LinkedIn prospecting is the daily habit of finding the right people on LinkedIn, getting connected, and turning a few of those connections into real conversations that lead to customers. The process below is the one Andy Milligan runs in about 35 minutes a morning: build a target list, connect with a small batch every day, comment with intent, welcome new connections, and start conversations that have a reason behind them.
Andy runs a solo marketing studio in Columbus that brings in roughly $20,000 to $30,000 a month, and he records his outreach on camera so other marketers can see the unglamorous parts. This playbook breaks down one of those sessions, from the first connection request to the email that moves a warm contact toward a call. If you want the posting side of LinkedIn first, start with the guide on how to get clients on LinkedIn.
Who this LinkedIn prospecting playbook is for
This is for freelancers, consultants, and small agency owners who sell services to a defined type of buyer and want a steady, repeatable way to start conversations without paying for ads. It works best when you already know who you serve. Andy's studio serves B2B healthcare, so every step below is filtered through that one audience.
The outcome: a daily routine of about 35 minutes that keeps new people entering your network, keeps warm people from going cold, and produces a handful of real conversations each week.
Prerequisites:
- A defined ideal customer profile (ICP): industry, job titles, and location
- A LinkedIn profile that explains what you do in one line, plus some posting history
- A simple CRM or spreadsheet with stages for new, contacted, in conversation, and meeting booked
- One reason to reach out that helps the other person, such as a podcast invitation, an event, or an introduction
Why LinkedIn prospecting still works
LinkedIn has more than 1 billion members in more than 200 countries and regions, according to LinkedIn's own figures. The size is not the point. The point is that your buyers are there, logged in, and reachable without a cold phone call.
Relevance is what separates prospecting from spam. In a June 2025 Gartner survey of 632 B2B buyers, 73% said they actively avoid suppliers who send irrelevant outreach. Every step in this playbook is designed to keep your outreach relevant to one audience.
Andy's own reaction to inactive profiles explains why posting matters too. "Imagine having a LinkedIn profile and not posting. What a missed opportunity," he says while looking for recent posts to comment on. If you are building that side of the habit, the guide to LinkedIn post ideas covers what to publish.
The LinkedIn prospecting process: 8 steps
Step 1: Build your ICP list once
Time: about 1 hour to set up, then 10 minutes a week (estimate).
Andy keeps an ICP spreadsheet that describes the people he wants to reach: job titles, career stage, and industry, all inside B2B healthcare. Everything else in the routine pulls from that list, so build it before you send a single request.
Keep it narrow. A list of 200 people who fit your offer is more useful than 2,000 who might.
Pitfall: accepting every incoming request. Andy declines connection requests that are clearly outside his market, including people from other countries engaging with posts that are hyperlocal to Ohio. A clean network keeps your feed and your notifications useful.
Step 2: Send about 30 targeted connection requests a day
Time: about 10 minutes (estimate).
Andy sends 30 new connection requests a day to people who match his healthcare ICP (3:35). In the session he uses an AI agent to send them in the background.
We do not recommend copying that part. LinkedIn's help center prohibits browser extensions and software that automate activity on its site, and automating invitations can put your account at risk. Keep Andy's cadence and send the requests by hand.
Thirty a day is enough to keep your network growing without turning the routine into a chore. Andy counts these requests toward his daily target of 100 actions, an idea he credits to the Rule of 100.
Pitfall: sending connection requests in bulk to anyone with a relevant title. Volume without fit is exactly the irrelevant outreach buyers say they avoid.
Step 3: Set notifications on the people you want to stay close to
Time: 2 minutes per person, once.
Instead of scrolling the feed, Andy turns on post notifications for specific people: prospects in his pipeline, potential clients, potential podcast guests, and friends he wants to support (4:06). When they post, he gets notified and can comment while the post is fresh.
He is honest about how easy it is to slip. A few minutes later he catches himself: "I literally just did what I said I wasn't going to do and started scrolling." Notifications are the fix. They turn commenting into a list you work through, not a feed you wander.
Step 4: Comment with intent on your pipeline and Dream 100
Time: 10 to 15 minutes (estimate).
