What's the ONE thing all people on Linkedin have in common?

THEY ARE ALL THERE TO MAKE MONEY!!!


Yes, Linkedin is a powerful tool for affiliate marketers. It lets you INSTANTLY connect with people searching for business opportunities online.

As a matter of fact, when it comes to affiliate marketing, I prefer Linkedin over Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, etc!

Considering it's a "professional" platform, I find people are much more willing to trust you than on, say, Instagram.

One is Professional, the other is seen as amateurish. Of course, I'm making no judgements myself, I am only speaking in terms of the general perception.

That said, here are 3 mistakes I commonly see affiliate marketers make on Linkedin:

1. DO NOT PITCH RIGHT AFTER YOU CONNECT
2. DO NOT FOCUS ON BULK PITCHING
3. DO NOT NEGLECT GROUPS

Ok, let me break these down real quick:

1. DO NOT PITCH RIGHT AFTER YOU CONNECT

The biggest mistake I see is people immediately going into their sales pitch as soon as they make a new connection. BIG MISTAKE!!! People love to buy but hate to be sold. People want to be warmed up. You can't just pitch people cold without building a friendship built on trust and familiarity first!


2. DO NOT FOCUS ON BULK PITCHING


The next huge No-No I often see is people focusing on quantity over quality. This is a rookie mistake. You need to go the exact opposite direction. You should use what is called the "spearhead method". In other words, instead of spreading your efforts so thin over a large number of prospects, instead concentrate ALL of your efforts into a small, targeted area (AKA. the head of a spear). Quality will destroy quantity every time. Make it very, very personal and people will do business with you.


3. DO NOT NEGLECT GROUPS

Ok, groups on Linkedin are a HUGE source of affiliate marketing connections. This is where I get a lot of my sales, business connections, blogging backlinks, etc. You should join some groups and become an active member within them. This will build trust and inevitably make you sales. I cannot tell you how much money I have made from Linkedin groups.


Now, if you listen to me and follow these 3 tips and you will kill it on Linkedin! I promise!!

Good luck my fellow affiliates! GO MAKE SOME AFFILIATE SALES!

Is Linkdin platform? I never heard of it. How does it work?

Hey Claudia, Linkedin is a social media platform for business connections. It's made specifically for networking. I would 100% recommend signing up for it if you don't have one already! Just make sure to follow me on it when you do! ;D

Great post Koda. I do like LinkedIn and it has become more user friendly in recent years. I agree on your point 1 and something I have seen a lot over the years and really is a turn off for me!
Thanks for sharing this, it has reminded me to put more effort into the groups I'm in on LinkedIn
Have a great week

Yes, I agree that tip number one is SO vital. Pitching right out of the gate is the fastest way to get blocked on linkedin. Nobody wants to get spammed.

Thanks, Tracy!

You're very welcome. And yes, using leveraging linkedin was an eye opener and game changer for me as well.
