Today's topic: This is how I use LinkedIn to network as a voice actor
1 - Optimize your profile. Make it easily searchable with keywords that describe you. Keep it up-to-date.
2 - Search for people you want to work with using the LinkedIn search tool.
3 - Connect with people you want to work with.
4 - Once they have added you back, message them and say hello. DON’T sell them anything, please god!
Sure LinkedIn is for networking, but who wants to get hit on as soon as they walk into da club? No one! It’s annoying and a HUGE turn off.
I hardly ever sell to anyone. We all know what we are doing there. I see it this way, I know what I offer, so it’s my job to get in front of people who can use my services and remind them I exist. (In a non-annoying way.)
Find people you want to work with, then cultivate a real relationship with them, then follow up with them, forever. :-)
5 - Post at least twice per day on LinkedIn...as in you write social media posts at least twice per day.
Make those posts something your ideal client would actually want to read. Experiment here. You will get better. More ideas will come to you the more you create content and actually talk to your ideal clients.
6 - Sign up for LinkedIn Live and then actually use it.
Again, experiment with this. Create lives your ideal clients would actually want to watch or talk about your process. Again, you will get better the more you do these and you will get more ideas the more you do them.
That’s how I do it.
