How to get people on LinkdIn Live that are LIVE on LinkedIn - 139 LinkedIn Live 2024 with Joe Apf…

In this extensive live tutorial, Joe Apfelbaum demonstrates a practical workflow for attracting participants to a LinkedIn Live broadcast without prior event planning. He starts by confirming he is live, then shows how to copy the live post link, locate the associated event page, and use the link to invite connections. The core strategy hinges on identifying which of his connections are currently online, indicated by green dots (online) and green dots with a white inner dot (available). He leverages a custom Chrome extension called "LinkedIn Presence Checker" to lazy‑load large batches of connections, filter out the online subset, and export the list to CSV. Using the Evie AI Chrome extension, he creates reusable message templates (e.g., "I'm on LinkedIn Live right now, please join me") and quickly sends personalized DMs to the online contacts, avoiding profile views that could trigger LinkedIn's automation limits. He also demonstrates how to save templates, manage multiple accounts (including adding himself as admin to company pages), and generate dashboards that visualize connection data. Throughout, he emphasizes manual, low‑impact actions (lazy loading, limited profile views) to stay within LinkedIn's usage policies while achieving high outreach efficiency. The session expands to broader LinkedIn growth tactics: daily posting using Evie AI's Post Writer, setting a goal of one post per day, and a disciplined commenting routine (20‑50 comments per day) powered by AI‑generated suggestions. He showcases how to track activity via LinkedIn analytics and Evie AI dashboards, and discusses scaling the approach by coordinating multiple promoters to message their online connections simultaneously. The tutorial blends hands‑on UI navigation, custom tooling, and strategic advice for maximizing live event attendance and overall LinkedIn engagement.

Right now I'm on LinkedIn Live. I'm really not sure if I'm on LinkedIn Live, to tell you the truth, but I'm supposedly on LinkedIn Live because I'm supposed to be on LinkedIn Live. So let's just double-check to see if I'm on LinkedIn Live. I'm on my profile. I should be on LinkedIn Live. Let me see if it's streaming or not streaming. Yeah, it says streaming. That means it should be streaming. Yep. All right, let's see if it's streaming. This is how you do it. You go to your profile, you click on show all posts. And now it's streaming. You see, this is me on LinkedIn Live. Now, how do you get people to join your LinkedIn Live? What is the steps to get people to join if you're impromptu on LinkedIn Live? Now, if you planned it out, you created an event, then you can promote it. There are many different ways to invite people to an event, and we'll discuss that in the future, in future videos. But this is episode 139, and I'm discussing how to get people on LinkedIn Live. I'm going to give you a couple strategies. First of all, you see these 3 dots on the top right corner? You click on these 3 dots You click on copy link to post. Okay, now that I have a link to this post, if I paste this link in a new tab, what you'll see is an event. This is the event page right here. This is the event page. Now I have the actual URL of the event page. What I'm going to do is I'm going to take this URL of the event page, I'm going to click on messaging, and I'm going to craft a message. I'm going to go into this Sprint Booster and I'm going to say, I actually am on LinkedIn Live right now. If you want to watch, please join me. Okay, I'm gonna paste this in. I'm gonna press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, and then I'm gonna hit send. And now I'm going to go here and invite my people to join me as well. Um, let's see, I'm going to tell Erica. To join. I'm going to tell the ETL community to join. I'm going to tell the JVMM community to join. I'm going to go to Link Booster and tell people to join. And then I'm going to find additional people. Now, do you see these dots? For example, this guy Jacob. Jacob is currently online. Why is— how do I know Jacob's online? Look at this green dot you see next to his name, next to his picture, there's a green dot. So what I want you to realize is that the people that have the green dot next to their name, that means they're online right now. And so what I can do is I can send them messages that invites them to join, um, if they want to join. Look at that. I'm going to go here. What did he write? He wrote over here, it seems nice to do the artificial thing. Unable to give kudos to anyone. Something changed. I would love to give kudos again. Um, actually on LinkedIn Live, I will review the kudos thing on the live. Okay guys, so that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna discuss the kudos thing in a minute. Um, but over here people are saying thank you very much. Now there's a difference between, um, the green dot and then the green dot with the white dot inside it. Um, you see the people with the white dot inside it are available to show up, but the people with the, with the green dot, that means they're actually online. So let's see if we can find, um, let's see if we can find those people starting to buzz me if you're free. Buzz me when you're free, but buzz me when you're free. Okay, great. Well, call yourself. Okay, now I'm going to go over here. Um, Jen, make sure I call Don G today. Um, I'm gonna go to Spring Booster. I'm actually live. This guy Guy said happy birthday, doing anything special? You see he's online right now. So let's say I want to find all the people that are online, all my connections. Um, how do I find all my connections that are online right now? I'm going to show you a couple more. Let me see. Okay, I'm in school. We're looking for a examples. Where am I looking for examples, please? Can you search for personas in the search? Okay, I'm gonna go here to Sprint Booster. I'm gonna paste this in. I'm gonna let these people in. I'm gonna tell this person that I'm online. You see this person has a green dot. Mandy said, no, not really. Let's see. Hi, I'm testing it. I'm not convinced yet it's worth the top of the expense. Just ChatGPT. directly. Understood. However, if you watch the workflow, you will see how much time— how much time you save. Thanks. Let me know if you saw the demo. I leave 250 comments A week, and I would not be able to do that if not for Heavy AI. Okay, so he says he's still using LinkedIn. Okay, great. So this guy's not really using LinkedIn, so I'm just going to disconnect from him by removing that connection just like that. All right, he doesn't use LinkedIn. Have a good day. I'm not going to try to convince somebody to use LinkedIn. So how do I find more people to join my LinkedIn Live? I'm going to click on the top left corner here where it says Network, and you see I have a lot of people that are waiting to connect with me on LinkedIn. I'm going to hit Show All Invitations. Now it's going to take me to my Invitation Manager, as you can see, and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on People, and I see all these people, but it doesn't show me the green dots. Where do you go to see all the green dots of people? You know, over here you can actually see people that are waiting to connect with you, And be able to do things like, for example, Jeremy Fox, sales