How NOT To Use Linkedin To Find Voice Over Work


Listen Later

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.
