LinkedIn Live 199 - Sunday Funday with Joe Apfelbaum

3. We are live here on LinkedIn. My name is Joe Apfelbaum. I am the CEO of Evvy AI. If you are live with me, if you're watching this live right now, tell me that you're live with me. Tell me that you are in this world alive with me because yeah, this is, uh, one of the few posts this year, one of the few times this year that I actually planned this out. 24 hours in advance. I'm testing out different modalities and different ways of being able to leverage LinkedIn. And most people don't know this, but I've gone on LinkedIn Live impromptu many times this year. This is 199. This is the 199th time that I'm live. So if you're live with me, just say hello and let me know where in the world you're dialing in from. I wrote a post last night, actually this morning. I wrote a post 3 hours ago. And I said I'm about to hit 50,000 followers. As you can see, we're at 49,998 followers, and these are my followers. These are the people— most people can't see my followers, but I can see my followers, and I can see who they are right here. And if you scroll down, you could either use the auto-scroll technology or you just scroll down. You can actually see all of your followers, and there is technology that will help you download your followers. There's no real official way to download your followers, but there is technology that allows you to follow, to download your followers. And if you want to learn how to do that, definitely come to our January 8th session. I know Arlene's going to be there. And if you want to learn how to leverage LinkedIn, just write, I want to learn. This is Sunday Funday. Um, I had a conversation with someone at 10:00 AM this morning, and it's a continuation of the conversation I had with him on LinkedIn at 10:00 PM Eastern last night. So somebody connected with me on LinkedIn last night at around 9:30 PM while I was on LinkedIn Live. I accepted the connection request and I sent him one of my templates. Now in Evy AI, we have templates. If you go to log into Evy AI on the left side, you're gonna see templates. And I sent him one of these templates saying, thank you so much for connecting with me. Uh, looking forward to getting to know you. And he replied, and then we kind of had a little bit of a back and forth. And then I asked him if he wants to get on the phone. I asked him why did he decide to connect with me and Um, he said, yeah, he'd be happy to get on the phone with me on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM. And I said yes. And we got on the phone today and it turns out he is a prospect. He's a potential client. And I added him to my CRM. If you don't use a CRM, say I need a CRM in the chat. If you do use a CRM, say I use a CRM. I'm curious to know if you need one or you use one because we are giving away access for 1 year to this year, to this CRM right here. Um, and, um, and yeah, so I, I put 'em in a pipeline. We have the ability for you to manage contacts and opportunities under pipelines. So you're able to do that really, really quick. Um, and you'll be able to start getting results by following up with people in a meaningful way. So the second you connect with someone on LinkedIn, they automatically start following you, which is, which is an interesting concept. By the way, can you guys hear me loud and clear? Just say loud and clear in the chat if you can hear me loud and clear, cuz sometimes I can't hear myself on LinkedIn Live. Um, I can't, I can't, uh, hear myself. So I'm just curious to know, and I know it's delayed. So in the chat, I'm, it's going to take me a moment to kind of see, um, who's, who's there and who's not there. But if you need a CRM, just write, I need a CRM. Um, but you know, having a CRM specifically for your LinkedIn connections and then managing the relationships of your LinkedIn connections is really, really powerful. I have something called a LinkedIn dashboard. Uh, LinkedIn Connections dashboard. Um, and with a LinkedIn Connections dashboard, you're able to kind of see all your connections at one time. Like if you're trying to look through your connections, this is a, a simple way to search. And by the way, in our school community, so if you log into EvAI on the left side, thank you for letting me know it loud and clear. Howard, Arlene, Michael, Craig, Tom Wells, good to see you here. Um, on the left side, when you click on Learning Hub and you click on Quick Links here, you're gonna see we have quite a bit of, of quick links, but we also have a community. And in our community, I actually put trainings in our community all the time. So if you click on community and you scroll down, you're going to see lots of different trainings that I put up over here. So I put up a training about what to do if you get restricted on LinkedIn. I put up a training about LinkedIn search, how to use LinkedIn search to get clients. So definitely like this post when you get to it and watch this 20-minute video. And I'm going to be doing a 1-hour presentation on how to use LinkedIn search. But one of the things that I teach in that video, and by the way, I'll put a link to that video in the comments of this post so you guys can see it. I'm gonna go to the comments of this post. The way that you can see all my LinkedIn Lives, if you click on the more button, when you see all my activity and you click on events, you'll be able to see all my LinkedIn Lives. The thing is, I can't comment on my own LinkedIn Live right now, uh, while I'm on LinkedIn Live. So I need to use someone else's account to comment. So I'm gonna— or there is a way to do it. If you wanna see the hack, say, show me the hack. If you're on LinkedIn Live and you wanna see how to comment on your own LinkedIn Live while you're on LinkedIn Live, In this case, I'm just going to use Tammy's account to comment on my LinkedIn Live because I have access to other people's accounts. So I'm going to go into this LinkedIn Live right over here, and then what I'm going to do is on the right side here, I'm just going to drop this as a comment so you can actually see Tammy's comment. Tammy just commented with a link. Learn Search. Okay, all right, so I just put the link over there so you can kind of grab it there. Um, but these are all the comments that are happening right now in real time from people. By the way, guys, hit that light bulb button. Make it like snappy up. Let's see if it works for you. Hit that light bulb button or hit the heart. Or if you're feeling like celebrating, hit the celebrate button like that. Just click on it a few times and watch the— watch the, uh, them fly. Try that out. I think it's— I think it's really cool when you hit them a bunch of times. You see them flying? Curious enough, we could all make them fly together. That would be a fun activity to do. Oh, look at that. It looks like things are flying now. That's cool. It's cool that we are doing this together here today on LinkedIn. I'm so excited. Um, so let me just quickly show you how you can see all of your first-degree connections. There are quite a few ways to do this. I'm going to move LinkedIn, uh, Tammy's, uh, LinkedIn to the left side over here just to kind of get it out of the way. Um, and I'll bring it back soon. But if you go in here and you go to linkedin.com/search, check this out, /search/results/all. It's a little bit long. There's no official shortcut to this on LinkedIn. So there's no other way to get here. And then you click on People. And then once you do that, you click on First Degree. Okay? So that's what you do. You go to People and then you go to First Degree. And that's powerful. You can see all your connections, but— I have 30,000 connections and I can only see 10 at a time. What if I want all these connections on a spreadsheet? What if I want to be able to filter and sort by the date that I connected to those connections? Think about that. If I want to see all the people that I connected with, say this year in 2025 or 2024 or 2023 last year, what would I do? So I have something called a connections dashboard.

Connections dashboards.

I have a 2024 connections dashboard. And if I wanna be able to see this, I have everything in a spreadsheet. So if you want this dashboard, say I want the dashboard, and I'll tell you how you can get a dashboard like this done for you. You don't have to actually do this dashboard yourself. Otherwise, copying and pasting each person will take you literally forever. I'm gonna filter out, so Excel with Google Sheets, you can use filters. You can also do this inside the CRM that I give you guys access to, um, with Heavy AI Pro. So you'll be able to do this and, and use all the, all the different filters that we have right over here. We have all these different filters. So you can filter this out as well inside the CRM, but I'm gonna show you how to filter it in a spreadsheet because it's, it's really easy to use. So I'm gonna click on Connected On. I'm gonna click on the filter button on top, and then I'm gonna click the little dropdown, and then I'm gonna do clear. And then I'm just going to say 2024, and I'm gonna hit select all, and it's gonna pull all the people that I connected with in 2024. So now I can go through the people. I can do January 2024 if I want. Um, and, um, and now I can see all the people that I connected with last January or, or December of 2023, you know, December 2023. So let's, let's do that. Let's, let's do select all. Um, and let's go down to December of 2023. So we're gonna do clear and we're gonna do December 2023. So it's only gonna show me all the Decembers of 2023 as I press okay. Now these are the people. Let me see how many I have here.

Mm-hmm.

I'm going to click on LinkedIn here. I have 215 people that I connected with last December, and I can go through this and I can message all these people one at a time or all of them at once, depending on the strategy that I take. If I want to message these people quickly, you can actually send hundreds of messages to people using a variety of technologies. So this guy over here from RevGenius, Maz S., he's a B2B marketer. We've been connected for a year now. I'm going to hit Oh, it looks like we are already disconnected. That's fine. Moving on. That's okay, 'cause he doesn't even have a last name on LinkedIn. He doesn't have things. So Remy B, we are not connected anymore, it looks like. Okay, that's great. I'm gonna go to the next one here. So I could see those 2 people disconnected from me. There was no way that you would ever have that history to see the people that disconnected from you or that I disconnected from them. If I didn't, uh, if I didn't have this technology here. Otherwise you would just lose those connections and you wouldn't be able to see anything. But this guy over here, John Breuter, he, he's a LinkedIn, uh, professional over here. He's an account executive for this company. And I'm gonna send him a message with, um, I'm gonna send him a holiday greeting and I'm gonna use Evvy AI's microphone here to kind of talk to him. I'm gonna say the following. I'm gonna say, John, it's a pleasure being connected to you. I just realized that we connected about a year ago. And I just want to say that I appreciate the fact that we're connected here on LinkedIn. Happy holidays. Okay. So now I'm going to press insert and I'm going to press send. So I just sent him this message. Now, if I want to send this message to all the people on the list, there are really 2 ways to do this. And on January 8th, I'm going to teach a hack where you're not going to get busted from LinkedIn. You got to make sure that you don't get busted from LinkedIn for sending out too many messages. Ooh, let's see what Joel Eisenberg did. By the way, LinkedIn is so ADD friendly. Like you can totally go ADD here. And look at this message. Hi Joe, hope you're doing well. I wrote my first children's book. I'm gonna say here, wow, congratulations on writing your first children's book. That is super impressive. What made you decide to write the book? Okay, I'm gonna press insert question mark and I'm gonna press enter. Do you see the way that I used artificial intelligence technologies to help me be able to do that? And, and he's, he's, he's live right now on LinkedIn. I'm having a real conversation with a real human being. On LinkedIn. Now I'm going to go to his profile. I see we haven't talked in several years. I'm going to go to his profile and you can see he's in New York. He's a CEO. I'm going to pull him up. I have him in both my connections dashboard and my CRM for LinkedIn. I'm going to pull him up. I can see he's right here in my CRM. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to capture his contact information right here, his email address, and I'm going to put his email address into the CRM right there.

Okay.

And now I'm gonna continue the conversation and I'm gonna get his cell phone number now and ask him if we can speak. So let's see if, if he would gimme his cell phone number. Um, I'm gonna say very impressive. Okay. And I'm gonna purposely leave this misspell of ver— T. You see it says ver T impressive. I did that typo by mistake, but I purposely left it in there so he knows it's not artificial intelligence because an AI would not do that unless you instruct The AI. I wrote about 25 years ago for my family. I thought I could market the use better. I'm gonna say, what is your sell? I have some ideas for you. Okay, so now I'm specifically asking him for his cell phone number so that I get his cell phone number and I can call him. And the way that I'm gonna call him is I'm going to pick up the phone, like back in the olden days, pick up the phone. I'm gonna show you how to get on a phone conversation with Somebody. So, uh, he went ahead and he posted this and he included a link, which is a no-no. So I wanna, I wanna call him right now real quick and see if he gives me his cell phone number. I'm gonna put on my headset and you guys could listen into the conversation. So if you wanna listen and say, I wanna listen in, if you don't wanna listen in, I could block out what he says. Let me know in the chat what you guys think.

All right.

Craig wants to listen in. I just need you to make a small change on your post in order for the post to actually get seen on LinkedIn because you're doing one of the cardinal sins of LinkedIn. But I feel like me telling it to you over the phone will be a little less judgy. I also have another idea for you. If you're open to a 2-minute conversation, I'm happy to call you now. Okay, you see that? All right, he might not want to talk now. He might be like in the middle of something with his family, with his kids. He might be in bed, he might be in the shower, he might be in the bath. Let's see what he says. Okay, Dimitri says, "I appreciate the holiday wishes." Thank you, Dimitri. Darren said, "All is well." Darren said, "All is well." This is why LinkedIn class never got traction. A cardinal sin I committed, Michael said. Let's see what he says. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Give me your cell phone number. What's he doing? How? What is he typing up? He's typing up a magilla. What is these three dots over here flying? Can't call today, I'm with family still celebrating Hanukkah. Tomorrow at 10 works. Okay, join the posting party tomorrow at www.highenergyzoom.com at 10 AM. You can promote your book there, by the way. Okay, uh, what's the cardinal sin Howard said? It's very simple. If you go to his profile The cardinal sin is. Can you guys tell? Can you guys tell what he did wrong over here? Who wants to guess? What did he do wrong here? I'm gonna go ahead and leave a comment here. Can you guys guess what he did wrong? What a lovely way to connect generations. Storytelling is amazing. Okay, so I'm gonna go ahead and leave a comment. Let's see what he writes. Thanks, you then. I'm looking forward to it. Okay, so he's coming to the posting party. At least I got another member to come to the posting party. Um, so yeah, that's, that's— can you guys tell what the cardinal sin is that he did? I'm curious to know. I, I wanna give it to you, but I want this to be a learning moment for you guys. Okay, I'll, I'll show you something else. Um, if I go back into Evvy AI and I click on the Learning Hub and I click on Quick Links, I'm gonna show you more people that are doing this cardinal sin. If I click on LinkedIn post without comments—

Correct.

Michael, Michael Copeland got it. All these posts over here, they all have links in them. So these are the posts that my connections posted. This one was posted 16 minutes ago, and these are all committing a cardinal sin, every one of these people. So I'm going to modify this comment just a little bit. Now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to try and call all these people that are committing this cardinal sin. To kind of see if there's an opportunity here. So this guy over here, Boise metropolitan area, he's helping recruiters build blah blah blah. I'm going to call his cell phone. Let's see, Donnie Gupton. So we're going to pull up Donnie's information from here. I'm going to search Donnie, see how many Donnies I'm connected to on LinkedIn. Uh, it's not loading for some reason. I'm going to click on Opportunities and back to Contacts. I'm gonna search it here. Donnie Gupton. Ooh, this must be a new connection. He's not even in my CRM as Donnie, unless I misspelled Donnie. Let's see where Donnie Gupton is. Okay, well, he's a first-degree connection and he's not in my CRM. That's because, I don't know why. G-U-P-T-O-N, let's search for that. G-U-P. Yeah, he's not even in here. All right, so let's add him. Donnie Gupton. Let's get his email address. His email address is right over here. donnie@donniegupton.com. And then his cell phone number. Let's grab his cell phone number from here as well. And let's give him a call right now because he just posted on LinkedIn. I left him a comment just now. So chances are he either scheduled it Or he's available. Now I know it's 11 AM on Sunday and it's a little weird to call somebody at 11 AM on Sunday. So let's, let's try. Let's see if this works. Can you guys hear it? Say I can hear it.

