2. LinkedIn 101
Quick Facts about LinkedIn

networking site online
• LinkedIn has more than 160 million members in
200 countries
• Two new member join LinkedIn approximately
every second
• Everyone from top CEOs to President Barack
Obama has a LinkedIn account
3. What’s Your LinkedIn
Connection Strategy?
More the Merrier
BFFs Only
Selective & Strategic
7. The “More the Merrier” Approach
LinkedIn discourages
“name collecting”
networkers and can
penalize you if too many
people you try to
connect with say that
they don’t know you
8. The “More the Merrier” Approach
What’s the value of
connecting with
thousands of people
who have no
interest in what you
have to offer?
15. The “Selective, Strategic” Approach
People you already know
Your professional peers
Experts in your industry
People in your local area
Potential clients, partners, and employers
16. The “Selective, Strategic” Approach
Connect with people
you already know
and would
recommend (yes, go
ahead and connect
with those BFFs)
17. The “Selective, Strategic” Approach
Connect with your
professional peers
(hint: find them on
LinkedIn Groups and
start your
networking there)
18. The “Selective, Strategic” Approach
Connect with experts
in your industry
(again, start the
conversation first,
then connect)
19. The “Selective, Strategic” Approach
Connect with people
in your local area;
they’re often a great
source of referrals
and you can network
in person as well
22. How to Connect with People
You Don’ t Know
LinkedIn’s etiquette
for initiating a
connection with
people you don’t know
is different from other
social sites such as
Twitter and Facebook
23. How to Connect with People
You Don’ t Know
Find common ground (LinkedIn Groups,
Answers, etc.)
Ask for an introduction from someone you
both know
See if the person you want to connect with
is an open networker
Explain in your connection request who you
are and why you want to connect
