I never did. Yeah, I didn’t. There was always someone there. There was always someone like even Dig, like I just said, there was like Mr. Babyman, like he was the king, right? Like, but, and, uh, so LinkedIn, I didn’t get in that, like, you know. The perfect time. But I did get in, I will say at a very good time.
There’s no question.
Jared: You, you alluded to hate, uh, organic speaking, like, and again, you, you, you painted a nice picture about how it’s really not about followers. It’s about business, but circling back to getting followers, getting engagement. You said, Hey, 5, 000. That’s pretty easy to do these days and you can see where things are at brass tacks, high level.
What does getting to 5, 000 look like? I mean, I know you talked about posting consistent content, engaging in comments. Uh, what other tactics would you do if you had to get an account to 5, 000 organic and engaged, you know, followers?
Nat: Sure. Uh, I’d be hitting the connect button every single day. Right. So back in 2019, I was able to hit that button almost an unlimited amount of times per day.
But today, in my opinion, you need to be way more intentional. So if it was me, I would be trying to connect with people who are likely potential buyers of whatever it is I might be selling or like minded or people who were just really responsive, great at engagement, things like that. So today, if you’re on LinkedIn premium, you can only do a hundred a week, can only request a hundred a week.
If you’re on LinkedIn sales navigator, you can request two 50. You can hit that connect button 250 times. So that right there, let’s say by doing math, you’re reaching out to a hundred a week to connect. And let’s say 20, connect with you. What happens is those 20, They’re now in your first circle of connections, which means they will then be exposed to your content in the feed.
