This automation saved me $881.9 on LinkedIn lead gen in just 30 days
I was spending $800+ monthly on VAs to handle LinkedIn comment replies for my lead magnet giveaways.
Yesterday, I automated the entire system.
Cost? $5 to do the exact same work.
My recent posts generated 500+ comments.
Each person who commented expected my lead magnet delivered instantly.
My team was exhausted sending hundreds of DMs.
So I built a Make workflow that:
1. Automatically scans all comments on my LinkedIn posts
2. Identifies first vs. second/third degree connections
3. Sends personalized DMs with my lead magnet to first-degree connections
4. Sends connection requests + messages to others
5. Uses dynamic sleep timers to avoid LinkedIn's automation detection
