I am on a mission to help people leverage LinkedIn daily and to do that you need systems and processes.?
In our LinkedIn course, Evyrgreen Networking we give our clients lots of resources, like frameworks, scripts, templates and much more.?
With our AI for LinkedIn evyAI we give you access to the most advanced tools to write content with AI, leave comments in your voice and help you reply to direct messages quickly.?
Today I want to provide you with a simple checklist you can use each day to help you leverage LinkedIn in just 15 minutes a day.?
If you do this correctly you will get MORE followers, more exposure, more connections, more credibility and that will lead to more clients if done correctly and consistently.?
Why is a checklist important?
“You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems” - Jame Clear
I am a big believer in systems and processes.?
Back in 2013 I I was quoted saying “Micro Manage the process not the people” - Joe Apfelbaum?
The way I built Ajax Union to be one of the fastest growing companies in the US was not by just by manifesting a goal but by having the right systems, strategies, processes and taking consistent action.?
It really hard to be consistent when you are doing random activity on LinkedIn.?
Begin by setting the right strategy, know your plan and what metrics to measure so you know if you are moving in the right direction.?
Get clear on your target market because if you reach out ot the wrong people, you are spending energy without strategy, which is a waste of time.?
The right strategy will save you a decade.?
If you need assistance with a strategy, im happy to help you create one for your business including messaging and all your assets.?
The checklist will not be overly complicated and it will be broken down into 3 parts, each part should take 5 minutes if you use AI to help you with your activity.
Part One: Expand Your Network
Send out 10 connection requests per day to your idea target market.?
You need to keep expanding your network each day.?
Make sure your connection note is customized and it has the right context.?
evyAI can help you customize each connection note to increase the likelihood of people actually accepting your connection request on LinkedIn.?
I have over 1000 pending connection requests, I will not accept most connection requests that come in.?
The reason you need to expand your connections is because EACH of your connections is also a follower here on LinkedIn!?
You can have up to 30,000 connections on LinkedIn and that is a HACK that most people have no idea about in the world.?
This will not be around forever, so doing this to at least 10 people a day, strategically will be a game changer for you.?
In our LinkedIn accelerator training program we discuss ways to expand your connections ever faster using hacks.
If done correctly you should add over 1000 connections each year, this might not sound like alot to some people considering that you can add 30,000 but ask yourself if you can handle 1000 new relationships with REAL people inside your target market.?
Engage on at least 5 posts in your target market
There are many ways to engage on posts but doing this daily is the key.?
Each time you leave a comment on a post, you get exposure and your expand your network.?
If you leave 5 comments each day you will find that you get more inbound connection requests.?
There are 3 ways to find posts quickly.?
First you can find posts on the LinkedIn FEED.?
This is where you log into LinkedIn and see posts that load for you based on the LinkedIn algorithm.?
I make sure to spend at least 1 minute leaving comments on the feed and with evyAI you can leave a handful of comments in just a minute.?
This will increase the activity on your profile and give you massive exposure.?
The second way to leave comments is to SAVE PROFILES strategically.?
For example, if you want to always make sure that you leave comments on my posts, use evyAI and save my profile to a LIST called Influencers.?
Put 5 to 10 influencers in your list and you will always know if those influencers post by checking their recent posts.?
Gary Vaynerchuk has over 5 million followers and leaving comments on his posts can get you a bunch of new followers and connections.?
Consider commenting on the profile of people who have a following with YOUR IDEAL TARGET MARKET.?
Do you have a list of people that you want to leave comments on daily?
The third way to leave comments strategically is by looking up hashtags in your industry and finding posts related to those hashtags.?
For example, I like looking up content on #linkedin and #chatgpt but if I was in the relocation industry I would look up posts in #logistics and #relocation and leave comments there to get more people in the industry to notice me.?
The next thing you want to do each day is check WHO LOOKED AT YOUR PROFILE.?
Why would you want to review who looked at your profile?
