What is your best marketing channel?

74
For me, it’s LinkedIn. To give your context: I have been using LinkedIn for 3 years. Fully inbound. 0 cold outreach Crossed 25K followers. I sell B2B services (I help tech startups with marketing, growth, and go-to-market) + sell digital products (The Customer Research Report). And you?

Never did any marketing, people come to me on their own . There are many people who have 1000 times more followers than me and they follow me . Every month I get a new clients and they keep on returning. Sometimes I feel it is god or my mindset that keeps them flowing. Whenever I tried to force anything for example cold emailing , Google adds or working on marketing channels it never worked. But when I leave things to flow, it really starts flowing like magic. Some angels are there who are protecting me for sure ❣️. I am actually blessed in this sense. Yeah I get most clients from LinkedIn I do not even have to look for anyone, they come to me on their own. Every week I have a new challenge and a new client with totally different from my niche 😅🙌.

@gauravdoodles why would you say the come to you?
Gaurav Kumar
@franksondors Because of my experience in the startup industry, because of referrals which they do on their own. I never asked for referrals. I am also scarce and not readily available for everyone at any price. One reason is this lots of people visit my my profile and find me on the search list. Also I feel at peace most of the time. I believe I can help anyone 🙌

@franksondors I can get any client but I m not in right location . Indian clients never go for subscriptions more than $1100 per month but US clients readily give $4000+ per month . It will easier for me if I m in the United states
Gaurav Kumar
@franksondors Also there are some followers who are passive who does not react to your post or buy your products but only few of them will buy it or engage in your posts . For example if you have 10,000 followers and even 7000 engage on your posts or try your products , u are at better place but suppose you have 300,000 followers and only 7000 is engaging or trying your product . These many followers are only active rest are passive . Bascially 10,000 is still a better bet than 300,000 followers on linkedin or any social media

@franksondors Don't remove them keep them. It will be a time-consuming process to remove passive once. Just let it be as they are.

For me, it's LinkedIn too. But I'm exploring X revently
Frank Sondors
@swapratim_roy how does it compare for you right now?
Frank Sondors
@swapratim_roy same, even if my audience is small, I'm getting zero clients, but to be honest I need to build an audience to expect something in return. The other upside is that X pays you for being a creator :)
Swapratim Roy
@franksondors I agree - it'll take substantial time to create a true audience and then perhaps clients reaching out will be possible. Since my business is b2b - it's little more tricky too. I'll keep experimenting to see the results.

for me it's X and Linkedin

To be honest never had much success in any marketing channels, Maybe I'm not that devoted, or fonts and characters do not energize me enough to continue communicating, All of my clients come from word-to-mouth I know i need to start putting more time into it

@olenabomko i provide animation services for companies , basically I specialize in making videos to help companies sell and promote their product

@olenabomko I think a LinkedIn inbound playbook would be cool. I'm interested to hear how others generate customers via LinkedIn. We're B2B SaaS...
Frank Sondors
Why LinkedIn? Clients and network or? I'm biased as I've decided 10+ years ago to build my presence on LinkedIn. I don't have time for 2 platforms.
You have great experience in using it! Would love to hear more insights

I think every answer here says LinkedIn. For me it turned out to be Reddit.

LinkedIn + SEO finally is starting to work ;)

My best marketing channel has been building relationships with other creatives, bloggers, and influencers in the industry. By connecting with people who share similar interests and passions, I can discuss our craft, learn from each other's experiences, and ultimately grow our collective followings through mutual support and collaboration.

Personally, it's LinkedIn for me too. And for my ecommerce clients, email marketing channel works the best. I have found email marketing to be a much higher conversion channel because we target right audience with right copy and right value prop.
When it comes to identifying the best marketing channel, it's all about leveraging the tools that truly streamline your efforts and bring tangible results. For me personally, the best Marketing channel is Youtube and on second number it's Instagram. I get most of the viewers and users from there only. I found AiToolsKit.ai ( Productive AI, SEO, writing, and social media management TOOLS all-in-one Free platform) very helpful for me.

LinkedIn by far, followed by Discord as a close second.
Samuel Perry
For us, content is king. SEO-optimized articles and blog posts pull in organic traffic like a magnet.
Dmitriy Pegov
Socials, sure!

I'm planning on getting excitement and feedback around my product through LinkedIn and Twitter (X) first. Right now I can afford sweat equity, this will be a good time to hear feedback and I can make adjustments until my product (B2C) is fully developed.

Before it was a word of mouth. After the relocation the situation has changed. Do not know exactly now

For me, it completely depends on the customer and industry. It's all about understanding where they are. Currently, product and co-marketing partnerships are driving the bulk of the referrals. LinkedIn is also a solid channel (organic, not paid). At my last company, Google Ads and organic search were the main drivers of converted leads.
