First Milestone: $5k/mo using the newsletter alone

👋 Hey Ultrapeople, it’s Vaibhav.

In the last Ultraupdate, I told you about:

  • The Path to $5K: 100 Days Left

  • Ad Performance Update

  • Infrastructure Updates

In Today’s Issue:

  • Linkedin Deep Diving

Linkedin Deep Diving

I realised the core of b2b audience is at Linkedin.

Since my my audience is businesses I need to be hanging out on Linkedin more than anywhere else.

As a social media reddit is my natural habitat to hangout. Its where I’m social.

But to lookout for partnerships and sponsorships I am planning to focus on Linkedin.

Even though I had done my first cross promo with MarketersGems through reddit, and practically there’s been hardly any success from linkedin (and even twitter) but I feel its relevant for structured outreach.

That’s why I’m diving deep into Linkedin, particularly with thought leader ads for growth, as it worked pretty well for cognism and helping them scale to $25M.

Also, Linkedin Helper for leads - this software is a beast. Nothing in the market is close to this.

Why it completely mimics human behaviour, create lead lists, sends upto messages per day, and only costs $40/per acc/ per month.

I have started testing with a single account to see how well it works, but if it works well, I’m planning to get 3-4 more. I purchased a single account to test as well.

In addition to attaching on Linkedin helper, I am planning to utilise the free ad credits we get from Linkedin so I instantly get the ROI from each account.

Venture capitalists are like dating apps – they swipe left on 99% of what they see, but when they swipe right, they're ready to commit everything.
