Some criticism: I'm only 3 minutes in and my head hurts from the video editing. You don't need moving transitions every 0.5 seconds in long form content. I needed to scroll down and just listen to the audio continue.
Loving your content and did some binge watching today - super micro learning - solid strategies, simple and straightforward steps, and authentic presentation. I’m starting my solo coaching and content biz in the new year.
Hi Alex! You deliver a lot of value in this video, thank you very much. I have a question. What type of personalized video do you send by DM. A video offering your services or giving them some advice about x?
Such a powerful strategy! Love the clarity on combining short-term wins with long-term brand-building. The Core 4 strategy is gold for anyone starting from zero on LinkedIn. I also appreciate the emphasis on authenticity and how personal stories can really drive results. Video content, especially short and educational, really does build trust fast! Can’t wait to implement some of these tips into my own approach.
Great video. I’ve been trying to post and have gotten some leads off it so far. I need to learn how to do the editing and getting better pictures on there. I’m at the mercy of my work computer and cell phone without any good software.
Starting from scratch on LinkedIn can be daunting, but your insights are super helpful! Your step-by-step plan is just what I needed to kickstart my LinkedIn journey. I appreciate your honesty and practical tips.
Sooo.. I’ve watched a ton of “gurus” and have even paid for courses on how to use LinkedIn. But this single 12 min video taught me more than all of them. Dude.. hearts. Fantastic post and incredibly valuable information. I will be doing all of this 🗣️ TODAY!!
Good info, Alex, thank you. Any chance you have samples of some of those video DMs you spoke so highly of? Would be great to see the vibe, style, approach
It's really encouraging to see my rag tag ideas of building a LI strategy was similar to someone as successful as you! Thanks for posting this. I'm going to implement some tweaks that you mentioned here and take the next steps in my business. Thanks!
You nailed this and I agree with you . I was so behind on linkedIn for a very long time. I just created a business page few days ago and I have shared a video content with a post. I am not good at posting daily even on other platforms so I will stick to one post weekly for the sakevof consistency until I have more time to create more content.
Great advice and very well thought out and edited video Alex. I like that there weren"t distracting captions on this since it was 12 minutes long. You're going to grow so fast on TH-cam. I've already shared this video in an entrepreneurial forum.
I really appreciate you…seriously! It means alot to me. Putting alot of effort into these and its nice to know people are watching, getting value, and sharing! ❤️
Hi Alex, this was such a great video! Sometimes the rabbit hole gets you exactly what you were looking for. Video DMs are something I never even considered, do you have a video on that topic?
loving your video as you say it's unlocked something in my mind as you say but how i can build a strong profile for a company is their something different
Great video, great tips! Thank you. A question: How come people like Dan Koe and Justin Welsh almost never post video content, but they are still able to get so much traction and engagement?
You dont have to post videos on linkedin to get engagement. I do picture, text and video. All work. It all depends on your goals, strategy, etc. text doesnt build deep level relationship w audience IMO and doesnt translate to most modern platforms (YT, titkok, insta, etc). Great questions!
I agree, but clearly a lot of commenters liked it. At the end of the day, if Alex likes his style and it works for his audience, he should go with it, even if you and I think he could have saved about half his editing time :-)
I thought this video was very informative. I've been using LinkedIn as a resource to connect with professionals for years, but only recently started using it as an entrepreneur. Some of these things I have done, but I have never been consistent enough to get results that I desired, and I didn't have the right outcome focus in mind. Thanks for providing more guidance Alex!
So, should we have a single LinkedIn personal page that also promotes our business? Or a separate one for personal and business? Great videos by the way!
Just to clarify, you filter by those who are active on LinkedIn, then engage with their content (before sending them anything), then send a Connection invitation? Is that a one day process or do you engage with their content a few days and then send a connection request? Or do you send your 100 connection requests a week and only engage with the ones who accept your request? That part was kind of fast so I wanted to clarify. As someone newer to LinkedIn this was the most helpful video I have seen. Thank you!
Yes to answer your question. And theres alot of dif ways to go about it. Def could be once a week, could be multiple times engaging then dming. Just depends on your customer
Awesome ideas. I'm just not sure who to "interact" with on Linkedin if I'm a Coach for men who lack confidence. Would that be follow and comment on other Coaches on Linkedin? Thanks!
Great overview as ever Alex. One question - when you want to keep updated about prospects future posts, what do you find the most effective method? I can click on everyone's notifications bell but I don't aways seem to get notified about new posts consistently. If I save them as a lead in Sales Navigator, is that the safest bet? Of course I could go old-school and just save the link to each contact's 'recent post' feed (so they don't get pinged with my profile views) - but that feels a bit of an archaic way of manually checking up which I might not always have time for!
Great question! Yes, sales navigator would be the best bet for organizing all of your leads and it even creates a mini newsfeed of the leads for you :). Other than that, good ole fashion excel works too lol
@@impaxsmarketing yep, saw the news feed. Super helpful but something I think I need to curate a bit as I initially saved a TON of leads on there by default. Need to prune it down to the truly active ones. Thanks so much!
Great video! I have a personal LinkedIn profile but I have launched my own business which has a different name. Do you advise creating a new profile for the business or convert my existing personal profile to my business name? Many thanks,
Do you need premium to show your website or landing page? Hey I figured it out...turned on creator to add the custom link! I had my website on my profile before but it wasn't showing. Thanks for the tip! It's because you even pointed this out that I looked into it.
Alex, where in LinkedIn is the video DM capability? You mention it around the 8:50 mark of this video, but I don't see it in LinkedIn anywhere? Is it native to LinkedIn, or are you using a 3rd party app somehow? Please explain. Thanks and keep the GREAT content coming. I just found you and love your stuff.
Good video! I shared it with a friend who is starting his own business. Any ideas for the ones of us who want to use the platform for networking instead?
Thanks Man! This was so helpful! For your strategy, I'm trying to consider whether I should post 5 times a week per account (Personal, Business, Podcast) or should I Just do Personal, and the others do 2-3. What would you recommend?
Depends on the team/resources/strategy you have but more than likely its gonna be best to post 3-5 times on your personal page to start. You’ll get much more traction there
Game changing content. Thank you! Question- What if you are building a brand not connected to your name. How do you go deep and get super personal with prospects in content without showing your face and representing a brand?
Alex, how did you create/plug in that "services and pricing here" link. Trying to find this under "Edit Contact info. Thank you so much in advance. Your information has been more helpful than you know.
Alex - another brilliant and useful piece of content! Thank you. Can you confirm for me - do I need Sales Navigator to locate people who are aspiring to change career paths to something I can help them with like engineering or project management? I really can't afford it yet but haven't found a way to search for those I want to help make that change. Keywords like aspiring or junior don't seem to be helpful.
Hey Alex, loved the video - I love the idea of video DM's but obviously they do require the connection first. I wonder if you might share an example of the kind of message you use to get that connection - from what you're saying it sounds like you probably reference their content and maybe offer up a content piece of your own? Thanks man - keep up the good work, that was a great vid!
Ah nice shout - so really think of the first outreach step being the comments without being weird and annnoying! :) Relies on them being active of course but I guess that in itself is a good filter.@@impaxsmarketing
@@impaxsmarketing this was really well produced my guy. The "edutainment" was strong lol. It's already hard learning anything with ADHD but this kept me engaged the entire time I saw the entire thing.

Nah. This video needs more zooms to keep us engaged.
More zooms! MORE ZOOMS!
Yessir more
It’s easy to get carried away.

Yup. More zooms, more plants, more LEDs. This just isn’t engaging enough.
