The Fastest Way to Message Your LinkedIn Network

How do I message all of my connections quickly? Now, when it comes to using LinkedIn, you want to be able to do things that will get you conversations. But in order to do that properly, you need to have the right technology. We are live, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. So you might be wondering, How do I message all of my connections quickly? Let's go to linkedin.com and think about who we want to message. Now, when it comes to using LinkedIn, you want to be able to do things that will get you conversations, will get you referrals, will get you clients. Really, that's the name of the game. But in order to do that properly, you need to have the right technology. My recommendation is to use Evvy AI, your LinkedIn AI content assistant. And if you go to the Google Chrome Store, you can see the latest version of Evi AI. So in this case, we came up with it on October 29th, version 2.2.160. So let me teach you how to update your extension if you have not updated your extension. So I'm going to click on the 3 dots on the top, I'm going to click on Extensions, and then I'm going to click on Manage Extensions. Now I'm going to delete the temporary one that I have over here. That's how you remove extensions. And if I have— if you want to find the Evi AI extension, you search Evi and then you click on Details, and then you're going to see the version that you have. So I have version 2.2 This here is version 2.2.16. I need to update the extension. So if you're not on developer mode, you put on developer mode, this should happen automatically anyway. But I'm just gonna hit update over here and you're gonna see it's gonna change from 1.5 to 1.6 in just a moment. It says updating. See, now it's 2.2.16. Once you update your extension, you gotta make sure that your LinkedIn is actually closed and kind of like reopen it. You gotta reopen your LinkedIn, like close it, reopen it. I wouldn't keep LinkedIn open with an old extension. I would just close all my tabs, maybe restart my browser, maybe even restart my computer. Doing that will allow you to be able to get the most bang for your buck. All right, so let's open up a version of LinkedIn right now. I'm opening it up right now. All right, let's test it out. The first thing you want to do is you want to make sure you've pinned your extension. So you look for your extension here. If you don't see your extension here, make sure that you actually have the extension. So I'm going to go back to Evvii AI. I'm going to make sure that it's on. You see, in this case it was off. Make sure that it's pinned. You can actually move it around as well. I like to have it all the way on the left here as my first extension. So I'm gonna click on it. It takes me to linkedin.com because the extension only works on linkedin.com right now. All right, and now it loaded this box. That means that we are in and it's working. Also, this purple box means that it's embedded in LinkedIn. All right, so now I'm gonna go here and I'm going to click on this little comment box. And look at this, there's a microphone here. This is amazing. We now have a microphone on Evie AI. All right, so I'm gonna press generate over here just to kind of see how this works. And I'm going to leave a comment just like that. You see, I just left a comment on Kevin O'Leary's post. Now, why did I leave a comment on his post? Because if you check out Kevin O'Leary, you'll notice he has 4.1 million followers on LinkedIn. And someone that has 4.1 million followers typically gets dozens, if not hundreds of likes and dozens of comments. So if he has dozens of comments, say 44 comments, what I can easily do is leave a comment and then all the other people that left a comment will get notified that I also left a comment. left a comment and they will kind of check out my profile and hopefully look into my business, build a relationship with me. And I can see who looked at my profile here. Once somebody looks at my profile, I can easily send them a message. So why would you wanna message people on LinkedIn? Well, the reason I wanna message people on LinkedIn is I have a trigger. So if I wanna be top of mind with someone on LinkedIn, for example, this guy named Alex, co-founder of Everly Market, he— I said, thanks for connecting on LinkedIn. This was March in 2023. Then October, he had a birthday, so I messaged him. Then he had a birthday again this October, so I messaged him Again, he responded, thank you, Joe. And now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna say, have you had a chance to check out my LinkedIn artificial intelligence assistant? I'm curious to know because I want all of my connections to check it out. Thank you very much, Alex. I press insert and now that inserted that. So I literally spoke into the LinkedIn DM. Write wow in the chat if you are just like floored by the fact that I spoke into the DM. This will save you so much time if you wanna send hundreds of messages. On LinkedIn, you can either speak them, you can speak the messages. Let me just, I don't know why this is still here, this little box on the bottom. There you go. Okay, I'm gonna