How to build an engaged community on LinkedIn ! 064 LinkedIn Live 2024 with Joe Apfelbaum

I'm Joe Apfelbaum, CEO of Evvy Union and founder of Evvy AI. And today I want to talk about building a community on LinkedIn. Many people don't know this, but you have the opportunity to master your influence on LinkedIn and build a solid community to help you be able to build your business. And if you haven't done that in the past or haven't thought about LinkedIn as a community, well, today I'm here to show you how to use different tools in conjunction with LinkedIn, finding the people on LinkedIn. to build your community off LinkedIn. You see, I'm a really big fan of leveraging LinkedIn in a way that will actually get you results. And in order to do that, you can't just rely on LinkedIn alone. So let's dig right in. And I'm going to show you how I find engaged users on LinkedIn right now, and then how I stay top of mind with them, and then how I invite them to join my community. So in this short course, I'm gonna show you exactly how to build an engaged community on LinkedIn. So let's dig right in. I'm gonna share my screen and show you everything right now. So this is what my LinkedIn currently looks like right now. So I log into the LinkedIn homepage. If you're not familiar with LinkedIn or you're not sure how to leverage LinkedIn or how to use LinkedIn, well, LinkedIn is the world's largest professional social network. There's a billion people on LinkedIn. And right when you log into LinkedIn, You'll see a thing that says start a post, and then you'll start seeing the feed. I have an extension called Evvy AI installed that allows me to quickly be able to comment on people's posts. So if I just click on my little extension and I hit generate, it'll generate an extension based on my goal, my tone, and my persona. And this persona, I tell to, uh, write a quote, like to give a little feedback and to write a quote. And I'll show you how that works. Very, very powerful. And now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna tag her. And boom, I just left her a little quote over here. I love leaving quotes as comments. It's very engaging and very powerful. Now, in order to find the engaged users, what you want to do is you want to take a look at who actually, who actually has liked and who has commented on those posts, and you want to make sure you connect with those people. So if you see Aaron, he commented, and Ophir commented. I see, you see, I'm first-degree connections with these people already because I see that they're commenters. And I build a relationship with them. So if I click on his profile, you'll notice he, he even has a top, uh, podcasting voice. He's based in Israel. He has 5,000 followers, which is really, really nice. I'm gonna hit message and I'm gonna be like, how is your LinkedIn game going? So now I'm engaging with this engaged LinkedIn users. The last time that I messaged him was July of 2023. And now I see he's on LinkedIn, he's active. I'm also gonna drop a comment on his post as well to show his post a little bit of love as well. And that'll help him be able to trust me a little bit more because dropping posts on LinkedIn does build credibility, but I don't necessarily have the time to be able to manually post. And so I have the AI help me be able to create posts on people's profiles, which speeds everything up very, very quickly. Now, if you're watching this live right now, go ahead and give this a like. Uh, if you're watching the replay and you're able to leave a comment, go ahead and leave a comment. I'm gonna take a look at my live. So I do go on LinkedIn Live very often. My goal is to go 244 times per year on LinkedIn Live this year. And so if you go down and you take a look at my LinkedIn Live, you'll see that somebody already gave it a like. I'll take a look at who liked it. I open up their profile. And if I'm not connected to them and I see that they're local and I see that they have a nice amount of followers and I see that they're pretty active on LinkedIn, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna send them a connection request. But in order for them to want to accept my connection request, the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna have Evvy AI draft a short invite note under 20 words, uh, inspired by your activism and community building. Let's connect on LinkedIn. Boom. I just sent her a connection request. I didn't write the note. I had AI. Write the notes. So in case you're curious, the, the tool that I'm using is called Evy AI. So if you go to evyai.com, you can use it for free. If you click on get started, if you do wanna upgrade after, there is an upgrade option. There are 2 options. You either pay monthly, $29 a month, or we're running a promotion right now where you can get the annual for just $15 a month. So it gives you unlimited posts, unlimited comments. It's really, really powerful technology and we have people in 35 different countries around the world using this technology right now. Highly recommend you use it to save time and effort when you're building your community on LinkedIn. So building your community is more than just adding followers, more than just adding connections. You can add up to 30,000 followers. So if I click on my network over here, you'll notice, you see, I, before I was in the home, I clicked on my network. When you click on your network, you can see all the people that are waiting to connect with you on LinkedIn. So if you click on see all, by invitations, you're going to see I have over 1,000 people waiting to connect with me on LinkedIn. I can still message them from over here to build a relationship with them, even though we're not even connected on LinkedIn. So for example, this guy, uh, Zerach sent me a message, says I'm on Lunch Club. And then I replied to him. And if you look at the reply, we've been chatting, even