any engagement: Posts rarely surpassed five likes.
- Reliant on ads: Dependent on paid marketing for client acquisition.
- Algorithm struggles: Constantly fighting to gain visibility.
Then Peter transformed his LinkedIn presence dramatically, all without spending a dime on ads, and while maintaining his authentic voice. Here's exactly how he did it with Saywhat.
The Initial Struggle: Low Visibility and Frustrating Results
Peter had immense expertise and valuable insights to offer. Yet, LinkedIn's algorithm wasn’t rewarding his efforts. Each post felt like shouting into a void, failing to attract engagement or leads.
This struggle forced him to rely heavily on paid advertising for client leads. He knew something had to change—but he wasn’t willing to compromise his authentic voice or quality standards.
Transforming Peter’s LinkedIn Presence: The Four-Part Strategy
Peter adopted a clear and focused strategy that delivered remarkable results. His approach was structured, leveraging Saywhat's powerful features to achieve rapid growth and genuine engagement:
1. Developing a Recognizable Visual Style
Peter realized standout content requires more than insightful words—it needs to visually grab attention. He created a distinctive visual style, instantly recognizable in crowded LinkedIn feeds. This visual consistency made his posts memorable, encouraging followers to stop scrolling and engage.
2. Identifying Winning Content Formulas
Leveraging Saywhat's analytics, Peter studied successful posts within his niche. Instead of guessing, he adapted proven themes and structures from top performers. This strategic alignment significantly increased his content's engagement, making every post more impactful and appealing.
3. Enhancing His Unique Voice with Saywhat Collab

4. Commitment to Consistent, Daily Engagement
Peter didn’t rely solely on posting frequency; he emphasized daily meaningful interactions. He posted consistently seven days a week without fail. Beyond posting, he proactively engaged with comments, participated in conversations, and connected authentically with other creators daily. This proactive engagement accelerated his visibility and positioned him as a trusted voice in his community.

Peter's transformation was remarkable and measurable. Within five months, his focused strategy resulted in:
- Rapid follower growth: Gained over 8,100 targeted followers.
