Achieving 500+ Connections on LinkedIn Is Eating Grapes.
It's not a miracle, you can achieve it.
If you are a professional but don't have a profile on LinkedIn, then you are yet 100 years back.
Being a professional person, you can't imagine a life without the LinkedIn community. Your profession could be content writing, graphic designing, blockchain development, etc.
People use this miraculous platform to find their dream job, project, and even dream friend. But if you cry on an open field where no one is listening to you. Then either you should stop making noise, or you should remake a crowdy environment so that people listen to your cries. I mean, you should have to grow your LinkedIn profile to get more opportunities.
Before eating a grape, you achieve 500+ connections on LinkedIn with these simple steps.
I am sure that you hear LinkedIn is a professional platform. So don't put your itsy-bitsy thought there. Don't post memes or selfies; post only plain text. Are they not too old school these? These all are myths!
Memes and Selfies.
People don't like plain text. That is why modern school books are prints with colorful pictures. Yaa, I also agree that you should not post itsy-bitsy thoughts there.
Memes- Memes aren't memes; they are your marketing team.
You can share memes and selfies with well entertaining and valuable text. If you are actively using LinkedIn, you have noticed that LinkedIn has added the "HaHa" emoji because they realized its importance.
Selfies - you-are-your-own model to represent your brand. Whenever you go to share life experiences, personal thoughts, or daily life activities, you can share a beautiful selfie instead of specific images because your audience loves it when they look at you. And it creates an emotional bond between you and your fans.
Consistency and patience is the key to success.
Yes! If you haven't enough patience, you will never eat the ripe fruit. Social media is the game of consistency and patience. LinkedIn won't help you rank top if you don't post regularly. To gain more followers, you should post regularly.
Engage with others.
Social media is like our society. So, if you don't appreciate others' thoughts, no one will want to connect with you. Engage with others, read their content, share your thoughts and try to write a unique comment.
I mean, don't write "yaa, right, amazing" instead of these writes, "I am so happy to read your wonderful post, and I really appreciate it." When you write a unique comment, people think you have really read their content and loved it.
Send a personal connection request.
Yaa, it works like fairies.
I hadn't known how to send a personalized connection request before someone sent me one. "Hey, Dilwar! I don't want to send a generic request to you because I read your recent posts. And I loved them. I hope we can learn and grow together. Thanks, Xyz."
Although he hasn't read my post or even hasn't liked it, he just visited my profile and sent that unique request. I accepted his invitation.
But what happened is that now he likes my every post and makes lovely comments. So, if you send a random request to anyone, they won't accept it because they don't know why you want to connect with them.
And that is what Ishan Sharma also told in his video.
Get first 100 followers on Medium without "Follow for Follow Approach."
Keep your post simple and short.
Personally, I don't love to read heavy posts. And it is a universal truth also. Everyone wants to eat easy peasy and sweet fruits. So you should post short content instead of putting thousands of words.
And always try to post relevant content that represents your brand. It will boost your profile and make you different from the crowd.
Don't forget to use emojis.
Everyone like emojis, and they take them as a cup of tea. It creates an instant feeling of joy, sorrow, and so on. That helps them to relate to your emotions.
That's how you can achieve your dream followers and make a personal brand.
I will be so happy if you will be my friend on LinkedIn
