Part 2/2
1. Give a recommendation to receive one. The system is
set up so return recommendations are easy to write.
2.
When you connect with someone; don’t leave the generic connection request line
– be original and creative.
3. If
you want to connect with someone without having to say how you know them,
connect with them on mobile or in the search page.
4. Be
authentic and clever in your profile. You want to stand out. I.E.
"I help savvy marketers" ….everyone wants to be considered savvy, so
they'll read on.
5. You
don't have to be perfect from the start. You can hide profile updates
just like you would if you ended a relationship on Facebook and didn't want the
whole world to comment and “like” on the mini feed.
6.
Find peoples’ profiles you like, and model your own after the one’s you like
best. You don't need to re-invent the wheel, and there are no copyrights
on anyone's profiles.
7. Get
to 500 genuine connections as fast as you can, and you’ll show up as having
500+ connections. This makes you more valuable for others to connect with
you because when you “like” their posts it’s shown to all your connections as
well so greatly increases their exposure.