executive. I think I missed a call with him yesterday. Um, I'm going to send you this over here. Uh, I'm going to say, have me call him today too. Okay. I'm going to go back to the message that I just sent Jeremy Fox. I'm going to copy this message. I can actually save this message as a template inside Evie AI if I want. I just have to click on this little Evie AI button here, click on Save Profiles, and then on the left side click on Templates, and then I can click on New Templates. I can call it LinkedIn Live. Now I'm going to say message, and then I'm going to paste this in. I'm actually on LinkedIn Live right now. If you want to watch, please join me. Would love to have you. Participate talking about about how to get more people to see a LinkedIn live. Hit save. Okay, so you see that? I'm gonna I'm gonna go home. Now I have it as a template inside Evie AI. So if I want to use this as a template inside Evie AI, I could just. use it as a template like this. Joe, thank you for conducting an excellent session on 10/2. Many golden nuggets. During the session, you mentioned you'd help us create a dashboard. I reviewed my notes and I can't find what needs to be in order to make this happen. Big takeaway is the secret to living is giving. Please, your 5x5 framework is wow. So I'm going to say strategy.evi.ai/dashboard. Check the video there. Okay, so now I just did that. Let's see what else. This guy, I'm actually on LinkedIn Live. He didn't say anything to me after I said that to him. That's fantastic. Okay, so I'm going to go here to the notifications. Now I see people are commenting on my posts. I see people are taking activity. Do you see this green dot here? So this person over here, Nancy Beth, she's live. That green dot showed up in my notifications. So I'm going to go ahead and send her this. Okay, now I'm going to click on My Network. I'm going to show you a quick hack that you're going to freak out on. If I click on Connections right here, you see that I clicked on Connections, it's going to show me all of my LinkedIn connections. Okay, so you can zoom in, you can see all my LinkedIn connections. How many connections do I have? I have 29,900 and whatever, so I can add up to 7 more connections. I have 1,000 that want to connect with me, but I can add up to 7 more, so I have to remove some. But do you see these green dots? These green dots means they're currently online. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna send these people that are currently online this message telling them that I am currently using Evvii AI. Now I'm gonna leave the hi Charles thing there, and you see it says, hi Charles, I'm actually on LinkedIn Live right now. If you wanna watch, please join. And I'm only gonna focus on sending it to people that are actually on line. You see the people with the green dots that are available right now online. So I'm excited about doing this. Now, if I want to see all the people that are online right now, what I need to do is I need to click down to the very bottom. Now, how do you, how do you show more results? So I'm going to click on Show More Results right now, but before I do that, what I'm going to show you is when you click the center of your mouse, you might have a wheel in your mouse, it turns into this like circle. And when you hold the down button, it gets you to the bottom of the page. So if I hit show more results and then I click on the circle of my mouse and I hold it down like this, what's going to end up happening is it's going to start loading all of my connections and then I'll be able to see who has a green dot. But I built a Google Chrome extension that I'm going to make available to some of the people that write, um, just write, I want to see who's online in the chat. And then I'll show— I'll teach you how to get that Chrome extension. But check this out. I'm going to go like this. I'm going to click the Show More button. Then I'm going to click the mouse and I'm going to hold it down. Now I can go slow, or if I pull down all the way, I can start going really, really fast. And now if I hit Show More Results, Show More Results, and I hold down my mouse like this, what's going to end up happening is it should automatically just keep showing more and more results. I'm going to hit Ctrl+0. I'm going to scroll down to the bottom, and now it's When I was zoomed in, for some reason, every time it said show more results, show more results. But if I zoom out to Ctrl+0, now it's just automatically loading. So my goal is to say load 1,000 people. And out of my most recent 1,000 connections, I don't know how many connections you have, but in the chat, you can let me know how many connections you have right now. In my most recent 1,000 connections, I can determine out of 1,000 people, who are the people that are actually online right now? Who have, who are available if I message them, you know, with the green dot with the white dot in it. And then, um, who are people that are completely offline and that are just not available? So could you imagine if you knew who those people are? Now, I don't want to have to like go crazy and go through the 1,000. So I created a Google Chrome extension that will automatically just filter out all the people that are currently online so that I can focus only on messaging those people right now. Instead of having to message everybody on the list. And then what I can also do is I can then export those people into a CSV file. CSV stands for comma-separated values file. So one key thing to note here is that I'm actually not refreshing the linkedin.com/mynetwork/invite-connect/connections. I'm not refreshing anything, so I'm not creating any page loads on LinkedIn. I'm just doing something called a lazy load, which means it's loading information from LinkedIn without causing additional, additional activity on LinkedIn per se. And so because I'm just loading things on LinkedIn without causing activity on LinkedIn, I'm just loading things on my computer. LinkedIn is not getting notified that I'm loading all these people here. So if I do searches within this, within my connections, it's not affecting my LinkedIn account in any way. So this is a great way for you to be able to do activities on LinkedIn, like message connections and be active and identify things on your profile without— and, and see real-time information about LinkedIn without affecting LinkedIn servers. So like, I don't wanna, I don't wanna impact LinkedIn in a negative way and load tons of pages. Every time you load the page, ads load and all their scripts load. I just wanna load. All of my recent connections, let's say in the past year or so. And so this is doing it automatically without my hands, without me doing anything. There's no, there's no automation. I literally just took my mouse and dragged down, and now it's just automatically just loading more and more and more people. So you can see these are all the people that I connected to in the past 9 months. So far it says 9 months ago. So you can see on the screen over there, it says, um, 9 months ago. Now it says 10 months ago. So I don't know how long you've had LinkedIn, but if you've had LinkedIn, say for the past 10 years or 20 years, and in the comments you can let me know how long you've been using LinkedIn, you can easily go ahead and identify which of your connections you've had for what period of