\r\n

Step 1: Optimize Your Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

When people look at your profile, they decide whether you\u2019re worth connecting with in several seconds. These are the questions that go through their head when making this decision:<\/p>\r\n

Do they look like a domain expert?<\/em> Do they look like a leader?<\/em> Can they help me?<\/em><\/p>\r\n

If you can trigger a \u201cyes\u201d to each one, then you can connect with venture capitalists, Fortune 500 founders, and thought leaders \u2013 at scale.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Your Profile Photo<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n
It starts with the headshot because people mentally digest pictures before they even read. You don\u2019t need anything over the top.\r\n

As long as the viewer believes you put in the effort to take a professional headshot, then you\u2019ve increased your add-back percentage. What\u2019s your add-back percentage?<\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s the percentage of the connection requests you send out that get accepted.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

You can create an automatic human connection by simply smiling, it makes you feel inviting and you appear friendly off the bat.\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Make sure that you don’t go over the top with what you’re wearing, just wear what you normally wear to a meeting or to work. People want to get to know you based on your picture.<\/p>\r\n

Think of it as your first impression.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

If your background is too distracting, then there’s a tendency for the person to get distracted from your headshot, so keep it clean.\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

After you’re done, you can run it thorugh a photo analyzer application such as Snapper which uses artificial intelligence to show you how you can improve your photo.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
Something candid and simple will do.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n

Your Cover Photo<\/h3>\r\n
The next step is optimizing your cover photo. There are three photos that will increase your add-back rate:\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. You with a relevant influencer in your industry<\/li>\r\n
  2. You speaking in front of prospects<\/li>\r\n
  3. You at a local landmark (only works if you\u2019re connecting with people in your city)<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    \"Houston<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    Alternatively, you can use a little bit of everything or use your cover photo as a space to promote your products such as the way digital marketer Neil Patel did his.<\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n

    Your Headline<\/h3>\r\n
    Once your viewers finish judging your headshot and cover photo, they\u2019ll read your headline. The more thought leadership you can portray here, the higher increase you\u2019ll see in your add-back rate.\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    This doesn\u2019t mean writing \u201cThought Leader\u201d in your headline.<\/p>\r\n

    You need to list tangible accomplishments or awards, preferably with numbers; otherwise, people won\u2019t believe you. If you\u2019re lucky, they\u2019ve given a check mark against your headshot, cover photo, and headline.<\/p>\r\n

    Now they\u2019re reading your bio. This is your opportunity to get them to click-through to your landing page.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

    You have to be able to detail everything that you do in a couple of lines, so get creative!<\/div>\r\n

    Your Bio<\/h3>\r\n
    The biggest mistake I see from almost everyone on LinkedIn is lack of specificity. I don\u2019t know what they do and how they can help me.\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    If you can\u2019t state your business proposition in two sentences, then you don\u2019t have a business.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    \"Houston<\/div>\r\n
    It also helps if you put your contact details in the first line of your bio for people who want to contact you immediately. It saves them a lot of time from going through your entire bio, and it helps you convert faster.\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    When there is an opportunity for you to move a prospect faster through your sales funnel, you should do it.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    Your bio should also have relevant links to publications that you are featured in and your portfolio. If you have other links that deserve a click, you can place them here.<\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    If you’re leaving a link to a landing page on your website, make sure that the landing page itself is customized to thank for coming in through LinkedIn and that you record the UTM for your Analytics.<\/div>\r\n
    \r\n

    Step 2: Auto-Connect to Thousands of Prospects at Scale<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

    With several clicks, you can connect to hundreds of targeted prospects at scale.<\/p>\r\n

    Founders of 500+ employee companies in the software space?<\/em> Done.
    Directors of Innovation of 250+ employee companies in the marketing and advertising space?<\/em> Done.<\/p>\r\n

    And they\u2019ll accept your connection request because your profile is optimized. To make this magic happen, you need to buy the Chrome extension,\u00a0Linked Helper<\/a>\u00a0($15\/month).<\/p>\r\n

    To use the tool for expanding your network, write an invitation message. You\u2019ll see the option in the middle drop-down. Write an intro message that\u2019s NON-SALESY. Focus on establishing a common bond.<\/p>\r\n

    For example, in the message below I\u2019m reaching out to founders in Los Angeles. I ensure that I include both keywords (e.g. founders, Los Angeles) in my message.<\/p>\r\n

