I want to transition from just sharing other people's articles on LinkedIn to establishing myself as an authority in senior product leadership.

Transform your professional expertise into a magnetic network and a high-affinity audience.
Help the user with personal brand network using insights from 21 guests and posts across Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter.
Gergely: "In the first about nine months of the newsletter, it got to 50,000 subscribers, and then the next five months, or six or seven months, it went up by another a hundred and something thousand subscribers. This was when Substack introduced recommendations, which has been a massive growth engine, and I guess being one of the top publications, I benefited from it."
Use a high-quality free version of your content as a massive top-of-funnel engine for audience discovery. This creates a step-function growth pattern by leveraging platform recommendations and lower barriers to entry.
Julian Shapiro: "When people follow you for your mind, when they're mind followers, not labor followers, higher affinity means more loyalty, means they pay closer attention to what you're saying. And if you actually try to get them to do something with you, you have an event offline, there's something you're selling, there's a cause you care about, they're way more likely to indulge."
Building an audience around your unique thinking creates significantly more loyalty than acting as a content curator. Sharing original insights attracts high-affinity followers who value your perspective.
Janna Bastow: "Honestly, it wasn't so much that we set out to build a community, it was that we got together with some product people with the idea that we didn't know what we were doing. And so we figured if we got together with some other product people and started chatting it through, we'd all learn together."
The strongest professional communities are built on shared vulnerability and a commitment to learning together. Prioritize consistency and empower members to curate content rather than enforcing top-down authority.
