Let’s talk about the best sales strategy no one calls ā€œsalesā€:

Content-Led Growth.

Solo founders don’t have sales teams.
But what you have is even better:
You have your voice.

This week, we’re ditching traditional selling,
and learning how to attract customers instead by creating valuable content.

This is the system I’d use today if I had zero customers and 30 days to get revenue.

Here’s the blueprint šŸ‘‡

šŸ“ˆ Why Content-Led Growth Beats Selling:

Traditional selling:

  • Cold outreach, pitches, rejection

  • You chase them (exhausting)

Content-led growth:

  • Valuable insights, storytelling, authenticity

  • They come to you (energizing)

If you’re not naturally ā€œsalesyā€, that’s great news.
You don’t need to sell harder.
You need to attract smarter.

šŸ“ 5 Content Types Every Solo Founder Should Publish:

Here’s exactly what to publish to attract your ideal customers without begging for business:

1. Proof of Expertise

  • Threads or posts breaking down something specific you've accomplished.

  • (Ex: How I built a landing page that converted at 30%)

2. Actionable Tutorials

  • Quick wins your audience can implement immediately.

  • (Ex: Build your first Notion dashboard in 10 minutes)

3. Pain Point Stories

  • Speak directly to your customers’ frustrations.

  • (Ex: Why your funnel isn't converting—and how to fix it)

4. Product Journeys

  • Transparent updates on what you’re building, including wins and fails.

  • (Ex: How I went from 0 to 100 paying users in 30 days)

5. Curated Resources

  • Share useful tools, articles, templates, and guides your audience loves.

  • (Ex: 10 tools every solo founder needs in 2025)

šŸ—“ļø The Solo Founder Content Calendar (That Actually Drives Sales):

Here’s a dead-simple weekly posting schedule that works across LinkedIn, Threads, Twitter, or newsletters:

  • Monday: Actionable tutorial (quick win)

  • Wednesday: Pain point story (address frustrations)

  • Friday: Product journey or weekly reflection (build trust)

Patty’s Pro Tip:
Always end your content with a subtle, genuine CTA:

  • ā€œWant more? Reply or DM me.ā€

  • ā€œBuilding something similar? Let’s chat.ā€

    šŸš€ Real Founders Winning with Content-Led Growth:

    • Justin Welsh: Built a 7-figure solopreneur business purely through consistent LinkedIn content. No sales calls, just inbound traffic.

    • Dan Koe: Turned his Twitter threads into multiple six-figure income streams. All organic, zero paid ads.

    • Marie Poulin: Grew a massive Notion-based course business purely through tutorials and resources she shared openly.

    These founders didn’t cold-call or pitch relentlessly.
    They shared, attracted, and converted effortlessly.

Final Thought:

Stop thinking you have to be a salesperson.
Start thinking like a publisher.

When you lead with generosity and real value,
you don’t chase customers—
you create believers.

This is your sign to stop selling and start attracting.