Andy works from his CRM, not the feed. He opens his sales pipeline and comments on recent posts from people who have expressed interest in his services, because it keeps those relationships warm. He does the same for his podcast Dream 100 list: open each profile, find the most recent posts, and comment.
Two details make this work:
- Comment on their own posts, not their reposts. Andy skips reposted content and looks for something the person actually wrote.
- Reply to comments on your own posts. People who engage with you are already warm.
The payoff shows up quickly. In the session, people start replying to his comments. "This is why we do this stuff, guys. Start conversations and have conversations like humans," he says.
Step 5: Welcome every new connection
Time: 5 to 10 minutes (estimate).
This is the step most people skip. Andy opens the connections tab, looks at who recently accepted his request, and sends a short, friendly note to each person who fits his market. Most of his messages are some version of "Glad we connected" and "How are you?"
There is no pitch in these messages. The goal is to turn a silent connection into a two-way relationship, so the next message you send is not the first one they have read from you.
Pitfall: welcoming everyone the same way when you know something specific about them. When Andy knows the person, he adds a line about their work or a shared interest.
Step 6: Start a conversation that has a reason
Time: 3 to 5 minutes per message (estimate).
The messages that move people toward a meeting are the ones with a clear, helpful reason. In this session Andy uses three:
- A podcast invitation. He hosts Marketing by Design and invites prospects and peers to be guests.
- An event invitation. He invites contacts to an in-person gathering of about 20 to 30 marketers, CMOs, and agency folks, and offers to make introductions.
- A welcome to Columbus. When someone is new to the city, he reaches out to welcome them and offers to connect them with people.
His advice on tone: "Be more laidback in your messaging. That is important. That's what's going to make you stand out in other ridiculous emails from people who aren't putting time, energy, or thought into it whatsoever." For more on structuring these first messages, see the guide to social selling and the one on LinkedIn outreach that gets replies.
Step 7: Switch to email when LinkedIn is closed
Time: 5 minutes (estimate).
Some people turn off connection requests. Andy's response is practical: find their email and reach out there (13:15). He uses the same laid-back tone, explains who he is, and gives the person a way to check that he is legitimate, such as a link to his podcast page.
Email also works for warm contacts who are worth more than a short DM. In the session, Andy emails a contact to thank him for speaking highly of the studio to a team that later became a customer, and then invites him onto the podcast (31:39). Gratitude first, ask second.
Step 8: Log every conversation and follow up
Time: 5 minutes at the end of the session (estimate).
Andy moves people through stages in his CRM and notes that many promising podcast guests are "stuck up here on the followup and outreach stages." The lesson he draws is that he needs to do a better job of nurturing those relationships and getting them down the funnel.
Write down the next step for every active conversation before you close LinkedIn. When the conversation stalls, use a process for how to follow up with leads rather than letting it fade.

Podcast guest invitation (DM)
Hope your fall is going fantastic! I'm reaching out because we're sourcing guests for our next season of the podcast ([podcast name]), and we're looking to host a guest in [specialty] with experience in [industry]. The show is fairly established ([episode count] episodes over [years]). If this is something you have interest or bandwidth for, I'd love to chat further. Either way, continue doing what you do!
New connection welcome
Hey [name], glad we connected! How is your week going?
Event invitation
We're hosting [event] on [date]. There will be about [number] other marketers, CMOs, and agency folks there. I'd love to make some introductions for you, and it's a great chance to reconnect.
Thank-you and ask (email)
I wanted to reach out for a few reasons. One: thank you for the kind words you shared with [client] a while back. They became customers and everything has gone really well. Two: I'd love to have you on [podcast] if you're game. Let me know if that sounds interesting and I'll send over next steps.
Daily LinkedIn prospecting checklist
- [ ] Send about 30 connection requests by hand to people on your ICP list
- [ ] Check notifications and comment on 5 to 10 posts from prospects and your Dream 100
- [ ] Reply to every comment on your own posts
- [ ] Welcome everyone who accepted your request since yesterday
- [ ] Send 2 to 3 messages that include a clear, helpful reason
- [ ] Email anyone who has connection requests turned off
- [ ] Log every conversation and its next step in your CRM
- [ ] Stop at about 35 minutes
Mistakes to avoid
- Automating invitations or messages. LinkedIn prohibits automation tools, and it is the fastest way to lose the account you are building.
