Comment on Ask HN: Where have you found your early adoptersparent

Comments

Did you do manual outreach, do searches for conversations and jump into the comments, or something else?

Only manual outreach. It was a high-ticket, high-touch sales process. Few prospects, high effort dedicated to each sale.

For low- or mid-ticket products where a landing page is suitable to collect leads, commenting on other people's posts can attract a lot of attention.

But don't market in the comments. It's too obvious and will be flagged as spam.

Use the profile sub-title (what shows up below your name) to write something that will entice your audience to click and view your profile. When people view your comment, they'll also view this statement.

In your bio description, write about the pain you're solving. Invite people to visit a web page, read a post you published before, send you a direct message, whatever.

Connecting with your target audience is also good. Just send an invitation saying you work on the same field and you'd like to stay in touch, whatever.

The book "The LinkedIn Playbook", bu Adam Houlahan, is a good source of guidance on creating a personal brand and selling on LinkedIn.
