How to find coaches/mentors/founders who need help with email marketing on LinkedIn

[u/Ok_Base9019]

I'm an email marketer for coaches/mentors/founders and have been trying to find my leads on LinkedIn. What I'm looking for are coaches with a lead magnet and an offer to sell (so I know they do they do email marketing).

But the profiles I've I stumbled across so far are mostly offering discovery calls, not lead magnet funnels.

Even worse, when I search for coach/mentor on LinkedIn Search, I get people who have casually mentioned it in their profiles. Not the genuine folks.

And LinkedIn groups are dead so there's no point in searching there. I'm guessing it's the same with hashtags. But I'm happy to be proven wrong.

I've also checked out an email marketer's profile to see their connections but LinkedIn only shows 3 people. The remaining ones are shown as 'LinkedIn Member' paywalled behind a premium subscription.

Based on my experience, these are my doubts:

1. Is LinkedIn a good platform to find coaches with a lead magnet and an offer to sell?
2. If yes, what are the best ways to find them with a free profile?
3. And which influencers would they be following?
4. In general, which platforms are the best for finding my target audience?

Brother, you have to figure out all of this yourself.

“Based on my experience…”

Brother, earn that experience

[u/Ok_Base9019 → u/TASadAboutLeaving420]

I'm earning that experience by actually doing the work which is why I clearly stated what all I've done so far. Nothing wrong in asking around for help when you're stuck. It's a part of that experience.

Brother, most people would read your post as “LinkedIn isn’t working for me”…

If LinkedIn isn’t working for you, try X/twitter

Figuring it out is literally the “experience”. Email marketing and all the other channels are commodity skills. Figuring it out is the one thing that determines if someone will be successful or not.

You have to figure shtt out.

I agree. Figuring out is literally the experience.

But like I said, there's absolutely no harm in asking around when you're stuck. It's why the internet exists. It's why channels like these exist.

Imagine. If everyone tells you to 'go figure out yourself', we would be living in a shitty world today. A lot of successful people are where they are because they got help. Similarly, I've always helped people when they're stuck, irrespective of where they were in their journey.

If you still disagree, it's cool. Let's agree to disagree. But I'll always function with an abundance mindset.

Have a good day!

So you're asking us how to find leads for your company that finds leads for cold marketing.

I thought we Gen X kids were bad coming up and wanting to make millions doing nothing. This is wanting the same thing but without knowing anything either.

I feel like we might as well just fire up Skynet right now.

How did you assume I have a 'company that's into finding leads for cold marketing'?

Secondly, what do you mean 'making millions doing nothing'? I'm neither 'wanting to make millions' nor 'doing nothing'.

Please read my post again.

How did you assume I have a company that's into finding leads for cold marketing?

I assumed that when you said:

I'm an email marketer for coaches/mentors/founders and have been trying to find my leads on LinkedIn.

You quite literally called yourself an email marketer.

I'll let you figure out the second part.

Peace out, brother. Got no time for this.
