Subscribe now at: www.youtube.co... Welcome to How NOT To Use Linkedin To Find Voice Over Work. When it comes to LinkedIn for voice artists, how not to use LinkedIn is important. These are the best LinkedIn tips for voice over when it comes to how to find voice acting clients.
Now you've got a robust list of targeted leads.
Congratulations! Great job. And, yes, you do have to reach out to them. And this is where most voice actors will take the next seemingly logical step and reach out to those folks with a connection request manually and painstakingly, one by one, on LinkedIn. That's where you're doing it wrong. You could reach out to connect with leads on LinkedIn.
And yes, there is some usefulness in that. But not everyone is active on LinkedIn. At the time of this video, LinkedIn user statistics show 722 million active users, but only 310 million, or about 43% use the platform even on a monthly basis. And only 40% of those, about 124 million people worldwide use the platform on a daily basis.
Only about one in six people on average are active daily LinkedIn users. And finally, you can only request up to 100 connections per week. Up until 2021, it was 100 per day, now it's 100 per week. So while connecting on LinkedIn does provide a touchpoint, it's not a timely and reliable way to consistently get in front of likely decision-makers who will hire voice actors.
And when it comes to getting in front of your prospects, consistency is key.

I find your channel to be incredibly valuable. Your videos should be ranking higher. Great job Mr. Paul!

@vo-pro Год назад

Thanks, Darnley. They rank higher with each like and subscription. I don't worry about that. I just keep trying to put in the work and make great videos. I really appreciate your support, Darnley.

@TrayDyer38 Год назад

I’m so glad you that you discussed this, as I found my self waisting my time doing the very exact thing you just discussed. I was finding likely decision makers, on LinkedIn, but I knew better than to try and connect with them because I know it’s not a reliable because of inactivity by users. So I went down the rabbit holes of googling and trying to find their email. I did find a few, however it was not effective nor scalable and knew that I was waisting my time, and knew their had to be a more efficient and reliable website to find emails. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Dustin! I’ll put it on the list.

Great work here Paul! I remember speaking to you about 4 months ago about starting my marketing plans; and I'm glad to say LinkedIn and Hunter have been the pillars my teacher taught me with. And, they've been doing their jobs. Keep it up!

I'm curious to hear your thoughts... You may choose 5 locations in the "open to work" for remote work a profile. With so much buzz on P2P's already, which markets would you speculate would be most beneficial? I think it's safe to say NYC, LA, etc., have enough of a talent pool in the locale as it is. Thanks!

@vo-pro 7 месяцев назад

My personal opinion is that it doesn’t matter which five markets you choose, that functionality isn’t going to move the needle one bit.

@sheilakerwin9415 2 года назад

This is a really effective, succinct video, Paul! Your practical, data-driven message is completely consistent with what you convey in the VO Freedom Master Plan course about the most strategic ways to seek voice over work. Thanks for these vital tips!

@vo-pro 2 года назад

Thanks for the kind compliment, Sheila. You're so engaged with the program and doing the work every day. It's a pleasure and honor to have you in our community.

Excellent info on LinkedIn...I have to be honest - I used to absolutely HATE the platform. I'm MUCH more comfy on IG since my brain leans to the creative side. But over the past year I've learned to love it, especially because it brought with it some of the best people I've ever met. Also, nice shirt! I've got one just like it ;) Will you be at the BBQ in October?

@vo-pro 2 года назад

Rho, nothing makes me happier than to hear people challenge themselves, get out of their comfort zones, and learn something new. LinkedIn is fantastic for many things, including growing relationships. And yes, I'll be at Uncle Roy's in October. If we don't cross paths before then, we'll have to there!

@Poelie Год назад

I am definitely interested in how to optimise my LinkedIn profile for VoiceOfPeter. PS is a second account possible?

@vo-pro Год назад

A second LinkedIn account is not a good idea. LinkedIn frowns upon this. Optimize what you have. You own your LinkedIn profile, your employer doesn’t.

@PaulVinger 2 года назад

Paul, another great video, thank you… informative, motivating, and thought-provoking. The question this provokes is, what IS an effective and scalable way to market using a combination of LinkedIn and email? Perhaps this is a subject for another video… or do you reserve this discussion for your marketing plan?

@vo-pro 2 года назад

Thanks for the watch and the question, Paul. We get very in depth on the process and best practices for this in the VO Freedom Master Plan.

@PaulVinger 2 года назад

@@vo-pro Thank you for the reply, Paul. I'm mid-process on two efforts. When finished, I'd like to chat about your next Master Plan round.

@vo-pro 2 года назад

@@PaulVinger Looking forward to chatting, Paul. The program is now asynchronous, meaning you can enroll at any time, pending a strategy call with me to make sure you're a good fit.

@PaulVinger 2 года назад

@@vo-pro I'll look forward to that, too. Thanks, Paul.

@Penelope416 2 года назад

I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question but do you ever reach out to potential prospects/clients using only their work/corporate email or do you use their personal emails as well? There are some apps similar to Hunter that will show someone's personal and work email.

@vo-pro 2 года назад

Hey Penelope, I don't use personal emails. Too intrusive. I always try to find their professional email.

@joywest1078 Год назад

Hi Paul, I found this video you did recently recently and I'm a LinkedIn user but I think I could be a better user. I hope that part makes sense. I am a writer in my profile but I want to let the world know that I am also a Voice Artist who is trying to get noticed for the purpose of getting clients is there a way I can add it as my second business or skill? Thanks in advance ☺️ 😘!

@vo-pro Год назад

Yep. You can add it to your headline, e.g. Writer | Voice Actor and as you would a job under Experience.