though I haven't connected with him, we still are able to chat. So if someone hits you up, you can send them a message, but you have to go to this particular page. So if you go to my network, you'll notice that I do have quite a bit of connections. I do have 29,968 connections, including CEOs, business coaches, presidents of companies, um, all the, all different types of people. You know, what I love about connecting with these people, whether they're chief marketing officers or whether they're co-founders or sales leaders, is that these people are real people. When they're, when you're on a different platform, you don't know if the people are real or they're not real. So on this platform, people are real. So when I'm building a relationship with them, even though some of them might not have their photo here, and I'll talk to him about that, I sent him a little voice note today. Listen to the voice note that I sent him. I would love to share my perspective with you, Adam. If you want to hop on a quick call, just send me your cell phone number and I'll be more than happy to give you a buzz. I'm not sure if you guys heard that or not. Let me check my settings on my podcast tool right here just to see. If the mix minus is enabled, it's not enabled. That means you probably heard that audio there. Yeah. So I, I'm always connecting with people, building relationships, going deeper with them. That is my goal. And as you can see, Aaron already liked this comment that I left them in building that relationship. Now, when somebody— now take a look at my most recent post. I'm going to take a look at my most recent post over here on LinkedIn. In order to see someone's post, you go to their profile. In my case, you go to linkedin.com/in/joeapfelbaum. And then you scroll down and you could see my about section, my services, my featured posts, which I recommend you check out these 3 featured posts that I have over here. And then under that, you'll see my recent posts. So this is my live from 6 minutes ago, cuz we're 6 minutes into the live. Actually, we're 7 minutes into it now. And then you're gonna see, I posted a survey on LinkedIn. So I'm gonna click on this little survey. And as you can see, my question was curious to know if you'd rather build a community or would you rather join a community? As you can see, There are lots of people that said that they want to join a community. So if I want to create a premium community, what I need to do is I need to, um, first poll my audience and see who would like to join. And as you can see, lots of people want to join this community over here. So this guy over here, Utsav, said, would love to be part of a community that resonate with, to build a community of mine. I can bring people and sharing the same values. The community I want to build is around execution, accountability, and growth. Now, the reason he shared that is because I had a clear call to action on this post here. So the first step is to actually build your community on LinkedIn. The second step is to start serving your community to identify opportunities. So as you can see, I'm gonna give a little reply over here to him. I'm not gonna have to actually write the reply. The AI will write the reply. Now, there are lots of tools that allow you to build communities off LinkedIn, but before you get started on building a community off LinkedIn, What I like to tell people to do is to send a message to the people, to send a message to the people. Like for example, Joseph, I click on message. And as you can see, I sent him a message here that says, are you interested in joining a niche group of LinkedIn thought leaders that want to support each other? So I'm going to create a group called LinkedIn Thought Leaders. That's the group. That's the name of the group that I'm going to create. And I was looking into different options for communities. So there's one called Mighty Networks. I don't know if you ever heard of Mighty Networks. Networks. This is a pretty popular tool that a lot of people are using to build communities and build empires. Mighty Networks right over here, as you can see, the ultimate partner in building a community. Um, the only platform with people that bring their magic, brings members closer. So they have a feed. Basically, it's like your own private little social network, um, and you can charge money for it. If you go to the pricing tab, you can see it's $99 per month, $179, or $360 $9 per month, and you have lots of different options. And they also have a community edition, um, which is $41 a month. So that's one option. You can use Mighty Networks. The other option that you can use is called Circle, circle.so. So this is the all-in-one community platform for creators. So this one is built for creators and coaches. Um, you, it's, it's more modern. So it has events, courses, members, um, and it allows you to sell courses and have memberships over here. And of course events. This is more customizable and they say it's nicer. I've seen people use this that are creators and educators and it works really well. They start at $89 a month and they have $199 if you pay annually. The monthly is $99, $219, and $399. Um, the thing is, you know, with Circle you need to bring in your own community and you know, you have a limited amount of members that you can add. Uh, you know, and they, they, they do have a $49 option as well. Okay. But Circle's a really good option. People are liking Circle better than Mighty Networks. I personally signed up to someone's community on Circle. I really liked it. It worked really well. One of the benefits that you have from Circle is that you can actually go live right inside your event and you don't have to leave and send 'em to another platform where they, where they, you know, like Zoom or whatever. It all gets here and it just all gets stored here and it makes everything very, very