Your call has been forwarded to an automated—

Okay, it just went to voicemail. So what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna leave him a little— hey, okay, uh, I'm gonna send him a text message. I just left you a comment on one of your posts on LinkedIn and I noticed that you did something on the post that won't allow your post to get out there. If you're open to hearing more, give me a buzz. And I'm just gonna mention his first name. Donnie. Joe Apfelbaum. Okay, I'm gonna hit send, and now it's gonna send him a text message to his cell phone. Okay, he said he could hear it. Okay, let's go to the next person. Um, all right. I, I went to him. I left him a comment. The next person is Dr. Constance. Dr. Constance Craig Mason. Let's see this person here. I'm gonna click on contact info right over here. As you can see, his cell phone number is also right over here. I love this. Isn't this cool that you can just get everybody's cell phone? Write cool in the chat if you think this is just amazing. All right, I'm gonna grab this. I'm gonna type in Constance. Here, see if Dr. Constance is there. Hey, look at that. Dr. Constance is actually here. Um, let's also grab Dr. Constance's email address since it's already here. I might as well add it. And we're adding a feature to Evy AI that will allow you to automatically just inject this information into your CRM and call them directly from LinkedIn. How cool would that be if we did that? Oh my God, I just thought of an idea. Create a Chrome extension for the CRM. Oh my, my mind just blew. My mind just blew. Hang on a second, guys. I gotta stop for a second. Chrome Store. Let's go to the Chrome Store and I'm gonna search reset Chrome extension. Customizer Connect facilitates connections, introductions, conversation between entrepreneurs. Oh, interesting. CRM Alert Pro. Let's see what this is. 31 users in LinkedIn that are on GoHighLevel CRM connections, introductions, and conversations. Oh, this is a good idea if this actually works. Oh my God, this is such a good idea. Such a good idea. Do you have a date for the autograb feature? Well, we already have the autograb feature technically, Michael. Um, we already have an autograb feature. You just— it's manual right now. So if you want it, I can give you access to it. Um, I can teach you how to do it. It's not rocket science. So for our pro users, for Evie AI Pro, I'm giving— I'm teaching them how to do this. And I'll show you how it works with one click, basically with 2 clicks. Let me just look you up real quick. Michael Copeland, Michael Copeland. Let's look you up. Uh, let me go in here. What is going on here? All right, here we go. Sign in. It wants me to sign in. Um, okay, let's see what else is going on here in the comments. What were we doing? Oh, I was showing you my dashboard. We were going through this. Okay, so there's a couple of different ways to be able to message people on LinkedIn. You can message them directly on their profile. So for example, Marjorie Pratt. I'm gonna click on this. I click on this and it loads. You guys, you guys have seen that, right? You guys have seen the way that you could just load it, click on message, and then you can see if the person's even there or if they're not there. Um, but if you're, if you're an Evy AI Pro user, I can show you exactly how to be able to pull anyone's information from LinkedIn. So Michael, Michael Copeland, let me see if. Let me see if I could find you on here. Oh, look at that. Michael's right here. This is Michael Copeland, um, Ascent Strategy. So I'm gonna— what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna save his profile into Evie AI. I wanna show you something cool. Then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna use my tool to click summarize. Actually, I'm gonna click on save profile. So I don't see I have your contact information here available in your about section here. So I'm gonna I'm going to press edit and I'm actually going to grab your contact information from another database and I'll just drag it. I'll just, whatever, I'll drop it in here just like that. And then I'm going to press save, save. And then what I'm going to do now is I'm going to press send to CRM. And what this is going to do is it'll just send it to the CRM. So I'll show you where in the CRM it is. Saved profiles. I'll go down to the bottom over here. Meet Michael Copeland. You see that? And I'm gonna put this, I'm gonna send this to you, Michael, as a, um, as a message.

Oop.

I'm gonna send it to you as a message here. I don't think we're even connected on LinkedIn, are we? No, we're second degree. Okay. So I just sent this to you. Um, it has your email address, it has all your information right over here. So if you want, if you want access to this, this is part of Evvy AI Pro. We're giving all Pro users access to this. So if you're interested in joining Pro, just say I want Pro and I'll, I'll tell you guys how to get into Avi.ai Pro. If you have Pro, just say I have Pro. Um, and again, the reason we're not integrating it yet, because we're in contact with LinkedIn, uh, right now. Um, and they don't want us to do things like that publicly. They're basically saying, don't do this. Don't show the world this stuff because they don't want people to kind of take information from LinkedIn. That's, that's something that they don't want. So. I'm gonna talk about it much, but that's the idea. Hush-hush. Write hush-hush in the chat if you know what I'm talking about. You gotta— certain things you gotta hush-hush about, you know what I mean? You can't just share everything. I wanna share everything with you guys and I'll tell you everything behind the scenes, but I'm on LinkedIn Live right now. You know what I mean? I'm on YouTube. Like, I don't, I don't, I don't wanna get in trouble. So, um, yeah, that's the idea. So, okay. So this guy just said, I just wanna send you a quick invite so I can go ahead and accept it. I'm gonna go ahead and accept it. Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna click on Jeremy's profile right here. I'm gonna click on contact info. And as you can see, I have his email address right over here. If I want his cell phone number, um, you could easily get somebody's cell— there's many different ways to get cell phone numbers. This guy was born the same date as my sister. That is pretty trippy. When somebody's born the same date as your sister, that's trippy. Let me see if I can pull his cell phone number here. Access email. I already have his email. It's the same email on his profile. Okay, great. I got his cell phone number right over here. I'm gonna hit copy. We're gonna go into the CRM real quick and just add this guy. Actually, we're gonna add him with the system to make it just easier. So we're gonna use the same system that I just used, which is not the presence checker. I have so many, I have so many systems here. I'm gonna hit Save Profile. I'm gonna go in here and I have his email on the way bottom here, you see, look. His email's on the bottom, but his cell phone's not, but I got his cell phone from another system. So I'm gonna close out that system and I'm gonna go in here and I'm gonna put his cell here. And then I'm gonna hit Save and then I'm gonna hit Send to CRM. And it's gonna send it to the spreadsheet. Now I could easily send it instead of to the spreadsheet, send it to like the other CRM, and I do send it to the other CRM, but I kinda happens like as a placeholder, um, in case it doesn't go through to the CRM, it's guaranteed to go into the spreadsheet. So, um, all this information's going into ChatGPT, getting organized right now in the way that I want it. Um, and then it's gonna just be listed here on row 180 in just a few seconds. Um, if all goes well.

Okay.

Meet Jeremy. Okay. So now what I'm gonna do is I have all this information right over here, right? So I take this information. I can, I can do it with a click of a button, but I'll show you how I do it manually for those that want to know. I click the plus button. I put in his information here. Then I grab his cell, drop it in the cell phone bucket. Um, I grab his, um, his email address, drop that in the email bucket, grab his last name, drop it in the last name bucket, grab his LinkedIn URL, and I'll show you where that goes. Um, press save. And then once his thing is loaded, his LinkedIn URL goes right in here. I press save, and now I can give him a call. And let's just see if he picks up. I'm gonna press me. It might just go straight to voicemail. So, oh, it looks like it's ringing. Let's just see what happens. Michael said I want pro. If you guys want pro, say I want pro. If you have pro, say I have. Hey Jeremy. Nope, he did not pick up. I have Pro. Glad to have Pro.

Your call has been forwarded to voicemail. The person you're trying to reach is not available. At the tone, please record.

Okay, so I did not get through to him, so I'm just gonna say, Jeremy, glad we are connected now on LinkedIn. Dash Joe Apfelbaum. Let me know if you want to chat. Okay, I'm gonna hit send. I just sent him a text message, um, a nice little text message through the CRM. So if he gets that, he gets that. I rang a few times, so he'll see that I called, and it's very possible that he'll call me back. So I'm looking at my cell because the CRM gets forwarded to my cell. If somebody does call, it lights up on my cell. And there you go. There you have it.

Okay.

So yeah, so going through this, when somebody connects with you on LinkedIn, there are certain actions that you need to be taking on LinkedIn in order for you to be successful. If you want to be successful on LinkedIn, there are certain actions that you need to take as soon as somebody hits that connect button for you. It's usually pretty hot. So I'm going to click on show all invitations. Now, if you want to see all the people that are waiting to connect with you, you may not be able to see it from here. So what I do is I go into the backend of Evvii AI and I go here where it says recent connections, recent followers. You see pending sent, pending incoming. So if I click on pending incoming, that'll take me to my invitation manager. And you can see I have over 1,000 people waiting to connect with me right over here. So I, this special page has a little blue message button on it. Do you see that? There's no other place to be able to message somebody. So this little hack is interesting. These are one of the 52 hacks that we teach in our accelerator program. But if you go through this, you'll see every single one of these 1,000 people have a message button. Now, if I go to this person, this person's a co-founder. If I go to this co-founder's profile over here, I can't message this person directly because we're second-degree connections. And I can do it through Sales Navigator. I can click on more. I can click on view in Sales Navigator, and then I can message this person over here. You see that? And she has an open profile, so it's free to message, but that's— I'm still limited by 800 messages that I could send. If somebody didn't have an open profile with Sales Navigator, I'll give you another example of another person. Let me check out Tracy, Tristan, Tuffin. Let me just look at their profiles. Okay, so she probably doesn't have it. I click on More, Message. It takes me to Sales Navigator. Now it says I used up all my InMail credits. because I already sent up all my credits for the month. And I, so I can't send her any more messages. So how do you message Tracy? Here's the hack. You guys ready for the hack? Say, I want to see the hack in the chat. I want to see, I want to see at least 5 people say, I want to see the hack before I show you this little hack. These are the one of 52 hacks that we teach in our LinkedIn Accelerator training, which by the way, we're giving out with Evvii AI Pro, the annual plan. So how do you sign up to Evvii AI Pro? I'll show you how to do it. You go to evvii.com. You click on Get Started, and then you go to the subscription page, and then you select this plan right here, the $82 plan. Um, and you pay for the year. It's $984 for the year. And then you get access to all this stuff, all the, the Accelerator training program, the LinkedIn Navigator Bootcamp, our monthly training, January 9th, January 8th at 10:00 AM. We're gonna be doing that event. Um, so if you already have Pro, let 1 or 2 friends know that you have Pro and send them your affiliate link. We have an affiliate program right over here. Register for the affiliate program, get your affiliate link, save your affiliate link as a template. You see, look, I'm gonna, I'll show you my templates. I have templates. For example, I'm part of the JV Directory and I have this template for the JV Directory. So if somebody wants 90 days of free trial of the JV Directory and then you pay $1,000 to sign up to it later, I get a commission for that. So I save the templates for the affiliate programs that I'm part of inside Evie AI. So this way I can invite people. So if you want to see the hack of how I can message Tracy without accepting the connection request, say I want to see the hack and I'll show it to you. I'm going to go into me. I'm going to go to posts and activity right over here. And by the way, I've been messing with LinkedIn for many, many, many years, many years. And I've come up with so many amazing little hacks and little nooks and crannies. Okay. Hack, hack, hack. We got 2 people said they want to see the hack. So we have to wait for 3 more people to comment. In order for me to see the hack. And the reason I want more people to comment is because I want to try to get up to at least 199 comments today. So I'm not going to leave this LinkedIn Live until we get to 199 comments. I created a little custom extension that allows me to quickly leave comments. So if I want to leave comments on a post and get to 199, what I can do is I can use EvvAI templates very, very quickly by just clicking on the template, getting my promotional templates and dropping them in the chat over here. And you might see them or not see them, um, based on what you're doing, but check out all these promotional templates that I use that I saved for myself that make it really easy for me to promote different things. Like for example, I want to promote my book and I want all of you to have promotional templates that you have ready to go. So if you want to be able to just fill up yourself with with comments and have lots of comments on any of your events or whatever it is, then you're able to quickly do that. So I just went from 45 to 55 comments and they're all unique comments. Now we also have different types of comments that I share that are like interesting comments, like that have a staircase format. You see that staircase 1, staircase 2, staircase 3. You see that these are all predefined comments. That I like to leave on posts when I don't wanna be using artificial intelligence and I wanted to have a certain staircase format. I could have the, I could train the AI on how to be able to create these, um, with a persona, but I just wanted you to know about this and how it works. Now I have particular links like posting party links, posting party thanks. I have, um, I have an Evie AI demo link. I have a happy birthday. I have lots of different templates that I have stored. But I just wanted to quickly show you how to do that. But I want at least 3 more people to say the word hack, or I want to see the hack like Arlene. Let me go to my most recent. I'm gonna hit the little dropdown here. Where's the little dropdown for the most recent? I'm gonna hit refresh over here because I don't know what's going on. It's missing that little recent dropdown. There you go. I'm gonna click on comment, and then I'm gonna click on, instead of relevant, most recent. It didn't change yet. It's still on relevant, this LinkedIn thing. I mean, I don't, I'm not like worried about this, but like LinkedIn is so slow sometimes. It's just ridiculous. Is it slow sometimes for you? Write slow sometimes in the chat. Okay. Mike Larkin said hack. So I want the hack. So we see we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Okay. So we have, oh, what did Tom said? Tom said, thanks, Joe. Have a good Sunday.

You're welcome.