    This message will go out to everyone you auto-connect with \u2013 possibly thousands of individuals. \"\"\"\" Next, I plug-in a relevant search query into\u00a0LinkedIn Sales Navigator<\/a>. If you don\u2019t have Sales Navigator, then don\u2019t bother to run automation. You\u2019ll get your profile banned.<\/p>\r\n

    Now I click \u201cConnect all 2nd contact in Search.\u201d The tool will automatically start connecting with personalized messages to everyone in the search query.<\/p>\r\n

    Don\u2019t connect with more than 150 people in a 24 hour period; otherwise, you risk the potential of getting banned. \"\" If you send out 150 requests every other day, you can expand your connection base by a couple of thousand targeted prospects every month. Powerful.<\/p>\r\n

    Now that you have a strong connection base\u00a0let\u2019s ramp up engagement.<\/p>\r\n

    Step 3: Publish Viral LinkedIn Posts Every Week<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

    You have many prospects in your network. Do you immediately follow-up with a sales message?<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

    No.<\/div>\r\n
    You need to nurture them with value \u2013 every day. You need to leverage statuses to get seen and heard. An excellent status takes less time to create and will get far more eyeballs than your published post.\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    Look at this status I created \u2013 over 8 million views. \"LinkedIn<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

    Before you jump in trying to repeat my success, you need to know how to write to drive engagement. It starts with the first two sentences. If those don\u2019t pull your reader\u2019s attention, then you\u2019ve lost them.<\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    Every quality piece begins with a problem, significant change, announcement, or credibility:<\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    Problem:<\/strong><\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    \"\"<\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    Announcement:<\/strong><\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    \"\"<\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    Credibility:<\/strong><\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    \"\"<\/div>\r\n
    The last two sentences are almost as important as the first two. If people don\u2019t walk away feeling a strong emotion, then don\u2019t expect them to like, comment, or share your post.<\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    Provide them an \u201caha\u201d moment:<\/strong> \"\" You\u2019re almost a pro. However, you\u2019re missing everything in the middle. Here you want to tell a story with tangible examples.<\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    Without a story, no one will care. To tell a gripping story, you need to pull out every adjective from your dictionary, including amazing<\/em>, super<\/em>, nice<\/em>, great<\/em>, wonderful<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0best<\/em>.<\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    Here’s another example:<\/div>\r\n
    \r\n

    Michaela Alexis writes many of the most engaging articles on LinkedIn. This has led to her receiving many podcast, speaking, and job opportunities.<\/p>\r\n

    Here\u2019s a look at the engagement on her most recent posts:<\/p>\r\n\"BAMF<\/picture>\r\n

    What makes her LinkedIn articles different?<\/i><\/strong><\/h5>\r\n

    Michaela Alexis told us,<\/p>\r\n

    \u201cLinkedin is a unique community. You can\u2019t just write. Yes, you may end up with some home runs, but you have to spend about 20% of your time writing, and the other 80% engaging and sharing updates.<\/i><\/p>\r\n

    People need to see you actually growing to believe that you know what you\u2019re talking about or listen to what you have to say. <\/i><\/p>\r\n

    Trust me, there are far better writers than me, but they aren\u2019t spending as much time as me building relationships.<\/i><\/p>\r\n

    In terms of format, I never write anything that will take longer than 5 mins to read. Always assume people are consuming content on a quick coffee break. I follow the same format, always. <\/i><\/p>\r\n

    First part is a personal story. Second is the result. Third is how that result can be replicated.<\/i><\/p>\r\n

    I literally respond to as many comments as humanly possible. Then, I answer as many messages as possible, but it\u2019s grown so much that I\u2019m bringing on interns to categorize my messages. <\/i><\/p>\r\n

    I know Gary Vee is all about personally replying, and I agree with him. As such, I also share my articles on Medium, and have had a few picked up by publications that way.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\r\n

    Michaela did leave out that she uses images of inspirational quotes for almost all her LinkedIn article cover photos. These perform well, especially when paired with personal photos in the article.<\/p>\r\n

    Step 4: Engage With People<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

    One of the best ways to get yourself out there is to start enaging with people. It tells people that you care and that you are active in the community. However, it does come with one major problem.<\/p>\r\n

    It’s incredibly time-consuming.<\/p>\r\n

    However, there are ways to automate this process.<\/p>\r\n

    You can use\u00a0Dux Soup<\/a>\u00a0($15\/month) to begin auto-viewing profiles.<\/p>\r\n