seamless, very powerful and very seamless. You have the ability to chat with members. You can even segment members and classify them and so on. It's really cool what you can do. You can add roles to them and filters and stuff, which you can't necessarily do in other platforms. So Circle, if you're a creator, Circle's a really good option. Now there's a new option that is really coming out big out of the ballpark. It's called Skool. And if you click on Discover Communities, So it's skool.com/discovery. You'll notice many, many communities inside Skool. Now Skool's almost like a Udemy with a built-in community. I don't know if you guys ever heard of Udemy, but Udemy is U-D-E-M-E, where people kind of sell courses over here. So over here, people are selling communities. So this is a great place. Look at this one over here. This guy has 128,000 members. Now he built a free community. So you can have free communities and you can have paid communities in all different niches. Over here, he has a 333-member community that's private. That's $49 a month. So there's a difference between private communities and public communities. I would suggest if you're looking to join a community where you want people from other communities to join your community, you might want to consider Skool. Skool was actually created by Sam Ovens from consulting.com. I don't know if you ever heard of him, but I recently watched an interview and it was super how he built the business and how he got the funding and what he's doing. And he recently brought Alex Hormozi also. This is a little simpler. You get less integration features, but sometimes simple is better when it comes to building a community. And as you can see, they have lots and lots of communities. So I'm going to click on the filter button. I'm going to click on paid. And as you can see, they have, they have about 30 per page and they have 3 pages of paid communities. So They don't even have a lot of communities. Look at that. They have 1, 2, 3 pages of paid communities right over here. So that's not a whole lot of paid communities. Um, so you could definitely get a lot of exposure. And as you can see, some of these paid communities have 6 members. Some of them have 64 members. Some of them have 15 members. What I've seen people do is, uh, take a community in, uh, in their niche and As you can see, that, that was in the music community. There's the arts and crafts community. The personal development community is gonna be much, much bigger than that. As you can see in personal development, they have 21 pages of communities. So that's 30 times 21. That's almost 600 communities. If you click on all, you wanna see all the paid communities that they have. They have 34 pages, which is 30 times 34, which is a significant amount, close to 1,000. I would say around 1,000 communities. Really, really powerful to see how many communities they have on this platform. And you know, like if you go through these communities and you take a look at them, you'll notice something very interesting. They have 15,000 members and it says paid. Paid doesn't mean that the members necessarily paid. That means that it's a private group where they— where it's more of a paid community. 2.7 2,700 members doesn't mean that each one of them paid $8 a month. It could be that they made it free initially, and then once they got to 2,000 members, they, they put a price of $8 a month to it for additional members to join. So that's, it's a little misleading. Um, it's a little misleading sometimes if you take a look and you see this, you know, I've been exploring this particular tool. I think I'm going to be building a community on this tool, a paid community on this tool. Uh, for engaged LinkedIn users, because I do see that I have quite a bit of people that have filled out the form that say they want to be able to join this. And I'm only gonna have like a dozen or 2 dozen people initially that want to join. So check out how this community over here works. Over here, I introduced myself. Hi everyone. My name is Joe Apfelbaum. I grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Uh, but I live in New Jersey now. I love AI, sales, marketing, networking, and personal development. I have 3 businesses. And I basically break them down and then I go ahead and I share all the information over there. As you can see, there's 241 people watching. I'm part of this group called the Freedom Empire Group that I joined. And if you click on members, you can see a list of all the members. And if you click on online, you can actually see the people that are online right now that are using this right now. So for example, I'm gonna click on Mike. I click on Mike's profile, I pull it up over here. You can see on the bottom right here, he has his Instagram, his Twitter, his LinkedIn. So if I want to build a relationship with him, I'm not going to build it on this platform. I'm actually going to go onto LinkedIn and build a relationship here on LinkedIn. You see that? Now he has a little button here that says Dirty Little Secrets. I'm going to send him a connection request over here, and I'm going to add a note, and I'm going to have Evvy AI write the draft, the initial connection note. And then what I'm going to do, I was going to say impressed by your work. As if I'm going to say, I found you on Skool and would love to connect. Okay. As a marketing expert, I see synergies in our field. Let's connect. Okay. So I actually mentioned that I found him in Skool. If he accepts my connection request, I'm going to build a relationship with him, get to know him and all the people that are on Skool, they're already on Skool with, if they've paid for stuff, With one click of a button, they can pay for my community as well. Now, most of the people that are on Skool are free members. Most of them are not paid members. But this is— there are some premium communities. Like, for