The Adventures of a Young Entrepreneur

100 LinkedIn connections within one day

It has been on my to-do list for approximately three months to do a number of changes to LinkedIn and drive additional value through it.

On Sunday Evening, I was up late finally taking action on that goal.

I always have more with Social Media I want to do, it’s just a matter of the amount of time I want to spend, what should happen in what order, and thinking through ahead of time what my goals of a campaign are going to be.

For this campaign, my goal was to see how many people I could get interested in what SMCpros has to offer within one day. I think I spent about 45 minutes planning and implementing the campaign.

Tomorrow we will know more about how the final web traffic count turned out. However, Sunday had a significant spike and I didn’t start the campaign until 10:51pm.

I can say I ended the day with 12 e-mail that I can directly attribute to this LinkedIn Campaign and 3 phone calls (one almost signed a deal valued at $1,300 with us on the spot).

I always remind people that they should not expect to break-even on their first day working with us – but even I am amazed at how often we can achieve such extraordinary results in a short amount of time.

Update: After 48 hours, I had 22 e-mails and 3 phone calls all asking to meet with me to talk about what we do.

What would you like to see on my blog?

It has been too long since I have updated my blog. And it is definitely time to change that. There are many things I can write about and enjoy writing about. But you are the reader, not me. What would you like see on my blog?

- Social Media case studies?
- My Christmas Wish List?
- Personal Adventure stories?
- What’s going on in my life on a day-to-day basis?
-  Things I learn along my entrepreneurial journey?
- Viewpoints I have on political, social, economic topics?

You are the reader. I’d like to create something you would enjoy coming back to frequently. Something you would like to learn about from me.

Please comment below, e-mail me, facebook me, or somehow get a hold of me to let me know what you’d like to know about me. And I will do my best to do that.

Thanks,

Tyler Olson
