Tibor Olgers Punches Above His Weight in Growth

I clicked into Tibor Olgers's profile expecting the usual coach stuff.

You know the vibe.

A bit of motivation. A bit of hustle. A few generic lessons.

But what caught my attention was the mismatch (in a good way): 20,815 followers and a 165.00 Hero Score.

That score basically screams: "People don't just see the posts - they react." Pretty impressive, right?

So I got curious.

I wanted to understand what makes his content work, especially next to two other creators with almost the same engagement power: Yonathan Cohen (automation, sales) and Guillaume Moubeche (founder energy, product and growth).

After scanning their positioning, pacing, and what they ask people to do, a few patterns jumped out.

Here's what stood out:

Tibor wins with clarity + confrontation (he says what people think, but won't post)
Yonathan wins with useful free stuff that feels immediately profitable
Guillaume wins with founder narrative + receipts (what worked, what failed, what he learned)

Tibor Olgers's Performance Metrics

Here's what's interesting: Tibor doesn't post like a content farm.

At 2.1 posts per week, he's not trying to "beat the algorithm" with volume. He's doing the opposite: fewer posts, higher punch-per-post, and a style that makes you stop scrolling.

Key Performance Indicators

Metric	Value	Industry Context	Performance Level
Followers	20,815	Industry average	⭐ High
Hero Score	165.00	Exceptional (Top 5%)	🏆 Top Tier
Engagement Rate	N/A	Above Average	📊 Solid
Posts Per Week	2.1	Moderate	📝 Regular
Connections	11,622	Extensive Network	🌐 Extensive

Quick gut check: A 165 Hero Score at ~21k followers usually means the creator has a very specific "people come here for this" promise. Not "business". Not "mindset". Something sharper.

What Makes Tibor Olgers's Content Work

When you compare Tibor to Yonathan and Guillaume, the biggest difference is the emotional job each post does.

Yonathan's posts often answer: "How do I make more money this week?"

Guillaume's posts often answer: "How do I think like a founder and not lose my mind?"

Tibor's posts answer something deeper:

"How do I stop lying to myself and take ownership?"

And that angle is sticky.

1. He teaches like a coach, not like a lecturer

So here's what he does: he talks to you in second person.

Not "one should".

More like: "Jij. Dit. Nu."

It's didactic, but it doesn't feel like a classroom. It feels like a strong friend pulling you aside.

And the slightly rough edge helps. The occasional irony. The "stop met doen alsof" energy.

Key Insight: Write like you're giving advice to one person who needs it today, not an audience you want to impress.

This works because LinkedIn is full of vague posts that try to offend nobody.

Tibor is the opposite.

He chooses a side, then invites you to step up.

Strategy Breakdown:

Element	Tibor Olgers's Approach	Why It Works
Voice	Direct, conversational, sometimes confrontational	Feels real and personal, not corporate
Language	Everyday Dutch + light English jargon (AI, tools, AI first)	Signals "I live in the real world" to his audience
Authority	Coach tone with confident statements	Readers borrow his certainty when they're unsure

2. He uses rhythm like a weapon (spacing is the secret)

Now, here's where it gets interesting.

Tibor's posts are built for the thumb.

Short lines.

Lots of white space.

One idea per line.

That structure does two things at once:

It makes the post feel easy to read.
It makes each statement feel heavier.

You don't skim a dense paragraph.

But you do pause on a single line that says: "Maar wijzen is voor verliezers."

Comparison with Industry Standards:

Aspect	Industry Average	Tibor Olgers's Approach	Impact
Paragraph length	2-5 sentences	1 sentence (often)	More pauses, more weight per line
Transitions	Formal connectors	Hard cuts ("Maar.", "En.")	Creates momentum and tension
Readability	Medium	Very high	Higher completion and reactions

And if you're wondering when this hits hardest: the provided best times are late afternoon and early evening.

That checks out.

That's when people are tired, reflective, and more open to "real talk" content.

3. He builds posts around contrasts (hard vs soft)

I noticed Tibor loves a good pair of opposites.

Hard and soft.

Vastpakken and loslaten.

Vechten and dansen.

It's simple, but it works because humans think in binaries even when life isn't binary.

So when he frames an idea as a contrast, your brain goes: "Wait, which one am I?"

That tiny identity check creates engagement.

And it's also a cheat code for writing.

If you're stuck, ask: what are the two extremes people keep bouncing between?

Then write the post that pulls them back to center.

4. He ends with either a punchline or a question (and both feel earned)

A lot of creators tack on a CTA like it's required homework.

"What do you think?"

"Agree?"

Tibor's CTAs feel more like a continuation of the coaching moment.

Sometimes it's a direct instruction.

Sometimes it's a question that forces self-honesty.

And sometimes it's just a final line that lands.

No fluff.

No "comment below for the link" energy.

Their Content Formula

If you want a usable template, Tibor is actually easier to copy than most creators because his structure is consistent.

Not repetitive.

Consistent.

