Guides to outreach on social platforms

What each platform's rules say, checked against its own pages, and how to write messages people want to answer. We make an outreach tool, and we say where these rules apply to it.

• Is LinkedIn automation allowed? What the rules say

  LinkedIn's rules are plainer than most tool vendors suggest. Here is what they say, what happens if you break them, and the choices that are really yours.

• LinkedIn connection limits: what LinkedIn actually says

  Most articles quote a weekly number. LinkedIn doesn't publish one. Here is what it does publish, and how to work inside limits you can't see.

• How to write a LinkedIn connection note worth accepting

  A connection note has one job: give a stranger a specific reason to say yes. A structure, worked examples and the habits that get notes ignored.

• Human-in-the-loop outreach: an approval workflow

  AI can draft faster than anyone can read. The hard part is keeping review real once the queue gets long. A workflow that holds up.

• AI outreach that sounds like you: a practical method

  Outreach reads as machine-written when it could have been sent to anyone. Voice is only part of the fix. The rest is what the model is allowed to say.

• Reddit outreach: how to take part without spamming

  On Reddit the community decides what counts as spam, and each subreddit decides differently. How to be useful first, and when not to message at all.

  Three platforms, three sets of rules, all stricter than LinkedIn in practice. What each one says, and why a public reply usually beats a cold DM.

• Do-not-contact lists for social outreach: how to run one

  A do-not-contact list is easy to start and easy to get wrong. What goes on it, how to match people across profiles, and what happens when the check fails.