Uh, Tom, I appreciate you. Um, okay, so let's go back and show you the hack. Um, so I'm gonna go over here. Uh, I showed you this. Let me go back over here to Evie AI. I'm gonna hit login. I'll show you it step by step. So you go to Evie AI, you click on, uh, Learning Hub, then you click on Quick Links. Okay, so this is the place where it has all the cool links. When you click on Quick Links, you scroll down slowly. You see, scroll down slowly and you'll notice certain things. If you, if you look, if you read each thing that's here, LinkedIn feed, LinkedIn help, LinkedIn learning, LinkedIn notifications, you're going to see it says pending incoming connections. This is a very important link over here. When you click on pending incoming connections, you see that I clicked on it. It's going to load all your incoming connections, filter it just for people on the top. And then if you scroll down to Tracy, we're going to go down to Tracy right now. I'm going to scroll down and find Tracy here. Okay. I'm gonna scroll down to Tracy. Let's see if Tracy's still here. She should still be here. I think I've, I think she's here somewhere. Here's, here's Tracy. Now I have, I can reply to her right over here clicking on the reply button. But even if she didn't send me a message, I can easily click on the message button here. This is the only place and it'll pop up. You see, even though it said I have no credits, now it pops up. Now, one of the thing, one of the templates that I like using is what made you decide to send me a connection request? Tristan, I want to make sure you are a real person who is engaged on LinkedIn. I noticed you sent me a connection request. Okay, so I'm going to start saying, I noticed you sent me a connection request. Here. I want to make sure you're a real person who's engaged on LinkedIn before I can remove someone from my connections to add you to my connections. Are you real? Do you typically leave comments on posts?

Okay.

Look at this. I'm gonna share this little template with you guys. And this is a little bit of an aggressive message to send somebody, but because I have 1,000 people that are waiting to connect with me, you see that I have 1,000 people waiting to connect with me, I could be a little aggressive with the message. There's other things that you can send, other ideas, and we can go to Claude to brainstorm right now. I have 1,000 people waiting to connect with me on LinkedIn. Let's see. I don't know why Claude's not typing what I say. It's so weird that Claude doesn't do it, but Evie AI does do it. So let's use Evie AI right over here. Actually, why did— oh, that sent me to LinkedIn. Let's use the Evie AI sidebar. And by the way, this is a new sidebar we're gonna be adding to Evie AI. Um, And is there no microphone on the sidebar? I need to tell my team to add a mic. Oh, there it is. Uh, when it gets too small, the mic disappears. Let me see. Oh, right there. That's the amount that Michael— that allows a mic.

Okay.

I want— okay, let's click on it.

I will.

What's going on here? Oh, it's not letting me. It's not letting me. All right. I'll talk to the team about that. Let me see if the mic works up over here. I want to— oh wow, none of it's working. Testing, testing, 1, 2. Oh, allow. Testing, testing, 1, 2. Testing, testing, testing, testing, 1, 2. No, it's not working. All right, I'm having a microphone issue right now. Okay, so it's not— has— this has nothing to do with Claude. It has more to do with I'm going to refresh this. Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3. Yeah, no, it has nothing to do with Claude. That's to do with my computer. All right. I want to create 10 options for sending a message to people who sent me a connection request on LinkedIn. But I have not accepted yet. I have 30K connections and I am almost at my limit. Help me go from being straightforward to being kind to being creative with my message. Here is one example. Give me 10 more. Okay, let's just see what it gives me. Ooh, I'd appreciate your interest in connecting. I built a vibrant network of 30,000 people and maintain quality. What sparked interest in my profile? I'd love to hear their journey. Hi there, I'm honored to be your connection request. I'm at LinkedIn's limit. Before I make space in my network, I'd love to know what kind of content resonates with you and if you typically interact with your connections. Thank you for thinking of connecting. I believe in meaningful networking. Would you share what caught your eye and how you envisioned us potentially collaborating and learning with each other? Imagine LinkedIn as a bustling coffee shop. I have a full house full of 30,000 patrons. Before I can offer you a seat, I'd love to hear what's your favorite conversation starter? Ooh, that's cute. Connection request received. Currently playing LinkedIn Tetris with 30,000 pieces. Before I make perfect space for you, what unique shape do you bring to the puzzle? Ah, look at that. Oh my God. That's so cute. Isn't that a cute one? Write cute in the chat if you think that's cute. All right, let's make, let's, let's craft the perfect LinkedIn post. Um, I'm gonna, I'm gonna first take a screenshot of my connections, of the people waiting to connect with me. I'm gonna go here. Take a screenshot just like that. And what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to blur. I'm going to click on more and I'm going to click blur just to kind of blur people's faces and names just like that. Actually, I want to make it like that. Uh, I'm just going to blur because LinkedIn has made me problems with sharing people's personal information like that. So I'm just going to kind of like blur just like that. Um, and then I'm gonna put an arrow to that and an arrow to that and an arrow to that. Okay. So I'm gonna hit File, Save As. By the way, if you're loving this, right, I'm loving this. And I'm gonna call this Connection Limit. Okay. I'm, I'm saving it under Pictures. Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go to LinkedIn and I'm gonna create a new post right now. I'm gonna go to Home. I'm going to click on Media and I'm going to go to Pictures and I'm going to type in connection, connection limit, connection limit. Okay, I'm going to press on Next. And now what I'm going to do is I'm going to use Evi AI in here. I'm going to click on the Evi AI logo here, and now I'm going to click on the mic. I met my connection limit right now and I want to accept people's connection requests, but Unlimited to who I can accept. Let me ask you a question. Do you ever send people messages before you accept connection requests or you just accept people's connection requests? Here are a few templates that I use when I want to send people a message before accepting their connection request to see if they're really an engaged LinkedIn user. By the way, do you guys see how much easier it is for me to say what I wanna say, oh my God, than it is for me to type things up. I really dislike typing. Do you like typing or do you like talking? Let me know in the chat. I'm gonna press insert. Are you selective with who you connect with on LinkedIn or do you access every single request here as well? I'm gonna just say over here. I'm gonna say hot templates on this post. In a world where connections can lead to opportunities, it's essential to ensure the network is not large but also engaged. I often find myself at my connection limit of 30K connections, which makes me think twice before I hit the accept button. To gauge interested in blah blah blah, I started sending out quick messages before I accepted requests. I'm going to say, by the way, I have 1,000 people. Plus waiting to connect with me. Here are a few templates to use. Thanks for connecting. And what prompted you to reach out? That's a good one. Hi, I see we share some common interests. What are your favorite? Uh, I'm not going to do that one. I'm going to go here to this connection limit. Connection received. Thanks for your request. I'm curious what projects you care about most. Let's go back and pull another one from here. Greetings. I curate my LinkedIn network carefully crafted playlists, each connection adding to the unique rhythm. What's your professional beat? How do you harmonize with your network through engagement interaction? Oh my god! That's such a cute one. That's such a cute one. Greetings. I curate my network. Thanks for connecting with me. Me on LinkedIn. I'd love to know what prompted you to reach out. Do you actually— are you engaged? Are you a bot? Okay, I like that one better. Okay, here are simple— these simple methods not only help me understand the person better but also set the tone for a more engaged relationship. Let me check the comments. To see a bunch, a number of creative options as templates. And comment on the ones you love and the ones you hate. So how do you approach connection requests? Do you first send a message? I'd love to learn. Um, by the way, watch the live in my comment— in my profile, 199, where I show you how to message connections without being connected to them. Um, With a free account. Okay, if you found this message, da da da da da. Okay, here we go. I'm gonna hit post. Guys, should I post this? Write post in the chat. Write post it if you want me to post this. Okay, I'm gonna hit post. Thank you for writing post it in the chat. Okay, now I'm gonna click on the three dots over here. I'm gonna click on copy link to this post. Then I'm gonna go to LinkedIn. And I'm going to go to the Engage.Leader community. I'm going to be like, template alert, please comment on this post. Okay, and then I'm going to click on Social Post Booster. I'm going to press on post, and then for those of you that are Pro, you'll get access to the Engaged Thought Leader Community, um, so that you can see this link here. Um, and you could engage and you could also post your, your stuff in here and engage with people here. Okay. I'd love for you guys to get more engaged. We're going to really ramp this up in 2025. I'm excited about the Engaged Thought Leaders Community. Um, I launched it last January or last May or something, and we were pretty successful. But I realized that the people that were there weren't necessarily the most ideal people that were so committed to it. And so we were having some issues, but now we're revamping it and relaunching it as a benefit, um, to Evie AI Pro users. The price for joining this right now is at $1,000 a month, but everyone that joins Evie AI Pro, which is $984 a year, gets also access to this community here. So if you want access, just write and say, I want access. You should already have access if you're a pro. That's a community that I wanna make super vibrant, but also super unique for pro members. Okay, let's just see what else we have going on over here. Was that helpful? Oh, by the way, I'm gonna go back to the post and I'm gonna leave comments on my own post. So how do I leave comments on my own post? First of all, I'm gonna leave a comment from Santa Claus. So I'm going to click on LinkedIn Santa, and then I'm going to select the LinkedIn Santa profile. I have one called LinkedIn Santa L right here, LinkedIn Santa. I'm going to change it, the tone to be empathetic and the goal to be provide value. I'm going to hit generate and Santa's going to read the post. Ho ho ho. I love your approach on 2 connections. Send a quick message is a wonderful way to fill your network.

Okay.

I'm going to press comment. And now Santa Claus just left a comment on my post. How cool is that? I'm going to hit like. I'm going to copy the URL.

Oop.

I'm going to copy this URL here as well. And then I'm going to comment on the live with this URL so you guys can go there and comment with what you think. And then I'm also going to add all the templates to the comments. So I'm going to go back to my posts and activity. So this is the only way you can really comment on your own post. If you want to comment on your own post, you see Santa just commented on my post. But if you want to comment on your own LinkedIn post, then while you're on LinkedIn Live, the only way to do this is to go to your activity, go down, and then click on the comment box here and then select most recent so you can see what people are sharing. So Howard said, post it. Michael said, post it. Arlene said, post it. Talking, great time saver. Loving this. Howard said, when people reach out to me to connect that are not ideal avatar for me, I respond with, thanks for reaching out. What is it about my profile that caused you to reach out? Ooh, I love that. That's great. What's a way to think of templates? Is there a way to think of templates? Do you have to respond for likes and then? I'm not sure what the question is, Michael. Is there a way to think of templates? Do you have a respond for likes then? Yeah, of course. I have a template for likes as well. I'll show you, I'll show you all my different templates in a second. Actually, I'll show you. Okay, I want to maintain focus here. I just wanted to share this with you guys so you guys can go and like and comment on this. But check this out. Check out these templates. I'm going to go here and type in templates, LinkedIn, Joe Apfelbaum. Okay, I'm just going to search that. So how to use templates on LinkedIn to generate leads in 2024. You see this? So I posted this in June of 2024 and I have comment templates, direct message templates, AI prompt templates, connection note templates, and snippets for posts. You see that? These are all different templates, and I'm gonna share this with you, Michael. I'm gonna go into my messages. Let's see if Michael's here. Here, here Michael is. Oh, you didn't accept my, my, my message that I sent you. I sent you a message here and you didn't accept it. So accept this message and then I'll send it to you.

Okay.

He said, looking forward to it. Michael, accept the message. Okay, you know what? I'll text it to you. I will text it to you from my CRM. Let's find Michael Copeland here. Is he here? Copeland. Did I misspell your last name? Are you not in my CRM? Oh, because we're not connected. Oh, I didn't add you to the CRM, did I? I added you to my saved. I didn't add you to the CRM yet. I added you to the spreadsheet. Look how many Michaels I'm connected to. It's ridiculous. All right, let's, let's get you from the saved spreadsheet and I'll text you, but let me just see if he, um, If he responded to me here. Oh, look at that.

All right.

Okay. So he accepted it. So I'll just send it to him here. Um, Michael, I'm gonna send you a connection request now. So the way I'm gonna send Michael a connection request, I'm gonna click on his name. I'm gonna click on the more button, and then I'm gonna hit invite to connect. And then I'm gonna use Evvy AI to craft the perfect note. Thank you so much for joining my LinkedIn Live. Looking forward to having you on board. As a pro user, I'm going to hit generate. Okay.

Okay.

I'm going to delete this whole. I hit F12 by accident. I'm going to delete this here. Michael, thank you for joining me on LinkedIn Live. I look forward to connect. We can support each other empowering professionals. Okay, um, support each other. I'm just gonna— how we can support each other. I'm gonna press Insert, I'm gonna press Send, and I just sent him a connection request. So now he has the option to accept my connection request if he wants. I'm going to click on the little dropdown here, and I'm going to click on See Recent Activities, and that's going to help me be able to see the recent activities here. I'm going to click on Like. I'm going to click on a friendly comment and I'm going to leave a friendly comment on his post from 4 days ago. I'm going to tag him so he gets the mention. I'm going to press comment. You see that? You see what I did there? Guys, can you give me a boom in the chat? I'm curious to know if anybody wants to give me a boom. I just got the link in my comment. Okay, cool. All right. Oh, look, Maria just commented. She said your approach to connection requests is refreshing and thoughtful. Thank you, Maria. I'm gonna say, do you see me on LinkedIn Live now? I'm gonna send her a message and say, do you see me? I'm actually on LinkedIn Live right now in case you don't know. Okay, I'm gonna press send and I'll recruit her to my LinkedIn Live. She's not in right now. Michael Copeland accepted my connection request. Look, I'm at 29,995 now. Okay, great. Let me just see how many followers I have in a second. But now that I'm connected to Michael Copeland, I'm gonna take the information right over here for Michael Copeland Jr. and add him to my CRM. I am going to go to right here. I'm gonna click the plus sign. I'm gonna add him right here, add his cell phone number like that, add his email address. Like that. And then grab his last name. Oh, actually his email address belongs in here. This belongs in here. I'm going to cut this out, delete the word junior, even though his last name has a JR in it. So we'll just leave a JR, hit save, add his LinkedIn URL here so that I have a record of it. And now I'm going to send him a message. I'm going to say, Thank you so much for connecting with me on LinkedIn. Looking forward to getting to know you. Okay. I'm going to press send. And I just sent him a little text message over there. Okay, great. Hopefully he'll get that and respond. All right, moving on. Let's just see what Maria said. I see she responded to me. She said running. I'm going to say, I just got back from a run. So that didn't work. Let me try here. I just got back from a run. It was refreshing. I'm gonna press insert. Okay, great. That worked. Every AI works better than Windows. Okay. So let's just, let's just take a look at this post right over here and grab some additional posts. I'm gonna say thank you. For the kind comment. Okay, so I'm going to reply to this. You have to make sure that you reply to all the, um, to all the comments you're getting from people. Now I want to show you something with Evie AI, but before I show you something with Evie AI, let me just grab all these, all these comments over here. I'm going to copy these. I'm going to close out Claude and I'll show you how I leave a lot of comments at one time. So this is what I do. Check this out. So if I want to leave, let's say 10 comments on a post, okay. I could leave them all at once or I could leave them one at a time. Let me close up a couple of these things here. I have so many things open at the same time. Okay. So this is it right here. So what I'll do is I'll, I'll paste everything in. I'll paste the whole thing in. This is too big, right? 1,000. It's not going to work. So what I do is I'll grab everything besides what I want to leave. You see this? And I'll cut this out, Ctrl+X, and that leaves me just with this template here. I'm going to say template 1 colon. You see that? Now I press comment. You see that? Now I can keep adding templates by just pasting in the next one. So I'm going to paste in the next one. I'm going to say template 2 colon warm and personal. I'm just going to copy this again. Um, template 2 warm and personal. I'm going to cut this out. Control C. And now what I could do is I could just delete everything after this. You see that? Paste. And then I can paste the whole thing again, change this to template 3, and then just delete the warm and personal thing here. Just like that. You see that? Template 3, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, and then delete this part here like this, and then hit comment. Now I paste, I change it to template 4, I delete this right over here, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, and then delete this right here at the bottom. And now I have template 4. Now I want template 5. I just change this to template 5, delete the first one, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, and then delete the second part like that. Now I have template 5 in there. If you're learning something new, say I'm learning something new, this is awesome. Template 6. I'm going to hit Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C. Delete the bottom. We're gonna do template 7. This is just my little workflow. Template 7. We're gonna delete this one here. And we're going to cut this out. We're gonna hit Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C. We're gonna cut this out. We're gonna change it now to template 8. And we're gonna cut this first part out. We're gonna do Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C. Now we're gonna delete the bottom, get rid of the little quote here, and then we're gonna paste it, change it to template 9. We're going to hit Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, delete the bottom. And then we're going to change this to template 10. Template 10. And then we're going to delete the first— we're going to hit Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, delete the top, delete the bottom. And now we're gonna go back to template 9 because I made a mistake. Template 9, we're gonna delete the first 2, I believe, and then Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, and delete the last one. And then we'll delete the other template 9. We'll delete this template 9 over here because I already did that one twice. And then template 10— on the template 8, I did it twice again and I don't need to copy it again. So template 8, and I'll delete the other template 8. Okay, there you go. So you guys just saw me leave 10 solid templates right over here. So now if I refresh this page Let's see, I have 12 comments, 7 likes on this page. Now I'm going to change to Evie AI, and I'm going to have Evie AI give me a round of applause. And I'm going to have it say, as Evie AI, because I can switch to the Evie AI company page. Let's find the Evie AI company page here. Here, Evie AI. And I'm gonna say educational. Wow, these are really great templates. Good job sharing them. I'm gonna hit generate.

