Chances are you read the title and immediately got intrigued. Don’t worry, I intend to keep my promise, but before I do, I just want to share that for the last 12 months of me being active on LinkedIn, I’ve come across a bunch of cool LinkedIn tools that have made my LinkedIn journey as frictionless as it could be.
Taking me from point A to B.
However, not all of them made it onto today’s blog post, but hopefully they will in the next.
Now enough about my solely LinkedIn journey, and let’s get into what this blog post is all about and that’s 3 of the best LinkedIn Chrome extensions every LinkedIn creator should be using.
One of the best LinkedIn Chrome extensions when it comes to sending personlised LinkedIn connection notes.
ConnectGenie’s Chrome extension allows you to generate personalized LinkedIn connection notes with a click of a button.
Here’s how it works:
It analyzes all the content a person has posted within the last 7 days and then generates you a personalized connection note that makes it seem as if you went through the trouble of researching about them even though you didn’t. This is a cool feature if you ask me.
That’s not even the cool part.
The cool thing about ConnectGenie’s Chrome extension is the fact that you can also generate connection notes based on the individual’s posts.
Now I can't give you much detail on this one because I haven't really given it a try simply because my Chrome browser doesn’t want to update.
But the thing that I can tell you about it after watching a few YouTube videos about it is that it gives you the ability to analyze other creators' metrics and top-performing posts.
This then gives you insight into what’s working for them and what’s not so that you can then implement a similar concept with your own content.
Here’s what I mean by that:
Let’s say you're in the AI space like me and you find a bunch of other AI creators that are performing way better than you.
And let’s say you analyze their content from the last 3 months and you notice a common theme which is 30 of their most viral posts were all video posts that followed a tutorial-style video.
Then I’d go and start posting tutorial-style videos.
See what I mean?
Other use cases could be studying a creator's writing style/framework.

Side Note:
I'm currently planning on building an app that makes it easier for you to capture your thoughts and ideas throughout the day.

More about that in an upcoming blog post; until then let’s focus on Authoredup.
Authoredup acts more like your LinkedIn assistant that helps you keep track of your post's performance, and most importantly categorizes your posts based on its intent.
Here’s what I mean by that:
I have 5 post types:
Growth: This content type is focused on growing my following
Thought leader: This content type allows me to remind my audience that I’m the go to guy when it comes to growing your business with AI, plus it’s how I remind my audience of my software Quixobot.com
Funnel: This content type allows me to grow my email list and YouTube channel where I can then provide value to my heart's content.
Case Study: This content type allows me to demonstrates to my ICP that I can deliver results which then leads to inbound leads.
The one thing all of these three Chrome extensions have in common is the ability to allow you to preview your posts before you publish them.
Every Monday and Thursday, you'll get practical AI tools delivered straight to your inbox with actionable advice on how you can use them to grow and automate your business.
