Voice & tone
Direct, declarative, and slightly provocative without being reckless. He speaks as someone who has already solved the problem and is now explaining why everyone else is still stuck. The tone is confident but not arrogant—he uses phrases like 'That's why they stay stuck' and 'That's wrong' to signal clarity, not condescension. He favors short sentences that land like statements of fact.
Signature phrases
- “That's why they stay stuck.”
- “That's wrong.”
- “No more guessing.”
- “This is not [surface thing]. This is [real thing].”
- “Most [audience] still [outdated behavior].”
- “Scaling is about decision quality.”

NEVER hire Media Buyers again the NEW Claude Skills replaces an entire Meta ads research and creative team. Most agencies and founders still struggle with Meta ads. Not because they are bad at ads. Because they are guessing. They do not know why campaigns stall. They do not know which creatives are actually winning. They keep tweaking budgets instead of fixing the real problem. So performance stays flat. Claude just changed that. There is now a Skills folder for Meta Ads that does the work for you. No API keys. No code. No setup nightmare. You drop the folder into Claude. Connect your Meta ad account. Ask what is wrong. It reads the skill and fixes your ads. What it does: • Finds why your Meta ads are underperforming • Flags mistakes inside Advantage+ campaigns • Scores creatives and explains why they work or fail • Writes scroll-stopping hooks and ad copy • Builds better audiences using your customer data • Shows what to scale and what to kill This is not copywriting AI. This is execution-level ads intelligence. No more guessing. No more random testing. No more burning ad spend. I’m sharing the full Meta Ads Skills folder for free. Want it? 1. Connect with me 2. Comment 'CLAUDE' below I’ll send it straight to your DMs.
'NEVER hire Media Buyers again' uses all caps on the action verb and a categorical claim that immediately triggers debate. The reader either agrees (and wants to know how) or disagrees (and reads to argue), both outcomes drive engagement.
Opens with hook, then problem diagnosis (most agencies guess, don't know why campaigns stall), then solution introduction (Claude Skills folder), then feature list in bullets, then benefit restatement (no more guessing), then soft CTA (Want it? Connect with me).
- Repetition of negation: 'They do not know why. They do not know which.' Creates rhythm and emphasis.
- Contrast between activity and outcome: 'they keep tweaking budgets instead of fixing the real problem' shows the reader is busy but ineffective.
- Specificity in features: 'Finds why your Meta ads are underperforming' vs generic 'improves ads' makes the tool feel diagnostic, not generic.
- Execution-level framing: 'This is not copywriting AI. This is execution-level ads intelligence.' Positions the tool as strategic, not a toy.
Soft CTA ('Want it? 1. Connect with me 2. ...') creates low friction and invites action without pressure. The open loop (ellipsis) forces readers to comment to see the full steps, driving comment engagement.
Use negation and contrast to show the reader they're stuck, then position your solution as the escape hatch, not an upgrade.
R.I.P Media Buyers Claude 4.6 + Adden AI just replaced an entire performance marketing team. Most advertisers believe scaling ads comes down to: More creatives More budget More tests That’s why most accounts never scale. Because scaling is not about activity. It’s about dec…
'R.I.P Media Buyers' is a funeral metaphor that signals finality and inevitability. The brevity (3 words) makes it punchy and quotable, increasing repost likelihood.
Hook, then belief reframe (scaling is not about activity, it's about decision quality), then diagnostic list (what teams can't explain), then solution stack (Claude + Adden), then feature bullets, then incomplete close (truncated in data).
- Metaphor consistency: 'R.I.P' sets a tone of replacement that carries through the post.
- Inversion of conventional wisdom: 'Scaling is not about activity. It's about decision quality.' Flips reader assumptions.
- Unified diagnosis: The 'They can't explain' list creates a single point of pain that the stack solves.
- Tool pairing: Claude + Adden are presented as complementary (Claude handles reasoning, Adden connects data), making the stack feel complete.
Post ends mid-sentence (truncated), which likely continues with a CTA. The truncation itself may drive comments as readers ask for the full post.
Use a metaphor in your hook and sustain it through the post to create coherence and memorability.
R.I.P LinkedIn Algorithm. Claude 4.6 just broke it. Most people are still trying to “hack” LinkedIn with random posts and recycled hooks. That’s why they stay stuck. Low reach. Low engagement. Zero inbound. Claude 4.6 changes the game when you use it properly. Not as a writ…
'R.I.P LinkedIn Algorithm' uses the same funeral format as post 2, but applies it to the platform itself rather than a role. This signals that the creator has found a workaround to the algorithm, not just a tool.
Hook, then problem diagnosis (people hack LinkedIn with random posts, stay stuck), then solution framing (Claude 4.6 as growth engine, not writing toy), then system breakdown (7 bullet points of what Claude does), then contrast (Post → Hope → Wait vs Optimize → Publish → Convert → Scale), then incomplete close.
- Distinction between tool and system: 'Not as a writing toy. As a LinkedIn growth engine.' Elevates the positioning.
- Comprehensive system breakdown: Lists 7 specific functions (profile optimization, content strategy, hook engineering, outbound automation, competitor intelligence) to show depth.
- Outcome-focused bullets: Each bullet starts with a verb and outcome ('Reviews and optimises your LinkedIn profile for conversion') rather than feature.
- Process visualization: The before/after (Post → Hope → Wait vs Optimize → Publish → Convert → Scale) makes the transformation concrete.
Post is truncated, but the structure suggests a CTA to access the system or connect. The comprehensive breakdown builds desire before the ask.
Break down your system into specific, outcome-focused functions and contrast the old process with the new one to make transformation visible.
What drives their engagement
Open loops and incomplete CTAs force readers to comment to see the full post or ask for access. The diagnostic framing ('They can't explain...') also invites readers to comment with their own pain points, creating a conversation rather than a broadcast.
Bold contrarian claims and metaphors (R.I.P, NEVER hire) are quotable and signal insider knowledge, making readers want to share them as proof of their own sophistication. The before/after process visualization is also highly shareable.
Low. Eduardo optimizes for reach and engagement (comments and reposts), not saves. His posts are designed to spark conversation and drive traffic to his systems, not to be reference material.

