168. Ever thought of using LinkedIn Ads? Me neither, until now... featuring Anthony Blatner

Imagine posting an ad that doesn’t scream “I’m an ad!”

With LinkedIn’s new ‘Thought Leader Ads’ for the first time you can turn any of your posts from your profile into an ad that will show up in the regular feed
and it'll end up looking pretty much like a normal post.

These ads will let you (or anyone on your team) showcase posts from your personal profile in front of the right audience that’s perfect for you.

And by amplifying the voices of your team members (or your own):

you can set your business apart from all the rest,
you can provide your unique perspective
and you can establish your team as leaders in your field.

If that peaks your curiosity, then listen up because LinkedIn Ads superstar, Anthony Blatner came on to break down exactly who Thought Leader Ads are for - and how you can start running successful ad campaigns that showcase you and your team & make sure your message is getting to the right people that you want to reach.

We spend a lot of energy, a lot of time, and as we grow older, a lot of money trying to fit in.
Whether it's the clothes we buy the car we drive, the job we try and go for where we're trying to basically be part of the group.

We're trying to blend in to get by.
We're trying to blend in so that we feel safe and we feel comfortable.

And if you're in business for yourself, it's absolutely the wrong thing to be thinking about. It's the worst place to be putting all your energy into.

"There's no such thing as fitting in. Life is a pair of skinny jeans, and you are a big fat ass." Comedian Tom Papa