Let's see. Joe Applebaum. No, it's— I'm not even there. Show all results. Yeah, I don't even show up in ZoomInfo at all. So weird. In Apollo I show up, but in ZoomInfo I don't. Maybe I asked them to remove me or something.

I don't know.

Interesting, right? All right, let's go back over here and see what people are saying. It pulls a corporate address, not the satellite address. Okay. Yeah. Interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting. Um, yeah, that's, that's really fantastic. Let me, uh, let me see if the, the phone number for Michael Copeland actually works. I want to show you guys how you can call somebody. I'll get him on the phone. Let me call him up right now, see if it works.

Hello?

It's ringing Michael's, um, Michael's phone number.

This call will be recorded for quality purposes.

How's it going? Do you want to tell everybody who your ideal client is? Can you hear me?

Hello? Yeah, I can. I hear you ringing on the—

On both?

I can hear you. Yeah, it's weird. I'm going to pause the LinkedIn session.

Yeah, pause the LinkedIn session so you can talk.

I can hear you now.

Okay, fantastic. Do you want to tell everybody who your ideal client is?

I work with 25 to 50-year-olds in IT, at least 3 years, to find their direction and guidance, i.e., what their path is going to be next.

Okay, so you work with IT. What is the title of the people in IT that you work with?

IT professionals, people who are looking for growth in their jobs.

But people don't write IT professional as their, as their, as their As their title on their profile, right?

Oh, right.

So what's the title that people typically use on their profile? I'm giving you a little coaching here.

I'll see technicians, analysts, um, and engineers. Those are the 3 titles. So it'll be like, I— it'll be IT or help desk, it'll be service analyst, it'll be software engineer. Those are the 3 main ones. At the level I'm looking for.

And how big are the companies that they work for?

They can be anywhere between 3,000 and up. Usually those roundabout numbers, they don't have enough growth opportunities.

So a software engineer working at a company, 5,000 to 10,000 employees, right?

Yep.

Oh, that's really cool. I'm excited because that's very specific. Do you see how the beginning you're like IT professionals and now you're like, you know, headcount? With a couple of questions that I was able to ask you in just a few seconds of coaching, you're able to articulate exactly who you're looking to meet. Because before I was like, oh, I know a guy who's unemployed that's a software engineer. You know?

Mm-hmm.

That's not helpful for you. You want someone that has a good job that's getting paid over 6 figures. For a company that's 5,000 to 10,000 employees, that's a software engineer. Is he at his job function for more than a certain amount of time?

3 to 5 years.

Yeah. Excellent. So current years, uh, years in current company, maybe 3 to 5 years, right? So he's, he's been at the company for, for 3 to 5 years. Just even just selecting that and knowing that is really, really powerful. And you break it down. Is there a particular location you want to focus on?

No, no.

So you don't mind people in Venezuela that have no money?

Well, see, that's a problem.

Yeah, I get that.

I was told by my mentor—

What'd he say?

That I need to go to— I was told by my mentor to go to like other countries than just the US because of the H-1B B's and visas and stuff. They may have money, but—

Nah, I would tell you to focus on the states for now, and specifically in the local area where you're physically at. Where are you located?

Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Okay, so Wisconsin. So we'll start with Milwaukee. We'll start with Wisconsin, just the whole state, and we'll see how many— there's 137 software engineers that are 3 to 5 years software engineer for companies over 5,000 employees. I would start with those 137 people. I would download that list and start going after those 137 people and build relationships with them, connect with them, get to know them. And then, and then make a list of all the other roles and build relationships with those people as well. And, you know, if you get 1,000 software engineers on your connections on LinkedIn and you start having conversations with, let's say, 20 a week, That's gonna change your business in 2025. Do you agree?

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly.

Yeah. And that's, that's a really powerful way for you to be able to do what you need to do. Um, so joining our session on January 8th, once you join EvAI Pro, you'll have access to that session. You're gonna be able to really benefit from, from learning the technologies that will enable you to do that.

Sure, I can see that.

So I'm excited that you're in for Pro.

I am in.

That's so exciting. Um, do you have access to your Evvy AI account? Do you want to try to sign up now?

I just signed up for the, the, uh, base account.

Okay.

I have not signed up for Pro.

Okay, so I'll guide you on how to do it just in case. I want to make sure that it works and that you get all the bonuses. Do you want to click on subscription once you're logged in on the top left? So you go to eviai.com and click on login.

Yep, I see subscription.

Click on subscription. And then you'll see, um, 3 options. The one all the way on the right, you see it says, uh, Evii AI Pro for the year? Annual?

Yeah.

So when you click on that, tell me what happens. Does it take you to Stripe?

It, it does. Yep.

Fantastic.

I'll have to get my information and put that in.

Great. So as soon as you put that in, as soon as you put in your information into the Stripe there and you hit submit, I'll see it on my end and then I'll let my team know to start giving you all the bonuses.

Sure. Unfortunately, that's not today. It's not going to happen.

No problem. Do it. Maybe do it tomorrow.

Yep. When I do it, I'll hit you up on LinkedIn. Okay.

I would love that. I would love for you to hit me up when you do it and, um, we'll make it happen together and we'll help you get to that goal. So would you say that your goal is to do, let's say, $100,000 in new business next year?

Yes. At the very least.

Very least. At the very least.

Yeah.

That's what, that's my goal is to help all the Heavy AI Pro users to generate at least $100,000 in profit. In the next year. Um, and the way that I'm gonna do that is by guiding you and holding your hand through the process, which will give you at least 100 times return on investment for what you've invested in Evie AI Pro.

Sure.

That's my thought process. Oh, look at that. I just hit 50,000 followers. Yay. Can you guys gimme a yay in the chat? Give me a yay in the chat. Oh my God, I hit 50,000 followers and this guy was my 50,000th follower. This guy from Rico. Oh my God. Let me click on contact info. Let's see if we can get his contact info and call him and congratulate him for being my, um, for being my 50,000th follower. Let's just see. Let's see if we can get his cell phone number here. Mobile number. Okay, should I give him a call?

Let's just see what happens. Let's see if he actually picks up. Here we go. It's ringing. Ring ring, ring ring. Let's just see what happens. His name is Christopher McDaniel. Christopher McDaniel. He's a growth advocate and strategic coach. Okay.

Thank you so much for being my latest follower. Thank you for hitting that follow button. Okay, so I just sent Christopher a message, and let's see if he replies to me. He'll be in good luck. It'll be good luck if he replies to me. It still says sending. I don't know why LinkedIn is being so. Oh, I have an issue with sending my email. Oy vey, oy vey. I'm gonna hit discard. Maybe I'll take him a. Maybe I'll send him a text message here. Let's save his profile to send him a text message. Save profile. Grab his contact info from. From here, copy his contact info, edit, and then his cell phone number, copy, and then hit save and then send to CRM. Okay, great. I just sent it all to the spreadsheet so that I have it over here and it'll show up right here, number 181, in a second. And I could just give him a call right from my cell. Okay, so I'm gonna copy his information like this. And I'm gonna give him a call right here from— this is a different phone number, so this phone number might be more accurate. I mean, this is a different phone number from my CRM, so let's just see if he actually picks up the phone. If I call him from the CRM, let me delete all the extra spaces here. Okay. Hit save, pop in his LinkedIn URL and hit save. And let's try to call him from here. So I called him from Apollo. He didn't pick up. I'm going to call him from my CRM. Let's see if he picks up. Let's see if he picks up. Ring ring. It is Sunday. People are sleeping.

Your call has been forwarded to voicemail. The person you're trying to reach.

Okay, so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to try to send him a message right here. Hey Christopher, I wanted to thank you for being my 50,000th connection on LinkedIn. I'm going to say follower instead of connection. 50,000th follower on LinkedIn. All right. I just sent him a text message telling him thank you for being my 50,000th follower on LinkedIn. Let's see what he does. He'll either reply or he won't reply. If he replies, I'll get a notifications. And if he doesn't reply, he doesn't reply. It just is what it is. All right, let's see what people are saying over here. Maria said congratulations. Michael says wow, LinkedIn is slow. Heard you on the phone and now you're here. Maria said yeah. Howard said yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, good. I want to get to at least 200 comments. Um, so I have a question for you guys. Can you describe in one sentence what you do for a living? Can you go ahead and describe in one sentence, what do you do for a living? Most people cannot describe that in one sentence, but I'm curious to know if you can describe that in one sentence. What do you do for a living? And the reason I want you to describe it in one sentence is because A, I wanna learn what you do for a living. That's number one. I want you to share with other people what you do for a living. But if you cannot describe what you do for a living, I highly recommend that you think about, um, being able to distill what you do for a living in one sentence. So let's have a conversation with ChatGPT about that right now. Let's pull up ChatGPT, put it in voice mode. I would like you to help me as a content coach, be able to assist people to share what they do for a living in one sentence. What are the things that they need to be thinking about when they're crafting that sentence?

Sure. When craft— sure. When crafting a one-sentence summary of what they do for a living, they should think about clarity. Be straightforward and avoid jargon. Audience focus. Mention who they help or serve. Value proposition. Highlight the key benefit or result they provide. Keep it brief and to the point. Would you like an example?

No.

What I want you to do is give me information that people can fill into a form. So first name, last name, company name. What are the things that they would fill into the form so that artificial intelligence will be able to create a one-liner for them that's maybe 20 words for what they do for a living in a sentence? What are the questions that you would ask someone? As a content expert.

Got it! Here are some questions to include in a form to help AI generate a concise one-liner: First name, last name, job title, company name, industry, key services or products, main audience or clients, primary benefit or value offered. These details will help in crafting a clear and impactful sentence.

Okay. Can you give me 10 questions that somebody should fill out in a questionnaire ordered by the most important first, in order for a person who is writing who I help and how I help them, or like a really good sentence, what are the top 10 questions that you need to be asking someone as a content strategist so that you can pull the best possible one-liner out of them? For making sure that, uh, that you prepare a good sentence for what they do for a living?

Absolutely. Here are the top 10 questions to include in a questionnaire to help craft a compelling one-liner. What is your job title? What is your company name? Who is your primary audience or client? What key problem do you solve for them? 5. What specific service or product do you offer? What is the main benefit or outcome you provide? What makes your approach unique or different? 8, what is the core value or mission of your work? 9, how would you describe your work in a few words? 10, what impact do you hope to make in your industry or community? These questions will help gather the essential information needed to create a strong, concise sentence.

Is there any other questions that you would ask? Let's say you were gonna ask 10 other questions that are kind of like optional. But are useful. What are, what are the, let's say you wanted to get a really advanced thing. What would you ask somebody? 10 additional questions.

For a more advanced and detailed one-liner, here are 10 additional optional questions. What inspired you to start in your field? What specific problems do you tackle? What are some common misconceptions about your work? What specific skills or expertise do you bring to your role? How do you measure success in your work? What trends or changes do you foresee in your industry? What do you enjoy most about your job? How do you typically engage with your clients or audience? What challenges have you overcome in your career? How would your clients or colleagues describe your impact? These additional questions can provide deeper insights and help refine the one-liner.

Okay, what about if I wanted to create a biography for someone? And I wanted to come up with like book ideas for them, and I wanted to come up with lead magnet ideas and other stuff. What are 10 additional questions that would go deep into figuring out who this person is that you would ask?

For creating a biography, book ideas, and lead magnets, here are 10 additional deep dive questions. What pivotal moments or experiences have shaped your career or life? What are your core values and how do they influence your work? Who are your role models or key influences? What challenges have you faced and how did you overcome them? What are your long-term goals or dreams? What advice would you give to someone starting in your field? What topics are you passionate about that you'd like to explore further? What impact do you hope to have on your audience or community? What unique perspectives or insights do you bring to your industry? 10, what personal or professional achievements are you most proud of? These questions can help uncover rich details to create compelling content.