    The paid version has support for Sales Navigator and Recruiter, enables you to download visited profile-data as a CSV, re-visit based on previously downloaded CSV, have unlimited visits\/day and tagging.<\/p>\r\n

    When you download Dux Soup, click on options to configure your settings as seen below:<\/h5>\r\n\"BAMF<\/picture>When you have your desired settings in place, then use your LinkedIn Sales Navigator or Recruiter to conduct a search query to begin auto viewing profiles.\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n\"BAMF<\/picture>If you want to capitalize on more of your existing network with messaging while expanding your network in a highly targeted way, then you\u2019ll get better results with\u00a0GPZ LinkedIN Tools<\/a>.<\/div>\r\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    GPZ LinkedIN Tools is for automated message sending, auto connecting, and auto viewing. The interface is very intuitive enabling you to set up a campaign within minutes.<\/div>\r\n
    \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
    In this example, we use the Auto Message Sender campaign.<\/div>\r\n
    \"BAMF<\/picture>From here, we configure the New Connection Messenger feature to send messages to specific people based on the URL corresponding to an Advanced People Search.\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n\"BAMF<\/picture>Now, you can send hundreds of messages every day to people in your network. This is a great way to give value to your LinkedIn connections at scale.\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    Or, you could also get them to join an event that you have by using a template message such as this:<\/p>\r\n

    \u201c[first name]<\/b>,<\/p>\r\n

    I want to reach out because we\u2019re connected, and I noticed you work in\u00a0[i.e. growth marketing]<\/b>\u00a0in\u00a0[i.e. San Francisco]<\/b>. I thought you could help me for 3 seconds.<\/p>\r\n

    I\u2019m excited to announce that the\u00a0[name of event]\u00a0<\/b>in\u00a0[i.e. San Francisco]<\/b>. It\u2019s been featured in[i.e. Forbes, Entrepreneur]<\/b>\u00a0as the next\u00a0[i.e. Dreamforce]<\/b>.<\/p>\r\n

    The event starts in two days! The speakers include:<\/p>\r\n

      \r\n
    1. [Big name #1]<\/li>\r\n
    2. [Big name #2]<\/li>\r\n
    3. [Big name #3]<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

      Please take 3 seconds to let me know what you think about the\u00a0[event]<\/b>:<\/p>\r\n

      You can find more details and register here:\u00a0[landing page URL]<\/b><\/p>\r\n

      Thank you so much for your time.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

      \r\n

      Step 5: Use Engagement Posts to Drive Subscribers<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

      To turn your engagement into email subscribers, you can offer a relevant download or ask them for their opinion on a content release.<\/p>\r\n

      Because LinkedIn decreases engagement for posts with links, I\u2019ll put the link in the first comment. When I hit thirty comments on the piece, I\u2019ll move it to the text area because garnering the initial engagement is the hardest.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

      \"\"<\/div>\r\n
      \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
      When you’re ready to give out stuff for free, you establish yourself as a confident thought leader who strives to add value to people in their network.<\/div>\r\n
      \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
      You establish your integrity and you get to help people in the process. This helps drive up business.<\/div>\r\n
      \r\n

      Step 6: Use Appreciation Posts to Develop Key Relationships<\/h2>\r\n

      LinkedIn loves when you appreciate people in your network. They go crazy over it. The formula:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

        \r\n
      1. Introduce the problem you had before your meeting<\/li>\r\n
      2. Explain the credibility of the person you\u2019re meeting using a tangible example<\/li>\r\n
      3. Dive into the key learning lessons from the conversation using bullet points<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
        Publicly acknowledging how people help you is one of the best ways to create valuable relationships.<\/div>\r\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
        It shows you\u2019re willing to vouch for a friend not only to one person but your entire network. It also works when you’re thanking people in your own organization as well.<\/div>\r\n
        \r\n

        \"best<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
        \r\n

        Step 7: Prep Your Statuses Using Quora to Create the Best LinkedIn Content<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

        All my best LinkedIn statuses were written months before I began posting them. How?<\/em><\/p>\r\n

        They were my answers to questions on Quora.<\/p>\r\n

        In fact, 8\/10 my most viewed statuses were initially written on Quora. I use Quora to validate my content before I post it on LinkedIn. This means that if my content gets high engagement on Quora, then I\u2019ll repost it on LinkedIn.<\/p>\r\n

        There\u2019s a slight mismatch. LinkedIn statuses only allow for 1,300 characters, unlike Quora which has no limit. As a result, when answering questions on Quora, it\u2019s best to keep the 1,300 character limit in mind.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

