How do I use Outreach?

Outreach watches influencers and groups your audience already follows, picks out people who have recently shown interest in what you help with, and brings the ones who say yes into your community. Your part is a few minutes a day approving comments.

Updated 18 October 2026

A comment is never posted in your name until you approve it. The like, the connection request and the welcome email go by themselves, through your own LinkedIn account and your community, so the people you reach hear from you rather than from a tool.
First: you need desktop Chrome Outreach runs through a one-time Chrome extension, which only works on desktop Chrome. You can't start it on a phone or an iPad.

  1. Create a community first

    Outreach stops here until a community exists: it finds people by matching against who your community is for, and it brings the ones who accept into it. About two minutes of work.

  2. Pick the influencers and groups to watch

    Name a few accounts your audience already pays attention to, and a few groups where they post. People who react to their posts about your topic are who Outreach looks at first. It also searches LinkedIn every Monday for recent posts about what your community helps with.

    Two things to fill in: people your audience follows, and where they post.

Can I use Outreach on Instagram or X?

No. Today Outreach works on LinkedIn only, through your own account.

Do I need a LinkedIn account to use Replicants?

No. Almost everything works without LinkedIn: your community, Courses, Products, Subscribers and email, Funnels and Website. Only Outreach needs it, because it finds people on LinkedIn and connects with them from your own profile.

Do my new connections get a welcome email automatically?

Yes. If you use Outreach, every new connection gets a welcome email by itself, as soon as we have their email address. No LinkedIn welcome message is sent to anyone today, so the email does that job. One screen shows you both, in about two minutes.