- Scrolling instead of working a list. Notifications and a CRM keep the session focused.
- Pitching in the first message. Lead with a welcome, a comment, or an invitation.
- Commenting on reposts. Engage with what the person actually wrote.
- Letting warm contacts sit. Andy names this as his own gap. Follow up on a schedule.
- Ignoring your profile and posts. Prospects check your profile after you reach out. Give them something to find.
How the Columbus community fits into prospecting
LinkedIn prospecting works faster when your network overlaps with your local one. Many of Andy's warmest messages in this session are invitations to in-person events and introductions to other Columbus marketers, which give people a reason to reply that has nothing to do with buying.
Columbus Marketing Organization is a peer community for marketers, freelancers, and service providers in Columbus, Ohio, founded by Andy Milligan. Members share leads, introductions, and job opportunities, including the weekly Columbus Marketing Jobs newsletter. You can meet people in person at the next Columbus marketing event and keep the conversation going in the Columbus marketing community.
Start your LinkedIn prospecting routine this week
LinkedIn prospecting is not about sending more messages. It is about showing up for the same small group of people every day until a few of them want to talk. Build your list, send about 30 requests by hand, comment with intent, welcome new connections, and give every message a reason.
If you want peers to compare notes with while you build the habit, join the Columbus Marketing Organization community on Skool.
This is why we do this stuff, guys. Start conversations and have conversations like humans.
Frequently asked questions
How many LinkedIn connection requests should I send a day?
Andy Milligan sends about 30 a day to people who match his ideal customer profile. That keeps his network growing without making the routine a chore. Send them by hand: LinkedIn's help center prohibits software that automates activity on the site, and automating invitations can put your account at risk.
What should I say after someone accepts my connection request?
Keep it short and skip the pitch. Andy sends notes like 'Glad we connected, how is your week going?' to new connections who fit his market. The goal is a two-way relationship, so your next message is not the first one they have read from you.
What is the difference between LinkedIn prospecting and LinkedIn outreach?
Prospecting is the full routine of finding the right people, connecting, commenting, and keeping them warm. Outreach is the messages you send within that routine. Good prospecting makes outreach easier, because by the time you send a real message, the person already recognizes your name.
What if someone has connection requests turned off?
Switch channels. When a prospect has disabled connection requests, Andy finds their email and reaches out there in the same relaxed tone, with a link that shows he is legitimate, such as his podcast page. Do not keep trying to force the LinkedIn connection.
How long should a daily LinkedIn prospecting session take?
About 35 minutes. That is roughly where Andy ends his outreach in the session this playbook is based on. A fixed time box keeps prospecting consistent and stops it from turning into open-ended scrolling, which Andy admits is the easiest way to lose the session.

