👉 More than $10M in pipeline generated in 2025

👉 Worked with over 50 companies in 10+ industries

If your goal is to build a sustainable pipeline in 2025, mass emailing 100k contacts per month with the same template just won't cut it anymore. The average decision-maker receives 100+ emails, 30+ calls, and 20+ LinkedIn messages each day. Plus, major ESPs like Google and Outlook made sure that bad emails stay where they belong - in spam.
Successful outreach in 2025 relies on relevance, personalization, signals, intent-based audiences, and lead magnets.

Social Media Marketing: Organic Growth, Content & Sales | 200M+ Views
Pula, Croatia
$50/hr$50 per hour5.0 (2) 8 jobs $700+ total earnings
Across 5 years, 17+ long-term social media marketing projects, and 500+ videos, my social media marketing work has generated 200M+ organic views without paid promotion. Reach proves distribution. Business results determine whether the social media marketing system works.
SELECTED SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING RESULTS
300% sales growth · ~4K store-link clicks/month · 34.6K followers · 10M views · 134K shares — DTC brand in a sensitive category, with paid advertising switched off for the entire 12-month social media marketing engagement. One video sold out a slow-moving product line completely.
2× monthly revenue · 75% organic orders · regularly 6K+ store-link clicks · 70,240 followers · 27M views — E-commerce store, twelve months of social media marketing from zero. January sales were 2× December.
150%+ revenue growth · ~5K store-link clicks/month · 49,619 followers · 29M views · 6M views in one month · 3 videos at 2.5M+ — Phone and gadget retail. New customers from TikTok started coming in during the first week of the social media marketing rollout, and twelve months later, the account led its category.
10M views · 3 months · 68,040 TikTok followers · 3K+ link clicks/month · bookings weeks ahead — Barbershop, Krakow. The owners were certain European audiences wouldn't respond. Their employee has run the social media marketing system since the handover.
200% average check · record revenue in a traditionally weak season · TikTok 0 → 15,574 · Instagram 530 → 13,237 · 2.1M best video — Café. The social media marketing result helped fund an in-house pastry operation.
19M organic views · 41 videos · 0 paid distribution — National fuel station chain, with the social media marketing strategy built around increasing mobile app usage.
HOW I DO SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
I build social media marketing systems around commercial outcomes: positioning → offer → profile packaging → content → funnel → sale.
Social media marketing starts before the first video is filmed. I look at what you sell, who should buy it, how the offer is framed, what the profile communicates, and what happens after someone watches the content.
WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING CLIENTS SAY
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Volodymyr I., Dzvonylka: "Honestly, when we started, I didn't believe the approach Valentyn proposed would work. By the first week, it was clear we were wrong — new customers from TikTok kept growing."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maria C., DTC e-commerce: "You took our TikTok to another level, and sales took off. We run no paid ads now; TikTok pays for itself."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Taras G., Getman Store: "When someone hears 'Getman Store' now, they have a specific image in their head. That's largely your doing."
WHAT I DO
• SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING AUDIT & POSITIONING
Every social media marketing engagement starts with the numbers: current accounts, what sells, who buys, and why. Then I work on how the brand is framed: entry offer, upsells, bundles, and positioning.
• SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING GROWTH
I build social media marketing around organic acquisition first. Three brands above had advertising switched off or unavailable, and organic social media marketing carried the revenue.
• SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING CONTENT STRATEGY
Recurring formats instead of one-off videos: reach at the top, trust in the middle, sales at the bottom. The social media marketing plan is built backward from a sales target and tied to launches.
• SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING PRODUCTION
Batch shoots and a content bank. One long piece repurposed into cuts, posts, and stories. Short-form social media marketing content for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts; long-form for YouTube.
• RETENTION EDITING
I test hooks in batches and reuse the winner. I cut against second-by-second retention, not just the first three seconds, and every social media marketing piece has a next step.
• STORIES & DMs
Stories are a daily social media marketing sales channel. Comment triggers and keyword replies feed a DM script from first message to payment, objections included.
• SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING PACKAGING & FUNNEL
Bio, pinned content, highlights, captions, then where social media marketing traffic lands, what proof it sees, and where it's asked to buy.
• AI-ASSISTED PRODUCTION
I use AI for social media marketing research, fact-checking, content generation, and editing. Hooks and scripts I write myself; AI-written scripts underperform on my own accounts.
• SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING ANALYTICS
I track reach, views, engagement, profile activity, link clicks, and commercial metrics, then use the data to shape the next social media marketing cycle.
• SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING TEAM ENABLEMENT
Playbooks, shooting and editing standards, publishing rhythm, and social media marketing training. In Krakow, their employee has run the system since the handover.
Press "INVITE," and I'll tell you where your social media marketing is losing sales before either of us commits.
Best wishes,
Valentyn S.