        \r\n

        Step 8: Retarget on Facebook<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
        You\u2019ve learned a few masterful tactics, but there are still more. This one can drive many leads and engagement for you. Grab the list that you have and start retargeting ads to them.<\/div>\r\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
        Also you can retarget your LinkedIn connections on Facebook, too.<\/div>\r\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
        To grab your LinkedIn connections:<\/div>\r\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
        You can find the option to do so in your LinkedIn Settings \u2013 Getting an archive of your data. \"\"\"\" Once you export your connections, LinkedIn will send you a list of their emails.<\/div>\r\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
        Upload these emails lists to Facebook as a custom audience, then start running ads.<\/div>\r\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
        I run video ads because the cost-per-view is less than several cents while still keeping an option for them to click-through to my website with a \u201cLearn more\u201d button.<\/div>\r\n
        \"\"<\/div>\r\n
        You can even grow this list to make more connections by creating a “lookalike audience” using the primary list of prospects that you have.<\/div>\r\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
        This will allow you reach people of the same demographic by using Facebook’s algorithm. This amplifies your reach even further and doesn’t require any extra effort.<\/div>\r\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
        You are working on persuading people to check you out, and its proven that people who see you on other mediums are more likely to be curious about you.<\/div>\r\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
        If they see you on both Facebook and LinkedIn then you’re doing a good job.<\/div>\r\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\r\n
        Make sure that you’re linking to a landing page.<\/div>\r\n
        \r\n

        Step 9: Interview High-Value Prospects at Scale<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

        If you implemented the content tactics outlined above every day for a month, then people are starting to follow every post you publish. Your network knows of you and people in their network know of you.<\/p>\r\n

        It\u2019s time to make sales. We sell in a genuine way \u2013 by focusing on relationship building using content marketing. This tactic is more useful if you have high-value prospects.<\/p>\r\n

        This means your average deal size should, at least, be one thousand dollars.<\/p>\r\n

        Because almost every conversation leads into \u201cWhat do you do?\u201d, our angle is to get high-value prospects on the phone with you before they even receive a sales pitch. How does this work?<\/em><\/p>\r\n

        We offer to include them in blog posts, podcasts, case studies, live stream videos, or even online magazines where you can highlight them. We\u2019re playing to their ego \u2013 and it works.<\/p>\r\n

        Here\u2019s an example message:<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\r\n

        This message has over a thirty percent reply rate.\u00a0Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\r\n

        1. Appreciation<\/strong> \u201cI love the work you\u2019ve done for [X company]\u201d<\/em>
        2. Credibility<\/strong>
        \u201cPodcast that gets 2,000<\/em>\u00a0listens an episode\u201d<\/em>
        3. Community first<\/strong>
        \u201cAs an entrepreneur building a vibrant community of founders\u201d<\/em>
        4. More appreciation<\/strong>
        \u201cKnowledgeable speakers and people crushing it in tech such as yourself\u201d<\/em>
        5. Example of a previous episode (not in the picture)<\/strong>
        \u201cHere\u2019s an example of a previous interview with [insert credible name]: [link here]\u201d<\/em>
        6. Straightforward call-to-action (not in the picture)<\/strong>
        \u201cDo you have fifteen minutes to talk this Wednesday @ 2 P.M. PST?\u201d<\/em>
        With this template, I\u2019ve had the founder of Zapier and Zoom respond to me. It\u2019s that good.<\/p>\r\n

        Step 10: Turn Your LinkedIn Connections into a Vibrant Tribe<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

        Once you\u2019ve connected with and nurtured many of your target LinkedIn prospects, you have the leverage to build a tribe. This happens in a Facebook Group, not a Slack community or a LinkedIn Group \u2013 those are dead zones.
        To get people into your community, there are two ways:<\/p>\r\n

          \r\n
        1. Email<\/li>\r\n
        2. LinkedIn messaging (more painful, but still works)<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

          1. Email<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

          Here\u2019s the email template I\u2019ll send out to all my LinkedIn connections:<\/p>\r\n

          \u201cHey [first name]<\/em><\/p>\r\n

          As a LinkedIn connection and fellow founder, I wanted to personally invite you to a founder Facebook Group I organize that\u2019s very active, Marketers & Founders.<\/em><\/p>\r\n

          I happen to run one of the largest marketing communities in Silicon Valley (3000+ members<\/a>) and the Facebook Group (6000+ members<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\r\n

