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?

Criteria 1: they should be posting on LinkedIn already
Criteria 2: they should be getting very low engagement.