time. But as you can see, I just loaded all my connections in the past 10 months. I'm going to stop loading just for a second just to check my calendar, see what I have next going on. Um, okay, it looks like I don't have really anything that's crazy important that I have to go to right now, so I'm going to keep doing this for you guys. If you're enjoying this, right, I'm enjoying this in the chat. I'm going to quickly go to another tab and I'm going to click on messages just to see if anybody responded to any of these messages yet. Okay, it doesn't look like anybody responded yet. Now what I'm going to want to do is I'm going to want to fill this entire list with people who are actively, you using LinkedIn right now, who are on LinkedIn. So let's just stop checking for people in the past 10 months. I'm going to click on this Chrome extension called the— what did I call it? I call it the LinkedIn Presence Checker. I'm going to hit check connections. So out of the 2,000 people that I connected in the past 10 months, 152 of them are online, 318 are reachable, and 1,600 are offline. So who are the 152 that are online? I'm just going to do— Filter, show only online. Okay, so now it's showing me only the people that are online. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to start messaging these people, and you can just message them by clicking on the message button, and it doesn't impact anything else. You see that? Um, it doesn't impact anything else on their profile. I'm actually on LinkedIn Live right now. If you want to watch, please join me. Okay, so now I'm going to send it to all these people here. And this allows me to be able to message people without loading their profile. So you can only load about 100 profiles per day or so on LinkedIn, 150, 200 profiles per day before you start getting flagged that you're using automation. Because technically speaking, how many people can you technically load on LinkedIn? And if you're loading too many things, it becomes problematic. And so what I like to do is I love to figure out ways where I don't impact LinkedIn servers in a way that it'll bring down its server. If every single connection on LinkedIn, um, did something on LinkedIn to bring down its server, it would be very, very difficult for LinkedIn to be able to handle all the activity. But if you're doing things without, without automation, right, I'm manually doing things. Um, and you're doing things in a smart way, the way that I'm doing it, you're gonna be able to send out 150 messages to people without even loading 150 things. There's just messages being sent to people without loading anything. So I'm going ahead and I am not even load— doing any loads on LinkedIn. And, and I learned this from automation tools, um, that I see the way the automation tools are doing this so that it doesn't impact LinkedIn in a negative way. And so after seeing how they're doing it, I was like, okay, I could do it without automation and do the same thing. Right. I, I don't have to use automation. I can manually go ahead and send messages to these people that are currently active now on LinkedIn. And I can invite them to a LinkedIn Live because I'm on LinkedIn Live right now. They're on LinkedIn right now. So why not send 'em a quick message letting them know, hey, I'm on LinkedIn. Now the question is, how long would it take me? To message 100 people on LinkedIn. I don't know, you tell me how long is it? Or even if you're messaging 20 or 30 or 40 people. Now you can also search for people based on their name if you want. You can search people based on if they recently connected to you or other factors. But if you're not using the LinkedIn search tools, you can see I already messaged Amber. I'm going to go to Julio over here. Sent a message to Julio. Some of these people I messaged recently, like this guy over here I messaged recently, and some people I haven't messaged in quite some time. And so it's interesting to see how this all pans out, um, and determine if any of these people actually are joining. Now, if you're actually joining this live right now and you're watching this live because you received a message from me, Let me know in the chat. I'm curious to know if this actually works or not. Um, because I would be curious to say, okay, if, if I'm like a party promoter, could you imagine, um, I have 10 people doing this together and promoting a particular live at a given time? Um, I know a lot of people are at work right now and maybe they wouldn't wanna join a live in this moment, but could you imagine if you find your 150 people that are currently using LinkedIn at the same time that you are using LinkedIn and you invite them all to a live and they all join? How nice would that be? So LinkedIn actually notifies you who's actually using LinkedIn at the same time that you are, but to make sure that you can filter those out, that's where artificial intelligence comes in because AI can help you figure out, out of all your connections that you're currently connected to on LinkedIn right now, which one of them are actually using LinkedIn right now. And so I picked 2,000 of my most recent connections. I showed you the hack on how to do that. And now I'm sitting here messaging 150 of them. Now I can easily export all of these as a spreadsheet and have an automation tool automatically message these people. So, um, this way I don't have to do it manually. But even if you're against automation tools and you're not willing to use any automation tools and you just want to manually just either copy and paste or use the Evy AI template feature or use the custom message for each person, You can see all these people have a green dot on their profile, which means they are all online right now. And so I find it really interesting to be able to message a dozen or 2 dozen people. And again, even if they say, okay, I can't make them, I can't make the meeting right now, they're gonna see this video at some point in the future and they may want to watch it. They may want to like on it. They may want to comment on it. And they're gonna be like, oh, that's really, really cool. Um, so I find it fascinating that I figured out these little tools to be able to create solutions for people in ways that will really support them and help them be able to do what they need to do. And my goal is to create new features to Evie AI. And in order for me to create these new features in Evie AI, what I need to do is I need to test out these features on my own, and then from there I'm able to Uh, create new additional features. And so what I do is I look through the list of people to see who's online and who's not online, and then I message those people and build a relationship, get to know them, and identify, okay, is this too many people that I messaged today? You know, if I have too many conversations, it's also a problem because if everybody responds at the same time, could you imagine every one of these connections are responding at the same time and now I'm having a real-time conversation with 152 people. That's way too many people. So I'm going to slow down for a second. I'm going to stop at Steve. Maybe I'll do Scott for a second because I know who Scott is. I'm going to quickly send Scott a message. As you can see, the last time I messaged him was in January, but he's live on LinkedIn. So I would prioritize the people that are live on LinkedIn. I'm going to go here to the messages and then I'm going to just quickly scroll through these messages. To see how many I sent out. So look at this. I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40. 