I own an ecommerce website that sells digital services, I'm currently looking for potential clients, can I count on Linkedin to search in it and find potential clients ? Can I rely on it on these kind of goals ?
 
When it comes to an e-commerce website, it's beneficial to seek customers on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, although success relies on your specific product.
 
By my opinion Linkedin is more effective when trying to get attention to group of people that are tied to specific business case.

You wouldn't call a site that sells digital services to be "ecommerce". Ecommerce is usually D2C products. This is more like a B2B product.

Then yes, LinkedIn would be effective in scouting for potential customers. Make a profile for what kind of people your potential customers would be and start searching. Sales Navigator might help too.
 
If your target is businesses or professional people then yes you can use LinkedIn
 
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, these will be your usual haunts for looking for clients. On the side of hiring people who are qualified, that's when you'll want to refer to LinkedIn.

Yes but what niche are you trying?
On linkedin, everything is about job and related to that.
 
I have no experience in organic outreach on LinkedIn however I know that paid ads tend to perform very well, depending on your margins. Note however that LinkedIn ads is quite expensive compared to other social networks like Meta or search ads :)

Really depends on the target persona. LinkedIn Sales Navigator works well but its quite expensive.

You can also go the route of finding potential clients from lusha or zoominfo.

LinkedIn is super reliable for getting corporate level businesses..
 
I think it's possible to get clients at Linkedin
But you have to drive content to the pages, and replenish your contacts as much as possible
 
Currently I've got 15k followers on Linkedin (IT industry) and don't see absolutely any purpose of this media. Zero clients / partnerships / jobs. Only some shi... pitches/messages - I don't even bother reading them any more.

how did you get those 15K? are they quality?
 
As mentioned above, it all depends on the niche. The platform is good for finding employees. If you have a unique approach, then it will not be difficult to attract buyers
 
Let me tell you best option is Facebook groups try to find those sell their your product you will get great clients their
 
Who are your buyers? What is your buyer persona?
Are they businesses, companies and corporates.
Then you can try selling them.
Also remember you gotta be presenting yourself as a startup, or some sorta company or business.
That makes you and and buyer b2b.
If you are a studio or agency selling digital marketing, seo, webdesign forget about it.
Go for Google ads or facebook.
 
If your target is businesses or professional people then yes you can use LinkedIn
 
I have an ecommerce site as well and find very little from LinkedIn, it is for older, professionals I feel I don't put a ton of time into it anymore. I tried for a while, but didn't get much from it so have moved on to other platforms.