Okay, great. Those are very helpful. Thank you very much. Have a good day. All right, as you can see, it broke down all these. You see that? Now I'm gonna take these, I'm gonna combine them with these. Okay, so, um, It gave me these. Now I'm going to say, include these questions somehow and tell me the most ideal 30 questions for people who need a bio, etc. Let's just see what happens.

What?

Claude cannot be a pro accurate real-time information on elections. What does this have to do with elections?

Okay.

The ultimate brand questionnaire, 30 essential questions. Ooh, this is good. These are good questions. Do you guys like these questions? Um, all right, so let me read them out over here. What is your current— and by the way, do you see the way that I used, um, AI to type up these things? I'm going to press stop the conversation over here, but I wanted to show you how you can get the whole conversation typed up with Otter while you're having conversations with ChatGPT, because it doesn't give you the whole conversation. You see, you can't go back and get the whole conversation. It kind of gives you it in this Format. It doesn't tell you everything that it said. It kind of summarizes it. But if you want the whole conversation, you got to order it. Okay, back to here. I like the way that it organizes it. How to use these questions, red flags to watch out for. I'm going to put this in our community so that you guys have access to it. If this is— if you think this is awesome, write this is awesome in the chat. School.com. I'm going to go into our community. I'm going to go here and paste it over here. I'm going to put it right— I'm going to cut this out, put this here, and I'm going to put this like this. I'm going to organize this like this. I'm going to organize this like this. How do you use these questions? Just to make it a little more readable. And then I'm gonna add a little image. I'm gonna press GIF, personal brand. Okay, I'm gonna do here, I'm just gonna do ideas. This is good. Is this something you're gonna go back to and try and answer? Let me know if you guys, is something that you're gonna try and answer. Ultimate brand questionnaire. What is your current profession and title and what do you do? What is the specific— so maybe let's spend some time answering these questions now. How would you answer them? Do you guys know how you would answer these? I'll ask them to you one at a time and then you guys could reply with your answer. So let's start one at a time. What is your current profession, professional title and role? So let's write that one down. What is your professional title and role? I'm gonna go in here and you guys could even reply to this comment. Oh, you can reply to all the comments. That would be fun if you guys reply to all the comments. I'm gonna go in here and click on most recent comments just to kind of see what you guys are commenting here. Mike Larkin says, here's our receipt from ChatGPT. Put me on LinkedIn. Uh, when I put me into LinkedIn profile, is it direct direct marketer, owner of Airstrike Marketing. Is that real? Are you really an owner of Airstrike Marketing? Leveraging his expertise in printing, marketing, blah, blah, blah. Okay. Maria says, I am a healthcare coach, podcast host, program facility— program facilitator, digital marketing expert who helps job seekers, newcomers, and professionals in Canada navigate their journey.

Okay.

I help people save money so they can live happily ever after. Okay, anybody else wanna share theirs? Oh, look, we got to 101 comments. What is your professional title and role? I'm gonna say, for me, it's gonna be CEO of Evvy AI and LinkedIn and AI trainer. LinkedIn, comma, AI trainer. Trainer. And then I'm going to do comma prompt engineer. Engineer. Okay, so that's my title. I'm curious to know what your professional title and role is. Let me know in the chat what your title, what your professional title and role is. Let's check for the second one. What specific problem do you solve for your clients? That's a good one. What specific problems do you solve for your clients? I'm going to put that one here and I'm going to reply to it. And I'm going to say, I help clients. I help engaged LinkedIn users get, make money, make more money. Money, generate sales, get more exposure, generate sales, and build their credibility on LinkedIn in just 15 minutes a day.

Okay.

I help engaged LinkedIn users get more exposure, generate sales, and build their credibility on LinkedIn in just 15 minutes a day. Okay, let me see what the next question is. The next question is, what is your unique approach and methodology? Ooh, that's a good question. I'm gonna press like that and then I'm gonna reply to it and I'm gonna say, I'm gonna have Evie AI help me do this one. My unique approach and methodology is that I take a strategic approach instead of going viral. I help people use their personal brand, their stories, and understand clearly who they are, who they help, how they help them to be able to succeed. And then using artificial intelligence together with time-tested and proven techniques that revolve around networking, prospecting, and the right mix of marketing. Ooh, that's a good one. That's a good unique approach and methodology. By the way, if you do this, if you answer these questions, you're going to have a killer questionnaire filled out about your own personal brand. Okay. Let's see what Maria said. Maria says, founder of Work-Life Compass podcast, career and personal brand coach, and employment services advisor. Love that. That's really good. Let's see, that was gonna take me here to the right. Let's see, look at that, shows me almost no comments over here. Wish I could stay longer. We'll watch the replay. Thanks for the insights, Howard said. Thank you. Thank you for staying as long as you stayed. It was just 90 minutes. You just stayed for 90 minutes. That's a long time. Um, Mike says, here's what I received from ChatGPT when I put it in my LinkedIn profile. Incredible. Um, look at this. I already have in the past 37 minutes— look at this post— for in the past 46 minutes, I should say. Look how popular this post already began. Let's see how many people are posting. Okay, look how popular this post already is getting out there. Um, and you can go through the people that actually like this post and start building relationships with them because they're, they're real people. These are just real, real, real human beings. So getting to know those real people, building relationships with them, getting to know them. Boom. Oh my God, he says boom. I say boom. I say boom all the time. I'm gonna go ahead and say boom.

Boom.

Back to him. Oh, look at this. Oh, he liked my post. Founder of Boom. Oh my God, the name of his company is called Boom? Let me send him a message. I'm gonna send a message to— oh, I used up all my credits so I can't send him a message. So I'm going to just email him. So once you finish all your messages and you can't message anybody anymore, grab their email. And if you can't find their email, go to their website, join Boom App. Oh man, let's see. Boom's mission. Meet Mia and Jacob, bright futures clouded by anxiety. As a psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with college students I've seen how mental health struggles can dim even the brightest minds.

It was clear a change was needed.

That's why we created Boom, the first AI-powered social mental health platform tailored specifically for Gen Z college students. Wow, that's cool. All right, so let me save his profile. Let me see if his email's over here somewhere, because Apollo's not picking it up. Let me go here, add to a list. I'm gonna put him as an influencer. And then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna click on search profile. I'm gonna search for him on Facebook, Instagram, Google, X, YouTube, and TikTok and see if I could find him everywhere. Matthew West. This is clearly not him. Okay, so I couldn't find him easily on TikTok. Let me see if I can find him here. I'm gonna say boom. Matthew West, boom. Oh my God, he's not even on any of these platforms. Let's find him on X. Boom. Uh, can't find him on X, so he's clearly not on X. Matthew West Boom App. Okay, I am Matthew West, co-founder of Boom. Let's see, and Facebook. All right, let's just see if we can find him here. Oh, so— oh wow, he's popular. He has 594,000 followers. Oh my God, no wonder why he's like hiding. Oh, look at that, I found his email address. hello@iammatthewwest.com. Oh my God, I found him. I found his email address. How cool is that? Let's go back to his profile. I am going to now email him. I'm going to save his email right over here. Let's see. No email. Edit. Save his email. All right, perfect. Now I saved his email. I'm gonna save him in my CRM as well. Matthew West. Okay, I am Matthew West, and I'm gonna pop his LinkedIn URL in there as well. Let me see if I could find it right here. Matthew West. And let's see if I could save it right here. Save. Now I'm gonna send him an email right from here. I'm just gonna click on subject line.

Boom.

I noticed that you liked my recent post. Okay, I'm gonna hit send. I just sent him a little message. Okay, so this is what I wrote. I noticed you liked my recent post on LinkedIn, Matthew. I wanted to say thank you. I will support your content with likes and comments. By the way, I love saying boom. I say it all the time. Happy holidays, Joe Applebaum. What do you think is gonna happen when he gets this email and he reads it and he's like, damn, son, Damn. He's gonna be like, this guy, I'm gonna look into him. And if he responds to this email, in his signature, he might have his cell phone number. And what's gonna end up happening is he might end up wanting to have a conversation with me and build a relationship. And he has almost 600,000 followers on Instagram. That is a massive opportunity for me. So I'm gonna keep looking into him and try to find him on another platform. So I could see he only has 1,000 mutual, 1,000 friends on LinkedIn. I could see who our mutual friend is over here, Tyler. Do you know Matthew West? I'm going to ask Tyler. Tyler, do you know Matthew West from Boom? I see he posted December 2nd, so he's actually active here. So I'm going to go ahead and be the only one to comment on his post. You may— men need to know it's okay. And now I'm going to use My autoresponder tool. By the way, we're gonna have this available for Evie AI Pro users too, soon, coming soon. I'm working on this. I'm asking my team to do this. I did this for myself. So this will automatically read his Facebook post and generate a solid reply on Facebook. Couldn't agree more. Let's keep the conversation going. Uh, couldn't agree more, Matthew. It's so important to support each other and break the stigma around men's mental health. Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to say, by the way, sent you an email. Okay. I just hit send message. I tagged him. So he's going to get a notification. It's going to pop up on his profile that I'm the only commenter, the only person that commented. And I was able to find him because Evie AI helped me find his profile. By doing all the right searches for me very quickly. That, my friends, is powerful. Oh, looks like Maria sent me a connection request on Facebook. Of course, I'm gonna accept that. Let's check out her profile. Ooh, look at Maria's profile. I'm gonna hit like. I'm gonna be like, hello. And yes, I'm gonna message her here. Thank you so much.

How'd that work?

Thanks for connecting. I just sent her a thanks for connecting message. Let's see what her story looks like. View story. That's her story. Free complimentary session. Okay, let's see what other people are sending me here. Okay, nobody else sent me anything. I'm going to close this out, close this out, close this out. Wow, look at this, look at this, look at the activity that's going on over here. Look how much activity I have going on here. Wow. There's a lot of stuff going on on Skool. Oh, 2 people pending membership. Okay, so let's check out this profile here. It looks like there's a picture of a hand. And let's look at this LinkedIn URL, see if it's a real person. Sidra, named Sidra. Let's check this out. Freelance, 1 follower from Pakistan. No, this is not a real person. I'm gonna hit decline. And let's see this one over here. I teach relationship-based selling. Let's see if Patrick is a real person. This guy's a real person. You see he's paying for LinkedIn, he's connected to Mike Larkin, and so on. So that's why I'm going to let him. Okay, so now if I go to members, I can see this new guy Patrick, and I can look at his profile and I see what he's part of. You see he's part of all these different groups over here, which I don't really love when someone's part of a million groups. But it looks like he has his own groups, so I'm going to send him a message. Thank you so much. Yeah, I just sent them a little message asking what made him decide to join. Um, all right, let's just see what's going on in my notifications today. Love today's live, we'll watch the rest later, gotta go. No problem, I'm glad that you came by and that you watched it. Let's check my YouTube channel, youtube.com/@JoeApfelbaum. I'm gonna click on videos, I'm gonna click on live and see if anybody checked out the live yet. Asking what made him decide to join. Oh, look at that. 2 people liked it. I wonder if you could see who liked this live. I don't know how to do that. And can anyone leave comments on the live chat? Oh, it says open up side panel. Oh, look at that. Eugenia said, show the trick. Eugene Zonda said, Sales Navigator is the worst. Using Mic already. Cute. So do you need paid ChatGPT account for Claude to work? No, you don't need Paid ChatGPT for Claude to work. Okay, I just replied to that. Let's just see what's going on. Future of Food says, we love you, Joe. You are the epitome of walking the walk and talking the talk. Oh, that's so sweet. Thank you. Saffron said, you're doing a fantastic job, Joe.

