- Your name is important! Consider which keywords your target members will search for. Make sure your group name is clear and includes these keywords.Create a group for your industry, not your company. People are more likely to join a group when it's not simply for fans of your company.Design the group logo to fit the small standard logo size. The group logos that are displayed on profiles will actually be quite small. Don't cram lots of hard-to-read-text into the small image.
- InMail ($) lets you directly message members you're not connected to
- An introduction (free) lets you contact members who are in your 2nd degree network or 3rd degree network. If a member is within your extended network, you can contact them through connections you have in common