Kind: captions Language: en Hey there, my name is Andy. I own a solo marketing business that does around 20 to 30K per month. Um, in its lifetime, it's done just over under 400. And welcome to my daily marketing channel. This is where I build and strategize in public and teach you what's working in live time. The format that we usually follow here is I'll do a little bit of live regen. So I take you over my shoulder and actually show you proactively how I'm growing my business, the emails that I'm sending, the highest leverage activities of my day, which is the first part of the day that I prioritize, which is this time you're currently watching right now. Then we'll build and strategize in public. So I will talk about my plans for the future. [music] Uh the high leverage activities that I plan on doing in a few days, in the coming days and weeks in order to [music] grow, remove myself from the business, and scale as an entrepreneur. And then we'll finish with some updates and growth stats across all of my YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, podcast channels, and products that I'm focused on growing in order to create this thing called awareness, which by this mechanism magically by which we track things and it creates [music] this accountability that we are focused on growing them. So, love doing that. I find it to be very helpful. So, what we're going to do is we're going to get right into some live lead genen here. I have a few follow-up emails to send. And I'm going to show you guys how I use um AI to help me manage my process a little bit. But we're going to start with our process today is going to be emails and LinkedIn connects. So there's a few things that I'm trying to drive awareness towards. One of them is sales for my web and SEO studio called MMG Design. And the other is my events uh that I'm hosting here in two under two weeks. Uh it is the 29th of October, so here in 10 days. So, I need to make sure that the pipeline is full for that, that we have a proper amount of committed individuals, and then we're going to move on to follow-ups, and then we're going to finish up with, like I said, the updates and growth stats. So, without further ado, I may time-lapse this, I may not, but I'm going to get straight into checking the email inbox, connecting on uh using some MCPs to send out our connection requests, and get into some email scripts that I can help you guys with. But let's get into it. Here we go. Use our little friend quad here to go into log back in. [music] Select all photos with [music] cars. Wow, that would be difficult seeing as we literally can't see anything this photo. But yes, that will seem to be the case. All right. So, what we normally do here is we will use quad to reference our ICP spreadsheet as you can see in this bottom preview here and send a set amount of connects every single day uh to [music] those uh to people like that folk to people like those um like that demographic. So it'll scan like their job titles, career, industry. Obviously we do work B2B healthcare. Um so it will automate the sending of connection requests [music] which I find to be good because it's a very manual process and it wouldn't take me realistically a lot of time anyway. But it's just good to kind of have those cooking in the background [music] um while I can do, you know, higher leverage activities like sending actual messages and not get caught in the weeds of doing [music] small things like basically repeatingly pressing a connection button [music] over and over and over. So, we're going to have it do this. And [music] we go. Please send 30 more connect request to health care ICPS, please. Boom. So, while that is rocking and rolling, we're going to get on our LinkedIn comments. So, I've sent two emails already this morning inviting um some of our friends [music] to the event we have upcoming here. So, go to our daily actions. We got to get to 100 today. Whether that's through content, outreach, etc. Shout out to Alex Wozi's rule of 100. Um while that's cooking, that'll count for 30 of our LinkedIn connect requests. But I'm going to go ahead and go to my notifications. A little tip for you is to set notifications on the people whose post that you want to comment on. And I usually find this to be a good thing to do. You can also have AI set this setting to be on for the people that are in your pipeline or you want to make sure that you're being proactive um [music] in sales conversations with or who just would be potential clients of yours. Um but I and also your friends in order to just to support. So I try and comment on Allison's every day. I have several people in here that I try and check in on on a normal basis. So, [music] for example, I'm just going to go through here. Also, for potential podcast guests, it's a great um a great thing to do. So, without further ado, I find it's a better thing better to proactively have those comments set rather than just mindlessly scrolling through the feed. and um and al also obviously [music] responding to comments on your own post as well. [snorts] Nikos this week. It's like a killer event. Hey, two comments. Nathan, my guy. Clapping emoji. This guy's awesome. Shout out to Nathan. All right, I literally just did what I said I wasn't going to do and started scrolling. What we can also do is I have a CRM where I can go to sales pipeline and I can comment on people who have expressed interest in our services. So I can go and that just keeps us warm. What I should do is just start from a frame of reference like podcast dream 100 [music] go to these LinkedIn profiles and then comment on all the most recent posts [music] Atlanta. AMA to the moon. [music] Clapping emoji. I feel like a nice person now. Great. Last [music] comment is this guy's a G legend as well. want to