40. I was gonna say 36. We're gonna go for another 14 messages. We stopped at Scott. We're gonna keep going. Mike Mahoney. Oh, and it shows right here. I sent 20 messages in this particular window. You see on the bottom here, it says 20 messages, 1 of 20. And he says, I didn't email you, and yes, I get the daily emails. It's been fun keeping up with a small group of people here. And I, and I, so I'm gonna message Mike. Just like this. I'm gonna probably do another, um, 12, a dozen messages more. So I'm curious to know in the chat, you could let me know if you guys want, um, how many people do you message each day? Like, do you have a goal for how many people you wanna message each day? And I love the way that LinkedIn automatically puts the person's name in there for me, so I don't have to actually sit there and type in their name. So again, I'm not using any automation right now. I'm doing all this manually. I'm literally copying and pasting. If I want to use automation, I can, but I want to show you how easy it is to send out 50 to 100 messages to your connections that you're currently connected to on LinkedIn. Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on this little notifications button over here just to kind of see how do I download to a spreadsheet? Erica wants to know. Great question, Erica. I'm going to pull up Erica's profile. Erica is based in Brooklyn, New York. If you want to download to a spreadsheet, there's a few different options. Number one is you click on the extension that I created over here, the LinkedIn Presence Checker, and then you see over here where it says Export Online Connections, it'll export it to a CSV file. You can also export the reachable ones or the all active connections, or you can export all of your connections just like that. There's another way to export your connections. If you go to strategy.eveai.com/dashboard, And if you want a dashboard, just let me know you want one. We can have Eva, um, Ava be able to produce a dashboard for you. And so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and send you this. Let me see if I can send you a message on LinkedIn. I'm gonna send you this right now as a message on LinkedIn. And if you approve this, I can send you more details, but I just sent you a link so that you, we can export all of your connections and put it into a dashboard. And I can show you in real time how I, how I produce that dashboard. I have a video here that explains the whole thing, upload your LinkedIn connections dashboard, but essentially it throws it into Google Drive for right now. And in Google Drive, I have a folder that it puts it into called the 2024 blah, blah, blah. And then for example, Jim North's connections, you see that he asked me about his connections. I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to click the spreadsheet button and it's going to turn it into a spreadsheet. And because he uploaded it, you see it's already in a spreadsheet. I'm going to delete the first 3 rows, and then I'm going to freeze the first row here. And now I'm going to bold it. And as you can see, when you scroll down, it's still here. So all of his connections are here. I'm going to modify this to say Heavy AI Pro LinkedIn Connections. Dashboard. You see that? So now I have all of his connections over here. Now if I want, what I can do is I can further customize these connections by opening up, say, Barry's. And then what I can do is I could go ahead and grab some additional variables like these variables, Ctrl+C, and I can go in here and paste these variables here. And then I can Ctrl+C these and and paste them in here. So this way you can easily filter out for all those. So if you want me to prepare something like this for you, I'm happy to prepare this for you. This way we can do pivot tables after. I'm actually gonna send this one to Jim North directly as he's a client of mine. Jim North, I'm gonna just email him this right here. Right now. So I'm gonna click on share. I'm gonna share it with him. I'm gonna make him an editor of it. I'm gonna hit share anyway. And now he has access to this spreadsheet. And eventually what's gonna happen is all this is gonna be inside Evy AI. So we're working on getting that together. Um, and if you're interested in getting a dashboard like this temporarily, I'm happy to support you and get you a dashboard. You just go to evystrategy.evyai.com/dashboard or write, I need a dashboard in the chat. And I'll be happy to send you that dashboard. All right, let's go back to my recent activity over here. I'm going to click on me. I'm going to click on view profile. I'm going to go to my recent activity here on, um, on LinkedIn just to kind of see if it's still showing. Okay, so it's still showing. It looks like we have 10 comments. Let me quickly look at these comments. This is the only way you can really see comments on live, just to see who's Who's on here? So let's see, we have Myla, we have Larnie, we have Lisa, we have Charlene. It looks like you're doing a deep dive in LinkedIn strategy. What's your biggest struggle going live? My 3rd day posting, I got a lead, a strategic partnership, best app ever. I'm going to say, wow, thank you for sharing the value you get from www.evyai.com. It's kind of funny to watch you live adding people to watch you live. It's like Inception. So the question is, Did you build EvieAI.com? Yes, I built EvieAI.com and we have 15,000 people in 37 countries using it now. Okay, I'm going to fix this and I'm going to hit reply. So you on Facebook, you had one viewer, me, then I wanted to come here and see how it's going on the other side. Um, glad you are here. Okay, I'm gonna hit reply and then it's gonna say, hi, can you share the link here please? I'll pull it up. I pulled up late. Which link? Um, and this is how do you download to a spreadsheet. I'm gonna say www.evi.ai.com. Okay, so now what I'm gonna do is I am going to go back to sending these messages to people. So let's see, what was the last message I sent? Did I send it to Joe? I sent it to Josh. Let's see. No, I did not send a message to Josh. Let's see who I sent a message to. Bryce. Was Bryce the last person I messaged? Let me see. Bryce. Yeah, Bryce was the last person I messaged. I'm gonna copy this. I wanna send it to a couple more people. So I'm going to send it to Josh, to Joe, to Peter, to Bernard. And if LinkedIn was just a little bit faster, this would go a lot faster. So Josh, Joe, and again, I'm only limited by the speed of LinkedIn. And the speed of LinkedIn is also limited by the speed of my internet and the speed of my computer and the speed of my LinkedIn account. Now, some LinkedIn accounts, you're able to go faster. Because you're doing less activity, so they give you more bandwidth. I feel like my account is just a little bit slower because I do so much activity on my account, so they kind of limit the bandwidth on my account on how much energy they give my account. And I'll show you how I do this on somebody else's account now. We're going to do the same thing on Tammy's account just to kind of show you how this works in another account. So you could have multiple people