Effective LinkedIn networking involves building valuable relationships rather than posting frequently or sending generic connection requests. Engaging deeply with target connections' content through thoughtful comments helps establish intellectual rapport. Instead of generic praise, insight-driven comments can elevate your profile. Quality interactions lead to connection requests being accepted more readily. Mentioning previous engagement in connection requests also increases the likelihood of acceptance, making it essential to express value upfront in all interactions.
Forget the typical LinkedIn advice about posting three times daily and tagging everyone breathing. The most interesting people on LinkedIn don't do that.
Comment like you're already colleagues. No 'Great post!' comments, or anything that screams networking desperation.
Your LinkedIn comments become your first impression portfolio. People accept connection requests from people they recognise.
Generic connection requests get ignored because they offer nothing. So do more. Reference the specific post where you first engaged.
