In this episode, we're going to help you actually get clients from
Speaker:LinkedIn. Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist
Speaker:and money mindset coach, and welcome to the Weeniecast.
Speaker:I'm doing this episode of the Weenie cast for extremely selfish
Speaker:reasons. I no longer want to hear from people that
Speaker:they are making these faux pas, which is french for f
Speaker:up on LinkedIn. Okay? It hurts my soul
Speaker:when it's such a magical platform and
Speaker:when used correctly, can attract hundreds of thousands of
Speaker:dollars worth of business. But if you're making these simple
Speaker:mistakes, you're actually keeping that money from coming to you.
Speaker:Because a, you're not attracting your ideal clients,
Speaker:b, you are spending a stupid amount of time
Speaker:doing stuff that isn't going to move the needle in your business.
Speaker:And in some cases, these may actually be
Speaker:hurting you rather than helping you. If you're a business owner and you
Speaker:have not gotten on the LinkedIn train yet, let me tell you here are some
Speaker:of the perks of promoting your business on LinkedIn. Number
Speaker:one, the average active user on
Speaker:LinkedIn makes $70,000 a
Speaker:year, okay? That's the average. Many users on LinkedIn
Speaker:make a lot more, which means your speaking to people
Speaker:who have the money to buy your services.
Speaker:Number two, there's not a need to
Speaker:dance or lip sync or follow
Speaker:trends like there are on other platforms. I'm talking to
Speaker:you, Instagram and TikTok. In fact, you don't even have to create
Speaker:graphics for your posts on LinkedIn. It helps to occasionally have a
Speaker:picture of your face so people feel like they're getting content from an actual human
Speaker:being. But genuinely, if you're creating content
Speaker:on LinkedIn and you're doing it well enough, people are going
Speaker:to form a relationship with you and they're going to start trusting you. And
Speaker:if they're your ideal client, they will more than likely end up booking a
Speaker:sales call with you. If they're not your ideal client,
Speaker:then they will still be supportive of your content, which
Speaker:as a result pushes it to their network. Or if they know your
Speaker:ideal clients, I bet you they're referring them to you.
Speaker:So if you're not on the LinkedIn train yet, I hope this will
Speaker:convince you to get on there and start promoting your business there. If you
Speaker:are on the LinkedIn train and you're doing any of these things wrong, I want
Speaker:you to forgive yourself. You didn't know any better. But after you listen to this
Speaker:episode, you will know better. So no more of these things, okay?
Speaker:Deal. First and foremost,
Speaker:LinkedIn does not like it when you share links in your posts,
Speaker:okay? LinkedIn wants to keep its viewers on the
Speaker:platform for as long as possible. If you're sharing a link
Speaker:to, say, your YouTube channel or to an article
Speaker:you wrote in a magazine, you're sending people off of
Speaker:the platform. LinkedIn does not want that.
Speaker:So the LinkedIn algorithm will actually kill the reach
Speaker:of any post you share that has a link in it. This is
Speaker:also true for you re sharing other people's
Speaker:LinkedIn posts, which sounds absolutely nutso,
Speaker:right? But LinkedIn is a janky ass
Speaker:platform. It can't tell the difference between a
Speaker:link to its own website and a link to another
Speaker:website. Okay? So if you're someone who shares other people's posts
Speaker:and you do it because you really want to promote them, you are a golden
Speaker:soul. You are so kind and so supportive, and you're doing it from just
Speaker:a really beautiful place. Keep going if you want to. If you're not trying to
Speaker:get business from the platform, if you are trying to get business from
Speaker:the platform, this is killing you. Killing me. Slowly with
Speaker:his blinks
Speaker:the next bit. Formatting if you're
Speaker:formatting your content so it's not accessible to people with
Speaker:vision issues, you are missing out on a ton of business. And let me tell
Speaker:you why. On LinkedIn, when you use special character,
Speaker:that post is no longer usable to any programs
Speaker:that help those with vision impairments. You know, so those text
Speaker:to talk kind of programs that read it for them, they can't read
Speaker:that stuff. Likewise, if you're just writing
Speaker:everything in big block paragraphs, and this goes for LinkedIn,