promoting the same same LinkedIn Live. So I'll show you how that works. I'm just going to get to the top till Nicole, and then we'll move on. But this is— oh, it looks like I already did Bernard. We're going to do Eric real quick, and then we'll get to Nicole, and then we'll be done. I already did Eric. We're going to go to Chris. But as you can see, I have 152 people I can send messages to, and I'm not going to choose— I choose not to message every single person. I'm only going to message the people that I'm messaging and that's it. I'm not going to message everyone. But as you can see, LinkedIn is adding the person's name there and everything, so I don't have to do it myself. And this makes my life so much easier. It looks like Murray is online right now. Murray's one of our clients, very active on LinkedIn. I'm going to send him this message over here and then we're going to do Nicole and then we're going to move on to Tammy's account real quick. But I do want to see what Erica said in the— in the DM. Guys, leave a comment. Let me know where in the world you're dialing in from. I don't know if you know this, but LinkedIn has, uh, people in, uh, 200 countries around the world. So I'm gonna close all these things over here. Um, I'm gonna go back to my messages and see Erica messaged me. She said, got it. Thank you. No problem. Would love for you to use evviai.com. Here is the demo. Okay, so I just pulled the template from Evy AI and I sent her the template just like that. Okay. All right, let's just see what else we have going on over here. Okay, somebody said, Joe, can you show me how you post on LinkedIn? So it's very simple. You go to Evy AI, you click on Post Writer, and then you pick a topic for the post. So what would the topic be? In this case, I'm just going to go into LinkedIn and I'm going to take a recent video. I'm going to post a video actually about how to remove a connection, audio event, how to train AI to comment, ways to train AI. Okay, so I'm going to hit next and then I'm going to go into Evie AI. I'm going to say there are many ways to train AI on how to Comment on posts. The key is to learn the different training methods. Are you a CEO? What is your role? Or are you a company page? You want to create separate training for each one. I'm going to turn this into a post. I'm gonna change the persona from Adam Weiss to Joe Applebaum. I'm gonna hit generate. It's gonna generate a personal story that's metaphorical with the Joe Applebaum persona that has a hook, main points, call to action, and hashtags. This is how you generate a post on LinkedIn. Ever felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content on LinkedIn? You're not alone. In a world where every scroll brings a flood of opinions, insights, and connections, how do we stand out? We ensure that da da da. Let's take it back to a pivotal moment in my journey. Years ago, I watched my mother struggle in her business in Lower East Side. She poured her heart into it. They had no clear strategy. Ultimately, she had to close. or doors. That's it. Fast forward today, I'm on a mission to help others do the same. As CEO of Eviaxine and founder of Evergreen, I dedicated my life to— one of the most powerful tools I developed is Eviai. It's an assistant. But here's the catch. It's not about the technology. It's about the mindset. It's embracing the curiosity. I challenge you. Are you willing to— unique voice. I found a— let's keep the conversation going. I'm going to hit copy. I'm going to hit paste. This is a perfect, perfect example of a personal story that I created for LinkedIn together with a video. And I'm going to hit post and I just posted on LinkedIn. My goal is to post on LinkedIn at least once a day. That's my goal. And my recommendation is posting at least once a day. If you can post at least once a day on LinkedIn, it would really change the game for you. So I'm going to go ahead, also leave comments. My goal is to leave at least 20 to 50 comments a day, depending on how much time I have. But there's a minimum of 20 comments that I'm going to leave every single day on LinkedIn. Ideally, I'd love to leave 50, and I can see how many comments I leave on LinkedIn. by going to my homepage over here, and you can see, um, how many comments I left on the 8th over here. So if I click on see all, you're gonna see, um, I left 1, 2, 3, 4 comments today. I have 47 more comments to leave on LinkedIn. So how am I gonna leave comments on LinkedIn? Really, really simple. Um, I'm going to go to Evvy AI, the little Chrome extension, and then I'm gonna click on see all saved profiles. And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna find people who are actually active on LinkedIn. I'm going to go here. I'm going to click on EANYC Active. These are all the EANYC members that are actually active on LinkedIn. I'm going to hit see recent activity for him, and it's going to load up his recent posts. Now, if he did post on LinkedIn, I'm going to get a notification that he posted right over here. And then I'm going to go ahead and leave a comment. And what I also like doing is going to the people that are engaged on LinkedIn. Like for example, if I see somebody that liked a post, I'm going to click on their profile. So for example, there are 2 people in particular that I noticed, Andrew Hazen and John Malizia, that I want to be top of mind with. So I'm going to go ahead and just check their profiles just to see what's going on over here. And I'm going to click on his profile over here and I'm going to say, What did I— okay, 2021. Long time no speak. Would you want to catch up? Okay, so just very simple. Long time no speak. Would you want to catch up? Because I actually have a relationship with him. I'm going to hit save profile. He's a bagel boss, domainer, serial entrepreneur, and publisher. I'm going to save him into Evy AI. I'm going to put him under networking because He's a great networking contact and he has over 10,000 connections. He's paying for LinkedIn. He's a former, um, former owner of a marketing agency. Um, and he really needs to know about Evvii AI. So I'm going to go ahead and find posts that he's posted and I'm going to leave comments on his posts. So I see he posted about his holiday gift baskets. I'm going to go ahead and drop a comment here to show him my support for his business. It's a fantastic reminder, Andrew. Holiday gift baskets are such a thoughtful way to spread the cheer. Okay, excited to see how your business succeeds. Okay, so now John Malizia also is a great contact. I'm actually in touch with him about doing stuff for YPO, so I'm going to search YPO. I don't have a YPO list. I'm going to need to add a YPO list. Let's see if he posted recently. It looks like he posted 3 days ago. Um, I am going to go ahead and comment on this post where he posted 3 days ago. I'm gonna hit like, I'm gonna hit generate, and I'm going to leave a thoughtful comment supporting those restaurants. Fantastic initiatives, John. Supporting breast cancer research is such— so important. This is very, very— so what I'm doing here is very, very strategic. I encourage everyone to participate on October 24th. If you can't make it, consider sending a donation. Every bit helps. Okay. I just went ahead and left a thoughtful comment, and John's going to see that because I tagged him in the comment. Now, as you can see, I posted this