Oh, and recent news, Yahoo Finance is right here. Damn, son, we just did all that together. Oh, we just had this beautiful experience together. How cool is that? How cool is that? Let's see how many people— oh, look at that, we have 91 comments. I thought we had over 100 comments. What happened? What happened? Why does it say 91 comments? 116 comments. Okay, we gotta get to 200 comments. We gotta get to 200 comments. Um, could you let me know where in the world you're dialing in from right now? I'm dialing in from New Jersey. Okay, NJ. How do you avoid the cardinal sin of links on LinkedIn posts? Ooh, that's a good question. You just don't put links in the posts. Okay, so that answers that. Today's live went well. Maria says, gotta go. I appreciate you. I'm gonna press reply. I'm gonna press more. Michael says, your unique approach of self-discovery, skill alignment. My unique approach is skill alignment. I need to change it more, but it's as specific as you'd like to be. I coach IT professionals to break through stagnation. CEO and career development, professional title. Wish I could stay longer. Okay, cool. I'm gonna click on like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like. So how— what's the path of getting to 200 comments? What is the path? What would you guys suggest? Hmm? How do you get from 118 comments to 200 comments? I mean, I could leave the comments myself. We can have a chat in the comments. Like, for example, what's your favorite fruit? It's always been kiwi for me. I've always loved kiwi as my favorite fruit. What's your favorite fruit? My favorite fruit is kiwi. My favorite fruit is kiwi. Let me see if anybody else tell me their favorite fruit. Oh, Don Davis is in the chat. He has arrived. The man has arrived. Don, how long have you been here? How long have you been watching? Have you been watching for a while or did you just get here? Because we've been on LinkedIn Live for like 2 hours now. I don't want to hit the limit. I'm soon going to hit the limit. Do you guys know what the limit is for LinkedIn Live? Sandra Connor says, in celebration of your brilliance and willingness to share what you know. Yes, strategic stands out. Question, how do you avoid the cardinal sin? You know, my recommendation is when you're doing LinkedIn, do LinkedIn posts, do LinkedIn in the comments. Short answer: CEOs, business owners, executives. I niche down way down down. Okay, cool. We loved it. The weather in Vancouver is really nice. I might follow your example later. Okay, fantastic. All right, let's see what Gary Vaynerchuk has to say. Gary Vaynerchuk said 12 minutes ago he posted. He said the opportunity is outrageous. So many of you just sit in the sidelines. Okay, great. So I'm going to go here and I'm going to leave him a comment with a friendly comment. Insert, insert. Now, if you want to be able to leave a comment with an image, go ahead and put your logo. I want everyone to put their logo as a comment. Do you guys know how to add your logo as a comment? Now, by default, you can't do this on the right side over here. You're not gonna be able to put your logo as a comment here because you can't attach images here. But if you want to do that, you go to, you go to my profile, you click on my name, it takes you to my profile, right? When you go to my profile, then scroll down to where it says activity. Under activity, just click on show all posts. And then under the all posts, you click on the comment. And under that comment, you have the ability to add an image to that comment. So I'm going to go ahead and add the Evie AI logo. I'm going to say, here is the Evvy AI logo. I'm going to press comment. Now I want you guys to put your logo there if you have a logo. I'm going to go ahead and make a bigger version of the Evvy AI, um, a bigger version of Evvy AI. I'm going to call this Evvy AI logo. All right. I'm going to make a bigger version. Of this, I'm going to hit File, and then I'm going to create— I'm going to hit Re-editing, Resize. So I'm going to make this 1,000 by 1,000. I'll make it 1,024 by 1,024. 1,024 by 1,024. Copy and resize. I'm going to do resize this design. Resize this design. Okay, good. So now it's 1024 by 1024. Make a little more white space between it, just like that. Okay, perfect. And now what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on Save. I'm actually going to call it 1024 by 1024, and then I'm going to click Share. I'm going to click Download. Share, download. Okay, I just downloaded it. All right, so now I downloaded a 1024 by 1024. Let's see, because this looks a little crappy, I'm going to click here. I'm going to add the 1024 by 1024 version. I'm going to say 1024 by 1024 Evie AI logo. Okay, I'm going to hit insert, and look how much nicer this looks compared to this. Do you guys see the difference? In terms of like the clarity of this image versus the blurriness of this image. You see, this is 10 times more clear and it's all because I chose 1024 by 1024. So I'm going to go back into TechCrunch now. I'm going to click on the 3 dots here. I'm going to hit edit and then I'm going to edit this, select another photo, and then I'm going to hit save changes. And now it's a much sharper Evie AI Uh, logo. See that? Return to Evvy AI. And now I'm gonna write a tweet about this. I'm gonna go here. I'm gonna go to Twitter cuz I want Google to pick it up. And I'm gonna say the following. I just created a profile for Evvy AI on TechCrunch. Check it out here. I'm gonna hit post and boom, I just posted this link here. Now what's gonna end up happening is if you go to Google and you search Joe Apfelbaum, you're gonna see that this tweet— oh, it did not appear. Why did this not appear here? Oh, this tweet appears. It's gonna appear right here in about 1 second. Watch. Look at that. I just created a profile for Evie AI on TechCrunch. It just appeared. One, twenty seconds. In twenty seconds, I got on the first page of Google just like that. You see that? How awesome is that to get on the first page of Google in twenty seconds? Wow! And look how all my books are organized now there. I really like that. I really like how my personal brand looks. Very powerful, ladies and gentlemen. Very powerful. Okay, so we did that. We got the Crunchbase description out of the way. I can add more content to this, more information. I can add the YouTube, I can add all that stuff, but I'm not gonna add any more stuff to it. I'm just gonna leave it at that. Oh, Michael Copeland sent me a request on Facebook to connect. Thank you, Michael. And let's see, oop, she said, I just started this page trying to expand my network here too. You are a great example and motivator. Okay, I'm gonna give her a thumbs up for now. I'm gonna close this out. I'm gonna click on notifications and see where we're at. We're at 127 comments. Love the logo idea, 1024 is much better, Don said. Yeah, so guys, pop your logo in the comments. I wanna see your logo there. Let me go to here and click on view profile. Oh, look at that, I have 2 more followers now. I have 50,002 followers. Should we check who those followers are? Let's see who the followers are. Ooh, I just thought of an idea, ladies and gentlemen. Why don't I tag the followers in the post? So I'll take this right over here. I'll take this right over here, put this here just like this, you see? Go here into the comments and let's just see what this does. I'm gonna click on most recent. Okay, so is that the most recent one? Oh no, this is the most recent one. Click on comments, click on most recent. Perfect. Love the logo idea, 1024 is much better. We are on the same track. Tagging people in your posts can get people to see your posts.

Okay.

So let's tag a bunch of people in the post now. Let's find the people that are online right now and tag them all. So how do you find people that are just online right now? Well, first of all, somebody just followed me like this guy Habiba Habababab or Anil Diwana or Christopher McDonald. So I'm just going to copy this name and I'm going to say, thank you. What's up? What? AA batteries. AA batteries in that case over there. I'm going to say, Thanks for being my 50,000th follower. And then I press@ and then tag him like this. Um, oh my God, it's not picking up his name. Is that him? Let's see. Now he's wearing a red shirt. Let's see if we can find the guy with the red shirt. Ugh, I can't find him. Oh well. Let me see if we could find him by deleting. Sometimes if you delete like different parts of his name, other people show up here. No, it's not, it's not loading yet. Even though he's a follower of mine, I can't even tag him here. That's so annoying. McDaniel. It only shows me a bunch. Annoying, annoying, so annoying. Okay, well, I can't tag him. Is This is what happens. I thought I could just tag all the people, but I guess I can't tag them. All right, so this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to say, looking at your profile now, feel free to tag it and feel free to tune in. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to find all the people that are currently on LinkedIn. So how do you find all the people that are currently on LinkedIn? Check this out. I'm going to click on notifications. I'm going to click on connections, I mean. And now what I'm going to do is I'm going to scroll down over here just like this. See this? I'm going to scroll down and I'm going to just pull up all of my recent connections on LinkedIn. So this is just going to load all of my recent connections on LinkedIn. So what I'm using is I'm using auto-scroll technology to just keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. And then I'm going to look for all the people that have a green dot on their profile. Now, if you have a green dot on your name, what that tells me is, and these are the people in the past 60 days that connected with me on LinkedIn. If you have a green dot on your name, that means that your computer is, you're using LinkedIn from your computer and you're actively using it right now. So if you're actively using LinkedIn right now, there's a much higher chance that you're going to see a mention because, you know, you get the notification pop up and you're actually on LinkedIn. So we're gonna test this out just to kind of see if this works. If you wanna see the extension that I use, then say, I want to see the extension in the chat, and I'll be more than happy to kind of show you this extension that I'm using. So, so far I just pulled the past 6 months of people. I'm gonna try to get down to a year. And you can see it's still loading and loading and loading people. Looks like, boom, we're down to 6 months. Let's see how long it takes to load the full annual list of LinkedIn users that I connected with in the past year. We're up to 7 months. And I'm already at 30,000 connections. That means every one of these people that I added this year, I had to remove people in order to add these people. 'Cause these are all brand new connections. So I removed about 1,000 connections this year, and then I added about 1,000 people. And I'm gonna do the same thing next year. I'm gonna go through my connections and the ones that are like not engaged with me or they don't answer me, I'm just gonna remove them. And then I'm gonna make lists and I'm gonna make room for another 1,000 people that are actually engaged with me on LinkedIn. Because I don't wanna be connected to people that are just not replying to me or that are just not active or that are nasty. I just saw a guy that was nasty. I'm gonna remove him as a connection probably in 2025. I'm not gonna go to it now because I don't want to call anybody out for being nasty to me. But when someone's nasty, then they're just nasty. So they're rude, you know, like they're not bad people. They're just, you know, they, they say something or they do something that's just rude. And so I'll, I'll just disconnect from them and be like, just, I'm done. I'm not interested in being connected to somebody who's rude. Life is too short to be connected to rude people. I'm not— that's not something I'm interested in engaging with. I want good energy. I want positive energy. I want people that are with the program, that know what time it is. You know, like, I want good people. So people that are good for me, that share my values, and that are kind and loving. That's That's what I'm looking to connect with. So if you're kind and loving and you're watching this, say I'm kind and loving in the chat. So this is the past 9 months. Let's see if we can get to a year, see if it'll work, see if it'll actually load a year's worth of connections. As you can see, LinkedIn's already struggling to load more people, but I'm gonna get all these loaded right now. And It takes a couple minutes to load a year's worth of connections for me, 'cause I did connect with a lot of people. I don't even know exactly how many people I connected with this year, but I suspect it's over 1,000. We're in it for 10 months. It's interesting to see, 'cause this morning what I did was I went through my year of photos, of every photo I took this year, and I kinda scanned it one month at a time. So I did January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December. And in each month, I wrote down what trip I went to and who I met and where I spoke. And it was just an interesting experience for me to experience that, to go through the year, to go back in the year. Let's see, we got 10 months down. Let's see. Let's see if it'll stop going.

Okay.

It'll stop scrolling. Okay, it stopped scrolling now. All right, we'll do the past 10 months. I don't want it to have a heart attack on me here. It already loaded a lot. So let's just see how many I have here with the LinkedIn Presence Checker. I'm gonna hit check connections. So, so far I loaded 1,700 people. These are 1,700 people, 1,300 of them are offline and 64 of these 1,700 are currently on LinkedIn. You see that? It's telling me that number right over here. Um, I'm going to try to get to 2,000. Let's see if I could load another 200 more. I'm taking a chance that this thing might just break right now because I did, I have loaded 600 in the past at one time, but when I loaded 600 in the past at one time, I mean, 6,000 in the past at one time, it was on a different profile and I didn't have so many LinkedIn windows open at the same time. So I should really go back and close all those LinkedIn windows to be able to do what I need to do right now. So this is 11 months. Let's see if we can get all the way back to 12 months. Come on, show me 12 months. Who is yo papa? Okay, it looks like Danny Del Vecchio. Oh my God. And oh, you know what? I'm really curious to know If I can post the list of the people that I connected with in the past 12 months as a LinkedIn article, like, can a LinkedIn article technically handle the list of people? Like, can I— like, what's the max amount of people that I can add on a LinkedIn article saying, hey, these are the people that I connected with in the past year, tell me if you find yourself?

Okay.

I'm going to stop right here just for a second. I'm going to check it again just to see how many we have. Check connections. Let's see, we have 2,000. Okay, we hit 2,000. That's enough. We didn't get it to all 12 months, but we hit 2,000. Now I'm going to say export all, export all. So it just exported all. Now I'm going to say export only online ones, allow multiple. So it's going to export only online now.

Online only.

Okay, so let's just see the online ones. All right, so these are the people that are currently online, and this is their status, and this is their occupation. Okay, so if I want to be able to tag all these people, there's 75 people, I'm going to copy their names and Let's try this out. I'm gonna copy their names and I am going to go to my post right over here, and then I'm gonna paste their name right here. Okay, so Michael Copeland, obviously. Bruce Kane. Frank Vanderover. Oh, that's cool.

Steve Kirsch.

Zena Solomon. We're not going to do all these people. Let's just start with 10. These are the 10 most recent connections that I connected with. And then what we'll do is, um, We'll break it down one post at a time. We'll kind of review their profiles, and then we'll kind of just do 10 and see what happens with this. Okay, so we got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. We'll get a little more than 10, but let me just— I'm gonna cut these out.

Okay.

'Cause that's the maximum anyway. All right, so I tagged Michael. Michael, let me know if you got a notification that I tagged you. Okay, so now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna say, looking at your profiles now on LinkedIn Live. Okay. So now I'm going to paste these. I'm going to do another 10. And let's see what happens. Let's see if I break the system. Maria. Jeremy Fox. Corey Lathan. Michael Bailey, Doreen Petrie, Maureen Lamb, Jackie Clayton. Oh, she has a little thing over there. Ira Ozer. Dr. Chris Mullen. Kevin Roach. Okay, let's remove the rest of them now. Ctrl+X and hit comment. All right, so, so far we have 3 people that are viewing this here. Um, it tells me that. I don't know, I didn't refresh, so let me hit refresh here. Let's see what happens now. I'm going to click on comment. I'm going to click on most recent. You can do 30 at a time, then it will break. Yeah, I've done 30 at a time in the past. You can only tag 30. I can't handle the amount of people. I cannot handle the amount of people. Kind and loving. I'm not a fan of nasty people either. I'm always We'd love the auto-scroll for inviting people to events. Ooh, yes. It would be a good idea for every giveaway and auto-include people on my posts. Uh, logo idea. Okay, cool. Yeah. By the way, Don, if I, if you wanna be able to include 30 people at a time, you can make lists of 30 people and then, um, I wonder, I wonder, wonder, wonder if I can inject these people into a new comment. Hmm. Looking at your profile now on this LinkedIn Live. Enjoy. All right, let's see if I can do a couple more. Chaz, James.

John.

What I want to do is— oh, I have an idea. I could have added the@ sign to all their names. John Rainey, Kim Hansen, Paul. I have an idea. I just thought of an idea. Okay, we're gonna, we're gonna take these, Ctrl+X. We're gonna go back to the spreadsheet. We're gonna go here. We're gonna say, um, insert. We're gonna go to Holger.

Where's Holger?

Uh, Eugene, Corey, Bill, Davey. Here's Holger. I'm gonna press@ and then I'm gonna hit Ctrl+C. Wait, 32. So we'll do 30 at a time, but Ctrl+V. So see, so check this out. We're gonna do 1, 2, 3, 4. Okay, so we did count 30. We'll do 20, uh, 14. So we're going to go down to 30. We're going to try to do the max. We'll do 29. We don't want to do the max. Okay, Ctrl+C. So let's try this. Oh my God, did we just come up with a hack? All right, so let's see. I'm gonna say, looking at your profile now. Let me know if you see it on LinkedIn Live. Okay, now I'm going to press Ctrl+V. Oh no, we didn't. We're just saving so much time. Oh my God. Oh no, wrong one. Wrong Elizabeth. Okay, that's the right one. Eugene. Eugene Volsky.

Okay.

Andrew Ponce. Corey Perman. Corey Perman, good. Bill Davey. So now we know we have exactly 30 here. Nicole McKenzie. Abir Siddiqui, Ellie Weiss, Ellie Weber, Ellie Weber, Sahil Sadachev, Brittany Fox. We're actually not going to include Brittany Fox. They don't want to include her. Um, James Kilwick. I think we had James Kilwick already. I'm not going to include him because I think he was included already. Gina Carr. Oh, she has a dot there. Cade. Oh, Cade Dvorak. I didn't know Cade was a guy's name. Adam House Sr. Giddy Kane. Todd Lombardo. Todd Lombardo. It's like you have to click on the name, right? Otherwise it doesn't come up. Keith Bollig. Shulam Lipschitz. John Karras. Matthew Gayford. Gafford. Okay, so this works. This, this is a good strategy here, but it's not perfect because it still takes time to do. But what I'm gonna— what I'm gonna attempt to do is something else. I'm gonna attempt to do something else in a second. You're gonna see what I'm gonna do and you're gonna be like, damn, son. You're gonna see what I'm gonna do now. Glenn Stevens, Jason Duncan. Andy Purnell, and then Frank Howard. Okay, so I'm gonna try to— I'm gonna hit comment. Let's just see what happens. Okay, we got 136 comments. Let's just do the rest of them because we only have a few left, and I don't want to— I don't want to leave these people out. So let's see if I can combine. Yeah, you could definitely combine them where the space is not there. Um, so let's, let's try this out. What I'm going to do now is I'm going to do Windows+R. I'm going to do Notepad.

