 Alright, so in this video I want to talk about what I believe is the most powerful sales funnel to use right now and that is the LinkedIn plus YouTube sales funnel. So I'll talk about what it is, how it works, how to start doing this for yourself and why I think this is such a powerful sales funnel to use for this year and beyond. Now if you're new to this channel or if this is the second or more video you're watching I have something called the Gentleman's Agreement which means if you've watched two or more videos all I ask is that you just hit the subscribe button because these videos are free for you to watch it's not free for me to create takes a lot of time and energy for me to come up with ideas and shoot these videos and to share things that are working for me in real time on this channel. So if you've watched two or more videos and you're getting value out of this make sure you hit the like and subscribe button that would help me out in a huge way. So let's dive right into this what is the LinkedIn plus YouTube sales funnel? How does it work? Why would you want to use it and who should use it? So I'm just going to break down how this funnel works and I'm going to walk through the steps with you and what I use each of the channels for and then you can make a decision by the end of this video whether this is right for you and your situation. So YouTube is not only I wouldn't call it a social media platform I would call it a search engine and so the way that it works is you go to YouTube and it's an education or problem-based platform meaning someone has a problem or they're looking to learn something and they go into the search bar and they type in a very specific term or phrase like how to get email marketing clients or how to send an email that sells or how to do research with chat GPT. So when someone goes to YouTube there is high intent they know exactly what they want and they're searching for a solution. So I use YouTube as a search engine I create videos just like this around topics and keywords that my market is asking for and there's no other platform like YouTube because YouTube my videos can live for years and years and years and people can still watch them on my channel. So YouTube in itself is a sales person a sales funnel so someone can go to my channel this happens quite a bit where they go to my channel they watch one video and then they end up watching five ten twenty videos in one sitting and there's really no other platform like this that's like YouTube where you can have evergreen content that just lives for years and years and years. So that's the way that I use YouTube and there's also something to be said about watching someone and hearing them on video there's a different type of connection there. So YouTube the way that I do it is I post videos that are answers to questions or objections or things that my market is searching for that they want help with and each video like right now I've tested the highly produced videos I've tested the unedited videos that are shot in one take like this video and like the one you're seeing on screen and these are working way better in terms of getting clients in sales. So the other thing cool about YouTube is you can use the description section to link to whatever you want so right now I'm linking to this is actually another YouTube video here and I'm also just linking to my social media channels on my email list by the way if you like videos and tips like this I send out a daily email with more tips like this so go to this this link right here if you want to opt into my email list. So that is the YouTube portion that's what I use it for it's kind of like a salesperson that just lives and lives and lives and I don't want to pay the salesperson because all I do is put the videos on this channel. LinkedIn is the most powerful platform in my opinion for finding and connecting with your ideal clients. So with with LinkedIn you can go to the search bar and you can search for let's say a coach or consultant you can type it into here you can filter based on location and company size if you're using sales navigator you can filter based on certain keywords in their profile and so there's no other platform like LinkedIn where you can target the exact person that you're looking for and send them a connection message to connect with them and be connected on this this platform so they can see your content you see their content and you can send messages back and forth so there's no other platform like this where you can search to that specific criteria. So I use LinkedIn as a platform for finding and reaching out and connecting to my ideal clients. I also use it as a springboard into my YouTube channel so the LinkedIn profile by itself by the way is like a sales page or a landing page you can see it as a headline it tells people what I do it has some call to actions and it has some links for things that you can watch and consume and sign up for but what I want to show you here is the way that I use this to send people to my YouTube sales funnel so this is my activity feed if you go here and go to posts you'll see me doing this uh twice or so a week and so I posted this yesterday uh one to two days ago and it says would you be interested in a one sentence email that makes it rain if you have an email list if you sell something higher ticket and you want a one sentence email that gets a ton of interest to folks to reach out check out this video this links to my YouTube channel and so you can see here I linked to the video this goes to this video here and so I'm using LinkedIn to target my ideal clients to connect with them and once I'm connected they see my content and once they see my content they get sent back to my YouTube channel once they get sent back to my YouTube channel they watch one video then what they might do next is click to my channel and say that was that was cool that was useful what else does he have here and I have 205 videos on my channel so YouTube best salesperson on earth because someone can go down and watch all of my content by the time they reach out to me even if it's a high ticket offer they're already pre sold on me and what I do LinkedIn is extremely powerful for finding and reaching out to your ideal clients so that you can build your network and send people over to your YouTube channel and also publish content on your on your LinkedIn profile as well so that is the LinkedIn plus YouTube sales funnel pretty simple if you want to see this live in action just follow me on LinkedIn or connect with me on LinkedIn and also subscribe to the YouTube channel so you can see videos just like this so if you need my LinkedIn profile link just go to the description on my videos and it should be right here but I hope that was useful give this video a like if it was let me know in the comments what questions you have and also let me know what you think about content like this I'm going a lot more direct and just showing you the heat and dropping all this tactical knowledge that you can go and take action with so if you like stuff like this that just gets straight to the point let me know in the comments so I can make more just like this but other than that it's going to wrap up this video and I'll see you in the next one take it easy