example, I signed up to this YouTube Thought Leaders community. I'm paying $5 per month to be part of this community. I shared my video on here, and as you can see, Tom Kriegelstein liked my video as a result of it. He calls it the LLL. So this community's about people that want to build up their YouTube, and I'm pretty new on YouTube, but as you can see, I just joined this group and I already have a level 2 gamification. So there's a leaderboard that shows all the different members in the group, and it encourages you to engage in that particular group. There's another group that I'm part of where I, it's called AI Mastery, which was free. He said he's going to start charging now. He's up to 1,500 members. They said they got there in 5 days. So 1,500 members in 5 days. Very, very possible. Very powerful. If you click on the members, you can see there are 12 online out of 1,500. That's not bad. There are other groups that I'm part of, like for example, the Virtual Power Networkers. I click on members. I see I'm the only one online on the group. That's not great. I want to join communities where the people are actually online. They're, they're there. They're putting stuff in, they're doing stuff. So this guy over here just introduced himself. Hey, I'm curious how AI can help me. And again, I'm building relationships with these people, commenting and so on. And you know, the best way for you to build your own community from LinkedIn is for you to first go and join a community and pick a platform. So I give you 3 different options for platforms to pick, but in order for you to fill those communities, you want to first— Build that relationship, those relationships on LinkedIn in order for you to be able to do that. And the way that you find engaged people on LinkedIn, in my case, what I do is I go live, I see who engages with me. I also share surveys. I also post on a regular basis. So all the people that have posted on my, that have commented on my posts, what I'll do is I'll reach out to them and build an actual real relationship with them. Um, I'll also reply to their posts to make sure that they know that I actually care about them and I'm kind of rewarding them for being active and leaving comments on my posts. So that's really a best practice for you to build community. Under each post, you build a mini little community, but eventually what you want to do is you want to build a free or paid community on a tool. Um, and if you need help, Uh, learning how to use Skool and you want to learn how to build that and you want a little course on how to do that, let me know. I'll be sharing it with people that comment the word Skool in the comments of this post, whether you're watching this on Facebook or on LinkedIn or on YouTube. Let me know and I'll be happy to create a little video on how I leverage Skool or Circle or Mighty Networks or one of those tools. I'd be very, very happy to connect with you and build a relationship with you and learn about you. Just write the word school in the comments and I'll send you some details where you can learn more about how that works. And as you can see, I have clients from all over the world, people from all over the world leaving comments over here, and I'm replying to them, which is how I'm building community. And of course, messaging people and creating group messages and sending people around, that's really, really powerful. So Hopefully you learned a little bit on how I'm doing it. Creating a form, sending that form, that Google Form, and sending that form to people is going to be key. If you're not doing that, if you're not creating a form and sending that form to people, you're really going to miss out on the ability to collect people's contact information. Now I want to share something with you. It is difficult to build a community, and not difficult because the people aren't there. It's difficult because you're gonna try to make it perfect and you're gonna question yourself. The key is literally just to get started. Start with making a little event. I have a networking event that happens every single month, and sometimes I get a dozen people to join. Sometimes I get 100 people to join. I do webinars and classes on a regular basis. Sometimes I'll get 30 people to join. Sometimes I'll get 200 people to join a webinar. I want you to realize that it's not about the masses, but it's about building those real relationships and getting those people to engage, finding people that have like-minded things going on together. For example, the engaged LinkedIn thought leaders, the LinkedIn thought leaders, those are people that are engaged on LinkedIn, that are thought leaders, and that enjoy networking and building relationships with each other. Those are the 3 things they have in common. So when you find out the trifecta, Mm-hmm. Not everybody wants to be a thought leader. Not everybody's engaged on LinkedIn. Most people are not. And not everybody are interested in networking and actually getting on calls and building relationships and so on. So if you want to do those 3 things, that's what my community is going to be about. So if you want to join that, just write engaged thought leaders in the comments, and I'll be more than happy to send you the form that I've been sending other people. Now I have over 50 people that filled out that form. Not all 50 people said that they're interested in paying. Only a percentage of those people said that they're interested in paying. And I'll take that percentage of people that said they're interested in paying, and then I will send them a payment link for them to sign up. And if I get 2 dozen people or 16 people to join, now I have a real community. Now, I also hired community managers. To help me manage that community. So the idea behind the Engaged Thought Leaders community is that we're going to come in, we're going to express ourselves, we're