Oh, Notepad.

And what I'm going to do is I'm going to hit, um, this Ctrl+H and then Replace All. Okay, so I just, I just deleted all the spaces. There's a faster way to do this, but I'm just doing it manually because there's only a few. Okay, so now I'm going to copy this and I'm going to paste it in here. And I'm going to say, checking out your profile now on LinkedIn Live. All right, let's just see what happens here. Stuart Little. Oh, this is definitely faster. This is definitely faster, no question about it, because it— because it's coming down in a row instead of it just being mixed up like that, you know. So much faster. And I'm just clicking at the end of their names and it's loading their thing. Okay, I'm gonna hit comment and let's see the way it comes out like that. Okay, so it comes out like this. That's cool. That's cool. Much, much cooler.

Okay.

Then kind of having it all just like one big bundle, one big bundle of joy. Let me refresh this page over here and see if I get a new number. Um, I'm gonna click in here. I'm going to click recent. Look at that recent. Okay, so check this out. I'm going to click more. I'm going to edit this comment here. And now I have all this just like this.

Oh, class ql-mention for styling. Data attributes contain LinkedIn-specific identifiers and URNs. The name Layla as mentioned in the user. Okay, got it.

All right, cool.

So now that's good. Now what I'm gonna try to do is I'm just gonna try to copy this content just like this, and then I'm gonna hit cancel. I'm gonna go into another post here and I'm gonna paste it in here. Ooh, that stayed. That stayed. That's cool. No, no, it stayed. Okay. Yeah, I know it stays, but let me try this. Let me paste it in here. That strips it. So if I paste it in here, it strips it. If I paste it in Evie AI, will it save it? Let's go to evieai.com, log in. Let's see if it'll save it and see. Okay. Uh, templates. New template. No, it did not save it. Let's try Word. drive.google.com, new doc. Okay, that kind of saved it. All right, let's just see, let's just see if I copy this and I go back in here. Oh, it strips it, it doesn't save it. Okay, so let's try with Notion. Let's try with Notion. Let's try with Notion.

Wrong one.

I copied the wrong thing. Let's go here. Let's pull it in here. Oh, but I can't save post drafts properly. I can only save one post draft. Let's instead write an article and save the article as a draft. Manage draft. Ooh, next. Okay. Mention LinkedIn, LinkedIn users. Ooh. Here are LinkedIn users I want to save as mentions. So I'm gonna do Don. Let's see, where'd you go, Don? Oh, let me see. Where did Don go? Where did Don go? Where did, where did, where did, where did Don go? Could you imagine I create my own little collection of this shit? Ah, so excited right now. And I need to go to the bathroom. Let's see, Don Davis. Paste it. Paste as a code element Notion. Still not going to pull it. I can still— it's still not going to pull it. I tried copy and pasting names without being in the front of my laptop again. Let's see, I'll try it here and see if it works because I can test with your name. Um, okay, so I could test with your name. Let me know if you see this, please. Okay, so let's just see if I copy this like this and then I paste it in, say, here. Ah, it didn't work. Don Davis MBA. That didn't work. Let me just see this. I'm going to click here, edit, copy this, cancel. Let me go in here. Paste it in here. Comment. Comment. Comment.

Come on.

It keeps it. If I'm copying it from an edited comment, it keeps it. Okay, if I copy it from here, from a draft, let's see if it keeps it. It doesn't keep it if I copy it from a draft. No, it doesn't keep it. No, it doesn't even let me. Yeah, no, it doesn't let me do it. It has to be copied from an edited comment, which is— that means you have to have already mentioned them successfully in the past because you can't keep a draft of a comment, right? Oh, you can keep a draft of a DM. You can keep a draft of a DM. So let me go to Don Davis. Don Davis. Don Davis. And let me just save it as a draft. Uh, Don Davis. Okay, so now I can click away.

I want to present to you our new holiday deal for Evvy AI Pro to help you get results in 2025. My name is Joe Apfelbaum, and I'm on a mission to help more engaged LinkedIn users be able to generate $100,000 in profit in their business in 2025. Let me show you how we do this. We created a sales assistant called Evvy AI. Our goal is to be able to help people that are actively using LinkedIn Be able to post, engage, and message in a meaningful way. We do this in 3 ways. We have a comment generator. We learn your persona. We help you draft comments that are authentic in your voice under people's posts. We assist you with coming up with ideas for posts and then helping you write posts with a hook, main points, call to action, and hashtags, all optimized in seconds. And then we also help you craft messages. You can speak into the DM, it'll type everything up for you in a proper way, and then it'll optimize based on the conversation that you've been having. I personally use this every single day, and we have 15,000 users in 37 countries around the world using this. We help people get recommendations and build trust, optimize their profile, and even leave thoughtful notes when they're trying to connect on LinkedIn. We have so many exciting users. For example, Gene, he said, I've been using Evvy AI as a LinkedIn content assistant, and it truly transformed how I approach my presence on the platform. Before, creating posts that resonated and reached the right audience took a lot of time and planning. With Evvy AI, I can get great content, respond to messages, and even customize connection notes with just a few clicks. The AI provides great recommendations, helping me write posts that feel authentic and align perfectly with my professional tone and goals. One of the biggest advantages, I've been able to increase my visibility and engagement on my posts. I've noticed more interaction on my content and had more meaningful networking opportunities because of the optimized posts and comments Evvy AI helped me create. The persona and tone customization is also impressive, making the AI a powerful and flexible tool for anyone looking to save time while building a credible online presence. I highly recommend Evy AI. It's a game changer. And you can read these from our users on our Google Chrome extension page. We have both a web platform and a Google Chrome extension page. Jane said, I've been using Evy AI for about a year and it makes my workflow so much easier. You get quick and pinpointed comments for posts, and you can also edit, set up personas, and change the way you respond to different people. The possibilities are endless. It keeps getting better. Not only that, Joe Apfelbaum, me, also provides a network, his network with tons of helpful tips every single day, multiple times per day. The entire team at Evvy AI rocks. We provide amazing customer service, by the way. We have live help on our website where you go there, you get a real human, and you're able to chat with them. So we believe in AI, but we don't believe that AI should work independently from humans. We believe that AI should be an assistant and authentically help you be able to sound more human and do things in a faster, more professional way. Murray said, I'm a hardcore LinkedIn user for 20 years. LinkedIn is an amazing platform because everyone I need to work with is there. I'm always on the lookout to improve my results and systems with tools and hacks. Evvy AI is a true game changer. It's LinkedIn compliant and it works. There's nothing else like it. We don't use your LinkedIn cookie. We don't automate LinkedIn, just FYI. So that's why he said that. But it's much more than tech. It's an entire community. The support and strategies provided by the team led by the legendary Joe Apfelbaum are a $10,000 a year minimum. That's— we're not charging that, but he's saying that it's worth that. I can't recommend this highly enough. So if you want, go back and read all the different recommendations that we have. There were so many, it was so hard to choose which ones to pick, but I had ChatGPT while I was on LinkedIn Live help me pick the right ones. But essentially, here are the details of the holiday deal. We're giving away $20,000 worth of bonuses for those that sign up to the holiday deal with Evy AI Pro for a limited time only. So make sure to get it now before it runs out. So first of all, we're going to be giving exclusive training. So we're doing a live 2-hour monthly training. We're having one in December. We're having one in January. February and all year long, you're going to get access to these incredible trainings. Yes, the incredible training. Somebody just said it worked. Hang on, let me pop this open. Dude, dude, Jackie joined us and she said it worked. I'm going to stop this right here. These are 2-hour strategy sessions where we go— Okay, okay, Joe, enough, enough with the selling, enough with the selling. What's, what's with you selling stuff constantly? You're constantly selling things. Okay, let's go back over here and see what Jackie said. We're up to 4 minutes and 26 seconds. By the way, were you enjoying that? Were you enjoying that video? Actually, if you want the video, let me know. Say, Joe, send me the video in the chat. I'll be happy to send you the video. But Jackie said it worked. Let me see. She got a notification. Oh my God, let me go back. And she joined us. Oh my God, she said, yay, it worked! And she was one of the mentions. Dude, she was one of the mentions. That makes me so excited that this strategy worked. Jackie joined us because of the strategy. How cool is that? Don't you think that's awesome? I think it's awesome. We have 146 comments. We only need another 50 comments. To get to the goal of 200, just about 50. So glad it worked. I'm so glad it worked. 146. That's 147th comment. I just left myself the 147th comment. Somebody said, Joe, can you look up templates on LinkedIn? Let me see what you— let me see. Let's look at Jackie's profile. I'm gonna say I'm so glad, so glad it worked. So, so glad it worked. Let me see if she's on here. Okay, her birthday is May 30th. I can't wait till it's your birthday. Let me see what post she posted recently. Take a look at her posts on LinkedIn. Okay, she she said my uncertainty era. Hmm, okay, okay, I feel you, I feel you. I'm gonna leave you a comment. I'm gonna leave you a comment just because you came and you shared your love with us today. I'm gonna go ahead, Jackie, and leave you a comment. Just like that. I'm looking at my phone here to see the most relevant comments and the most recent comments. She said, I did, thanks for the invite. All right, so Jackie, um, thank you for joining us. She just said, I did, thanks for the comment, for the invite. So I'm going to take a look at Jackie's profile and I'm going to, I'm going to give her some ideas. for what she could do to improve her profile. So first of all, I always tell people to go to your profile and read your About section and make sure that it has enough content in it. So your About section has some content in it, but it doesn't have the full amount of content you can possibly have in it. So if you go to Evvy AI on the left side and you click on Profile Optimizer, You can select your goal. What's your goal? Is it brand building? Guys, let me know in the chat. Is your goal brand building, lead generation, marketing, networking, profile editing? What's what's your goal for your profile? Is it thought leadership? Let me know what your goal is. I saw the video of this guy who who says his name is Ahud or something who says. To put your hands together and start cultivating energy. Do you guys believe in that? Do you guys believe in cultivating energy? Like, do you believe that you can take your hands together and feel the energy between your hands? You said put your fingers together to kind of feel it more? I'm gonna say like go a little further apart and come a little closer together. I don't know, I just feel really weird doing that. I feel really weird doing that, but I'm gonna practice that. I'm actually gonna practice it and see if I can start feeling the, like, the energy between my hands. And then he's like, you can feel energies on trees, you can energies on other people. You can feel energies in different parts of your body. You can see auras. He has the $360 course I was thinking of buying just to kind of learn it, but that's neither here nor there. That's neither here nor there. That's such an ADD moment. Um, yeah, so I'm gonna go here and check out my recent activity here to see what people are saying. Networking. She said networking. Don said lead generation. You know what? Let me ask Claude this question. I have a question for Claude. I want when I copy, when I edit a comment on LinkedIn and it has a mention. When I paste that content from the edited comment into another new comment, it keeps the mention. How do I save that so that I can Have access to that in the future. Can I save it via a Google Chrome extension? Create a simple text document or note where you paste the mentions. This requires no extra tools. Use the built-in Chrome extension bookmarking feature to save comment URLs containing the mentions. Use a note-taking extension like Note Clipper, Notion. It kind of loses dimension, but when I copy from LinkedIn directly, it keeps the dimension. LinkedIn uses a special format for mentions that includes hidden metadata like user IDs and special markup that make the mentions active, not visible. When you save to Notion, it only saves the visible text without the special LinkedIn markup. That's why when you copy back to LinkedIn, it's just plain text without the active mention. Directly copying to LinkedIn preserves the special metadata, which is why the mention stays active when copying. Unfortunately, there's no simple way to preserve the active mention functionality when storing outside of LinkedIn since it's as part of LinkedIn's internal system. Your best bet would be keep a draft LinkedIn post with your commonly mentioned mentions, create a private LinkedIn article that mentions the mentions you want to mention, use LinkedIn's bookmark feature. I want you to create a Google Chrome extension that has a text Area box that looks like a comment that is being edited and it saves the mentions there. Can you do that for me? Here is the code of the box. Oh my God, I just came up with an idea. Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Apfelbaum is a genius. Let's see, let's see if this works. If it works, I'm a genius. If it doesn't work, I'm also a genius. I think you're a genius too. Let's go in here. Oh my God. Oh my God. Did I just, did I just come up with an— right guys, write genius in the chat if you think it would, if this works, if it's genius. Let's click on the 3 dots over here. Okay, so let's click on edit. I'm gonna cancel. I'm gonna go here. I'm gonna say, let me know if you can see this. And we'll test out with Jackie. And then we'll test out with David, with Don Davis. Because you guys are here with me right now. Okay, so now I'm going to copy this. I'm going to say, let me see if you can see this. Let me know if you can see this. And then let me go to a different post somewhere else, like Tufan's post or whatever. You posted 5 days ago. I'm just going to mention you guys here. Oh, I can't.

Son of a gun.

Son of a gun. I can't even mention it there. Let's go to Evie AI. I'll tag you on one of the posts just to kind of see a random post from 4 weeks ago. Okay, so I just pasted this in there. Okay, so I, I, oh wow. So it doesn't have to be an edited one. It could even be just one that's right here. Oh my God, you got alerted, Jackie? Let me know if you got alerted when I pasted that in right here, if you got alerted about it. Say, I got, I got a notification, or I didn't get a notification. And by the way, thanks for testing with me. I'm going to press Edit, Cancel. I'm going to go here and I'm going to click Inspect. Oh my God, this is so cool. Oh, you didn't get a notification?

