5 Common LinkedIn Mistakes (and how you can fix them)
I’m always on the hunt for relevant info and I loved this - one of the best articles I’ve seen on this topic for a while. Here are a few paragraphs as a taster.
Misuse of LinkedIn can be very costly, challenging, and aggravating. And I don’t mean that in good way either! So, here are a few things that I wanted to point out to you from personal experience. These are some of the most common mistakes that I tend to run across on LinkedIn daily. They are in no particular order of importance or occurrence.
#1 Connection Request Malpractices
There is a vast majority of LinkedIn users that proactively use the network for open networking purposes. I completely get that. Although in that case I firmly believe that you should make that clearly known. Especially to avoid any misconceptions by your new connections. That is one problematic aspect of sending bland connection request to complete strangers.
#2 Outline Your Messaging
This is quite similar to one of the bullets mentioned above. A vast majority of LinkedIn users tend to come across as extremely bland. You have to realize that LinkedIn is a business network with business focus in mind. A few simple mistakes can literally cost you a new relationship and a piece of business. Relevance plays a key factor when it comes to messaging on LinkedIn.
