Founder of Evvy AI. I'm really excited about today's presentation as I will be talking about how to be able to leverage Evvy AI, which is our assistant for LinkedIn. If you're not currently using artificial intelligence, then this is a great presentation for you to listen to because I'm going to be showing you The step-by-step process to be able to use AI together with LinkedIn. Over the past several years, I've trained over 1,000 people on how to leverage LinkedIn. And I wanna tell you that LinkedIn has really been a game changer for me and for many of my clients because LinkedIn is the world's largest professional social network and we currently have over 1 billion people on LinkedIn. So I'm going to share my screen quickly and just show you some of the powerful things that you can do with AI. So drop a link and let me know where you're dialing in from, where in the world you're coming in from. I'm curious to see where people are coming in from right now. The first thing I want to tell you is that if you don't have a business networking one sheet, check out my one sheet as part of my featured items. This business networking one sheet works people through a little bit about who you are, your current projects, who you wanna meet and how to introduce you together with your skills, experiences, and passions. So if you haven't created a business networking one-sheet, go ahead, download mine, read it, and then copy it to create your own. So as you can see, I'm on LinkedIn every single day and I'm constantly posting on LinkedIn. I just posted this right over here. And if somebody, for example, leaves me a comment on my post, I can use my artificial intelligence tool to help me reply to that comment with just a click of a button instead of me wondering what to say in the reply. It'll draft their name in the reply and it'll help me be able to reply to that comment with a click of a button. So I don't have to actually think about what to say in the reply. It'll acknowledge them, it'll thank them, and it'll also make it much more likely that they'll keep sending me comments on LinkedIn because of the fact that I am replying to their comments. So if you're not replying to people's comments on LinkedIn, I highly recommend you go ahead and do that. The other thing that you can do, which is extremely powerful, is to leave comments strategically. So for example, I have saved profiles. You see that in my Chrome extension, I have saved profiles. I click on see all saved profiles. Now you see I have this person Amy and Michael and Chris and Philip and Jada and Pamela, and I have a list of influencers. If I go down to my influencers I click on influencers, I press apply, and these are influencers which are people that are in the position to be targeting the same people that I'm targeting. So I'm going to go down, look at all 50 influencers, and as you can see, I have Cody Sanchez and Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, and Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, and Gary Vaynerchuk. And if I click on see recent activity, it loads all their recent posts. So I don't have to wait for their post to come up in my feed for me to leave a comment on them. So 1 hour ago, Gary Vaynerchuk posted, do you care— how do you share that you care for your employees? I'm going to click on comment. I'm going to click on this little comment box and I'm going to drop a comment for him. Now he only got 66 comments on this, which is not a lot of comments. So I'm going to tag him like that and I'm going to read the comment, make sure it makes sense, and I'm going to post it. And you see how quickly I'm able to create rapport under his most recent post. And that helps me be able to do this on many of his posts just like that. And that'll keep me top of mind with his connections. So that's a really great way for you to get exposure under an influencer that has 5.4 million followers just like that. So I don't have to wait for any of these people to post. If they're an influencer in my life, even if they don't have millions of followers, and I wanna be able to drop a comment on some of their posts, I can easily do that, finding their posts and dropping comments. And as you can see, I already dropped a comment on her post, so I don't have to do that. The other thing that you can do is in the backend, you can click on the post writer, select your introduction, select the type of the goal that you have, for example, common myths, The tone, for example, metaphorical, funny, happy, empathetic, curious, educational, and the persona. I have many different personas, but I'm going to select the Joe Apfelbaum persona, and I'm going to say create a post about the common myths of using LinkedIn and the truth about it. Okay, so I don't even have to tell it what the common myths are because it knows. And it's going to just generate a post for me. Now I have 2 different options here. I have GPT-3.5 or GPT-4. Those are 2 separate options that I can choose from. I chose 4, which is available for premium users. And it says, did you know that 80% of B2B leads come directly from LinkedIn? And yet many professionals still have misconceptions about the powerful platform. Let's debunk some of these myths today. Myth number 1, LinkedIn is only for job seekers. Myth number 2 is you need to have a large network. Myth number 3, AI has no place on LinkedIn. As a marketing expert entrepreneur, I spent several years reverse engineering algorithms and testing systems. So in order for me to post