How I Turned LinkedIn Into a Social Selling Machine Using AI

It started with a Craigslist ad and zero clue what I was doing.

I stumbled into affiliate marketing. That led to building WordPress sites. Then SEO. Then I accidentally found myself running an agency.

But everything changed when I started using LinkedIn not just to connect, but to sell. In this episode of Founders’ Future, I chat with Ammar Elm and dive deep into my journey from early experiments in affiliate marketing to building an AI-powered platform helping B2B teams maximize sales through LinkedIn.

And that’s what led to Luminetics.

We turned what I knew into an AI-powered platform that helps B2B teams turn LinkedIn into a pipeline machine. Think tools like Lumi Post Writer, on-demand content prompts, and a full enablement system that scales what works fast.

The old way of doing social selling is dead. Spray-and-pray DMs. Cold connect requests. It’s lazy, and buyers are over it.

What works now? Relevance. Speed. Personalization. That’s where AI fits in, making it easier to show up the right way, every day.
