Elisa Baas is the founder of Baasin and asks one question in the LinkedIn headline: "Je voorsprong claimen met AI? 👆" (Want to claim your head start with AI?). About 159,000 followers read the answer, in Dutch.
At MagicPost, we analyzed 454 of Elisa Baas's LinkedIn posts from the last two years, plus the personal reflections behind them.
About seven in ten posts carry an offer, and three of the four biggest posts close on the same footer: a link to "Claim hier je voorsprong" (claim your head start here) and a plain request for a comment.
The other outlier is the hook: 24 words, more than double the 11-word norm.
Elisa Baas's story, in the posts
Baas writes far more about AI tools than about personal history, so the self-portrait is short. Three reflective posts and one credential line carry it.
The project in the freezer. In a May 2025 post co-signed with a business partner, Baas looks back: "Ons eerste project was Private Cloud Creator PRO (2022)" (our first project was Private Cloud Creator PRO). Then, candidly: "Het project staat in de ijskast" (the project is on ice).
The second try. The same post names what came next: "Maar uiteindelijk is Baasin en DigitalDon het tweede project waar we het hebben omgedraaid" (in the end Baasin and DigitalDon are the second project, where we turned things around).
It was still built on the first one's knowledge, "Eigen hardware & Open Source Software" (own hardware and open source software).
The hours behind the advice. Baas's biggest post of 2026 opens on a credential: "Ik heb meer dan 500+ uur ervaring met Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini en Grok" (I have more than 500 hours of experience with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok).
The small community with a clover. In July 2026, a badge appeared next to the name on Skool:
"Dat betekent dat ik bij de top 10% earners op Skool hoor. Met een community van 70 leden." (That means I am among the top 10% of earners on Skool. With a community of 70 members.)
The post turns the badge into a question for the whole market: "Is een community met 3.000 leden daadwerkelijk waardevoller dan een community met 70 betrokken mensen?" (Is a community of 3,000 members really worth more than one of 70 engaged people?)
The thinker on truth and machines. A June 2025 reflection argues that people accept a lie without proof yet demand mountains of proof for the truth. AI, it adds, inherits the same bias from its training data.
Its closing image: "Een leugen is een snelle, makkelijke route. De waarheid is een beklimming met hindernissen." (A lie is a fast, easy route; truth, a climb with obstacles.)
What does Elisa Baas post about?
AI is the home base: 207 posts, about 69% of the three leading topics, far ahead of content marketing (49) and AI ethics (45). Two details matter more than the ranking:
Content marketing is the strongest topic: 187 median likes against an overall 157.
AI, the core subject, sits below the overall median at 133 likes. AI ethics comes last, at 120.
When Baas writes about content itself, the audience leans in. Volume and median reach live in different places.
Sorted by register, the feed is commercial and says so. Selling through value is the largest bucket (201 posts), then comment-gated lead magnets (58), useful resources (45) and punchy advice (32).
Add webinar sign-ups (30) and launch announcements (24), and 313 posts, about seven in ten, carry an offer of some kind. The offer rides on usable material: tool lists, decision trees, prompt shortcuts.
Who Elisa Baas writes for
The reader is a Dutch-speaking professional who wants to work faster with AI without becoming a technician.
The posts speak to "jij" (you) directly: "Als jij 1 AI-model als default gebruikt, betaal je vaak met extra rondes" (if you use one AI model by default, you often pay with extra rounds).
The examples point at office work. One post swaps PowerPoint for Gamma, Excel for Julius AI and the keyboard for Wispr Flow. The offers follow: a link to "Claim hier je voorsprong" (claim your head start here), webinars, launches and the Skool community.
Elisa Baas's best posts of 2026
The three biggest posts of 2026 so far, reproduced from our data (click through to the originals, or browse 2M+ posts like these in MagicPost):
2,682 likes. A four-branch decision tree that maps each job to one model: Claude to think, ChatGPT to make, Gemini to research, Grok to act.
About 17 times the median, on the credential of 500+ hours. The mental model fits in three words: "Modelkeuze is taakkeuze" (choosing a model is choosing a task).