Hook patterns
Bold Contrarian Obituary
R.I.P [traditional role/concept]. [New tool] just replaced it.
“NEVER hire Media Buyers again. the NEW Claude Skills replaces an entire Meta ads research and creative team.”
→ Declares obsolescence immediately, triggering cognitive dissonance that forces readers to engage and defend or learn.
Problem Reframe
Most [audience] believe [common assumption]. That's why [negative outcome]. The real issue is [counterintuitive truth].
“Most advertisers believe scaling ads comes down to: More creatives. More budget. More tests. That's why most accounts never scale. Because scaling is not about activity. It's about decision quality.”
→ Validates reader experience, then flips the frame to position the creator as the one who understands the real lever.
Proof-Anchored Giveaway
Giving away [system] I used to [specific revenue outcome].
“Giving away EVERYTHING I used this year to SCALE to 50k a month (and generated north of $1.7M in client revenue)”
→ Anchors generosity to proof, making the offer feel credible rather than promotional.
Capability Shock
[Tool] just [broke/changed] [platform/process]. Most people are still [outdated behavior].
“Claude 4.6 just broke it. Most people are still trying to 'hack' LinkedIn with random posts and recycled hooks.”
→ Creates urgency by suggesting the reader is behind, while positioning the creator as ahead of the curve.
Diagnostic Question
They can't explain: [list of unknowns]. So they guess.
“They can't explain: Why performance suddenly drops. Which creatives are real winners vs short-term spikes. When to scale budgets without killing performance.”
→ Builds tension by naming blind spots the reader likely has, making the solution feel necessary rather than optional.
Before/After System
Instead of: [old process]. You get: [new process].
“Instead of: Post → Hope → Wait. You get: Optimize → Publish → Convert → Scale.”
→ Visualizes transformation in a way that's easy to remember and share.

What works
- Bold contrarian hooks (NEVER hire, R.I.P) average 2258 engagement when used as contrarian claims, vs 934 for standard bold statements. The specificity of the claim (not just 'AI is powerful' but 'AI replaces this specific role') drives debate.
- Problem-solution format dominates at 67% of posts with 1038 avg engagement. The structure works because it validates reader pain before offering relief, building trust.
- Diagnostic lists ('They can't explain: Why performance drops. Which creatives are real winners.') create tension and position the creator as the one who understands what others miss.
- Bullet lists with CTAs average 1260 engagement despite being only 5% of posts, suggesting they're high-leverage when used. The CTA drives action, not just passive reading.
- Process visualization (Instead of X, you get Y) is memorable and quotable, increasing repost likelihood.
- Proof anchoring (generated $1.7M in client revenue, scaled to 50k/month) makes claims credible and positions the creator as someone who has walked the path.
Steal this for your own LinkedIn
- Start with a bold contrarian claim that reframes a common assumption as obsolete. Use all caps on the action verb (NEVER, R.I.P) to signal finality.
- After the hook, immediately diagnose the reader's pain with a problem reframe: 'Most [audience] believe [assumption]. That's why [outcome]. The real issue is [counterintuitive truth].'
- Break down your solution into specific, outcome-focused bullets that start with verbs. Avoid feature lists; focus on what the reader can now do or understand.
- Use a before/after process visualization (Instead of X, you get Y) to make transformation concrete and memorable.
- End with a soft CTA that invites action without pressure, or use an open loop (ellipsis, truncation) that forces readers to comment to see the full post.
- Post on Wednesday at 2 PM UTC and aim for 180-350 words to match his engagement sweet spot.

Eduardo's 67% problem-solution format works because his audience (solopreneurs and small business owners) are stuck and need validation before they'll listen to a solution. The remaining 33% (stories, lists, giveaways) provides variety and keeps the feed from feeling repetitive. The high conversation index (74.4%) shows his audience wants to engage, not just consume, so his open loops and diagnostic framing are designed to spark dialogue rather than passive scrolling.