video here. This video already got a like in it. I'm going to go ahead and give it a light bulb, and then I'm going to change to Evie AI, and then I'm going to go ahead and give it a heart from a round of applause from Evie AI. So now we have 3 little dots here. I'm also going to say, Next demo. I'm also going to go ahead and leave a demonstration video of Evy AI as a comment in case people want to check it out. And I'm also going to leave another comment, but the other comment is going to be from a different company page. In this case, I'm going to leave a comment from the Evergreen Networking page, and I'm going to say check out our courses at www.evyrgreen.com. And I'm going to hit train. So now I'm promoting different things in the comments without being annoying. You see that? And I'm liking it from different company pages. So you could, if you're a manager of multiple company pages, and how do you add yourself as a manager to multiple company pages? Let's pull up Tammy's account real quick. I'm going to go ahead, click on Tammy, Tammy's LinkedIn account. So this is Tammy's LinkedIn account right here. I'm going to go ahead and click on Home just to kind of load. It'll show me all the company pages that she's managing. I see I have the Ajax Union company page over here. What I can do is on the bottom left, I can click on Settings, and then under Settings, I can click on Manage Admins. I'm not going to show you all the admins that are on the Ajax Union company page, but that's how you go ahead and do that. And I'm going to go ahead and add myself as an admin. So I'm going to add Joe Apfelbaum. As an admin. As you can see, I just added myself as a super admin, um, and now I'm added as a super admin under the Ajax Union company page under Tammy's account. I'm gonna go back to the homepage of Tammy. Um, and now I can go ahead and like and comment. I can use Evie AI to do this as well. Um, but what I want to do is I want to use the same Chrome extension to identify which one of Tammy's accounts are are currently active on LinkedIn. So the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to go to Tammy's profile. I'm going to see what activity is going on here. I see there's nice activity here. I see people are messaging. There's a lot of stuff going on. I'm checking the notifications to see who's live. I see who's live over here. How do you overcome writer's block? Tom said, bravo. I'm going to see if there's anything related to Joe Apfelbaum here. I see that somebody commented on Tammy's comment related to Joe Apfelbaum. I'm going to click on Joe Apfelbaum's post over here. And then I'm going to teach you how to repost from another account. So Tammy does have lots of followers, but you can see this account right over here has 17 comments and 2 reposts. I'm going to click on it right now. I'm going to pause the video. I'm going to scroll down. You see all these comments over here? That's awesome. You see on the left it says repost. Go ahead and try to repost it. Now you have 2 different options. You could repost with your words, or you can just hit repost without your words. The way that you repost without your words which I like to do repost without words, is instead of going to the actual post and hitting repost here, you click on Joe Apfelbaum's profile. Then under Evvy AI, you click on see all recent activity. This is cool actually. A lot of people don't know you can do this. And now you can see all the recent activity. So for example, I'm gonna go here, I'm gonna say, bravo, this is, this is awesome. Is a great way to train AI. Check out our community at school, www.school.com/eviai. Okay, so now I'm promoting the school community. You see that I have different people, company pages, different human beings. Now if I want to repost this, check this out. I'm going to give this a round of applause, of course. And then over here, I'm going to click the repost button and it's going to give me 2 options. It's going to give me repost with thoughts, or it's going to give me just repost alone. So I'm just going to click on repost alone. And now it's reposted without thoughts on Tammy's profile. I think that that is just unbelievable that you can do that. Now over here, I'm going to go boom. Um, I love what you are teaching @Joe. Okay. So I just tagged Joe and I said, I love what you're teaching as Tammy. You see that? Now I scroll down just to kind of see what other comments are here. Joe, you're deep diving into LinkedIn. What's your biggest struggle? I was going to say getting more people to join when we don't plan out the live. Okay, so if you don't plan out the live, how do I increase engagement? The best way to increase engagement is to find people who are online and ready to engage and to invite them to engage and to invite them to engage. That's it. That's how you do it. All right. Now, Evie AI is going to be adding a new feature, and the new feature is going to be the ability to have a little microphone where you can talk. So the microphone is going to look something like this and you're gonna say, hello, thank you so much for checking out my post. I really appreciate you so much. And then you'll be able to regenerate with AI. So, um, if you want it to make more sense, um, you can kind of modify it with artificial intelligence. You're gonna have a little microphone on LinkedIn. I think that's gonna be a really fantastic tool. Do you guys want to see the microphone on LinkedIn so that you can talk? Um, leveraging LinkedIn? Yes. Leveraging LinkedIn is very powerful. If people knew how to do this, they would never be left without revenue. Um, could you imagine you had a little feature like that where you can just click a little button and boom, there you go? That would be really awesome. So let's go back to my network over here. I'm going to show you again how this is done. Um, I'm going to click on my network under Tammy's profile. I'm going to click on connections. She has 6,189 connections. Now you can see some of them have a green dot here. I'm going to scroll down to the bottom just like I did before with Joe Apfelbaum's profile. I'm going to click on show more results. I'm going to keep going down just like that. And then I'm going to pull all the people that are actually active right now. So as you can see, it's just loading. Again, it's not taking up profile views on LinkedIn. So this is extremely powerful to know that, hey, this is not taking up profiles on LinkedIn. Somebody wants me to moderate something 2:00 to 2:30 PM. Is it this Thursday? I believe I have a networking event. Let's just see what I have going on this Thursday. Someone just invited me to— let's see. Thursday at 2:00 PM. What is this? Acupuncture appointment. I have an acupuncture appointment. I'll have to cancel my acupuncture appointment to do that. Yeah, I think I should move my acupuncture appointment. All right, let's— moving on. Can you— Can you ask Ben if I can move? Okay. Okay, so I'm gonna go ahead and pull up a bunch more, just like that. You can see I'm multitasking. Okay, so this is all from the past year. You see, this is all from the past year, a year ago. I'm going to click on the little Chrome extension. I'm going to hit check connections. So we pulled 1,000 people, 79 are online right now. You see that? So I'm going to do show only online, and then I'm going to start messaging. Check connections, show