The Cheapest LinkedIn Outreach Flow (from scraping to dming)
Hi all! It seems like many of us are really interested in LinkedIn as a lead source. It’s a great platform, but it’s not always cheap or high-volume. The basic Sales Navigator plan starts at $99/mo, and after that, you’ll need a platform to handle your outreach, which usually adds another $50–100/mo. Even if you set everything up and it seems to be working, it’s probably just sending the same messages with a couple of variables like first and last name — which isn’t a personalized approach. In the end, you’re left with a fairly expensive system that produces generic outreach without real personalization. I spent some time working through it, and came up with a straightforward solution, which handles LI outreach at scale and will cost you around $40 to $70 for about 3k leads depending on what platform you will choose. Here's how it works step by step: 1. Connect a simple form in n8n which will help us to generate a Apollo url with filters we want without going to Apollo. 2. Use Apify to scrape leads from Apollo, then scrape their LinkedIn profile and posts. 3. Absorb the lead list and continue only with those, who have LI urls using google sheet. 4. Generate custom icebreaker via GPT model. 5. Check for duplicates in enrich a google sheet with a bunch of data including icebreakers. Feel free to check the icebreakers in my google sheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dKzEg6ryRRcavEODKgKZPmQwYXFFSQYGIldIxjPfMd4/edit?gid=0#gid=0 6. In the end you can set up an http request for Phantom Buster or whatever platform you use, which will trigger auto dms. Basically you pay around $1.2 for 1k scraped leads on Apify, some cents on open ai stuff, auto sending platform ($60/mo on average). Total costs are around ~$62 Feel free to grab blueprint below and import it to your n8n account! If you have any q's or need more details, ping me 🙌 Cheers
