In the past 2 years, Iโ€™ve helped 8 AI & SaaS founders grow their audience through organic content on LinkedIn. Here are the 3 best-performing content types:

The AI/SaaS space moves fast.

Most people on LinkedIn are here to learn.

Share latest industry news โ†’ position yourself as a valuable source of insight.

But that alone isn't enough.

If your goal is to build thought-leadership, add your perspective:

โ€ข How will this influence the industry?
โ€ข What implications will happen?
โ€ข What does it mean for your target audience?

Every founder I worked with was solving a clear problem with their product.

That problem, and the way you solve it = valuable content.

Break it down. Make it tactical.

โ†’ Walk through your internal process
โ†’ Share the exact steps youโ€™d take to solve that problem
โ†’ Explain how others can apply it to get the same outcome

The "value-first approach" builds trust.

Once people find your advice valuable, they'll also trust you with the full solution.

A lead magnet is a free, high-value resource you share to engage your ideal audience.

It solves a small, specific problem.

And gives people a taste of how you think and work.

When done right, it sparks interest, builds trust, and opens up conversations in the DMs.

Examples:

โ€ข Internal guides
โ€ข Notion templates
โ€ข Visual frameworks
โ€ข Loom explainer videos

Execution:

โ†’ Explain what it is and why it helps
โ†’ Call out who itโ€™s for
โ†’ Ask people to comment a keyword
โ†’ Send it via DMs

โ€”

Each angle serves a different role in building a personal brand:

โ€ข Education content builds authority
โ€ข Tactical content builds trust
โ€ข Lead magnets convert engagement

Which have you already tested? What were the results?
