How To Build Your LinkedIn Network

If you add just the people you know already on LinkedIn, chances are you won't get much beyond 100 connections. 

We believe that you should expand your network to its maximum. The further your reach, the greater exposure you have to opportunities and spreading your messages. 

You have to be careful about adding the right people as if too many people press, "I don't know this person" then the LinkedIn people will delete your profile with no warning. You'll then have to start all over again. 

You want to get to 500 connections as quickly as possible and then be more strategic about who you add. 

Action points in order to get to 100% profile completion are as follows:

1) Import your current connections
2) In groups search 'TopLinked'. Request to join the group.

When you have been accepted (takes about a week) then you'll be able to download a csv file. You can then invite people and they will accept you with no questions asked.

Having a large network means that you'll be able to connect with more people through 2nd and 3rd degree connections.

You can still be successful by only connecting with people you know; it's just a little tougher in the long run.

"LinkedIn requires you to write in first person and I'm just not good at that - excuse the pun! Your team have somehow managed to show off my personality whilst being professional at the same time. It’s great!"
Stephen Brook, Trainer, Uxbridge
"After doing some research into the importance of LinkedIn and how you can surreptitiously work your way into a company by directly contacting hiring managers, I realised why I needed a first class profile page. It's not possible to just copy and paste your CV in and therefore I felt it better to enlist some professional help. Having had my CV done by you guys a couple of years back, there was certainly nobody better to write my LinkedIn profile than you. Fabulous job. Very many thanks."
Sheena Darner, Engineer, France
"LinkedIn is only going to get bigger which means you have to stand out on it. You made me stand out. I just got offered new work which simply HAS to be down to your writers and the information on your e-course – thank you!"
