Marlana: Matthew Hunt is a serial entrepreneur, business to business sales and marketing expert coach. As the creator of several seven figure businesses, he's just getting started. His company Automation Wolf is known for helping clients generate a full month of LinkedIn content in just one hour per week. Welcome, Matthew.
Matthew: Hey! Thanks for having me.
Marlana: So, you know that I create images for clients to use in their branding. But you're gonna talk to us a little bit today about what to do with them.
Matthew: Great!
Marlana: So first of all, let me ask you this, because I know LinkedIn is your thing. Why do you think LinkedIn is so overlooked?
Matthew: I don't wanna say that this is probably a terrible essay, but I guess at a social media, it's probably the ugly, redheaded stepchild that nobody wants to pay attention to. However, if you're in b2b, it's really the greatest opportunity. In fact, anything that you care about, if you care about your career in any way, I think LinkedIn is a great opportunity. And it's even a greater opportunity due to timing. So, a lot of times when you're in social media network solver catching the wave at the right time. For example, my first agency, I caught the wave around search engine optimization and search advertising in general. So, I started way back, I started learning how to do in 2007, and started the agency in 2010, and I got to ride that wave for a good four or five years before it got a little more sophisticated. Then in 2014, I caught the Facebook one, so, there's organic, free traffic, and then there's the paid advertising, it was early, and people are still figuring out the ads, and cheaper, got the ride that wave. Then in 2017 I discovered the LinkedIn one and we're still going with the LinkedIn one. So, what's so great about LinkedIn is that it is a social media network, just like any other social network, so it has a focus of being for professionals. But what's so magical about it right now is that they have 700, 800 engaged users logging in, but only 1% of people post. So, what that means organically is there's a huge amount of eyeballs there, but not enough content inventory, and so if you just post on LinkedIn, you get a lot of reach, the challenge is with all the other social networks are so noisy. Now, it's very hard to get recognized organically, unless you already are a celebrity or a micro celebrity, or an influencer in some way already, have a following for people to pay attention to without having to pay to play. And so, in the sense of free earned organic attention and eyeballs on what you do, LinkedIn is a great place to be right now.
Marlana: And you know, one of the things that I've learned about LinkedIn is that a lot of people may see your content, but not many people necessarily. You may not know that they've seen it. And I only say that because I have had people come to me, weeks, months, whatever, after the fact and say, yes, I've been following you and love what you're posting in this net, I would have never known because they don't like it. They don't comment on it. They don't do any of these things. But they're seeing it.
Matthew: Yeah, they're secretly creeping it, and you got to remember that the algorithms