Speaker:Instagram, Facebook, wherever you're creating content, there are
Speaker:folks like me out there who actually have a really hard time
Speaker:reading big blocks of text. You may not know this about
Speaker:me. I had a minor traumatic brain injury back in October of
Speaker:2017, and for about two or three months, I
Speaker:literally could not read because the part of my brain that got bruised
Speaker:was the part that deciphers what my eyes see now. It's gotten a lot
Speaker:better. I can read now. It's great. Like, I'm back almost to normal,
Speaker:but I'm still challenged when I see a chunky,
Speaker:big paragraph that has no breaks in it. So, you know those posts where it's
Speaker:like one sentence is a paragraph and then there's a big space and then there's
Speaker:another sentence that's a paragraph, that's what is actually accessible
Speaker:to people. And it feels weird to write that way. But
Speaker:let me tell you, you will get so much more engagement on your posts
Speaker:if you write that way, even if your content kind of sucks, it's also
Speaker:really friendly to people who skim. I don't know about you, but I'm not, like,
Speaker:sitting down in a quiet room with my nice cup of tea just to go
Speaker:and read stuff on LinkedIn. No, I'm reading stuff on
Speaker:LinkedIn when I'm sitting on a park bench with my dog who's barking at a
Speaker:squirrel. I'm distracted. I'm looking at
Speaker:LinkedIn when I'm watching tv at night, and I'm only half paying
Speaker:attention. I'm skimming stuff. If it seems interesting,
Speaker:I might read the whole thing, but I also might just, like, read the top
Speaker:bit and then the bottom bit and then comment and, like, something. Not your
Speaker:reader's job to invest their time and energy
Speaker:into figuring out what you're trying to say. It is your job
Speaker:to make it easy to read.
Speaker:Another faux pas that many people on LinkedIn
Speaker:do is they get preachy or salesy in
Speaker:their content. And I'm saying that as someone who
Speaker:trains my clients on how to write sales content.
Speaker:Salesy and sales content are completely different things.
Speaker:To paint the picture of what this looks like, I want you to imagine that
Speaker:you go to a networking event. It's like 05:00 p.m. It's in maybe
Speaker:downtown at a hip bar. And you go there and you get your
Speaker:little name tag, and you walk into the room, there's like a whole
Speaker:wall of hors d'oeuvres. And there's, you know, the bartenders that are
Speaker:pouring glasses of wine and beer, and they might be making cocktails with the
Speaker:stuff, but they're not doing anything fancy. And you look around
Speaker:and you see all the people there. And instead of going and
Speaker:starting a conversation with anyone you like, pull one of the chairs out from a
Speaker:table, and you stand on it, and you start saying, do you have a
Speaker:problem with this? Do you ever struggle with why?
Speaker:Do you notice that other people are more successful in this area
Speaker:than you? Well, I have the solution for you. No, that's like,
Speaker:that's what the oxiclean guy would do. Squirrel. Squirrel. Squirrel.
Speaker:It's amazing. Watch how oxiclean unleashes
Speaker:the power of oxygen, making tough stains disappear
Speaker:like magic without fading or bleeding the
Speaker:colors. Or pet squirrels. Squirrel. Squirrel. Squirrel. Do
Speaker:you think anyone at that networking event is gonna look at you and be like,
Speaker:oh, my God, I have to buy from this person? No, they're gonna look at
Speaker:you like you're a nutjob. The preachy person pulls out a
Speaker:chair, stands on it, and starts telling people, like, here's how you solve all your
Speaker:problems. Here's where you're actually screwing up your life, and here's how you solve your
Speaker:problems. And here's what you really have to think about. No one
Speaker:in that whole event is looking at this person, be like, wow, they're so
Speaker:smart. Wow, I really want to talk to them. Wow, I really want to give
Speaker:them my money and work with them. No, they're like, don't talk
Speaker:to that person. They're telling their friends, if that person comes over here, let's pretend
Speaker:we have to go to the bathroom. If they follow us to the bathroom, then
Speaker:let's just leave. We're not dealing with that person. LinkedIn operates
Speaker:best when you. Ooh, what am I going to say next? Well, you'll have to
Speaker:keep listening to find out. But first, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel,
Speaker:squirrel.
