Top LinkedIn Influeners and how to engaged with them 120 LinkedIn Live 2024 with Joe Apfelbaum

So what am I doing right now? I am engaging with LinkedIn influencers. I am going to press stop navigation with this tool just to kind of show you what I'm doing. So this is, this is Bill Gates over here. You see this? Bill Gates. I got Richard Branson. I got Gary Vaynerchuk. Gary Vaynerchuk has 5.6 million followers. I have Alex Hormozi here. He has 468,000 followers. You see, what I do is I use this tool right here, Evvy AI, to help me be able to post on LinkedIn, and that allows me to stay top of mind with his audience. Um, this is really powerful if you have the right list of influencers. And I have a full list of influencers. I have different types of influencers. Um, and I built this thing called Link Navigator, which allows me to go through links, not just on LinkedIn, but just like everywhere. So let's say I want to quickly check out tech blogs 5 seconds apart. I press start navigation and it just pops up in a window. And every 5 seconds you see 2, 1 takes me to the next tech blog. It's going to take me through TechCrunch, The Verge, um, Ars Technica. It's going to take me through Engadget and Wired all within 25 seconds. And I can make it loop if I want. I'll kind of loop through it. But the way that I use this is with, say, LinkedIn influencers. So if I go to influencers just like this, I type in top LinkedIn influencers. I have a list of influencers like Richard, uh, like Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Jeff Weiner, Satya Nadella, whatever, all these people that have a million plus. So if I want to make a million, if I want to take a million plus, I just go here like this. So I can, I can do that, or I can see their recent posts if I want to see the recent posts. I'd rather see the recent posts, like Kevin O'Leary, just like this. I can see his recent post. So Um, what I do is I can do this, copy this just like this, put this here, put this here. And then what I can do is go here, copy this, double-click here, paste that there. So that gives me his, um, his stuff just like that. Okay, boom, I just did that. Okay, so I have all these— well, there's a couple more here. I'll paste this here, um, and then I'll just grab the end of this URL here just like this. Ctrl+C, go here to the end here and paste this like this. And paste. But if you're watching this live, just write live in the chat so that I know you're here. So these are all the people that have a million plus followers. I'm going to copy this. I'm going to go here, click on Manage Folders. I'm going to say Influencers 1M Plus. I press Add. Now I have a new folder in here called Influencers 1M Plus. I click Manage Links. I paste all the links and I hit Add Links. And now I just added all the links here. So if I want to visit them, say every 30 to 45 seconds, I just press 30 to 45 seconds over here and I press start navigation and it'll do a random delay and just kind of pull these up every 30 to 45 seconds. And so I can go through all their recent posts and if I haven't left a comment on one of their posts, I can use Evvy AI to help me generate comments on those posts really quickly. And as you can see, I still have time to do other stuff like interact with some of their other followers. or see what people have been saying or look at their previous posts from before that maybe I haven't, um, you know, I haven't interacted with or something. Um, and then automatically when time is up, when that 30 seconds or 34 seconds in this case with Richard Branson is up, it goes to the next influencer, which makes life much, much easier. Um, so this is Richard Branson's post over here. I see I liked it already and left a comment already, so I don't need to do that. I can go back to a previous one and If I want to catch up on this and kind of notify all the people. So when you leave a comment on the post, a lot of the people that have commented on the post before will get notified that you left a comment on the same post that they left a comment on. That also gives you exposure on your profile. Now, there's a lot that you can do with this tool here. This tool in conjunction with Evie AI, very powerful. This is Jeff Weiner, the chairman, former CEO. Of LinkedIn. He once left a comment on my post and I got 550,000 visitors to that blog, to that post, because he left a comment. Do you see this phone? It's worth $90 and I know how to make it. Can I make it? Okay, let's see what else is going on. We got 9 seconds left. We're going to look at his profile now. I may as well. 10 million followers. Look at that, 10 million followers. Insane, insane, insane. All right, Satya Nadella is the chairman and CEO of Microsoft. You see he posted over here 3 weeks ago. I did not leave a comment on his post, so I'm gonna make sure to drop a quick comment on his post. If you're interested in these influencers, if you want the list of influencers, just write influencers in the chat. Excited to see the GitHub models being introduced. Okay, now let's go to LinkedIn real quick and just to see who has been commenting on this video right here that I'm here live. So I'm here live on this video right now. I'm gonna give myself a like. Might as well give myself a like over here. It looks like Ariana Huffington posted 7 hours ago. What do parents need most? For sure, mental health support. For sure. Probably more than health, more than like anything else. Mental health support for sure. It's crucial that we prioritize mental health for parents. 100%, 100,000%. I don't know if you guys agree with that, but let me go to my profile real quick over here and then take a look at my recent posts and then scroll Scroll down here just to see if anybody commented.