only online. I'm going to start messaging all the people that are online. So this guy's online right here. Hey, Renato. I'm going to literally pull the same message that Joe Applebaum was using. So I'm going to go back to my messages. And congrats on your work anniversary. I will check out your video. So I'm going to send him the video. So Jeff said that. Amy said, thank you. Oh, that's cool. Let's see. Happy birthday messages are being sent out. Congrats on your work anniversary are being sent out right now. Nicole, I'm actually on LinkedIn Live right now. Okay, so that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna just modify this a little bit. I actually am. Okay, I'm gonna go back over here and I'm going to say my partner. Joe is actually on LinkedIn Live right now. If you want to watch him, please join him at this link. I think you might enjoy the live. Okay, so now I'm going to copy this and I'm going to press Ctrl+Enter. And so now I'm going to have Tammy start promoting this live to all these people that are currently using LinkedIn. I mean, they're currently on LinkedIn. That's what LinkedIn's telling me. LinkedIn's saying, hey, these people are on LinkedIn right now. So what I'm doing is I'm actually sending them each a message through the direct messaging system of LinkedIn. Let's see. And I haven't messaged— Tammy has not messaged these people in say a year or so. And so these are people that are live on LinkedIn right now. So the likelihood, and I have 79 of them that I can message right now. So the likelihood of these people getting the message, noticing it, and possibly joining the live with us here today is very, very high. And I'm curious if you guys got a message about live. Now, could you imagine if you had, let's say, 10 or 15 people doing this while a live is happening? I think that would be, or if there's an event that you want people to come to, you find all the people that are currently on LinkedIn, and then you basically just send them this message. I think personally, I think this is a powerful way to get people to join something, and also just an excuse to promote something to somebody, like to send them a message saying, hey, you know, I noticed you're online right now. You could even go ahead and say something related to like, LinkedIn notified me that you're currently online. There's a little green dot. I'm gonna say, I will move my acupuncture appointment to make this happen. Okay, Jenny. Let's see, Tom Capone, Adam Howes. So now I'm not sending the same messages to the same people. So that's— you have to be careful that you don't send the same messages to the same people. So you can cross-reference, but these are all people that are active on LinkedIn. So if you, if you want to prioritize your DM campaigns or even just monitoring people's posts, I would focus on these folks over just focusing on any folks because these are the people that are actually on LinkedIn right now. And this is the only way that I know how I can actually load 1,000 people onto one page at one time. So there's no other LinkedIn Page that allows you to load 1,000, 2,000. The most I ever loaded was 6,000 people. I loaded all of Tammy's connections at one time, and I did this while I'm on LinkedIn Live, so you guys can see that I'm not— this hack is a real— this shortcut on LinkedIn, this tool on LinkedIn is a real powerful tool that could be a real game changer for those of you that really wanna make an impact and really connect with people in a meaningful way. So you see all these dots. Before, most of these people were not, you know, like if you had to filter this manually, I'm gonna do check connections. You know, there's 1,000 people, 824 of them are offline. You see that? It says it right here. So sifting through and finding the 75 that are online, the gold, that's gonna be key. And that's, and I built this with artificial intelligence, so. AI helped me build it. Um, yeah, really powerful. At the moment, but looking forward to following along and learning from you. Okay, I already sent it to her, Francine. All right, let's just see what's cooking over here. Let's see if anybody responded to any of these messages. But look how many messages I was able to send in just a minute or 2 to all these people that are actually online right now. Again, according to LinkedIn, they're online. I don't know if it's actually active. I don't know if it actually is, um, the real deal. If there are these people actually online, are they actually not online? I don't know. I'm not 100% sure, but if LinkedIn says they're online, it's likely that they're online. I'm gonna be testing this out more. Um, let's see what he said over here. Downloaded the connections and say to send data to webhook. Very cool. I'll make you the dashboard. Really, since it doesn't require a lot of lift from the user, how hard is it to build? 3,000 hours of development. Uh, is it possible to integrate EvAI with LinkedIn mobile? Yes, you can integrate EvAI with LinkedIn mobile, but not for commenting and messaging, just for posting and post ideas and save profiles and things like that, because Chrome extensions don't work on mobile. So, um, you can use the tool. You can use the tool on mobile. How do I increase engagement? I mentioned that. Sounds like you're driving deep into LinkedIn strategies. Yes, I am. But that's, that's what I got for you guys. Yeah, I appreciate you guys very, very much. Thank you for being in my life. And hopefully you guys learned something today. I know I learned something. Let me leave a couple more comments on LinkedIn. Evan Messman, for example, I'm going to drop a couple comments now. Now there are specific people that I want to be commenting on their profiles, and I save those people into Evy AI. So for example, Evan Messman is saved into Evy AI. So if I want to see all the people that I want to comment on, I literally just save them into Evy AI. I don't have to go into the feed and wait for them to show up. I can strategically comment on specific people's and go down the rabbit hole. In that way. Um, I'll show you how that works. You go into Evie AI, you click on save profiles, and then you click on a particular list. So I'm going to look up Boris. I've already looked up Don. I'm going to look up Derek and Alexis. Again, I don't want to open up too many at one time, but as you can see, Boris commented over here. A month ago, he posted something. I'm gonna hit generate a comment, and I'm having a conversation with Boris, I think either later today or tomorrow. So that'll be an interesting conversation, but at least, you know, he'll see me in his comments. Alexis, I already commented. Derek, I already commented. I'm gonna look up John Rafferty, see if he posted anything. I'm gonna look up Matt Schwartzberg, see if he posted anything. I'm gonna look up George Jensen, see if he posted anything. I'm gonna go to the next page, look up Cass Kadler and Tina Larson. Those are the people that I identified that are the most engaged on LinkedIn, and those are the people that I'm going to be focusing on leaving a comment on their posts. See that? Tina, this post beautifully Captures the essence of meaningful networking. Okay, so I just left a comment just like that. I'm going to check out the rest of them. I'm going to close this out. Cass Kadler, 5 days ago. Very nice. Okay, George Jensen. I'm going