Speaker:LinkedIn operates best when you treat it like it's actually a
Speaker:networking event or a neighborhood, meaning you have actual little
Speaker:conversations with people. If you were a normal human
Speaker:going to a networking event, you'd get your name tag, you'd walk in,
Speaker:you'd kind of, like, scan the room for who seemed approachable. You might go
Speaker:up to the bar and grab a drink and then head over to the hors
Speaker:d'oeuvre table and grab a little plate and fill up and then start some
Speaker:light chit chat with whoever was nearby. If you knew someone, you might
Speaker:go up to them, be like, oh, my God. Hi, Tiffany. It's so great to
Speaker:see you. And then whoever she's talking to, you kind of join into that
Speaker:conversation. You're not going to go and be like, here's who I help, and this
Speaker:is what I do, and this is how much I charge. No, you're going to
Speaker:ask, oh, cool, like, where do you work? Oh, what do you like about it
Speaker:there? You know, someone might compliment you on your blouse and you'd be like, oh,
Speaker:yeah, I got this on sale at Bloomingdale's. Did you know that they have a
Speaker:sale every quarter at this time? Like, it's amazing. Someone might be
Speaker:talking about how they went on vacation last month to the Maldives.
Speaker:You might start asking them questions about it and start saying, oh,
Speaker:I've always wanted to go there. You're building actual
Speaker:relationships and. Sure, yeah, sometimes the conversation comes back
Speaker:to, what do you do? Oh, my God, I really need that. Sure. Can we
Speaker:book a call? Absolutely. But you're not jumping there
Speaker:first. If you jump there first, no one's going to go with you on
Speaker:LinkedIn. When you go and you try to just be salesy and just
Speaker:preach at people, and you don't invest some time on
Speaker:having those conversations first. It's the equivalent of walking into
Speaker:that networking event, standing on a chair, shouting some shit at them, and then going
Speaker:to the hors d'oeuvre table with your tupperware, putting some stuff in and piecing out,
Speaker:and then expecting that you're going to get a job or a client out of
Speaker:it. It's not going to work. When you create content for LinkedIn,
Speaker:you have to make it kind of conversational. When you're writing content, you have to
Speaker:think about what would make this easy for someone to comment
Speaker:on. And before you even post it, you actually have to go and
Speaker:comment on a minimum of ten other people's posts.
Speaker:And here's where so many people get tripped up. Okay, well, I have to
Speaker:go and comment on my ideal client's post. No, you do not
Speaker:go and comment on posts that you find interesting, that you find fun,
Speaker:that light you up, that you want to be part of the conversation. People
Speaker:are not scanning the interwebs for the person who is the most bland
Speaker:version of whoever can solve their problems. They're
Speaker:looking for people that they want to be in relationship with, that they want to
Speaker:be friends with. You. Showing up as your actual human
Speaker:self on LinkedIn is giving them that chance to
Speaker:recognize you as a human and think, yeah, they seem
Speaker:cool, I want to hang out with them more. The beautiful thing about
Speaker:LinkedIn is that when you comment on someone else's post, even if they
Speaker:have nothing to do with what you do, and they respond to you, and then
Speaker:maybe they come and comment on your post because you supported
Speaker:them, your content actually gets pushed to all
Speaker:their people in their network. Anyone who's active on the platform is
Speaker:more likely to see your stuff. If you have this
Speaker:reciprocal relationship with this person, this content creator
Speaker:whose stuff you're commenting on may not be your ideal client, but
Speaker:I guarantee you they're connected to your ideal clients,
Speaker:and they're connected to your ideal clients, spouses and
Speaker:siblings and work besties. And when you
Speaker:create content that's personal, that
Speaker:empathizes with your ideal clients, you make it so much
Speaker:easier for them to feel like they know you. And once they feel
Speaker:like they know you, they'll start paying attention to what it is that you actually
Speaker:do for work.