going to connect, we're going to get to know each other, and then we're going to share our content and people are going to write what they think about our content and they're going to engage with our content and they're going to— we're going to have some courses in there where people can learn how to be a better thought leader in all the different platforms. So if that's something that you're interested in and you want to be an engaged thought leader in our community, let me know that you're interested and I'll be happy to send you that form to fill out. And I'm really excited about building a community of engaged thought leaders. I announced it at the end of last year. A lot of people raised their hand. They said they're interested. Most people that said they're interested did not take the time to fill out the form. That's a really great way to know if someone's actually interested in something. Is if you make a form and then they go and fill out that form. If somebody doesn't fill out the form, they're not really interested. That's really the truth. If you create a form, if somebody says, hey, I'm interested, and you create a form and you say, fill out this form, and they don't fill out the form, are they really interested? That's how you can tell if they're really interested. If they actually go through, make them jump through some type of a hoop. And then once they fill out the form, you'll know if they're really interested or not. And if you can get dozens of people to say that they're interested in something, Then you have something real. So now I'm curious to know, what would your community be about? If you had a community, I want you to take a moment right now with me. Let's brainstorm. What are the 3 things that your tribe has in common? Maybe they're interpersonal development. And by the way, going into that school section over there or going into the category on Udemy or one of these places, It'll tell you all the different categories that are available so that you can get ideas. So if you want ideas on what type of community to build, just write ideas in the chat and I'll send you a list of ideas that's connected to your own niche. I'll go to your profile, copy the information from your profile, and give you ideas on your niche. So maybe your niche is travel. Maybe your niche is pets. Maybe it's cars. Maybe it's productivity. Maybe it's sports, gaming, real estate, beauty, finance, spiritual, Sexuality, technology, sales and marketing, love. I can literally tell you the niche to go for based on who you are, but you have to write ideas in the chat and I'll be more than happy to give you a couple of ideas. And we can do this in real time now because we're live. I'm happy to do it in real time. Or if this is the replay later, um, you can hit me up personally on LinkedIn and say, hey Joe, I need an idea for a community to launch. I'd love to launch a community, but I'm not 100% sure what type of community I should launch. I'm happy to assist you and help you out and help you be able to find that niche. A lot of the times talking about your niche will help you come up with your niche. A lot of the times meeting with other people and engaging with them and saying, hey, would you like to join a community? Is this something that you'd like to do? And you know, at the end of the day, courses, there's a million courses out there, but the reality is people want to be part of a community with other people. The best way to learn is to learn in a social group. So if you can join some social group and you can engage with other people that have, that are like-minded and that want to learn the same thing as you, then you're actually gonna learn because you're learning together with other people and you're networking with them and you're building a relationship with them and you're growing your business together with them. So that's why community's so important. And that's why people are kind of leaving the course world and going into the community world. And that's a trend that I'm seeing a lot. with Mighty Networks and Circle and even Facebook. Look how much effort they're putting into Facebook groups, which by the way, I have a thriving Facebook group, but Facebook is stopping to show my posts to the vast majority of the members. That means I'm no longer in control of my members. And I wanna be able to connect with people and build a relationship with them and get to know them. And that's why before I invite someone to my community, what I'll do is I'll first have them fill out a form. Because on that form, what I'm going to do is I'm going to find out information like number one is, are you willing to pay? Whether you're willing to pay or not, let me know because I might have a free community as well for you. Are you willing to create a valuable piece of content on LinkedIn every week? Are you comfortable with video? Are you willing to engage on the community weekly? Are you willing to be a group leader and host your own meetings? What version of LinkedIn do you have? How many followers do you have? What's your LinkedIn URL? What's your email? What's your cell? Do you use WhatsApp? What topics do you want to cover in thought leadership? Why do you want to join a community of engaged thought leaders? What else can you tell us about why we should prioritize you on this waitlist? What is your email address? And so on and so forth. So understanding how to be able to configure this in the best way possible, like for example, That form and how to build out that form is going to be key if you're looking to build a community, is making sure that you put that together. So if you found this as valuable, make sure to leave a comment, write valuable. I'm curious to know who found this as valuable. I want to wrap this up, but I want to show you a couple of additional hacks to find engaged users and how to build a community on LinkedIn. So So one of the things that I love to do is finding people on LinkedIn that are super active. So let me show you how to do that. I'm going to share my screen again right now so you can see my screen. Hopefully you can see my screen right now. Let me just make sure that you can. Okay, you can see my screen. I am going to go to Evy AI. So I'm going to go to evyai.com. I'm going to click on add Evy AI to Chrome just to kind of show you what we have over here. Chris Ward said, hands down the best AI tech tool I've ever used. It's a complete game changer. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it 100. Wow. Talk about happy customers. Talk about happy, happy customers. Wow. I'm so impressed by how happy our clients are and what they, you know, like they're just so happy. I'm, I'm, I'm onto something. I'm telling you, I'm onto something. All right, let me, let me go onto LinkedIn over here. Helena said agree, which is awesome. Let me go back into Evvy AI. I'm gonna go to the top and I'm gonna click log in so you can log in for free. On the left side, I'm going to click on saved profiles, and now I'm going to click a list, and I'm going to click on influencers. Okay, so I have a list of influencers that I saved. So with Evie AI, you can actually save specific people into lists. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to show the last 50 people that are here. So for example, I have Gary Vaynerchuk and Alex Hormozi. So I'm going to pull up Alex Hormozi's recent posts. Now Alex Hormozi Uh, is the, uh, he's, he's the CEO of acquisition.com and the co-owner of skool.com. So I didn't start looking at Skool until Alex Hormozi kind of got involved with it because he's pushing a lot of people to Skool. So what I'm gonna do is I'm actually gonna leave a comment on his post. Now check this out. I know the people that are commenting on his post too. Absolutely, Alex. Success isn't just about routines, it's about seizing opportunities. I'm going to press post. He has 319,000 followers. Now his followers that are engaged are potential clients for me. And as you can see, if these people are engaged over here, I need to connect with them and build those relationships with them. They're already leaving comments and they're fans of Alex Hormozi. You see that? So what I can do is I can go through these commenters and connect with them and build a relationship with them. So what do I do? I'm going to control-click on each person over here and check out their profiles to see if they're the right people. Okay, I'm just going to click control-click on a few. So let's pull these up. This guy is a risk rating email browser security for CISOs. You can see its information over here. He has 3,000 followers. He's reposting. He posted 12 hours ago. Cute. Okay, I'm gonna move on. Not so excited. Judith, she's inspired by Induex. She's in Sweden. We have some customers in Sweden. She posted a week ago. She's a trainer for Tony Robbins. She worked for Spotify. Eh, that's okay, but she has no recommendations. So if she has no recommendations, I'm not going to connect with her. This guy's based in Ontario. It looks like he's a coach. He could really use our services. I'm going to scroll down. I took a look at his posts. I see he posted the last time a day ago, uh, and he received recommendations. So he'd be great. He'd be great. Um, let's see over here. He has a school. It looks like he has a school community. I'm going to click on his school community. I'm going to check out his mastermind. It looks like he has 10 members in his mastermind. So this guy's perfect for me. He's trying to grow his school mastermind. He only has 1,000 followers on LinkedIn. Okay? And I'm gonna press connect. I'm gonna have Evvy AI draft a post for me. And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna say, hey Maxwell, impressed by your client-centric approach. I see you are trying to build up a school community. I just did a live about it. Let's connect. Okay. I already wrote, let's connect. I'm gonna press insert. I'm gonna press send. And now he's building a school community right over here. You see that? He's building a secure community. He has recommendations, he's posting, and now I send him a connection request. Now he does have 85 likes on this post, which I love. It means he's really engaged with a lot of people. So I love that. I'm gonna press this here. I'm gonna hit generate. And now what I'm going to do is I'm going to drop a comment so he notices me. I'm also going to tag him. You see, I pressed the@ sign and tagged him. Okay, I just tagged him as well. So I sent him a connection request. I took a look at his profile. I made sure it made sense, but I found him, uh, as him leaving a comment on Alex Hormozi's post. So he's trying to build his community. I know how to build a community. I know how to find people. He only has 1,000 followers on LinkedIn, I can really help him out with his LinkedIn. And that's kind of like what I did there. Okay. Hopefully you got some value from this. Hopefully you saw this is only a penny in the bucket of what I can teach you how to do. This is only a tiny little bit. I can teach you how to be able to get clients, how to use marketing automation, how to use SMS automation, how to be able to use artificial intelligence. I have this really incredible class every single month for 3 hours. It teaches people how to use AI together with LinkedIn. So if you wanna learn how to use AI and you wanna be invited to my class, it's 3 hours long and you get 12 different programs with 1,000 ChatGPT prompts that are part of that class. So if you'd like to join that class, that happens monthly, let me know. Just write AI in the chat. And I really appreciate you watching this video, this link, this live with me. And, uh, if you wanna stay tuned about the community, let me know and I'll see you on LinkedIn. Boom.