comment on one of his actual posts and not something that he reposted, which looks like he does a lot. [music] I'm just going to like because if you don't post your own post, it's kind of hard to check in on you. A recent [music] post. Fantastic. Imagine having a LinkedIn profile and not posting. What a missed opportunity. Huge freaking missed opportunity. This to me is just like the importance of good Wi-Fi. By the way, [music] like bouncing between all these tabs is you have like a slight lag in Wi-Fi connection or just bandwidth, it ends up taking exponentially longer given all of the times you open a new tab. So, shout out to the Wi-Fi here at Cohatatch. So helpful [sighs] [music] PR pro. Did I ever invite her on the podcast? been loving following on you here and [music] wanted to reach out. Hope your fall is off to a great start. Exclamation point. Yeah. Hope your fall is going fantastic. Exclamation point. I'm We're reaching out. I'm reaching out because we're sourcing guests for our next season of the podcast, parenthesis, [music] marketing by design, parenthesis, and we're looking to have some folks in we're looking to host a guest in PR that has experience in healthcare PR. The show is fairly established quote parenthesis 180 episodes over three years and top 100 marketing podcasts. And if this is something that you have interest or bandwidth for, I'd love to chat further. Smile face [music] emoji. Either way, continue doing what you do. Exclamation point. [music] She dude, that's such a killer. This is why open graph images are important, guys. If you see a link like that, that looks so much more credible than just a URL. Oh, golly. [music] Um, so yeah, that is important. Let's check in on quad here. 30 new scent. Um, so let's just go to our homebased tab and track 30 here. [music] 30. Boom. Instantly up to 33 on the day. Okay, people are responding to our comments. This is why we do this stuff, guys. Start conversations and have conversations like humans. Try to follow up stage. Brian Kush, fantastic name. God, I just freaking love when people don't even turn on their connection requests. GGP. Hey, Brian, how about I just email you then? My name is Andy And who has experience in healthcare SEO? I think we share a similar audience and would love to make a killer piece of content together and get the opportunity to connect. Period. Love the business that you've built and I'm [music] building similar also. Period. Hey man. Hey Brian. Yes. You can check out the podcast landing page below so you can tell I'm not talking out of my ass. Lol. Just let me know. Ka would love to have you. Good. [music] Be more laidback in your messaging. That is important. That's what's going to make you stand out in other ridiculous emails from people who aren't putting time, energy, or thought into it whatsoever. [music] It is abundantly clear. It's not working. Not a very thoughtful comment there, but you know, could have done better. Another hack for engagement is to go to your connections tab here, see who's recently accepted your connection request, and then introduce yourself. How are you? Aina. [music] Awena's Enterprise. Bro, that is not an ICP. Happy Monday. Glad we connected, man. What's up, Megan? Excavation point. What's up, Brian? Exclamation point, bro. Was that Prince What's up, Lisa? Excavation point. Glad we connected. Hey Lauren, exclamation point. Glad we connected. How has this fall? How is your fall going? [music] Bro, that was like not great. What's up, Ava? Es point. How are you? Glad we connected. Period. Glad [music] we are gradually. and eager and exclamation point. Glad we connected. Hey Shab. [music] Wow. Glad we connected, man. Comma, how are you? Push mark. Okay, so um rather than screaming LinkedIn here and finding anything that we haven't connected with yet, I would love to meet up also, dude. I'm probably going to be flying out the day before and then hopefully staying I've heard that a lot of the quote unquote good stuff happens um happens in like some of the private events, meetups, etc. period. Do you are there any that you frequent or would recommend? question mark. That sounds [music] weird. Good stuff. Sure. So sorry to hear that, brother. I will do my due diligence to be on the lookout and we'll certainly reach out if the potential to collaborate arises. [music] food. In the meantime, do keep doing outreach, reaching out to everyone here locally and [music] set up in person or Zoom meetings, etc., just to expand your network. Period. Please keep in touch and keep me posted on how it end, how your progress goes in the next few weeks come. I know it's a stressful time. That's weird. I love when people from other countries engage on a post that's hyper local to Ohio. Sorry guys, if you're from another country, I'm just not accepting your LinkedIn connection request. Apologies if that makes me a bad person. All righty. Yeah, let's discard We have very similar senses of humor and personalities. I can tell my face emoji. Shout out Natie. Awesome. Have a great week, Natalie. Exclamation point. Looking forward to cing up catching up soon. brother is so James McDermott. There will be about 20 to 30 other marketers, CMOs and agency folks there.

[music] Obviously thrilled to have you here and [snorts] I would love to make some connections and introductions for you as well. Good. [snorts] brother. I hate how when I open a new LinkedIn tab, it always does a notification that's old. Okay, I think that's a good foundation for outreach already. Let me check the CRM. I need to really focus on getting these podcast dream 100 through follow up actually. [ __ ] it. Let me email this guy. Cheese. What's up, cool brother? Mission point. I hope your week is off to a fantastic start. Period. I wanted to reach out for a few reasons. One, period.