Often you will find potential clients that reviewed your profile but did not reach out to you.?
If you spend 2 minutes each day checking who looked at your profile and you review the last handful of profile views you will find opportunities.?
Sometimes you can message those people, sometimes you can connect with those people.?
Make sure you have the right templates ready or use evyAI to help you craft the perfect message to your profile visitors on LinkedIn.
Part Two: Build Your Influence On LinkedIn
Now that you have expanded yourself on Linkedn you should be growing a following.?
It's time to gain authority and build your influence status on LinkedIn.?
You do this by POSTING daily.?
It doesnt need to take a TON of effort to post.?

You can use evyAI to help you come up with ideas, and plan out your week in advance.?
All you need is ONE POST each day and watch what happens.?
evyAI has an incredible post writer that includes a hook on each post, main points, a call to action and the right hashtags to help you get your post out there.?
We understand what goes into the most successful posts and we draft great posts for you each time in seconds.?
No more having writers block, now it's time to have influence.?
You still should edit your posts before they go live but at least you do not have to overthink the post.?
Your grammar will be perfect, there will be no spelling mistakes and you will not waste time overthinking your posts.?
Just improve the content and improve the formatting and select an image or video that works for you.?
Sometimes I post a few times a day but I dont want a day to go by where I do not share something of value to my network.?
You can post a story, a question, a quote, a lesson, a fear you have overcome or just about your products and services and the benefit that people get.?
Giving advice on LinkedIn has been transformational for my business.?
I have built lots of authority and credibility just by sharing my voice.?
I want you to share your voice too!
Start by introducing yourself to your network.?
Then share information about who your ideal client is and what your goals are.?
You can share documents, polls, images, videos and much more.?
Next, to build clout with your network, leave a LinkedIn recommendation for a fellow connection.?
This is a powerful way to connect with a vendor, a client or a referral partner.?
What I love most about leaving recommendations is not that it's a NICE Thing to do and it's a form of giving, thats great…?
What I love most is the exposure I get to my profile by having a recommendation on someone elses profile.?
People read recommendations and visit my profile. I have left over 100 recommendations and my goal is to leave over 1000.?
I use evyAI to help me draft a well written recommendation saving me a TON of time.?
If you do not have the time to leave a recommendation ENDORSE a connection for a skill.?
Everyone that has a LinkedIn profile has listed skills that they want to rank for.?
Find someone in your network, review their skills and give a skill or two a like, takes a second but leaves an impact.
Part Three: Engage with your network and nurture your LinkedIn connections
One of the most important things that relationships need is nurturing.?
You do this by sending messages to people in your network.?
Personally, I send out birthday messages each day to people in my network.?
Should not take more than a minute or two to send out 10 birthday wishes.?
Make sure that you use evyAI to help customize the birthday wish in a unique way.?
You can also wish people happy anniversaries and congratulate them on finding a new job.?
We have all these links available for evyAI premium users in our dashboard.?
If you want to engage your connections proactively, start by THANKING your new connections for connecting with you on LinkedIn.?
I make sure to THANK EVERY SINGLE CONNECTION.?
If you have not Thanked your connections yet, START TODAY And try to send a DM to every single connection you have.?
Thank you for being my connection on LinkedIn is a powerful message!?
Even if the connection has been in your world for a long time and you never messaged them.?
Try this even for a minute a day and see how it changes your network depth.?
Thank people who engaged with your content recently.?
This is a great way to nurture your LinkedIn connections and keep them commenting.?
For some reason, LinkedIn send people who I recently messaged my posts for them to engage with.?
It's a funny thing that they more I direct message, the more visibility my posts get on LinkedIn.?
There is a connection that I have found that most people do not know about.?
If you still have time, I would recommend leaving at least three perspectives on Collaborative Articles so you can earn a TOP VOICE BADGE on LinkedIn.?
Hope you got value from this LinkedIn Daily Checklist.?
Go through it daily for at least 10 days and see how it changes the game for you.?
