PostedIn short: Quotem helps founders and consultants become known for what they know. It suggests what to talk about each week from your business, the news and what people search for. You talk for a few minutes, and Quotem writes LinkedIn posts, an article ready for search, a newsletter, quote cards and subtitled clips in your own voice. You check every piece, then post from the calendar.
Be known on LinkedIn for what you know.
On LinkedIn, people check the person before they check the company. The ones who get remembered show up every week, have a view when something happens, and sound like themselves. That's hard to keep up on your own. With Quotem it takes about fifteen minutes a week.
Show up every week
One short recording keeps your profile, your site and your list going all week, so you never go quiet for a month.
Have a view first
The news on your topics is waiting when you open Quotem. Record your take the same day and look like you're on top of things, because you are.
Sound like yourself
Every line comes from what you actually said, kept in your voice. Nothing about your expertise is made up, and nothing goes out until you approve it.

What you already have
Podcasts, webinars, YouTube videos, slide decks and documents. Quotem finds the good bits and writes them up in your voice.
It sounds like you, because it is you.
Quotem only works from what you said. It builds a voice profile from how you talk, and you check every piece before it goes anywhere.
What you said
Right, so, um, most of my clients come to me with no ad budget at all, which, honestly, is fine. Er, where do I start. We start with the people. The founder, the sales lead, whoever talks to customers every week. Sorry, that's a tangent, but their profiles reach further than the company page ever will.

How much of my time does it take?

How do I become a thought leader on LinkedIn without writing?

Will it sound like AI?

Does it post for me?

Can I bring in things I've already said?
