0 > 50k+ LinkedIn followers in under a year... I didn't do that. You probably didn't either. How does it make you feel when you see these 'overnight success' posts? If, like me, you've been doing the hard yards here on LinkedIn for a good 3, 4 or 5+ years now, you likely find it confusing and frustrating watching these creators achieve so much success in such a short timeframe. It's probably got you wondering "what's wrong with me?" LOOK. I don't want to take away from these great creators because they deserve the success they have achieved... They've all crushed it here on LinkedIn by: โ posting great content; โ engaging heavily with other creators; and โ staying consistent AF. But, there are many of us who: โ๏ธ work damn hard, โ๏ธ engage sh!toads, and โ๏ธ post great content, only to feel like growing our freelance/solopreneur business on LinkedIn is harder than pulling teeth out using the string tied to the handle of a slamming door method. Fact is, if I'd waited for inbound leads to grow my business, I'd still be: โ living with my parents; โ driving their rust bucket farm car; and โ struggling to put food on the table. But I have: ๐ a mortgage to pay; ๐ 9 fur-babies, fish and a rainbow lorikeet to feed; and ๐ a ever-increasing cost of living to cope with. I just don't have the luxury of waiting around for inbound leads to start coming in consistently. You probably don't either. Thankfully, 3 years ago I started developing an outbound lead gen method to sit alongside the inbound strategy, and since then, I've generated: ๐ธ 750K+ revenue, and ๐ธ 1500+ qualified leads, for myself and my clients, including leads at some of the world's most well known brands like: ๐ฅ Nike, ๐ฅ Skims, ๐ฅ Krispy Kreme, ๐ฅ H&M, ๐ฅ Gymshark, ๐ฅ Kmart, & ๐ฅ Hugo Boss. Not bad for a LinkedIn profile with <10k followers and a method that was less 'getting results' and more 'work in progress' for at least the first 2 years, hey? If you've been working hard here on LinkedIn but you aren't seeing: ๐ฟ consistent follower growth; ๐ฟ improving engagement; and most importantly, ๐ฟ qualified leads in your inbox; it's time to implement an outbound strategy. Yes, I'm talking about sending DM's... No, I don't mean spammy AF, copy/paste, automated bullsh!t. There is a way to send DM's and generate qualified leads for your brand WITHOUT pissing people off. Intrigued? Connect with me on LinkedIn then drop me a ๐ฅ in the DM's and we'll chat about how I can help.
