Can I go atomic and write a post in 250 words or less?

Brevity is not my gift.

Somehow LinkedIn gurus manage to do it day after day, and surely I am no less ineloquent?

Every day, it’s resurrections of the same 250-word tripe (which in some industries we call plagiarism).

It opens with big-dick energy or fake humility.

Then a lament they were once a LinkedIn nobody like you,

until they found a growth hack they are sharing for free (Gee, ain’t I swell?)

or selling (at a discount, cuz you’re buds)

in the form of an ultimate guide, eBook, eCourse, power system, webinar series, podcast, guest lecture, 1:1 coaching, conference, consulting business, workshop, guest post, retreat, downloadable, or __________ affiliate product.

Well then, off you fuck.

Also I’m proud to announce (🎉🎉🎉) I’ll see you tomorrow on LI when I comment, “Great post! So good! Check out my blog!”
