A three-person agency team signs up for a LinkedIn outreach tool advertising “$79/month, unlimited automation.” Three months later, their monthly bill is $340. Nobody lied to them, exactly.

“Hi Sarah, I came across your profile and was impressed by your background. I’d love to connect and explore potential synergies.

Here is something that does not get said enough in the LinkedIn marketing space: paid advertising on LinkedIn is expensive relative to almost every other platform. A cost per click that runs $8 to $15 is normal. B2B audience targeting with meaningful reach can easily cost $50 to $100 per day before you see any … Read more
