Course Description
Welcome to the ultimate course on LinkedIn marketing, lead generation & advertising in 2023. Master B2B social media marketing!
I've been advertising on LinkedIn since 2011, and I have an MBA from the #1-ranked business school for marketing in the USA.
The main benefit of this course is teaching you how to use LinkedIn to get new customers. For example, I'll walk you through a case study on how one ad campaign generated a 500% return on investment. To get customers we’re going to use LinkedIn ads, but also account based marketing (ABM), LinkedIn Sales Navigator, your LinkedIn company page, and other tactics such as automating connection requests.
After this course, you’ll be able to acquire new customers using LinkedIn efficiency by using the top, middle, and bottom of the marketing funnel. You’ll be able to put together a LinkedIn customer-acquisition plan.
I'll talk about LinkedIn ads of various types with different objectives. The key to cost-effectvie lead generation and customer acquisition is mapping out the entire funnel, not just short-term lead generation.
The major sections of this LinkedIn marketing course are:
BOFU (Bottom of Funnel): generating short-term revenue
MOFU (Middle of Funnel): tactics such as product education & nurturing that will enhance BOFU
TOFU (Top of Funnel): generating broad awareness and problem education to provide the basis for subsequent revenue generation
I'll talk about the details of LinkedIn campaigns I worked on and provide 3rd-party case studies. I'll give you tutorials, strategies, and tactics to pull everything together.
This is a more structured approach to LinkedIn marketing than my previous courses which focused on jumping straight into tutorials.
This course is for people in B2B marketing and potentially those in outbound sales and business development.
Let’s get started!

Really understand the practical ways on how to use and not use certain features/filter combinations and what we should learn from each results metric to help adapt ads.
By Melaina Brown on 11/30/2022
I really enjoyed the first half of this course. It helped me confirm the set up of my ads and helped me troubleshoot a couple of issues. I was also able to put together better ad copy and chose a creative type.

Not bad, but missing details on how to do some of the things explained (ex: retargeting)

The course is not that lengthy so a one day is enough to learn from this course. The instructor is obviously knowledgeable about the course he is teaching. Kudos, Mr. Fraser!

It's definitely what I was looking for to get started with Linkedin Ads. I knew the very basics and this is taking my knowledge to the next level. So far so good.

This is the second LinkedIn course I have taken from Dekker. He has deep knowledge about LinkedIn Ads for sure. I learned a lot from his course. In addition, his course is very efficient and practical. What's more, he answers questions quickly and is patient and thorough. He never leaves the questions unanswered. I have been following Dekker and get inspired by his tips shared from time to time on YouTube and LinkedIn. Dekker is a great instructor on Udemy that I am following.