2,165 likes. One hundred slash commands for Claude, sorted into ten groups from /ELI5 to /BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS LIKE. The second line asks readers to save the image: a reference sheet built to be kept.
1,632 likes. A five-step breakdown of how an AI video was produced, with the original maker credited by name.
It drew 169 comments, the most of the three, about one for every ten likes: the question in line one ("Kun jij geloven dat dit niet echt is?", can you believe this is not real?) invites an answer.
Is Elisa Baas still growing on LinkedIn?
The trajectory is a volume trade. Output rose from 131 analyzed posts in 2025 to 323 in 2026, about two and a half times as many, while the median post went from 236 likes to 137, a 42% drop.
More posts, each earning less at the median: a common shape when a creator steps up the cadence. The 2026 peaks show the reach is intact, with three posts above 1,600 likes.
Our 2026 rankings place Elisa Baas #17 among the top LinkedIn creators in the Netherlands, a list ranked by median likes per post over the last 12 months.
The medians cover engagement only; follower growth over time is outside our data.

How Elisa Baas writes
Metric (per post) | Elisa Baas | Average creator* |
Words | 353 | 184 |
Words in the hook | 24 | 11 |
Words per paragraph | 13 | 13 |
Words per sentence | 11 | 10 |
Emojis | 3 | 2 |

Hooks built on numbers | 46% | 22% |
*Median across the 3,471 creators in our benchmark.
The hook runs 24 words, more than double the norm, because it works in two beats: a credential, then a promise with a down arrow. "Ik heb meer dan 500+ uur ervaring met Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini en Grok. Dit is mijn snelle AI-tool beslisboom voor 2026👇" is the template.
Nearly half the hooks carry a number ("500+ uur," "8 AI-tools," "100 handige sneltoets-tips"), twice the 22% norm. The posts run almost twice the average length, yet paragraphs and sentences sit right at the benchmark. The extra words are inventory: numbered tools, slash commands, steps.
Two more marks set the page apart. 71% of posts use bold, often the Unicode kind that turns a numbered header into a visual anchor.
And the most frequent emojis after 🔗 are 🚀 and 😊, the two that open and close the footer. Our classifier's one-word label for it: structured.
The "AI tells" in Elisa Baas's style (read this the right way)
Among the patterns people now call "AI tells," one stands out in these posts:
A third of the posts (33%) use the here-is announcement, the line that promises a list and points down at it: "Dit is de beslisboom 👇" (this is the decision tree). It is the only device at "characteristic" level.
Next comes the contrast formula in 27% of posts: "De grootste tijdwinst zit niet in betere prompts. Die zit in sneller het juiste brein kiezen." (The biggest time saving comes from picking the right brain faster, rather than from better prompts.) A generic advice frame shows up in a fifth.
Educators like Elisa Baas had the list announcement first. Generic AI picked it up from writers who deliver in steps and now uses it everywhere.
Here it does a job: the arrow tells a Dutch reader that four branches or a hundred shortcuts are coming.
And the filler stays out. Hedging appears in one post out of the 30-post sample, and the "Moreover" style transition opener never appears at all. (More on the patterns: how to spot AI writing on LinkedIn.)
When does Elisa Baas post on LinkedIn?
Baas publishes about 6 times a week, favorite slot Wednesday at 7 AM Amsterdam time. 84% of posts go out in the morning, and 26% land on weekends, so the feed keeps moving on Saturdays and Sundays too.
That early window catches readers before the workday starts, and our Dutch timing data breaks that window down for the Netherlands. For the cadence itself, see our posting-frequency study.
The footer asks for comments, and a median of 16 come in per post. An engagement feed brings each new Baas post to you the morning it goes out.
What to steal from Elisa Baas
Open with a credential, then a promise. "500+ uur ervaring" before the decision tree: 24 words that earn the click.
Give the reference sheet. One hundred Claude shortcuts in ten groups, built to be kept.
Map tools to jobs, not rankings. "Modelkeuze is taakkeuze" turned four chatbots into one decision a reader can reuse.
Sign every post the same way. Three of the top four 2026 posts: same link, comment request, first name.
Question the vanity number. The 70-member community post asks whether size equals quality.