LinkedIn / X Ghostwriter for B2B Agencies | Personal Brand | Ex-Stripe
Pula, Croatia
$32/hr$32 per hour4.9 (5) 19 jobs $10K+ total earnings
You can add $20,000-$200,000/mo with organic LinkedIn or Twitter/X content systems in less than 60 days
6 years ago, one of my posts went viral (600k+ impressions) and my inbox was full within a couple of hours. That's when I first landed a $3k client. It felt unreal.
Your LinkedIn and Twitter/X profile should get you clients, leads and booked calls without paid ads - and content that looks like ChatGPT wrote it WILL NOT get you there.
Here are the most common mistakes I see founders and agencies make on LinkedIn and Twitter/X in 2026:
1. Inconsistent posting:
The algorithm hates inconsistency. Both LinkedIn and Twitter/X reward accounts that post consistently. You are missing out on daily mindshare because of a lack of clear schedule and posting volume.
Even if you write an amazing post, it won't show up on the timeline/feed!
2. ChatGPT writes your posts:
You know your domain, but you don't know how to translate your expertise into high-signal content. You outsource content ideation to ChatGPT.
Or worse, you generate generic AI ChatGPT posts that nuke your reputation (and sound "cringe").
The key is to understand your specific writing style and/or to imitate and learn from viral accounts in your niche that you like (and that you would want to sound more like).
3. Low conversion:
Your posts aren't getting you clients and leads.
You are not generating deals and opportunities like you should, because your content is not made for conversion. There are people with 10,000+ followers unable to get 2 qualified leads per month. And then there are people with 500-700 followers getting 20-30 leads per month.
Tip: Lead magnets are the most powerful way to turn strangers into leads/clients (e.g. PDFs on using AI in your niche, free 1:1 audits, etc.)
4. Weak ICP and content:
Your message isn't connecting with your ideal customer avatar (ICP).
Your posts are not answering their questions and addressing their pain points. You are not on top of (relevant) trends. You do not have a well-defined client avatar in mind.
In the last 6 years I've worked with 130+ founders and agencies. I helped them grow their personal brands by fixing the above mentioned problems. I can help you, as well.
A couple of wins in 2026 include:
- 3x the amount of inbound leads for a 7-figure GTM Clay agency in less than 3 months on LinkedIn
- Helped an e-commerce expert build a personal brand and go from 0 - 3754 followers on Twitter/X in his niche in 4 months
- Helped an AI startup founder on both LinkedIn + Twitter/X with over 70K total followers increase their post impressions by over 400%
One of my all-time favourite reviews:
“Total game-changer for my personal brand. It's refreshing to see real results. He understand how to create content ideas that works for your niche, get your stories/ideas across in your own voice and most importantly - GET LEADS!
Would highly recommend.”
If you have any other questions - feel free to send me a message!
Best regards,
Noel
P.S.
What we do:
1) Done-for-you LinkedIn and Twitter/X ghostwriting and engagement
2) LinkedIn and Twitter/X content conversion for getting more inbound leads
3) Lead magnets (PDFs, Claude skills, AI agents...) to give out to your followers
4) Personal brand strategy and positioning
5) 1:1 weekly consulting

I'll build you AI automation & sales systems that actually move the needle.
» Full client acquisition system driving 90 appts & $54K revenue (US local business)
» Personalized influencer outbound system for e-commerce protein brand (500K+ packs sold)

Some of my clients' quotes:
✅ "He's worth every penny, and we're already planning our next projects together."
✅ "Lovre was unbelievably helpful!"
✅ "He obviously knows his stuff when it comes to AI automation."
✅ "He had a lot of good ideas and helped make the project very successful."
✅ "Fantastic work and I can highly recommend him."
We might be a great fit if you're thinking:
🎯 "I know AI automation could help us scale, but I don't have time to figure it out myself"
🎯 "I don't want to manage another tool — I want a partner who handles the entire AI automation for me"
🎯 "We're doing outreach manually and it's eating up hours every single day"
🎯 "I know cold email works for others but I haven't tried it"
🎯 "My competitors are using AI and I feel like we're falling behind"
🎯 "Our lead gen is inconsistent — some months are great, others are dead"
🎯 "Everyone's talking about AI but I have no idea where to start"
Working with me, you will:
✔️ Get a done-for-you outbound systems that book qualified appointments while you sleep
✔️ Stop wasting hours on repetitive tasks — I'll automate them with n8n, Claude Code, Make & other AI
✔️ Have a B2B lead gen engine built on solid infrastructure, email deliverability, and personalization at scale
✔️ Get data-driven systems — not guesswork — built by someone with an MSc in Data Science
✔️ Own the entire system when we're done
We're probably NOT a good fit if:
🚫 Your main filter is the lowest rate
🚫 You want a task-taker, not a thinking AI automation expert
🚫 You want to micro-manage every step of the process, without giving me room to do what I do best
🚫 Your business isn't at the stage where investing in AI automation makes sense yet