They ended up becoming customers and a few months ago and everything has [music] gone incredibly well. Period. Thank you for speaking highly of us and I can't say thank you enough. Good two. I would love to have you on our podcast if you're game for it. exclamation point. We have a marketing podcast called Marketing by Design and we're sourcing guests for next season. [music] Good. We aren't quite the size of the awesome brand that you guys have built, lol. But it is high quality. [music] 17 180 plus episodes over three years. and [music] we focus on healthcare marketing period. I'd love to chat about what you've done to grow AJ HCS and have a great conversation about your career and what you see coming for healthcare. Period. [music] [sighs] https www. ww.mmg.studio/mpodcast. Let me know if that sounds interesting and I'll keep you posted on next steps. Period. Thank you for all you do and keep being a boss, my friend. Commission point. Cheers. Loop in my assistant to help coordinate onboarding. Good. Send over booking/nextsteps. H A HCS [sighs and gasps] Good vibes in that email. That's the kind that we're happy to send. Okay, so we have outreached [music] him. Shane Harris, welcome to the show. No, don't want to accept my connection request. All right, dude. [music] All right. What time are we at? We're about 35 minutes. I think I'll cut the outreach here. I have a lot of updates and growth stats [music] that I want to share. So, a few of them is I've started a new Instagram page. Um, I started this last night and I've been putting together a workflow in TA to really splice apart [music] our YouTube videos and uh put them into clips. And by the way, man, Tela has a claw integration [music] to where now it has become remarkably more user friendly to take these Q&As's that I do and chop them into question and answer segments. [music] And essentially what I've done is I have taken the full episode and I literally prompt in the right side box. I give it a reference video. It creates a whole style guide, cutting, um, cutting instructions, background animations, all this stuff. And all I do is go in and lightly refine everything. And it does a fairly good job. Like I'm only spending, you know, 30 or 40 seconds or so per video. As you can see, like from that long form, [music] um, here's the long form 20 plus minute version of it. It created eight 11 different shorts from all these. and all I did was some light editing. So, it did a pretty incredible job. And um I'm pretty bullish on uh doing this now. Like the way that they turned out, you can even see it has like these background animations. It has an entrance animation on the text. Um [music] it'll zoom in and it does different positions and layouts here. As you'll see, [music] has like the the background that pops in behind. It'll zoom in and out. Has the captions. That's probably four or five minutes of me editing. And then I can uh use the mo I can use a desktop app to post and collaborate. I also started a few different channels. I have a Columbus marketing organization um and my main channel right here um which is this one. And um Roa is already posting daily podcast clips to this channel which I think anything that I'm just seeing it over and over again. Anything that's not natively published from Instagram is just gets absolutely tanked engagement, [music] which is really unfortunate to be honest with you, but that's just kind of how the the game works. Um, so yeah, focused on doing that and growing that. Also adding every post to my stories, which gets like double the engagement for such a simple hack. Also changed my uh tag to Andy_milligan just to keep that um segmented. Here's the Columbus marketing channel. I'm going to start doing daily clips from the long form Q&As's and eventually just funnel this directly either to the newsletter or to the community and that'll be like my my full funnel is really coming into the shape. Um, also I've been working on the outline for this thing that I'm calling marketing school. So, I want to have a low an entrylevel product that is incredibly high value to people who are looking for a job or want to get their first freelance customer. And the promise of it is going to be if you do this in 90 days, if you do all the actions, it's going to walk you through your positioning, getting set up on LinkedIn, how to do proper outreach, like all the hours of footage that I have on this channel. Like literally, you [music] know, 60 50 plus videos of me talking through how to do this stuff, um, how to get leads, how to, you know, position yourself, put into a CRM, you know, cold email, LinkedIn, all this stuff. And at the end of that 90 days, if you go through every single day of the road map, you will have I literally have it broken down in every single day. And I'm going in and recording a video of what you need to do every single day. Like literally a dayby-day blueprint to once you have your positioning set, you can literally get your first either job offer in marketing or your first marketing freelance c customer. [music] And I'm