Fastest Method to Build Connections on LinkedIn For Small Business Owners, Marketers, Job Seekers, Recruiters and Consultants 

 

LinkedIn is a best tool for small business owners, marketers, job seekers, recruiters, project managers and consultants to build their audience. But everyone has to do some work to build audience around their businesses. Here is the best method that I found from web. This is the fastest method to build connections on LinkedIn. You just need to follow these 6 steps:

Step 1: 100% Profile:
Create 100% profile. Use your targeted keywords(e.g. Social Media Trainer OR eMarketing Expert etc.) as last name. Use the same keyword in your job title, description and in other information sections at least once. Do this step once and update it according to your needs.

Step 2: LinkedIn People Search:
Use LinkedIn people search and search people in your industry. Use inMails or Direct message(if they have allowed) to get introduced to them. Ask them to invite you or accept your invitation. Now use related keyword to expand your search volume. Contact at least 10 and maximum 20 people per day. Use this step on daily basis.

Step 3: LinkedIn Group Search box:
Now search your keyword in LinkedIn Group Search box and join groups related to your industry or keywords. Do not join more than 10 groups. When you join any group you will see other people’s discussions. Do comment on those discussions according to the discussion and prove (try to prove) that you are just sharing knowledge & experience. Also let people know that you are open to accept invitation. Do not spoil other people’s discussion with your no relating comment. People will not like you and also forget about invitation.

Do comment in 5 discussions per day in each group. Ask intelligent questions to engage people with you. Use this step on daily basis.

Step 4: LinkedIn Updates Search Box
Search your keyword in LinkedIn Updates Search Box and see what other people are updating about your industry or keyword. Like their updates and comment your expert opinion. Also ask intelligent question to engage people with you. Use this step daily.

Step 5: Respond people QUICKLY
If someone commented on your status updates, comments or just sent you a direct message then respond them quickly as soon as possible because people don’t like time delay.
Use this step every time at least your first 3 months on LinkedIn

Step 6: Explore the LinkedIn as you Explore Life:
Learn LinkedIn More & More. Explore it by yourself OR go through this course at: http://Linkedin.com to save time. I strongly recommend this course to build your audience it would be your lifetime asset.

Step 7: Time Table

Create a time table for your work on LinkedIn. Invest 2 hours per day at least. Analyze ROI on daily basis.