Speaker:LinkedIn is not a quick game. It's not something where you're going
Speaker:to post once and get a gazillion clients and then be done. It's a
Speaker:long game. There are so many LinkedIn programs out
Speaker:there that guarantee immediate results. And what they do is
Speaker:they're essentially engagement pods, which is another big
Speaker:faux pas that you do not want to do on LinkedIn. If you're not familiar
Speaker:with what an engagement pod is, it's a group of people that you
Speaker:join and you oftentimes you have to pay to join. And
Speaker:anytime a member of that group with something, they share
Speaker:the link in the pod and everyone in the pod
Speaker:jumps on that link and goes in. Comments. Now, this hurts you
Speaker:for multiple reasons. Number one, it's against the terms of
Speaker:service on LinkedIn so you can get kicked off the platform. Number
Speaker:two, everyone in that pod is not your ideal
Speaker:client because they're all obsessed with getting their own clients on the
Speaker:platform. They're obsessed with growing, growing their followership. Unless that's
Speaker:your ideal client, you're basically training the
Speaker:whole algorithm to show your stuff to more people like them who will
Speaker:never buy from you. The ugly thing here is that your
Speaker:newsfeed is going to be chockaback full of boring ass
Speaker:content. Oftentimes, people in these groups are not trained on how to create
Speaker:good content that's fun to engage on. So instead of going
Speaker:onto LinkedIn and creating, creating real relationships and real friendships and
Speaker:having some fun and attracting some clients in the mix, it
Speaker:becomes this arduous task that you have to spend hours on
Speaker:and you get more followers, but you never get a client out of it. And
Speaker:that sucks. Unless you're a masochist and you really enjoy making yourself
Speaker:suffer, then absolutely go for it. You do
Speaker:whatever knocks your socks off, buddy. The last bit that I will
Speaker:name here is, ooh, what am I gonna say next? Well, you'll
Speaker:have to keep listening to find out. But first, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel,
Speaker:squirrel.
Speaker:The last bit that I will name here is
Speaker:dming. Cold. Dming. Specifically,
Speaker:never have I ever sat at my desk wondering, you
Speaker:know, I really want some weirdo who knows nothing about me
Speaker:and nothing about my business, nothing about what I'm struggling with, to send me an
Speaker:unsolicited message trying to sell me their thing.
Speaker:God, I just really want that today. Never, never have I
Speaker:ever. And I've never gotten that initial message and been like, oh, this
Speaker:is interesting. Yeah, I would totally love to hear about your cryptocurrency
Speaker:kind of thing. Tell me more. And then appreciated
Speaker:the 17 follow up messages that get sent after that, trying to
Speaker:sell me their thing? No, that doesn't work that way. One of the things I
Speaker:train all of my clients on is how to create content
Speaker:that will actually attract your ideal clients to book with you without
Speaker:you chasing them down. And we do this through a few different ways. Number
Speaker:one, we edit your profile so it operates like landing page
Speaker:your profile. If you're running a business and selling services and trying to
Speaker:attract clients on LinkedIn, your profile should not
Speaker:be about you. And I know that sounds completely nuts, so,
Speaker:but your profile has to be all about your ideal
Speaker:client and what they're struggling with and what they're afraid of and what they're
Speaker:frustrated with and what they want more than anything. Because when someone
Speaker:comes to your profile, they're not going to care that you were on the lacrosse
Speaker:team. They're not going to know how you helping your company get
Speaker:to like 400% of their corporate goal is going to be at all
Speaker:relevant to how they're struggling in their life right
Speaker:now and how you might help. They're not going to understand how you are on
Speaker:the advisory board for some nonprofit is at all relevant
Speaker:to how you can help them solve their problems. They are going to
Speaker:recognize when your profile is all about them and
Speaker:calls out the things that they struggle with that they don't think anyone
Speaker:realizes that they struggle with, and says, by the way, if you're done
Speaker:with this and you want something different, book a call with me.