click here. Okay, good, I'm in. I don't know why that happened, but you could either speak the messages, you can use templates. I have lots of different templates that I can send people. But the problem is, is when you load too many profiles on LinkedIn, LinkedIn slows down to a complete crawl. And so I found a way to be able to send messages to people without slowing down LinkedIn and without getting LinkedIn to slow down to a crawl. And the way that you do that is you click on Connections on the left side. You see that I clicked on Connections, and then you can start messaging people. Now I have 29,000 connections. I'm curious to know how many connections do you have on LinkedIn? Go ahead, leave a comment now and let me know how many connections you have on LinkedIn. I'm gonna log into Tammy's profile real quick. I'm gonna find this live on LinkedIn by going to the homepage of LinkedIn. And typically when I go to the homepage of LinkedIn, LinkedIn shows my live to my connections. And so Tammy's one of those connections. I'm gonna go ahead and hit that repost button. Hit the repost button. And you can also, if you're watching this on the feed right now, just hit that repost button so more people see it. Hit that like button, maybe hit like the light bulb, maybe hit like the round of applause, maybe hit the heart. And then also leave a comment. Let me know what city you're dialing in from. I'm gonna say California. That is where I'm at. Love this mic on Evie AI. All right. So I'm gonna hit comment and now Tammy left a comment. Now Tammy, her profile left a comment over here. I'm gonna respond to her comment using Evvy AI. So how am I gonna do that? Well, I can do that automatically using AI. Now some people don't like artificial intelligence and they don't wanna use AI. That's totally fine. If you don't wanna use AI, you could use a template. So for example, I'm going to, if I go in here and I try to reply to this comment, it's not gonna work. So, you know, LinkedIn doesn't allow you to comment on your own video while you're on live. For whatever reason, that just doesn't work. So instead, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go to linkedin.com/joeapelbaum/recent-activity/all. That'll load up my live because that's my most recent post. And then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna give myself a little light bulb. And then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna reply to Tammy using Evie AI by clicking on the Evie AI box over here and clicking on generate. And it's gonna generate a reply for Tammy. I'm gonna hit reply and now it just replied right over here. Okay. Now, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna teach you the step-by-step process to message people. Now, you have to have a reason to message people. You don't wanna just message people for no reason. That is called spam. So it's either their birthday. So if you go to My Network on the top here, you have something called the Catch Up tab. And in the Catch Up tab, you have job changes, you have birthdays, you have work anniversaries, you have education. So for example, I can say, congrats on starting in the Institute of Medicine, or congrats on finishing up INSTEAD, or congrats on finishing up Harvard Business School. Do you see that? So I messaged these people and all these people got messages. And you see how quickly I did that. This was 3 in 3 seconds. So if you wanna do 60 seconds worth, you can literally go and message all the people that have birthdays. And as you can see, I already did this for all the people that have birthdays. You can use technology to help you do this. Let's say you already did this. Okay, let's say you did the birthdays, you did the work anniversaries, you did the job changes, you did the education, and you wanna message another 100 people. I recommend using something called the Connections Dashboard. If you need a dashboard, just write in the chat, I need a dashboard, and I'll be more than happy to help you out. Help you get a dashboard. But let me look at all my Alexes. I'm gonna search Alex here under my network. Again, this is not loading any additional pages on LinkedIn. And now I wanna send Alex, every single Alex I'm connected to, a message. So what I can do is I can craft a message, put it into Evy AI, and start sending all these people messages. So check this out. I'm gonna click on Alex right over here, and I could see I've been messaging Alex for quite some time. I see I sent him my phone number. I don't know what happened over here. Let's see what you do for CEOs. Boom. Do you wanna chat today? Yes. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So I'm gonna click on the Evy AI thing. I developed a new artificial intelligence technology for LinkedIn, and I wanna make sure that all of my connections know about this technology. Would you mind if I sent you a quick video to watch that explains how it works? Please let me know. Thank you so much, Alex. I appreciate you. Okay, so now I'm gonna press Insert, and what I can do is I can just simply copy this. Okay, so I just press Copy and I press Send. Okay, I developed a new artificial technology for LinkedIn, and I wanna make sure that all of my connections know about this technology. Would you mind if I send you a quick video to watch that explains how it works? Please let me know. Thank you so much. Alec. All right. Now I'm going to make sure that I send this to all of my connections. I'm looking through this and I see I haven't sent this already. I need to make sure I see the context for each connection. But how quickly am I going to send these messages? You know what? Why don't we put up a timer? Let's go to Windows. Let me type in timer. I'm going to put up the clock and let's just see how many connections I can send out. I'm going to click on this timer here. Let's see how many connections I can send out. Let's see if I click over here, does it go away? Yeah, it goes away. Um, let me see if I can click here. It still goes away. Let me click on this. Oop, now it's here. Oh, now it doesn't go away. Look at that. And I can, can I make it bigger? Can I make it bigger? Can I make it even bigger? And it still doesn't go away. Oh yes, I did. Oh, it didn't go away. All right, here we go. So the goal is to see how many connections I can send out in, let's say 5 minutes. We're gonna go for 5 minutes straight. Let's just make sure I don't have another call coming up cuz my assistant is MIA today. Uh, let's see what I have here. I have Joe and Scott. Okay, so I only have 4 minutes. So we're going to go for 3 minutes and then we're going to end it because I have a call coming up with this guy named Scott and I don't want to miss it. All right, so let's go. Here we go. Ready, get set, go. So 3 minutes, we're going to start messaging my connections. I first need to review to make sure I haven't already sent them a message. Um, he says Supreme, pretty cool, really excited about it. Um, I already messaged him about Evie AI, but I'm gonna message him again and see what he says. Okay, so this guy's name is Alexander. His name is not Alex. I'm still going to send him the Alex message. That's fine. I just want to go for volume now. So that's 3, 4. Let's see over here. I'm going to say, what do you think? I'm going to click on this little thing. What do you think of our artificial intelligence technology? Your feedback is so valuable to me. Okay, I just sent him this update. I'm going to click on Alex again. We're going for volume. This is 5. Alex— I'm not going to send this Alex a message where he knows what I'm doing. Okay, I'm going to send him this one. 6. 7. I'm gonna go for this Alex over here. 8. I'm gonna click on this Alex here. That's 9. We haven't been in touch since 2020. Look at that. 9. We're gonna go for 10. Let's see when the last time we spoke was. August. We already had a conversation. That was 9. Okay, so we're gonna go for 10. Okay, now we're gonna do Perrier Alex. We're gonna skip that one. We're gonna do Alex Hit. We definitely spoke about it already. I'm not gonna do it again. Alex Negum. We haven't been in touch since 2020, so I'm gonna send him that message. Alex Elkin. Just see, 2019. I'm going to send him a message over here. Alex Perez 2022, definitely need to send him a message. Alex Pfeffer, again, another message. Alexis definitely knows about it. Alexander Rumpler, send him a message. Not even keeping track as to how many I'm already sending, but I'm definitely sending a ton. Alex Komos, Alex Dobo. As you can see, I've already been messaging many of these people. Alex Schulman, this one's a good one. Um, let's see who else. Alex Pollack. As you can see, I'm not even up to 3 minutes and you can see how many people I've already messaged. We're going to go to Alex Jacoby. I've never even messaged Alex Jacoby, it looks like. Alex Hormozi, we're going to skip because he's probably not going to see it anyway. I'm going to message him again. Alex Miller, this Pro Insurance Sales. Okay, so we got up to 1 minute. We got up to 3 minutes. Now we're going to stop and we're going to go back just to count, count how many we did. So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. Okay, so we got about 20 in 3 minutes. I'm gonna stop this timer. So 20 in 3 minutes is not bad. So if it's 20 in 3 minutes, let's open up a calculator. Let's do the calculation over here because we're not geniuses. I'm gonna close this timer here because we don't need the timer anymore. So if you do 20 in 3 minutes, how many could you do in 30 minutes? You could do 200 in 30 minutes. Right? So 20 in 3 minutes. So you times that by 10 as you add another 100, that's 200. So in about 15 minutes, if you did this for 15 minutes straight, you'd be able to get to 100. In 15 minutes, you can get to 100. Now you might say, well, Joe, I don't want to message all my Alexes. All right, who do you want to message? Your Jessicas? And this is with me, including with me doing some voice chats. This is with me like looking back at the conversation history, which right now, if you're using automation, there's no automation that's going to go back and look at the conversation history and understand context. That's not there yet. That will happen eventually, but that's not Not there yet. Want to make networking easier and more effective?