to drop a comment. The more you prepare for the next presentation, the less you'll panic, he writes. So I'm going to leave him a whimsical response. Participation is truly the key. Okay, and then I'm going to check out Matt. Matt already left a comment on him. John Rafferty, I already left a comment. Vincent, I left a comment already. So as you can see, this is what I'm doing. Now you can see how many comments you leave each week on LinkedIn. All you got to do is go to your profile. I'm going to show you how to access the LinkedIn dashboard. You can also do this from Evvy AI. But if you click on Show Analytics inside LinkedIn right here, you'll be able to see something interesting. There's something called the Weekly Sharing Tracker. You could see how many posts, how many comments, and how many contributions. So my goal is to leave 250 comments today. Um, I have to get to 100 in order for me to get to 250 by the end of the week. So I left 86. I'm going to leave another 4, will bring me to 90. Another 10, another 6, 14 will get me to 100. So that's my goal, leave 14 more comments. And I'm going to do it strategically. I'm going to leave 14 strategic comments on specific people's posts. So for example, if I go here, I'm going to select a list, for example, Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Active. I'm going to find the people that are active in Atlantic Tomorrow's Office, and I'm going to identify if they posted recently. By clicking on the link, and then I'm going to go ahead and support their post just like that. Again, she posted yesterday, a day ago, about when I was a kid, I faced challenges that were insurmountable. Your solutions are truly inspiring, Dana. I'm going to tag her. It's amazing how the experiences can blah blah blah. So as you can see, I just left a sweet comment for her. I'm going to check Mike Nelson. Um, let's see. See, Mike Nelson posted 25 minutes ago. I'm gonna go ahead and leave a comment, and my goal is to leave 14 more comments today. Okay. I'm going to leave a couple more. So if you want to be able to stay top of mind with your clients, with your prospects, with the people that are meaningful to you, then using tools like Evvy AI will help you be able to stay top of mind with those people. Sure, we can have artificial intelligence be able to do all this without your participation, but I like to be participating. I just want AI to be my ally. I want it to be my assistant. I don't want it to do it for me automatically because then how's it helping me be able to go in there and identify what these people are actually up to and have a meaningful conversation with them in person if I'm not the one that left them a comment? You know, I have to actually look and be and participate in the people's lives. I have to be authentic and actually network. It's not about just, you know, doing things without even thinking. It's about thinking and building and connecting and growing. Growing and doing things that are meaningful with your network, like actually engaging with your network, but having AI save you a ton of time as you're doing it. So you don't have to do all of the work yourself. You can literally go in there and support the people in your life that are actually doing things and then build a community around that. So for example, William said 97% of companies are blah blah blah. Say goodbye to the hassle of overage fees. Right? So William went ahead and commented there. I'm going to leave a comment on his posts, and I'm going to do this for each one of the members of Atlantic Tomorrow's office and any of my clients that sign up. I'm going to go ahead and support them with a comment on their posts. But the key is for you to get comments from. from the right people, from the right people in your network. So, your prospects, those are the people that you want comments from, from your colleagues at work that are also targeting similar prospects, from your clients to show your passion and show your connection. And you don't have to post every single day. You really don't. But if you post at least once a week, you know, the minimum is once a week, and then you promote that post properly, you're gonna get a lot more exposure. That's my goal. My goal is to help more people be able to post more regularly valuable information that adds value to their network. So he posted over here about some baseball fan or whatever. I'm gonna encourage these people by leaving comments on their posts and by supporting them. And the thrill of baseball truly captures the essence of resilience and teamwork. Alan, you— the icon moments of Gibson heroics truly resonate. This is a great comment. That's a great comment. And so, you know, most people are not doing this, and I want you to start doing this more often— being able to support your network, being able to support your clients, Every single comment that I leave on LinkedIn gets my profile exposure, which gets my business exposure. So if you're not leaving comments on LinkedIn on a regular basis, you're missing out on all that exposure. It doesn't take much time to be able to use technology to help you leave comments. So I do recommend that you take the time, get the right technology, train the AI to sound in a way that aligns with who you are and what you're doing. And then go ahead and support those people. Support the people that are actually in your life. Support those people. Make sure that you are there, that you're making a difference for them, that you're helping them out. And that'll really be a game changer for you. So if you haven't been doing this, highly recommend you go ahead and You know, Dan— Daniel posted just now, happy I won PC for Atlantic. Congrats, Daniel. Your hard work is truly paying off. My great Nicole Garcia. Also, big shout out to Adam Weiss. And I'm going to go in here. I'm going to copy this. I'm going to go in Atlantic. So And I'm going to find here, Atlantic Tomorrow's Office. Let's drop him a comment. See what I'm doing? I don't have to sit there and think about, oh, you know, what Does it work? Does it not work? No, it works. It works really, really well. Um, let's see who else we did. Alan, Sue, Karen, Carlos, Kaylin, Daniel. We're gonna do Doreen. We're gonna do Kevin, George, and Krista. And then we'll do Don Watson and Gary. All right, let's see. We have Doreen from a week ago. Hi. We're going to go ahead and leave a comment. And you don't have to comment on every single one of your connections every day. You don't have to do that. What you could do is identify your top 50 list for the week and then make sure that you're on top of those people or your top 10 list. You know, imagine you had 10 people that always commented on your posts and you always commented on their posts. How cool would that be if you did that? Even leaving a sentence, you don't have to go ahead and write the entire thing out. You can have Evvy AI help you write most of it, and then you can go ahead and edit it and make it better. That's the idea. The idea is having tool— using tools that will help you be able to be more effective. And if you can do this more consistently, leave more comments, connect with people more authentically, build those relationships, you're much more likely to be successful. Thank you very much for watching this. I really appreciate you, and I'm looking forward to seeing you on the next video.