this on LinkedIn, all I gotta do is press copy. I just copied that post. I go onto LinkedIn right over here, and now I have a post that I generated just like that. I don't even need to write anything else. I don't need to, need to modify anything. I can literally just hit post. I can modify it if I want. I can also add an image if I want. So let's say I wanna add an image, I click on Add Media, I find an image that I like. I'm going to double-click on this. This is actually a post. That's a perfect video. I'm gonna press next. So AI created the text, AI created the video. I wanna press go post, and now I just posted a video and text on LinkedIn that will get 1,000 people to see that just like that. If you're not using artificial intelligence to leave comments, to write posts or even to send messages. If I go to messages right over here, I haven't, tell me more. I'm gonna go in here. Happy to tell you about Evvy AI. I'm gonna press generate and it's going to read my persona so it knows what Evvy AI is. It's also gonna read our whole message and it's gonna write a message about Evvy AI. So I don't have to actually write the message. I'm thrilled. Evvy AI is the latest venture into AI on LinkedIn. It's designed to help professionals like us craft engaging content, intelligent comments, and timely responses. It's all about enhancing LinkedIn. Da da da. Can't wait to show you how to streamline these interactions and the human touch. Let's dive in. Okay, so I'm gonna press insert. I'm gonna press send, and it just wrote a whole blurb for me, which is extremely powerful in terms of like building that relationship. I don't have to sit here and write the whole thing. Now, if I want, I can modify this. You know, make it whatever I want. I'm gonna give it a smiley face over here so he gets those smiley faces here. But as you can see, I wrote a message to this connection over here that asked me about Evvy AI, and I didn't actually have to write what it does. The AI actually wrote what it does based on the persona. So like I said, if you're not using these tools, you need to start using them because it's extremely powerful. So where do you get Evvy AI? You just go to evyai.com, evyai.com, and you click on the Get Started button. If you do want to upgrade, we do have 2 options. Go to /upgrade, evyai.com/upgrade. We have the $29 a month option, or if you click on the yearly button, we can also offer it to you for $15 per month if you prepay for the year. That price is going up soon, so I highly recommend you grab the deal while it's still 50% off. That will not be available forever. And some of you might be wondering, Joe, what are you doing? Why are you offering this deal? Well, I really want 30,000 people to start using LinkedIn every single day with the power of artificial intelligence, and I want you to be one of those 30,000 people. So if you're in and you're with me, just write, I'm in, in the chat. This is just the beginning, the beginning of the revolution of LinkedIn, the beginning of the revolution of AI. LinkedIn is growing from 1 billion users. to 3 billion users. That was the commitment of the CEO. So it's really just the beginning of the power of LinkedIn, and LinkedIn is giving away free exposure to people right now. LinkedIn is giving away free exposure. Hey Derek, thank you so much for giving this post a comment, really appreciate it. Give this post a like if you see the little like button, go ahead and give it a like. It's either give it a heart or a light bulb. Let's see if you know how to do that. Also hit repost so more people can learn about this. There are many things that you can do with our AI. Number 1, I showed you how to post. Number 2 is you can save people to a particular list. Number 3 is you can leave comments. You can reply to comments that people left you, or you can leave comments proactively on people's posts, whether it's through the feed or whether it's those saved connections. Number 4 is you can send a message. You saw that way I responded to somebody's message with just a click of a button. Of course, I I included my persona, which I prepared. Number 5 is you can create personas. And if you want me to create your persona for you, let me know in the comments, right? Create my persona. And if I see it right now live, I will create a persona right now live using AI. I'll develop an entire persona for you right now. So let me know if you're interested in me creating a persona for you. Number 6 is you can write recommendations on particular people's profiles. I write recommendations all the time for my connections on LinkedIn. And when you write a recommendation for somebody, they get notified, they appreciate it. But more importantly, you are now sitting on their profile and you are getting exposure on their profile. There's a guy who his company does almost $1 billion in revenue, and I trained his team on how to leverage LinkedIn. I left him a recommendation. He approved that recommendation. Now I'm sitting front and center on his LinkedIn profile. Showing the world that I exist. That is powerful. If you're not using that, you're missing out big time. There are many, many other things that you can do with our AI. Like for example, send out connection notes. Let's say you find somebody and you wanna connect with them and build a relationship with them, but you're not sure what to say inside the note. The AI can help write up that entire connection note. Derek said create my persona. So I'm gonna go ahead, share my screen and show