Define your target audience: Don’t try to sell your grandma a skateboard. Know who your LinkedIn audience is.
Build a professional profile: No, using a selfie stick isn’t professional. Create a profile that reflects your skills and expertise.
Engage with their content: Don’t be a LinkedIn lurker. Engage with people’s content by liking, following, and leaving thoughtful comments.
Reach out with a specific goal in mind: Don’t be vague. Be clear about what you want when reaching out on LinkedIn. Are you looking for a job, a collaboration, or just trying to make friends?
Personalize your message: Try to include their name, company name and anything else from your data set. Hyper personalization is the name of the game in 2023 and beyond. How often have you seen anything like this?
Be patient: Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a LinkedIn connection. Don’t expect an immediate response.
Offer something of value: Don’t be a mooch. Offer something of value when reaching out on LinkedIn. It could be your expertise, a solution to a problem, or even a joke.
Be professional: Don’t be a LinkedIn troll. Keep your communication professional and respectful.
Build relationships: LinkedIn isn’t a one-night stand. Take the time to build meaningful relationships with people in your industry.