Speaker:Once we have that dialed in, we then look at your content
Speaker:strategy to be successful on LinkedIn. To get clients from
Speaker:LinkedIn, you actually do have to share about yourself. And I
Speaker:know you hear so many content gurus out there being like, be
Speaker:vulnerable, share authentically. And what the f. Does that mean?
Speaker:It doesn't mean that you have to share all of your deepest, darkest secrets on
Speaker:LinkedIn. It doesn't mean that you have to share all of
Speaker:your traumas and all the weird, fucked up shit that's ever
Speaker:happened to you. Okay? It doesn't mean that you have to explain exactly how you're
Speaker:struggling right here in this moment, but it does mean that you have to give
Speaker:people a little idea of who you are. And so when I think
Speaker:about what makes LinkedIn so successful for people is when you treat it
Speaker:like a neighborhood. Right? If you moved into a new neighborhood
Speaker:and you wanted to get to know your neighbors, you would not go door to
Speaker:door and hand out your very professional resume and then give them a whole little
Speaker:lecture on what makes you special. You wouldn't. You're like, oh, hi,
Speaker:I'm Katie, and this is my dog, Luna, and we love going for
Speaker:walks. You'll see us around the neighborhood. You know, I'm a big fan of having
Speaker:people over, so I hope you like cheese and wine, because I'll probably have
Speaker:a nice cheese and wine night. By the way, are you obsessed with Bridgerton? Because
Speaker:the new Bridgerton season is about to come out. It's dropping in two parts.
Speaker:Isn't that annoying? I just want all of it all at once. But if you
Speaker:like Bridgerton, I might be having a Bridgerton viewing party. And you can
Speaker:dress up as a Bridgerton character. You don't have to dress up as a Bridgerton
Speaker:character. I'll send you that invite if you watch Bridgerton. And what do you like
Speaker:to do? It's stuff that you know about your neighbors that makes you trust
Speaker:them and know them and feel comfortable with them around. It doesn't
Speaker:necessarily have to be super deep. Growing up, my family lived in this
Speaker:really cute neighborhood, and we had some really nice neighbors, and I didn't
Speaker:honestly know what half of them did. Of course, I was. I was a teenager,
Speaker:but, you know, I knew one of the neighbors was an ex parole officer. I
Speaker:knew that another neighbor had some kind of consulting firm, but he really liked
Speaker:cigars and whiskey. I knew another neighbor had chickens,
Speaker:and some other neighbors really liked having parties on the weekend that were a little
Speaker:loud and we'd get annoyed with, but they seemed nice enough. Every single one of
Speaker:those neighbors my family would have trusted with a key to our house in case
Speaker:of emergencies. It's the same on LinkedIn. You're not trusting people on LinkedIn with a
Speaker:key to your house, but you're giving them enough so they feel like they
Speaker:know you. In combination with that, you're sharing about
Speaker:your ideal clients. You're empathizing with where they are right now.
Speaker:You're talking about what they're struggling with and what they're afraid of and what they
Speaker:want more than anything.
Speaker:And sure, you're sharing testimonials, but you don't have to bang
Speaker:on about how incredibly smart you are. When we interact with other
Speaker:humans, we just assume everyone else is as smart as we are until proven
Speaker:otherwise. Right? And so unless you're an absolute moron,
Speaker:don't worry about proving how smart you are. People are just going to assume that
Speaker:you're the same level of smart as they are. You know, we're also coming up
Speaker:with some kind of system so that you can be consistent.
Speaker:Like I said, you're not going to post once and attract all of your clients.
Speaker:You're going to have to post for several months consistently,
Speaker:anywhere from four to seven times a week, which seems like a lot
Speaker:when you first get started, but trust me, it has an impact. And
Speaker:after a few months, you're going to start attracting clients who just see your
Speaker:content. They may not like it and they may not comment on it, but
Speaker:all of a sudden, they're going to show up on your calendar having booked a
Speaker:sales call. I've had numerous people book sales
Speaker:calls with me, and I got on with them and started talking
Speaker:to them, and towards the end, they were like, listen, I didn't book a call
Speaker:with you to say no to working with you. I've watched every single live
Speaker:you've ever done, which, if you have at all, followed my lives over the last
Speaker:four years. That's like seven seasons of a Netflix show. It's like
Speaker:watching suits, all of the seasons of suits, and then maybe a bonus
Speaker:season. I don't know, there's a lot of content on there.
