Let’s double-click on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is a great place to create content for:

👉 lead generation – bring back the right people to your product

👉 audience building – build an audience on the platform

👉 brand-building – build your company’s brand on and off the platform

This ☝️ is especially true for a product/company that is – niche, technical, and professional.

And if the person you want to target is – at a leadership position.

Investment in digital assets for HNIs and Family Office is right in this mix.

Now that we’ve figured out the why, let's look at the – who , what , and how.

→ Who do we create the content for?

→ What kind of content do we create?

→ How do we create the content?

Goals with the content:

• Write content to attract the ICPs

• Build the BRC brand image

• Increase WoM traction for BRC

⁠

Who do we create the content for?

The content should be created for someone in a leadership position within the company. Someone who’s profile has pedigree. “This is the kind of person I want to speak to,” is what the reader should say when reading the posts.

Based on this ☝️ we should focus on writing content for the following profiles:

⁠

⁠

Leadership position ✅

Worth speaking to ✅

Creator Mode ⏳

Premium ⏳

Premium ✅

Pro-tip: Get LinkedIn premium so you can track the conversion from: reading your content → viewing your profile. This lead (if with the ICP) is now warm and can be approached.

⁠

What kind of content do we create?

The kind of content that works on LinkedIn is – cringe gyaan, news breakdowns, analysis and research, and shitposts

Research and analysis

“In the past 12 months, Ethereum L2s have outperformed the base chain in terms of transactions”

Cringe gyaan

“Today my boss didn’t give me a promotion, it was the best day ever.”

News breakdowns

“Polygon just rebranded to POL from MATIC, here’s what it means”

Memes and shitposting

“Imagine if Elon Musk actually lands up on the moon (instead of Mars) with a dogecoin flag”

Thought pieces

“The problem with digital asset adoption among HNIs is not regulation, or lack thereof. It’s education.”

We should focus on – news breakdowns, research and analysis, and thought pieces.

For instance:

Thought pieces

Alternative Investments & Digital Assets- Lack of Education

One thing I continue to hear from wealth managers and RIA's is that there is increased demand for alternatives from their clients.

The other big thing I hear is that they lack a good alternatives platform. They lack education on alternatives. The operational lift of onboarding alternative funds, the operational lift of reporting, and the lack of education around proper diversification and handling the illiquidity of alternatives is the consistent message I hear.

If you are building an alternatives platform or solving the operational headache or the educational needs, I'd love to hear more.

Research and analysis

Ghosts of cycles past? History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.

Crypto cycles have shown remarkable consistency since inception, and we are seeing the same dynamics playing out in the current cycle.

Each cycle may appear chaotic to the naked eye, but there are three primary structural drivers:

1. Leverage, enthusiasm, and speculation

2. Innovation & product development

3. The business cycle (interest rates, monetary policy, global liquidity)

As noted in the chart via Delphi Digital each of the last three business cycles has lined up almost perfectly with the price peaks of the last three crypto market cycles.

Which also corresponds with peaks in active addresses, TVL, transaction volumes, and revenues.

Where are we at today?

The business cycle appears to be turning.

When we combine this with a deep understanding of the innovation cycle (which is far less volatile, yet unseen to the naked eye), as well as market sentiment, human behavior, forthcoming regulation, integration with TradFi, the Bitcoin halving, etc.

News breakdowns

This investment bank expects Bitcoin to rocket by 300% in the next year. But they’ve been wrong twice before. Is the third time the charm:

Standard Chartered, the British multinational bank with over $820 billion in AUM just made a bold Bitcoin price prediction.

Here it is:

🗓️ December 2023: $50,000

🗓️ December 2024: $120,000

The reason – An incoming Bitcoin supply crunch.

The bank’s analysts expect – Bitcoin miners to increase profitability based on:

Rising BTC prices

Falling electricity costs

Flat milk prices (totally unrelated)

This increasing miner profitability will cause a – BTC supply crunch.

Here’s how:

📉 Bitcoin’s price is rising + electricity costs are dropping

📉 Miners will sell less BTC to cover expenses

📉 Miners will cause a supply crunch

📉 Bitcoin’s price will rise

Miners mine about ~900 new BTC a day. And right now they are selling 100% of these new coins.

📈 That’s about 900 BTC a day ($27 million)

📈 Or 6,300 a week ($189 million)

📈 Or 27,000 a month ($810 million)

📈 Or 328,500 a year ($9.8 billion)

If Bitcoin's price increases to $50,000, miners will need to sell only 20-30% of their new coins decreasing yearly BTC sold from – 328,500 BTC/year to < 100,000 BTC/year.

And cause a severe supply crunch. 🫢

How do we create the content?

We create content like these using two rules:

Rule #1: The AIDA formula.

A → Attention

I → Interest

D → Desire

A → Action

This is a tried and tested copywriting formula for putting together any post on any platform with the goal of getting someone to do something.

Meet Kishan Shah.

He is 64-year-old Indian crorepati based in Surat, Gujarat. Here’s how he invests his money:

• Equities and bonds – 25%

• Property – 50%

• Gold and precious metals – 15%

• Other household items – 9%

The remaining 1%?

He put it in Bitcoin as a way to diversify his assets. He did this way back in 2016.

So, he must be sitting on a decent profit right?

No. The problem was – Mr. Kishan invested his money with a local vendor who neither had the infrastructure nor followed the right compliance norms. He simply used a market order on the exchange to make the transaction.

The problem was – the exchange went down with Mr. Kishan’s investment.

The vendor was later caught by the police and is accused of being involved in several ICO scams in the state of Gujarat.

This highlights two problems and two wants for HNIs.

The problems are:

1. Lack of infrastructure

2. Lack of trust

This should not stop individuals from accessing the digital assets industry.

HNI – BRC – Liquidity Provider.

For @Nikhil Gupta – drop in your questions/concerns/doubts here, and I’ll address them:

How many posts will we be writing a week?

Three posts a week for each profile (Sharan and Sriram). The reason for this low volume is – we’re new, and LinkedIn’s algorithm is designed for content with a high shelf life.

What is our current CTA?

Our current CTA (call to action) will be the beehiiv newsletter for email capture.

⁠

Let’s double click on Twitter.

Twitter is a great place to create content for:

brand building – build a brand that’s trusted

share research – share investment research

build an audience – build an audience on the platform

This is true if your company is in a niche and technical field.

The difference is – we will be creating the content from the company’s account i.e. from

Brown Rice Capital ⁠

– and not from the founders’ profiles.

This means:

The content will not be opinion-based

We will not write “thought pieces”

We will only present facts and news stories as is

Goals with the content:

• Get people to know about the BRC brand

• Increase WoM traction

• Show affiliation with the founders
