"Do I need to be technical to set this up?"
Not really. OpenClaw's setup wizard handles configuration through conversation. The hardest part is the initial install, which takes about 30 minutes if you follow the wizard step by step.
"What about API costs?"
Expect $15-30/month depending on volume. That's for Claude or GPT-4 API usage. Way less than a single SaaS subscription.
"Will this get my LinkedIn account banned?"
Not if you use a proper LinkedIn automation tool with safety features (warm-up periods, daily limits, human-like delays). This is exactly why you don't use OpenClaw directly for LinkedIn actions — it doesn't have those safety guardrails.
"Can I use this for email outreach too?"
Absolutely. The research and personalization steps are the same. Just swap the LinkedIn execution layer for an email tool. The playbook focuses on LinkedIn because that's where B2B reply rates are highest right now.
"How long until I see results?"
Most people book their first meeting within the first week of launching. The system compounds — your signal monitoring gets smarter as you refine what signals actually convert for your specific ICP.
The people booking the most meetings right now aren't the ones sending the most messages.
They're the ones who know exactly when to reach out and what to say when they do.
OpenClaw gives you the intelligence layer. A LinkedIn tool gives you the execution layer. Together, they're a system that actually works.
Stop renting 6 different tools to do what one self-hosted agent and one execution platform can do better.