Speaker:You're going to have people in your audience who are following you to the same
Speaker:degree, but for them to do that, for them to follow you
Speaker:and watch you and absorb what you're saying, you have to actually show up and
Speaker:post. You have to be consistent. And the key to all of
Speaker:this is you have to invite people to book a call with you. You have
Speaker:to invite people to become your client.
Speaker:When I first started posting on LinkedIn, my dad started bragging
Speaker:to everyone that I had a LinkedIn blog. I spent the pandemic with them. And
Speaker:I remember he came home one day and he's like, oh, I ran
Speaker:into so and so from this committee in the town, and they were
Speaker:telling me that their daughter worked at LinkedIn. And I told him to ask his
Speaker:daughter if she knew about you because you have a LinkedIn blog. My dad had
Speaker:no idea what I did back then. It was so cute. He was so proud
Speaker:that I would post stuff and get people to comment on it. And
Speaker:I don't know if he understood that I didn't get paid for it. He
Speaker:understands now. He understands how it works now, but it took a while,
Speaker:but to the point you can absolutely treat it like a blog and just write
Speaker:stuff and put it out there. But if you don't tell people, hey, I'm for
Speaker:hire, and if you have this problem and you want to solve this problem, I
Speaker:can help you with that. Book a call with me they're not going to
Speaker:know. We are very simple creatures, okay? We take things at
Speaker:face value. I want you to think about all the different, like
Speaker:Instagram people who post about cooking, like cooking different
Speaker:dishes and baking and all this stuff. Would you assume that you could
Speaker:hire them for catering? You know, would you assume that this fitness
Speaker:person who's posting about healthy meals that they could come over and do
Speaker:meal prepping for you once a week? No, of course not. You're
Speaker:just watching their stuff, thinking they're sharing valuable recipes that they use to stay
Speaker:in shape. You're not going to know that you can hire them to come over
Speaker:and do meal prep for you unless they tell you. And it's the
Speaker:same across every single industry. So if you are for
Speaker:hire, you have to tell people that you're for hire and give them
Speaker:explicit instructions as to how they could inquire about working
Speaker:with you. Squirrel, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel.
Speaker:And I want to acknowledge this is the weeniecast. It is a podcast
Speaker:for ADHD business owners, but this is something that is
Speaker:widely applicable to business owners everywhere. But I will
Speaker:say if you have ADHD, this is
Speaker:where you actually get to share all your freak flags. All the
Speaker:weirdo things that you're interested in or have been interested in in the
Speaker:past. Those are such cool conversation starters
Speaker:that let people feel like they know you and help
Speaker:them connect with you on a different level. And eventually they may end up being
Speaker:your client or they may end up referring business to you.
Speaker:But the fact that you have all these, like, varied weirdo
Speaker:interests that you can talk about and share about and
Speaker:get excited for, that's all stuff that is going to make
Speaker:people feel like they know you. So full
Speaker:permission here to go and share about all of it. Maybe not all of it.
Speaker:The really weird stuff you and I both know you want to keep to yourself,
Speaker:unless that's part of your service. But unless you run
Speaker:like a dominatrix s and m thing, maybe keep that stuff to yourself.
Speaker:Although I have to say, I would be tickled to see an
Speaker:actual, like, dominatrix or something out there
Speaker:trying to promote their services on LinkedIn. I think that would be hysterical. I don't
Speaker:know if they would be like, in accordance with the terms of service, but, you
Speaker:know, that would be so much fun. That would really mix up the conversation a
Speaker:bit. If you're ready to stop being a weenie and actually run a business that
Speaker:makes money, go ahead and book a generate income strategy call with
Speaker:me by going to
Speaker:weeniecast.com/strategycall.
Speaker:On this call, we will talk about your goals, your dreams,
Speaker:and your frustrations in getting there. And if it's a fit
Speaker:for both of us, then we can talk about different ways to work together.
