Mischa Collins

Mischa Collins is a UK-based LinkedIn creator and entrepreneur who grew from 0 to 50K+ followers in roughly 18 months after being laid off from her marketing job in 2024. She is the founder of “Become Your PB,” runs a ghostwriting agency, co-teaches the $2,950 “Level Up on LinkedIn Accelerator” cohort on Maven with Courtney Johnson, and has stacked four revenue streams (brand deals, coaching, ghostwriting, cohorts) on top of one LinkedIn audience. Her career path before LinkedIn: fashion to tech sales (SDR at 26) to marketing manager at 27 (a startup founder discovered her through her LinkedIn posts) to laid off at 29 to freelance creator at 30. Part of the UK-leaning LinkedIn creator peer group that includes Charlie Hills, Lara Acosta, Anisha Jain, Harry Phokou, Ethan Golding, and Joe M-C; they met in person at the LinkedIn Influencer House in Mexico with Corey Blumenfeld.

Key Patterns

  • The viral content was the honest one: she posted about her layoff and signed her first two freelance clients from that single post
  • Posted for three years with zero strategy and zero followers before going “all in” produced asymmetric returns: more growth in 90 days than the previous three years combined
  • Treats LinkedIn as a revenue engine, not a vanity project, with explicit CRM infrastructure (Folk) to track conversations
  • Stacks multiple revenue streams (brand deals, coaching, ghostwriting agency, cohort courses) on top of one audience instead of optimizing a single offer
  • Values the peer-creator network as much as the audience: names six creators by name in her milestone post about what LinkedIn actually gave her
