Today I talk with digital marketing consultant Dave Delaney (FutureForth.com) about the power of LinkedIn strategies for comedians and speakers.
The Nashville Business Journal calls him a “power leader of technology in Nashville”. He is the recipient of the prestigious Digital Media Champion AIM Award by the American Marketing Association in Nashville.
So … he gets it. Fortunately for us, we can pick his brain and try to absorb some of that knowledge.
We cover a lot of ground, specifically we talk about:
- LinkedIn Strategies for leveraging our “connections”
- Making sure our profile is “keyword rich”
- Why SEO is important even on LinkedIn
- One aspect of LInkedIN we probably aren’t tapping into
- Using SLIDESHARE to get videos onto LInkedIN
- Creating mini e-books
- Ways to ask for recommendations
- How to leave a recommendation
- Search tips including how to reach decision makers
- Using Gumroad to accept money for products
- Advanced search options
- Exporting our connections (including their emails) for marketing
- Using a CRM like Contactually to help organize “buckets” of leads
- Judd Apatow’s book “Sick in the head” and Dave’s article that summarizes it
and much, much more. If you are in need of LinkedIn Strategies then this is the episode yo’v been waiting for! Grab a pen, paper and headphones and listen in!