going to record a video for every single day literally holding your hand and walking you through step by step. And I also thought about like what if I were to just [music] prove it in live time to you? What if I were to do this with you and get a marketing job offer and get a LinkedIn a customer from LinkedIn or cold email whatever? And that would just deny that would just overcome all customer objections to show that I can literally do this and I can help you do it as well. So this is a deep part of focus. I've really been focusing on week one and making sure that there's the overview, getting a script together and trying not to overthink it too much. So, [music] I'm using Quad to help format it, but obviously I've gone in and written everything. So, that's something I'm excited on. I've also been following very closely [music] this guy named Greg Lveki. I really studying him as an entrepreneur. Uh he's the you don't know who Greg Lav is, he's the co-founder of uh Bloom, which is this energy drink company, which I'm honestly not that big of a fan of, but he has inspired me a lot just these past couple days. Listen to a lot of his podcast this weekend. Um and he's a very inspirational entrepreneur. He's got a really good YouTube channel and the way that he speaks just very eloquent. And he's only 30 30 31 years old. So obviously he's got crazy physique too which helps and I'm getting there as well. But really inspires me, hypes me up. Very positive character as well. And I'm learning to um learning to become more like this guy every single day because I think if we were all a little bit more like this guy, we could all be a bit better for ourselves. So [music] all that being said, I want to go in and track brand stats as we close out this video. Uh 30-day growth. [music] Check out the second channel is at 63 subs. So we got two more here. Boom. Main channel we are at 427 which I believe is the same. LinkedIn. Are we at 8K yet? I think we might have just crossed. Bro, [music] we're definitely going to get there today. 7998. Dang, I was hoping to get to 8K today. Okay. 98. Boom. Uh, Instagram are still the same. Podcast downloads. Um, I think we are shipping away there. Probably not a ton more. This Tuesday we have a really good episode with Matt Lee coming out. Uh, AJ sent us the uh clip and edit for this. Uh, and it looks pretty cool. So, I'll go in without any editing. But, he's done really good about using motion graphics. And I'll probably down edit these a little bit in the future cuz it's kind of a lot. But um I'm glad that we have we finally have a solid editor on boarded and it's going to take a little bit off my plate here in the coming weeks. [music] So I can literally just focus on getting this pipeline podcast pipeline through and through and not have to worry about production as much. We can start uploading once maybe twice every single week. [music] So that I am really really stoked for. We have a lot of [music] great potential guests stuck up here on the followup and outreach stages. So, I need to do a better job of nurturing those relationships and getting them down the funnel. So, yep, that is how that is going. Um, [music] podcast downloads here. Let's not get too hairrained and bouncing around. podcast downloads we are at 574573 man so growth and the newsletter I think we are nearing 260 if I'm not mistaken 260 boom sent out a new issue this morning I want to be very cautious of the open this is down because of the latest one just sent out like two hours ago but yeah might have to do a cleaning here at some point because visibility. I've also toyed around with [music] like I said I've been publishing them to uh native LinkedIn newsletters as well. Um and I thought about in the LinkedIn newsletter because those get a lot of visibility instead of posting the full thing there. We just [music] go in and um put like the first 10 jobs and say read the last read the rest at columbusmarketingjob.org [music] or Columbus marketingjob.com. Um, and then that could redirect some traffic and hopefully get some more subscribers from LinkedIn. But, you know, I'm still checking in on that. But all in all, hopefully by the end of the day, we'll be at 8K subscribers. Updates business-wise this week. We have, like I said, the event coming up next week on the 29th. Um, we have currently 20 participants so far, which is good. Uh, 16 have already opted in. need to get that maybe five or 10 more. I have really good contacts I can get that to. I have two calls this morning. One with a Web Flow agency in New York called BX Studio. That's at 11. Another one here at 10:30 in an hour [music] with Julia who is a really good contact to know locally. So, I'm looking forward to meeting her. So, those will be 10 more [music] points towards our um our daily outreach schools because meetings comp. and then meeting Julian tomorrow morning for coffee at Cohhatch Westerville. So, that'll be a great time. [music] Um, and she's a prospective event attendee for next week as well. So, I'm going to wrap it up there. Appreciate you guys watching.
