Pick Alex Hormozi if…

  • You sell to founders or entrepreneurs. Hormozi's mindset and business strategy pillars (scaling, acquisitions, sales) map directly to ICP pain.

Steal from Alex Hormozi
  • End every post with a single-word or two-word vulnerable question ('agree?', 'thoughts?', 'unpopular?'). Hormozi's top hook 'I will die on this hill...' hit 13,924 engagements because it invites disagreement, not just consumption.
  • Post 3-4x more frequently than you think necessary. Hormozi's 15.4 posts/week means his ideas compound; even mediocre posts get distribution because volume beats perfection.
  • Lead with contrarian takes, not credentials. 'I will die on this hill...' works because it signals conviction, not authority. Readers engage with opinions they can debate, not facts they must accept.
Allie K. MillerPick Allie K. Miller if…
  • You want to own a technical niche. Allie's insider access to OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google positions her as the go-to for AI agent strategy.
  • You need posts that survive beyond the feed. Allie's numbered lists and case studies get saved, shared in Slack, and referenced weeks later.
  • You prefer quality over quantity. Allie's 4.3 posts/week allows deeper research and real-world testing before publishing, building trust over volume.
Steal from Allie K. Miller
  • Use the 'Some will X, then Y. Others will X, then Z' reframe to teach without preaching. This pattern appears in Allie's top hook (2040 engagements) and forces readers to choose a camp, creating internal debate.
  • Name-drop insider access early ('Last week I met with Anthropic and OpenAI and Google'). This signals authority without claiming it and gives readers permission to trust the insight that follows.
  • Pair every contrarian take with a real-world case study (IKEA, Anthropic). Allie's 568 engagements per post are lower than Hormozi's, but her saves and shares are higher because numbered lists + examples = reference material.
The real lesson

Hormozi wins on engagement velocity because he treats LinkedIn as a conversation engine, not a publishing platform. His 'agree?' hook works because it lowers the bar to reply—you don't need to write a paragraph, just validate or push back. Allie wins on trust and saveability because she treats LinkedIn as a teaching platform, backing every claim with insider access or numbered proof. The meta-lesson: if you want growth, pick Hormozi's cadence and vulnerable questions. If you want authority and reference traffic, pick Allie's case studies and insider positioning. The real win is combining both: post frequently like Hormozi, but make each post as teachable as Allie's. Most creators do neither.
