LinkedIn follow-up videos

Short answer: Yibily makes a LinkedIn-ready personal video for each connection you want to follow up with. Each one opens with their name in your voice and their website on screen, then plays your message. You send each video yourself from LinkedIn. Yibily never logs in to LinkedIn or sends anything for you.

When you use it

After you accept or send a connection request and want to start a real conversation, not a pitch.
After meeting someone at an event who you then connected with on LinkedIn.
After a comment thread or a post where the two of you have already exchanged ideas.
After a referral or an introduction made on LinkedIn.
To reconnect with a past colleague, client or classmate you already know.
To thank someone for a recommendation, an introduction or a helpful conversation.

What you get for each connection

A LinkedIn version of the video, sized to upload quickly and play inside the message. It opens on a cover with their name and their website.
A personal video page and a cover image, if you prefer to share a link instead of uploading the video.
An end screen with your booking link, so they know the next step.

How to send it so it plays in the message

Open the conversation with the person on LinkedIn, on your phone or your computer.
Add the video with the photo and video button, not the paperclip. The paperclip sends it as a file to download. The photo and video button lets it play right in the chat.
Write one or two lines of your own above it, and put your booking link in the text, since a video inside a LinkedIn message cannot open a link by itself.

What it is not

Not LinkedIn automation. Yibily does not connect to your LinkedIn account, send connection requests, or send messages. LinkedIn's User Agreement does not allow automation tools, and you keep full control of every message.
Not for cold mass messaging. Send it to people you have met, been introduced to, or already talked with.

Frequently asked questions

Does Yibily connect to my LinkedIn account?

No. Yibily never asks for your LinkedIn login and never sends messages or connection requests. You download each video and send it yourself.

Will the video play inside the LinkedIn message?

Yes, when you add it with the photo and video button in the LinkedIn app or on desktop. If you use the paperclip, it arrives as a file to download instead.

Can the video send them to my booking page?

Not on its own. A video inside a LinkedIn message cannot open a link. Put your booking link in the text of your message. The end screen also shows the link.

Can I send a video with a connection request?

Send it after they accept, in the message thread. It works best once you are connected and have a reason to talk.

How many can I send?

As many as your plan includes. Each one should go to a person you have a real reason to contact, sent by you, one at a time.