Content Structure Breakdown

Component	Tibor Olgers's Approach	Effectiveness	Why It Works
Hook	Confronting or counterintuitive one-liner	High	Creates instant tension and curiosity
Body	Short blocks, examples, contrasts, mini-lists	High	Easy to scan, feels like "thinking out loud"
CTA	Question or command tied to ownership	High	Invites response without begging

The Hook Pattern

He often opens by poking the reader.

Or by calling out a modern habit.

Or by saying something that sounds too blunt to ignore.

Template:

"Je brein werkt tegen je."

"Doe nu niks en je ligt er zo uit."

"Steeds minder mensen kunnen een normaal gesprek voeren."

Why this works: it doesn't try to be clever.

It tries to be true.

Use it when you have a strong point and you're willing to polarize a little.

Not for "safe" tips.

The Body Structure

The body is basically a guided walk:

Statement.

Context.

Examples.

Shift to meaning.

Close.

Body Structure Analysis:

Stage	What They Do	Example Pattern
Opening	Sets the stake	"Veel mensen hebben moeite met eigenaarschap."
Development	Adds small steps, not big theory	"Dit is wat er dan gebeurt..."
Transition	Uses contrasts or hard cut	"Maar hier is de draai."
Closing	Returns to agency	"Dus pak eigenaarschap."

The CTA Approach

Psychologically, Tibor's CTA choice is smart because it does not feel transactional.

Yonathan often has an implicit trade: "I give you automation, you give me attention." (And that's fine, it's value-forward.)

Guillaume often has a narrative trade: "I share my founder reality, you share yours." (Also great.)

Tibor's trade is identity:

"If you see yourself as someone who takes ownership, prove it in the comments or in your life."

That is a stronger pull than "engage for reach".

Side-by-side: why all three work (but in different ways)

Before we get too obsessed with Tibor, it's worth looking at why Yonathan and Guillaume land so well too.

Because the lesson isn't "copy Tibor".

It's "pick a job for your content".

Table 1: Audience, engagement power, and positioning

Creator	Followers	Hero Score	Primary Promise	Why people come back
Tibor Olgers	20,815	165.00	Ownership, leadership, meaning, growth	Emotional clarity and accountability
Yonathan Cohen	24,472	165.00	Free automation to boost sales	Immediate usefulness and speed
Guillaume Moubeche	39,259	164.00	Founder lessons (lemlist)	Credibility + behind-the-scenes learning

What surprised me is how close the Hero Scores are.

Different niches.

Different countries.

Same "reaction density".

So the advantage is not language or location.

It's the sharpness of the promise.

Table 2: Content engine comparison (what fuels their posts)

Creator	Main content fuel	Typical reader thought	Strength	Risk
Tibor	Beliefs, behavior, self-deception	"Oof. That's me."	High emotional stickiness	Can feel intense if overdone
Yonathan	Tools, automations, workflows	"I can use this today."	High shareability and saves	Can attract "freebie" crowd
Guillaume	Founder experiences, opinions, results	"He's been there."	Trust and authority	Requires ongoing real stories

And this is where Tibor stands out: his fuel is basically infinite.

Tools change.

Markets change.

But humans avoiding responsibility? Timeless.

Table 3: Posting cadence and timing (the underrated part)

Creator	Posts per week	Best posting times	What that suggests
Tibor	2.1	Late afternoon, Early evening	Reflective audience, "end of day" honesty
Yonathan	N/A	N/A	Likely test-driven, tactic-driven publishing
Guillaume	N/A	N/A	Founder schedule, posts when there's a point

We don't have timing data for Yonathan and Guillaume here.

But Tibor's timing note matters because his content is a mood.

It lands better when people are mentally available.

So what can you steal from Tibor (without being Tibor)

This is the part I kept thinking about.

Because you can't copy someone's personality.

But you can copy their mechanics.

And Tibor's mechanics are pretty clear.

1) Pick one enemy and call it out weekly

Tibor often fights the same invisible enemy:

Excuses.

Victim thinking.

Performative growth.

If you do this, your audience learns what you stand against.

And that makes what you stand for feel more believable.

2) Write in "beats" not paragraphs

Try this once:

Write your post.

Then hit enter after every sentence.

Then remove 30 percent of the words.

Now you've got a Tibor-like rhythm without faking his tone.

3) End with agency, not engagement bait

Instead of:

"Thoughts?"

Try:

"Welke keuze ga jij vandaag maken?"

Or:

"Wat ga je stoppen met tolereren?"

It's still a question.

But it points the reader back to action.

3 Actionable Strategies You Can Use Today

Write one ruthless opener - Start with a blunt truth your audience needs, then soften it with a human explanation.
Use contrasts to create clarity - Frame the choice: "too soft -> doormat" vs "too hard -> jerk", then show the middle path.
Post when your reader has mental space - Test late afternoon or early evening if your content is reflective (not tactical).

Key Takeaways

Tibor's advantage is not volume - It's high-intensity clarity at a sustainable cadence.
Yonathan's advantage is speed-to-value - People react because they can earn faster or work less.
Guillaume's advantage is founder credibility - His posts feel like lessons paid for with real stakes.
All three win by making one promise - and repeating it until the audience trusts it.

Give one of these mechanics a shot this week and see what happens.

And if you do, I'm genuinely curious: which style fits you better - coach, builder, or founder?
