Welcome to Do This Not That, the podcast for marketers.

You'll walk away from each episode with actionable tips you can test immediately.

You'll hear from the best minds in marketing who will share

tactics, quick wins, and pitfalls to avoid. We'll also dig into life, pop culture, and the chaos

that is our everyday. I'm Jay Schwettleson. Let's do this, not that.

We are back for Ask Us Anything from the Do This Not That podcast presented by Marigold.

This is our short episode where all week long we get in questions.

We get in work questions and we get in really ridiculous questions.

And we try to tackle one of each and it'll be awesome if you submitted a question.

All you got to do is go to jshwedelson.com.

You click podcast and then you click Ask Us Anything and you could submit anything you got.

So let's jump into it.

Let's do our work question first.

We got a question in from Alex from Boulder, Colorado. Man, is Colorado amazing.

It is so beautiful, although I know everybody loves like lots of snow. I'm not a big snow dude,

but Colorado's great. All right. Anyway, Alex, what is your question? Jay, I'm starting to get

something really annoying on LinkedIn, and I'm wondering if it works or what's going on here.

I'm getting these two-time DMs from people that I'm connected to, meaning I get a message from somebody I'm connected to that I really don't even remember who they are.

And they're promoting their product or service.

And then a few days later, I get a second DM that says, hey, did you see that message I sent you?

Is this actually working?

Well, this is an interesting topic.
