Build Your Connections on LinkedIn With These 5 Tips.

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.

THIS ARTICLE IS GOING TO ADDRESS HOW TO PROACTIVELY BUILD YOUR PERSONAL CONNECTIONS. 

Setting up your LinkedIn profile and connecting with your work colleagues, family and friends is just the beginning of your connection activity on LinkedIn. Once you have nailed those connections; you can progress to the connections that may sit slightly further afield by following the following steps.

REGULARLY REVIEW AND CONNECT WITH ‘PEOPLE YOU MAY KNOW’.

OK, this is your low hanging fruit. Click on the ‘My Network’ at the top of your LinkedIn page. It is here that LinkedIn serves you up literally hundreds of suggestions based on your current connections and profile inputs. You can simply scroll through these suggestions and ‘Connect’ with those you know already or who may look like a good connection to have.

CONDUCT A SEARCH FOR RELEVANT CONNECTIONS.

Right at the top of your LinkedIn Page sits a little search bar. If you click into that, a drop down menu will appear. Click on ‘People’. Underneath this bar will then appear another bar with some filters – navigate to the right of this and click on ‘All Filters’. You now have several filters to search for potential connections.

This feature works best when you invest in the ‘Premium’ option as the free version of LinkedIn will only reveal a limited number of results before asking you to upgrade. 

Pretty valuable stuff, I’m sure you’ll agree! Why not check out the whole article here and share your thoughts with me afterwards: call on 0411 686 071 or email me at [email protected]
