LinkedIn Account set-up: In order to get the best use of this powerful software we will first go over the proper set up of your Linkedin account. It's mandatory that you have a LinkedIn Account to use this software. Setting up a Linkedin account costs nothing, and all you need is a standard free account. They may ask you to upgrade but there is no advantage to having a paid account what-so-ever. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: We do not control LinkedIn or their actions. As a result, Linked Lead Finder is not liable if your account is shut down, frozen for any reason. It is important to follow the guidelines in this manual in order to prevent having your account frozen, shut down, or tampered with. Remember: LinkedIn owns your account (not
you) and they have the rights to do with your account as they see fit. Heck, they could wake up one morning on the wrong side of the bed, and shut down EVERY users account if they wanted to. As impossible as that sounds, you just never know. If you are uncomfortable using your own account with this software, you would merely need to open up another free account with LinkedIn. If you need a LinkedIn Account generated, you can do it yourself, or you can go here to have it done for $5: http://fiverr.com/ameliorate/make-a-facebook-twitter-and-linkedin-account Make sure your profile is fully filled out and optimized before you run campaigns. Also, make sure you have existing connections to on your account before joining groups. It is beyond the scope of these instructions to show you everything to set up a Full and Complex Profile on Linkedin. If you want to learn how to do that you can go to youtube.com and watch any of the dozen or so videos on how to set up a Linkedin profile. Once your profile has been set up you will need to join the groups that represent your target market. There are hundreds of thousands of groups on Linkedin. Joining groups is fast and free. First, identify your target market who are they? are they male or female? what is their role/job description? what are their interests? what linked in groups might they be in? To search for a group that contains the people you want to target for your advertising, log into your Linkedin account and find Groups on the top navigation bar. Next, select Groups Directory from the drop down. There you will see a Search Keywords function on the top left. Type in nearly anything you can think of as far as the Target Market you want to reach. Here are a few of the common Search Terms our customers have used recently: Nutrition Forex Real Estate Realtor Health products Non Profit
Auto Database Marketing Freelancing Business Startups Entrepreneurs B2B Marketing Plumbers Bail Bonds Solar Manufacturing Carpet Cleaning Accounting Web design Affiliate Marketing Self-Employment Sales Life Coach Sales Training Wine Golf The largest groups come up at the top. Generally you will want to join the largest groups for your target market. When you find a group you want to join simply select the Join button. You can join up to 50 groups on a free account. 1. Sometimes you will see a View button. This just means you can view part of the group before you join. If you are interested in joining that group, just select view and there will be a Join Group button on the top center of the group page that pulls up. You can join up to 10 groups a
day. We suggest you join 6 or 7 a day so you appear more Natural in your activity. Some groups will accept you quickly. Others may take a couple of days or so. You will know you have been accepted by going back to Groups and selecting Your Groups from the drop down menu. At first your status will be Pending. Then that will drop off and you will have full access to the group. If they don t accept you into the group, you can do two things: 1) send a message to the group admin 2) withdraw request and resubmit it Once you have joined your groups and been accepted it is time to begin your marketing. Using the Linked Lead Finder Software: Using the LLF is simple. When you first open the Software Interface you will notice the TOOLS in the menu. Click this and you will see the Linkedin Accounts window pop up. Enter your Linkedin email address and the password for your Linkedin account into this box and click OK. Once you enter this information and select the OK button, Click tools again and then choose "save profile" to save your info in the software. The software will remember your Linkedin user/pass and will log you in automatically when you select the Load Profile option. Tab 1: Profile Optimizer
Open a.txt file(notepad) and enter in your past & present clients and save it t your desktop. Then use the "Choose File" button to load this file in the software. Enter Your keywords with a comma between each Click the green "Start Optimizing" Button Tab 2: LinkedIn Loophole Enter Your message subject. Enter Your message body Group name (case sensitive) Keyword to search members for Max messages to send Delay between messages Click the green "Start Sending Messages" Button Now, enter the Linkedin group you would like to send to. Next, enter the key word(s) you want to use to target the people within the group. For instance if you want to target owners or CEO s then you would put
CEO or Owner as your keyword. This way you would be able to send to everyone in that group that is an owner or CEO. Another example would be to select a group of Plumbing Contractors and then enter Plumber as the search term if you want to reach everyone in the group. After that select the cities you want to send to. We suggest entering 10 to 15 cities for a narrow search and 8 to 12 with a broad search as you go. Your goal should be to reach about 100 people per account per day. If you are not sure of the number of cities or would like to test your search term to see what it produces before you send (a good idea), then log into your Linkedin account, select Groups then Your Groups and then select the group from the list you want to market to. From there select the Members tab at the top and then run your search from the Search Window at the top left. Doing this before sending is a great way to figure out what search term will produce the best results for you. Set this at 20 to 90 seconds for normal running MAX MESSAGES PER DAY Keep this at 100 for normal running We have found that if you keep your Max Messages Per Day at 100 per account per day you will keep your account for the maximum amount of time. This is the threshold that will keep you Under the Radar for awhile. You may change this setting at any time. The software will remember this and will stop you from sending above this number for 24 hours. So, if you are running say 10 accounts you can set it to 1000. If you are sending to the same group the software will automatically log into the next account and continue sending to the next cities selected. While this may not seem like a lot of emails being sent we would like you to keep in mind that the response rate is huge compared to regular email marketing. You can put in a web site link just put in the http:// at the beginning of it to make it clickable. The Linked Lead Finder will remember who it has sent to. These show up as the database in the tools at the top of the Interface in the "LoopHole" tab. Many people will reply directly to your marketing messages. You can log into your inbox or into your Linkedin account and view the responses. The best way to get production from your Messages is to give them a few different ways to follow up. For instance I often put my Skype name at the bottom of the message. I get messages and calls from all over the world this way. Additionally I have found that having a Contact us form at the Web Site is a great way to get the more serious people to contact you. Of course, there are those that just Buy immediately as well.

Meaning if you request to join a group, if the moderator looks at your profile, will they want to let you in?
Will it seem like a fit, or will you seem like a "wolf" or a "shark" that wants to get into that group for prospecting. Keep that in mind as you do prospecting. Can you use this system internationally? Yes, but we don't have instructions on how to do this best as we focus on the US market. Recommended settings: Send 100 messages per day Send at interval 30-90 seconds Search connections daily Add new connections daily look at your messages daily Add a daily status Different Attraction Methods: -Lets Connect (very subtle - you can take this method, and start conversations that lead a meeting/sale.
