5 Important LinkedIn Practices You Might Be Missing

With over a billion people on LinkedIn, creating a strong first impression is a must. To make this happen, you'll need a specific approach.

While many are already aware of basic best practices like personalising connection requests, today’s article will highlight 5 often-overlooked strategies that yield significant results.

#1: Engage Thoughtfully with Content

Engaging with posts by liking, commenting, and sharing content that resonates with you can build relationships and increase your visibility.

Thoughtful engagement especially by commenting demonstrates your interest and expertise, making you a valuable connection.

#2: Showcase Your Work

Take advantage of LinkedIn’s features section to showcase your work.

Share articles, presentations, and projects you’ve completed.

This not only demonstrates your capabilities but also adds value to your profile, making it more attractive to potential connections and employers.

#3: Give and Request Recommendations

Providing recommendations to your colleagues and requesting them in return can significantly improve your credibility.

Recommendations serve as testimonials to your skills and work ethic, making your profile more appealing.

#4: Respect Others’ Privacy

Avoid sending unsolicited messages or making inappropriate comments.

Always maintain a professional tone and ensure that your interactions are respectful and courteous.

#5: Follow Up Professionally

After connecting with someone, follow up professionally.

Send a thank-you message or share relevant content.

Building a relationship takes time and effort and following up shows that you value the connection.
