Hello Andrew,

I=E2=80=99m going to everythin= g I can to get the word out but I don=E2=80=99t want to lose focus on the t= hing I love, building companies.

It seems like the most f= air use case for connecting in the first place. Was it possible with Linked= In? Not for less than thousands of dollars of InMail credits or ads.=C2=A0<= /span>

Yo= ur Network Should Be Yours

Think about it this way: back in the day, our network was literally a= rolodex=E2=80=94a collection of business cards we owned, sitting on our de= sk. When we changed jobs, we'd try to take it with us (if we could grab= it before the boss confiscated it).

LinkedIn has become our modern rolodex, but they're actin= g like that old sales manager who wants to take it away from you. Instead o= f outright confiscation, they want to charge you rent:

    =

  • Pay to verify your identity with a driver's license

  • Pay for InMails to reach people

  • Pa= y for premium features to access "your" network

I don't like paying = for things I believe are mine.

All it takes is a few simple steps, and you can email your entire Lin= kedIn network through whatever email platform you choose.

What I'm Building

As I write this, I'm prepar= ing to walk through this exact process with members of my book presale club= . I've even created a Clay template to make it easier.

I'm considering turning this into a= more comprehensive mini-course where I record my screen and document the e= ntire process step-by-step. But I'm a "dirty coin-operated salespe= rson"=E2=80=94I only build what people actually want/will pay me for.<= /span>

Here= 's the deal: If you w= ant me to create this LinkedIn-to-email course, reply with the word "L= inkedIn." It will only be for folks that pre-order the book (or have a= lready done so) so let me know if this would be helpful.=C2=A0

If only three people respond, I won= 't build it. But if we get healthy interest, I'll absolutely create= something valuable for you.

An Interesting Shift

This whole experience of trying to sell the book has bee= n fascinating for me. It's the first time in my sales career that I'= ;m selling business-to-consumer rather than business-to-business. Having an= audience to serve, rather than just a few prospects at an organization, fe= els completely different.

But the fundamentals remain the same: understand what people want, build= something valuable, and make it easy for them to get it.

Your LinkedIn network represents years o= f relationship-building. Don't let a platform hold it hostage.