You were number 22. Okay, so Marlene, did you get a notification? I'm gonna ask her this question in EverEye. Did you get a notification that I mentioned you in a comment and then you showed up to the LinkedIn Live? I'm gonna press insert, put a question mark. Let's see if she replies to me. I'm gonna click here and I'm going to go to posts and activity. Marlene says, what are you doing? Okay, I'll show you what I'm doing. You see this? You see this post over here, Marlene? This post has lots of comments in it. It has 181 comments. Okay, that's what this post has. So I'm going to click on most recent. Oh, Marlene, Marlene. Okay, sorry, Marlene. Is that better? By the way, did you know that you can have a pronunciation thing on your profile? So if you go to my profile— oh, because you're from the Netherlands. Got it, Marlene. Um, so if you go to your— go to your— go to my profile, I'll give you an example. This is such an ADD moment right now, but it's Sunday Funday, so we can do this. Check this out. I'm gonna hit play. Listen to this pronunciation. If you actually listen to this, send me a DM and let me know that you heard this. I'm curious to know how many people actually listen to this. My name is Joe Apfelbaum. That's how you pronounce my name. Okay, so you can create one of these from the mobile app, from the LinkedIn mobile app, just FYI. Okay, so what are we doing here? Good question. Uh, let's go back to it. So what I did was I, uh, by the way, if you're watching this, let me know where in the world you're dialing in from. Um, there's a couple of people watching over here, so I'm just curious to know where you guys are at. Um, I'm going to click on— oh, so, so what I did was I decided to check out who's actually on LinkedIn right now. Okay. Who are the people that are actually on LinkedIn right now? And then what I did was I went ahead and mentioned the people that are on LinkedIn. So these are the people that LinkedIn, out of, out of 2,000 people, I looked up my last 2,000 connections and out of the last 2,000 connections, LinkedIn reported that these are the people that are online, including Marlene and including all these other people. And so I decided what I'm going to do is I'm going to mention all these people on this list on this particular post. Okay. I'm going to mention all these people. Are you following? Say following in the chat if you guys are following what I'm saying. So I said, I'm going to mention all of them in the post. So I said, okay, so looking at your profile right now on LinkedIn Live, looking at your profile right now on LinkedIn Live. And he said, thank you so much. You see, Ahmed said, thank you so Thank much. you so much. You see? So this is Ahmed over here. Now I'm gonna say, when I mentioned you, see my, this is not working, so I'm gonna click on this. When I mentioned you on LinkedIn, did you actually get a notification from LinkedIn and how did it come up? Okay, I'm gonna press insert. Netherlands, Waco, Texas. Okay, so we got Tennessee, Netherlands, and Texas. Maria, my friend's calling me. Hey, Maria.

Joe!

Hey, I'm on LinkedIn Live right now. Love you, bye. No, it's— Maria just called me. I picked up. Um, I told her I'm on LinkedIn Live and she's like, all right, love you, bye.

Okay.

Oh, Terry. I wonder if Terry was one of the people that I mentioned as well. Let me hit Ctrl+F. Yeah, Terry was also one of the people that I mentioned. This is working. People are noticing. This is crazy. Let me click on Terry's profile. Let me click on— let me go back to the notification. It looks like Ahmed's already responding as well.

Okay.

And let's see what she says over here. Let me message her. Um, by the way, do you guys use mentions in your posts? I'm curious to know if you are able to get a notification from LinkedIn when I mentioned you in my post.

Okay.

So I just messaged her like that. So let me see if this also works for posts. I'm going to Copy. I'm gonna go to create a new post right now. Start a post. Oh my God, this works in posts too! Hello, do you guys understand this level of technology that we just built? Do you guys understand that means that we can save mentions for posts For comments. Damn, damn, damn. All I have to say is damn. So let me, let me make a list of people. Oh my God, that are likely to come, like, that won't get annoyed if I mention them, you know? Like, you have to have a list of people. Looking for a list of people. So I'm actually going to write a post right now. I'm actually going to write a post. I'm actually going to go ahead and put a picture of myself. I'm going to go to Google Photos and I'm going to download a photo of myself.

Okay.

And then I'm going to go to Canva. Where's my Canva? Here's my Canva. I pull it up. I'm gonna make a 1024 new design. We're gonna do a LinkedIn post, just a regular LinkedIn post. Where's a regular business LinkedIn post? Okay, so we have a regular LinkedIn post. We're gonna grab the image I just downloaded, put it in here. We're gonna go here. I'm gonna go like that. I don't want that white, that little white line here. And I'm gonna go here and write text, add a text box. Do you mind if I mention you as part of my test? Do you mind if I mention you? On posts, on posts and comments. Okay, Ctrl+A. So this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to change the color of this to white so people can actually see it. Then I'm going to make it bigger. Actually, I'm going to make it like this. So like that. And actually, you know what? I want a bubble. So I'm going to do elements, speech, speech bubble. Ooh, I like that. And then I'm going to make this an Evie AI color. I'll make it purple, put it on top of the speech bubble like this. Make the speech bubble itself yellow, like Evie AI. Go like that and group it. And then put this like here, like that. And then I'm going to find my logo, put this like this and put this on my shirt just like that. Actually, I'll put this right here. Do you mind if I mention you in posts and comments? Okay. Now I'm going to go here and I'm going to download it.

Download.

And yes, I took this photo this morning while I was running. Okay, so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to write a post right now, use Evie AI, change my persona to Joe Apfelbaum. I think it's time for me to make a new persona, but whatever. I'm not gonna do it now. I am looking to test out a new functionality for my artificial intelligence tool for LinkedIn, where it allows me to be able to save groups of people that I can mention on posts and people that I can mention on comments so that they get notified and so that I can give them shoutouts. I need a couple of engaged LinkedIn users that are willing to be my test subjects for this experiment because I don't want to annoy people, and I want you to kind of opt into being mentioned. Can you help me by opting in to being mentioned? And so I know that you want to be mentioned by leaving a comment on this post, letting me know if you want to be mentioned in posts, comments, or both. Thank you so much. Okay, I'm going to hit generate. And let's see what it does. Okay, I'm going to press Insert. I like that. Have you ever wondered how to effectively— can you help me test out this new, uh, test out Would you be willing to be mentioned on my posts and comments? The only request that I have is that you reply. Otherwise, the powers that be get upset that I mentioned and you didn't reply.

Okay.

Today I'm on a mission to empower a million businesses using LinkedIn with AI. Imagine having an assistant that only streamlines your marketing efforts. No, no, no. This isn't just automation. Okay, I'm going to delete that because I don't need that. I'm looking to test new functionality for Evie AI that allows me to mention engaged LinkedIn users in posts and comments. This feature aims to foster community recognition without being intrusive. If you're interested in being part of this experiment, simply leave a comment indicating whether you want to be mentioned in post comments or both. Your feedback is invaluable. If you find this post insightful, I encourage you to share with your network. Okay, so now I'm going to click on this, click next, and now I'm going to hit post. Would you be willing to be mentioned in my posts and comments? Now I'm going to go here and I type in Don. Oh, actually, I'm going to go back to this Here, I'm gonna press copy, um, and I'm gonna mention these 2 people right here. Boom! Oh my God. Okay, here are some that I think would not mind. Evan Messman. Oh, that's cool. Let's see. Evan Messman, Tina Larson, Mike Larkin. Who else came to the session today? Bryn. Actually, SC. SC. I see Star, Tammy Joy, Slickter, Honey, Honey May. Now let me see if I, if I want to keep the formatting of this, if it allows me to save the formatting too. Oh my God, if it allows me to save the formatting and then I can add additional text promoting each person. The health coach, New York City condo and co-op expert, the print genius. The marketing guru. The Evie AI expert. Okay, so I'm gonna go here, copy that, hit comment, and then I'm gonna go here. Let's save this. Holy crap! Holy crap! We need an edit button here. If I want to edit this, I have to delete it and re-edit it. Okay, whatever. I'm not gonna overcomplicate it with an edit button right now. But damn, damn, that worked. If I click on this, nothing happens. It just goes to LinkedIn. But if I click on it on the post itself, let's see what happens. Let me know if you see this. Please, you like the comment. Feel free to. Thank you. Do you mind if I mention you? All right, let's see what Don said. He said, yes, I see it. Maria says, love it. Nice weather in Vancouver.

Wow.

That's crazy. How long have I been on LinkedIn Live? 3 hours and 23 minutes. This is a record. This is literally a record. Crazy. Like, how else can you do a video for 3 hours and 30 minutes on LinkedIn? But now what I'm going to do is I'm going to find all the people that I have a relationship with in different places, and I'm going to start combining them together and mentioning them in groups of 30. And we're going to see how many people I can actually mention on one post. I have hit roadblocks in the past with mentions, so you don't want to overdo it. But that's interesting. I'm gonna go ahead and send this message out. Oh my God, I have such a good idea. This is crazy. I'm so excited right now. I'm gonna go here, send this to them right here. I'm gonna go here, I'm gonna paste this in here. All right, I think I'm gonna, I'm gonna start Wrapping up this session here, but is there any questions that you guys have related to LinkedIn, about related to AI or anything interesting that you learned? If you were in this session for more than 5 minutes, was there something specific that you learned today that you got value from? Like, what did you, what was the number one takeaway that you got from today's session? Takeaways. I want takeaways. My number one takeaway is, let's see what my number one takeaway is. Let me go here, click on See Relevant, Most Relevant, Most Recent. I'm gonna say, just have fun on LinkedIn. That's the key. Okay, I said just have fun on LinkedIn, that's the key. Let's see what else people said. You're funny. Thank you, Jackie.

I'm funny.

Jackie says, yes, I'm in. Amazing, amazing, amazing sauce. By the way, we have a webinar tomorrow. Um, let me see if I have the webinar link somewhere. www.heavyai.com/webinar. This is the webinar we're having tomorrow. It's about LinkedIn trends and strategies for a winning year using AI. So I highly recommend that you guys join our session. If you're interested in joining, I'll send you guys a link. Don't let perfect get in the way of progress. That's what I learned, she said. Jackie said, thank you. That's a good, that's a good lesson to learn. I clicked on the wrong thing and now I'm not able to comment. I'm gonna go back to my profile. I'm gonna close. I'm gonna go back over here. I'm gonna click on this. Join us for an exciting webinar on Monday. At 1 PM EST, very cool session happening. Okay, and then I'm going to cut this out, paste this in. You know what, maybe I could just have the team save that As comment snippets so they don't have to add a whole nother thing, a whole nother section called a mention saver. Maybe they could just adjust the technology that we already have here in templates, and then when you create a new template, you can turn on the mention saver thing here and it'll save the mentions. That's a good idea. When you paste mentions, it'll kind of save the mentions in that In that way. Maybe we'll just do that instead of creating a whole mention saver thing, or we can create a whole section called mention saver and just save the mentions.

I don't know.

We'll see. Maybe we should just do a separate section called mention saver. I'll talk to my team about it and figure out what the best route is. The best method of doing that is, but you guys should definitely register for the webinar that's happening. This one right here. What else? Any other takeaways? Ooh, David. David, David. David, David. Did you see the mention saver that we created on LinkedIn Live today?

No.

Okay, I just sent him a— let me click on his face again. I'm going to save his profile and I'm going to save him as an Evie AI Pro user because he's pro. Evie AI Pro. See that? Saved him in that folder. So if I want to check out his posts later, I click on see all recent activities. It just loads all of his recent activities just like that. That's one of the benefits of Evie AI Pro and Evie AI in general. It's like just be able to leave comments on people's posts with a click of a button. Very powerful. Okay, I'm going to close this. Tracy, uh, Tristan is part of EO, so I'm going to go ahead and Connect with him. I see that you're part of Entrepreneurs Organization, so I'm excited to learn more from you. Okay, I hit send. Thanks, I'm interested. So if somebody says they're interested, I'm going to reply. Got it. Adding you to the list. Now what I'm going to do is I think it's worth it for me to have an edit button there. So I'm just going to say, can you add an edit button so I can edit? each entry after I save them? And also, can you add an import and export feature that allows me to save groups of mentions as a JSON? And then Add that. Oh my God, we just— we're improving the functionality of the technology now. I'm adding a new feature, ladies and gentlemen. We are adding a new feature right now. We're going to add— look how quickly I'm able to add a new feature. So typically it would take forever for a development team to put this together, but for me to be able to add a new feature like import and export and like edit just takes a few seconds. Okay. So that's done. Now I'm going to take this technology to a whole new level. I'm going to click on edit JavaScript, edit code. Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V. I'm going to go ahead, delete the beginning. I'm going to go to the top, grab these— this right over here. Ctrl+X, save. Go to the header up here, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V, delete the last 2 tags. Go to the home, delete the first 3 like that, and then hit save. And then hit save. And then publish, and then we're done. We just added new functionality. So let's just see if this works. Okay, edit. Ah, save edit. That worked. Edit, save edit. Oh, export. Oh my God, I just exported it. Yay, we added export. Now I'm going to do clear all saved. Import data. Okay, okay. Ah, I exported and imported data. It works. That is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. So now what I can do is I can create a whole JSON full of people that I want to mention. And then let's see what that JSON even looks like. Let's open up Notepad. And let's take a look at what that JSON looks like, because technically I can just add more JSONs. Let's see what that looks like. Oh my God, this is totally gibberish to me. But where's the URL? Are there URLs? Oh yeah, LinkedIn feed, and then the URN. Oh my God, now I know how to do this. Now I get it. So now I can add anybody's Now I can add mentions without adding mentions because all I need is this code. Ah, this is pretty amazing because if I take anybody else's, if I take anybody else's thing like this, I wonder if I change this to yours. See, each person has one of these code names here, right? So this is like your automatic name. Each person has like this like profile ID. So if I figure out what this profile ID is in your profile and I save this profile ID somewhere, then I can generate a mention. I wonder if I can generate a mention with somebody else's name.

Huh.

And then when you click on it, it goes to my profile. I don't want to, you know, I wonder how that would work, or does it always have to match perfectly? Otherwise it just won't work. Interesting. This is so cool that it does this like this. All right. I'm not going to, I'm not going to mess with this too much, but it works, ladies and gentlemen. Now we're able to do mentions. Oh my God, so happy about that. Stan says— oh, Stan liked all my comments. I think he might just be using— I don't know, but I think he might just be using technology to go ahead to get followers by liking and liking and liking and liking things because he only has— well, he only has 4,000 followers, so Um, I don't know. I don't think, I don't think somebody, I don't think unless it's somebody doing it physically going and going through all my stuff. But the fact that he's using this format over here tells me that he's doing something that's a little bit more advanced. And then the fact that he's going and liking, liking, liking, liking comments. On posts tells me something is— something interesting is going on. I don't know. It's, it's a little suspicious. I'm not sure.

I don't—

I'm not against it, but, um, but yeah, but there's something going on, something fishy going on, and I'd like to get to the bottom of it, but I don't know what is going on. I certainly don't mind. I'm gonna say wonderful. Let's see what Rick Weinberg said.
