Week 30: Here's How to Get More LinkedIn Endorsements!

Who do you trust more:

Someone who says that they’re the bomb or someone who’s proven that they’re the bomb so well in life that people are writing reviews about them.

We always trust the latter.

Whether it be looking for a new product on Amazon, or character references when you’re hiring a growth hacker, you are always incline to find about if someone is who they say they are.

This is why LinkedIn endorsements matter.

They are a blatant trust signal that tell people who land on your profile that you’ve got what it takes to make their lives better.

However, people either:

A) forget about them completely

B) never get that many

Today, we’re here to change that, in an excerpt from a guide we a wrote awhile back, we’ll show you how you can get more LinkedIn endorsements organically, and leverage them for growth.

LinkedIn Endorsements Help You Open Conversations

We also like LinkedIn endorsements because they help open conversations.

Say, you gave someone an endorsement, and they gave you one back without saying anything. You can start the conversation by saying thanks.

This allows you to connect with people and even get the conversation started with your prospects.

How to Get More LinkedIn Endorsements Organically?

Over the course of your time on LinkedIn, you're bound to get endorsements for your skills coming in organically.

This is especially the case if you've started to grow your connections and you've collaborated with a few of them.

However, getting your endorsements to grow without doing anything to stimulate growth, won't get you very far.

This is the reason why a lot of growth hackers who are just starting out with LinkedIn resort to asking for endorsements whenever they can.

Here's how you can pull it off:

Step 1. Ask Your Friends and Colleagues

You can simply just drop down your favor during a conversation or hit them up via LinkedIn.

Don't forget to reciprocate the endorsements.

That's critical regardless of who endorses you.

Step 2. Reach Out to Your Former Clients and Connections

Your next step should be reaching out to your former connections.

This includes your old boss, people who you've done projects for, your old colleagues, and anyone you've worked with in the past.

We love this step because it also gives you a chance to reconnect with old connections and opens up many conversations.

Make sure you mention what project you were both involved in just in case they've forgotten and you want to give them an out.

However, there are rules that you have to follow.

First of all, make sure that you don't force another person to endorse you. That's a big no-no. Gently urge them to give an endorsement willingly.

Second, make sure that you don't badger them regarding the endorsement. Your connections are busy, give them at least three days before you hit them up with a follow-up message.

And lastly, which is related to Step 3, make sure you endorse them first.
