1. Prepare a List of Popular LinkedIn Posts
You are still in the preparation part. In order to find some posts related to your activity or niche, make a simple search on LinkedIn. Type a keyword linked to your product or service. In this case, let’s say you own a coffee shop. You then look for coffee. Make sure to filter the results, so as to get posts containing your keyword.
Now it’s just a matter of choosing the post with the most likes and comments. It goes without saying that the post should be related to your business (not just someone using the word coffee as a metaphor).
Once you have identified your targeted posts, follow the author of the post. If it’s a group, join it, in order to be able to access its members’ profiles. Then copy the URL of the post and paste it in a Google spreadsheet. Keep this document close to you, as PhoneBot will need it to execute your task.
2. Configure Your PhoneBot to Scrape Profiles of Post Likers and Commenters on LinkedIn

2.2 Configure the “Scrape LinkedIn Post Likers and Commenters’ Profiles” Task on PhoneBot
Once you have downloaded, installed, and correctly activated the PhoneBot software on your computer, you need to create a campaign and configure the desired task.
- On the PhoneBot dashboard, create a campaign and name it.
You can pick any name you want. Remember that a campaign is composed of one or several tasks.
- Then choose the desired task. In this case, select “LinkedIn Post Likers and Commenters” under Scraping.
Another way to access the task is by using the left menu. There you will find all the tasks sorted by categories and platforms.
Make sure to choose the right task. If you accidentally click on the wrong one, you can unselect it at any time.
THE TARGETS
Provide PhoneBot with the Google spreadsheet containing the targeted posts’ URLs. We have previously seen how to find popular LinkedIn posts using the LinkedIn search tool. All you need to do is copy and paste the URL of your spreadsheet in the corresponding field.
ENABLE TASK AND CAMPAIGN
Once you’ve pasted the Google spreadsheet URL, do not forget to save your configuration and enable your task.
Then, enable your campaign on the Campaigns page.
EXPORT DATA
The scraped data can be downloaded as a CSV (comma-separated value) file once the task has been executed.
For further details on data exporting, keep on reading.
3. Run PhoneBot to Scrape Profiles of Post Likers and Commenters on LinkedIn
To execute the campaigns, you need to use the PhoneBot software already installed on your computer.
You can run your tasks from any of the first two tabs of the PhoneBot software (see image below). The first tab enables you to execute your whole campaign, which is to say, all the tasks configured in a particular campaign; whereas the second tab allows you to execute one specific task from a campaign. Make sure to choose the right campaign and the desired device. Then just click on “Run”.
For further and more detailed information on the campaign and task execution, please refer to this detailed tutorial.
4. Export Your Results
Once the task has been executed, you can retrieve all the information of the likers and commenters of your targeted posts. To do so, just go to the Campaigns page on your dashboard and click on “See results” for the particular campaign.
You will land on a page where the results are sorted by categories (Cold Messaging, Influencers, Scraping, Authority, Freelancer) and tasks. Look for the right category (Scraping) and task (LinkedIn Post Likers and Commenters). Then just click on CSV to download your file.
You can also export your results from the PhoneBot software. To do so, just launch PhoneBot and click on the “See Report/Synchronize” button, below the Run section.
This will open on your browser the results page displayed above. Look for the category and the task, and click on CSV.