          The Marketers & Founders Facebook Group is moderated by a few of the best, so it\u2019s invite-only.<\/em><\/p>\r\n

          Our moderators:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

            To email them at scale, you need to have a few warmed up email accounts tied to a domain you don\u2019t use for your website or primary business but sounds relevant to your brand.<\/p>\r\n

            For example, I used \u201cmarketersfounders.com\u201d.<\/p>\r\n

            Here are the two tools you need to send emails at scale:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

            Tool #1:<\/strong>\u00a0Google Apps\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

            \"\"\"\"
            A Google Apps account will enable you to create many email addresses tied to your \u201ctemporary\u201d domain. I recommend sticking below 300\/day per an email address and starting off at 20\/day for the first three weeks.<\/p>\r\n

            Tool #2: Mailshake<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

            \"\"
            This tool will enable you to send thousands of emails\/day if you have many emails attached. It\u2019s the best tool for sending emails at scale with the shortest learning curve.<\/p>\r\n

            It took me around twenty minutes to understand the entire tool and another twenty to begin sending emails.<\/p>\r\n

            2. LinkedIn Messaging<\/h4>\r\n

            Andrei posted on LinkedIn asking whether people were interested in joining his B2B SaaS community. As a result, he received almost over 1,000 responses.<\/p>\r\n

            That\u2019s 1,000 new members from one post. He only had 2,000 connections when he posted this.<\/p>\r\n

            \"\"\"\"<\/h2>\r\n

            The next step is paying a VA to use your profile to connect with all these people and send them a message with your community link.<\/p>\r\n

            After emailing and posting on LinkedIn, you should have a couple of thousand members in your community. Well done.<\/p>\r\n

            Step 11: Encourage them to Subscribe on Messenger<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

            The first step is to pick a messenger tool.<\/p>\r\n

            I use ManyChat<\/a>\u00a0because of its feature versatility to capture leads with dedicated landing pages or people commenting on a Facebook post.<\/p>\r\n

            If you\u2019ve ever used an opt-in tool on a blog, then you\u2019ll have a similar experience when setting up ManyChat. The learning curve is only a couple of minutes.
            \"\"
            To get the initial subscriber base, I ran a giveaway encouraging people to jump on. This gave me three-hundred-and-fifty Messenger subscribers.<\/p>\r\n

            When I had enough traction for the Facebook Group, I required members to opt-in via Messenger to gain access. As of writing, this approach has led to over five hundred more subscribers in the last month.
            \"\"
            After a month of using ManyChat, I leveraged my base to bring in another several thousand subscribers by having the most successful book launch on\u00a0            Product Hunt<\/a>.

            Soon after, I ran another giveaway. If people commented on my Facebook Fan Page post, I\u2019d send them\u00a0my viral LinkedIn templates. I received over one hundred comments.<\/p>\r\n

            As per ManyChat, if someone comments on your post, they immediately become a subscriber.<\/p>\r\n

            Play ball where they play ball. It\u2019s easier to get someone to subscribe via Messenger if they\u2019re already on Facebook.<\/p>\r\n

            Step 12: Follow-Up with Quality Inbound Opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

            I have a\u00a0problem.<\/p>\r\n

            Too many messages. I get hundreds every day across LinkedIn, Facebook, and email. To sort them out, I hired an assistant.<\/p>\r\n

            If you\u2019re looking to stay lean, then you can hire a virtual assistant, too.
            I\u2019d check out\u00a0            Upwork<\/a>; it\u2019s one of the best resources to hire virtual assistants.
            \"\"\"\"
            If you\u2019re publishing content, building your list, and driving engagement, then you\u2019ll get flooded with inbound opportunities. I don\u2019t have the time to look through\u00a0them all, so I hire people to do that for me.<\/p>\r\n

            I pay more to hire people who have experience in my industry. They\u2019re far better at identifying valuable opportunities.<\/p>\r\n

            Create a Powerful Ecosystem<\/strong id=”create”><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

            To excel at one social platform, it often requires the help of others because excellent marketing is an ecosystem. You\u2019re competing for attention.<\/p>\r\n

            To drive millions of views on LinkedIn, you need to combine the forces of Facebook and Quora.<\/p>\r\n

            Wherever your prospects go, they\u2019ll see your engaging content. And by the time they hop on a call with you, they have already trusted you. Say goodbye to your normal sales cycle by mastering LinkedIn.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
