What happens when you get 6000 Connections on LinkedIn?

What happens when you get 6000 Connections on LinkedIn?

Absolutely nothing! ?? Whaaaaat? something should happen, right?

Well, nothing actually happens to your profile, but with 6000 connections you certainly get more visibility and chances to build meaningful relationships with many people who could possibly influence your professional career.

Keep in mind there is a difference between “connections” and “relationships”; once you?make a connection?the goal is to build a foundation for a meaningful relationship. So, while there is no change to your LinkedIn profile or the number of contacts displayed (aka. it will display 500 as the max number), what happens when you reach 6000 or above is that you open yourself up to even more opportunities through the people you are now connected with. For instance, you increase your ability to access the hidden job market, find a mentor, or identify the right person to assist with your next business project. You should take advantage of the potential that is right in front of you!

Frankly speaking, I have been connecting with random people just to get to the first 5000's connection. As you might know, when growing your LinkedIn contacts, you should be building relationships with influential individuals and developing mutually beneficial associations which?provide value. Well, you also?strengthen your network?each time you make a connection and every time a new link is made between two nodes. When you bring two people together through your networks, you aren’t just helping those two people, but also everyone who is a part of their?spheres of influence.

Now, let's look at some lessons learned from this fast-phased connectivity marathon that I have been a part of for the last couple of months. I will highlight a couple of important things that I learned while building connections:

  • Currently, there is a 30K cap on connections you could get, so keep going ??????
  • Be strategic with your time on LinkedIn ????
  • Break the ice and publish your article(s) ??
  • Share interesting posts and leave comments ??
  • Make your posts visible by adding a relevant illustration and/or emojis ??????
  • Celebrate achievements and encourage your friends to be their best ??

That said, I hope to hit back with another post, and give a little break before bragging about the 10K connections milestone. Stay safe and keep moving forward... ????

Update: I have reached 16K connections/followers and slightly updated the article. Please, feel free to let me know your feedback below.

LinkedIn brings people together.

There is a Cap on the number of connections 30K. I have several connections that have reached that number. There is no limit to the number of people who can "Follow."