you the way that I create Derek's Persona in just a few clicks. I'm going to do that right now. And if you want me to create your persona, let me know that you want me to create your persona. So Derek just said create my persona. So I'm going to click on Derek's profile. I'm going to go right over here. See, this is Derek Power. Derek Power is an amazing entrepreneur, great guy, good friend. I appreciate him very, very much. I'm going to open up ChatGPT right now. I'm going to go here. And if you guys wanna learn how to use these tools, just let me know that you wanna learn AIs. Just write, I wanna learn AI. We do have a mastermind where we meet once a month and we work out how to leverage AI properly. So I'm going to pick this particular training data prompt right over here. I'm gonna give it the framework. If you want this framework, write, send me the framework, and I'll send you this entire framework. Now I'm gonna copy and paste information from Derek's profile right over here into the AI so it knows who Derek is. And it can create the persona for him on Evie AI. Okay. And I'm going to copy information right here like that into here. Experience, what we do, how we do it, just like that. Education. I'm going to grab some information about his education, just like that. Now, what I'm also going to do is I'm going to— I don't know why these 3 dots are not coming up over here, but let me just refresh and see if it comes up and I click on the refresh button. He should have more information here. Let me maximize his screen here. Oh, the see more button. The see more button stopped working. Um, yeah, I don't know why the see more button was not working, but let me switch off to ChatGPT right now. I'm gonna do stop sharing screen. I'm gonna share screen again. I'm gonna open up the ChatGPT window. Hopefully you guys could see the ChatGPT window. So I just basically copy and pasted all his information down here together with my framework and my prompt. And I'm gonna press go and it's gonna start typing up his persona. So check this out. Look at this. It's writing up his entire persona. I can use this persona for Evvy AI or for any other AI that I'm gonna be using. So you see the way that it talks about his company, his company name, his keywords, his passions and interests, his achievements, his skills, his communication style, his tone, his preferred phrases, his taboos, his personal interests, his hobbies, his educational background, his goals. You see that everything is all done and now it's writing ideas for LinkedIn posts just like that. Now we do have an idea generator within Evvy AI, but this is a great starting point if you need a bunch of ideas. And now it's also writing up his target market in just a few seconds. So it wrote up his entire persona. I'm gonna actually send this to him right now, just like this. I'm gonna copy it. I'm going to go into LinkedIn. I'm gonna go to my recent notifications, click on his profile, click on message, and then go like that. And I just sent him all this information. He can take part of this and then go into Evvy AI right over here, and then click on see all personas. And then on the top right, click on add persona. You can call it Derek, whatever. You can paste it right here. Derek Power. You see that? Click on person, pick his industry. His industry is construction. Um, he can pick his keywords, which helps Evie AI make your content SEO friendly. His tone, which is he's from Ireland, so he's funny, but I'm gonna make it friendly. Um, And I'm gonna press save persona. And now if I wanna write a post or generate ideas for him, on the left side where it says post writer, I can actually write a post as Derek Power. So now I can go in here, funny, and I can just do introduction post so he can introduce himself. Write a post about how this amazing Irish Person from London, this Irishman is changing the game in New York City with his construction business. Okay, I'm gonna press GPT-4, which is a bit smarter. And again, it's an introduction post. The tone is funny. The persona is Derek Power writing it. And then it's going to write a nice post as Derek Power about Derek Power. You see, howdy folks, I'm Derek Power, your friendly neighborhood Irishman. I'm here to tell you a tale about how leprechauns or pots of gold— not about leprechauns or pots of gold, but about something far more exciting, drywall and carpentry. I've been in the construction game for 20 years, for over 20 years, and let me tell you, It's been a wild ride. Very cool. So I'm going to copy this and I'm going to send it to him right over here. This is him telling his story. And of course it's much easier to edit this than it is to write it from scratch. So now he has a post that was written by my AI. Now one of the things to consider is that when writing a post with AI, you need to edit it. It doesn't just edit itself. You need to take it and make it better, but it's a good first draft for you to kind of work off. So if you enjoyed this, say thank you very much, Joe. This was very informative. This was very helpful. Let me know in the comments. Give this a like, give this a comment, hit the repost button. Let the world know that you got some value today. And let me know, what can you do to help me be able to get closer to my goal of getting 30,000 people to use LinkedIn every day with the power of AI? If you have an idea for me, let me know in the comments or send me a message. Let me know that you watched this, and I'll see you on the next video.
