Attracting Investors on LinkedIn with Yakov Smart

Generating leads online has become increasingly important with in-person events, all but shelved during COVID. For multifamily investors and business owners, social media is a great outlet for attracting investors. And while most people turn to Facebook, another platform might be even more powerful for raising capital. Yakov Smart says LinkedIn is the platform real estate investors should leverage to attract investors.

 

LinkedIn is designed for professionals seeking connections and makes it easy to identify potential prospects. It is a powerful tool that still has strong organic reach, meaning your content can be seen by many of your connections. And you can leverage the search functionality to identify ideal investors – such as doctors or private equity groups. And unlike other platforms, you don’t have to build a massive following or post multiple times per day to consistently generate leads.

 

Yakov Smart is an expert at using LinkedIn to raise capital and attract investors and authored the book, Disrupting LinkedIn. In this episode, Yakov shares how to use LinkedIn to identify and connect with high-networth investors. In addition, he highlights how to engage on the platform without creating content, key insights on LinkedIn’s algorithm, and how to optimize your profile to attract clients.
