Find someone new to connect to. (2 minutes)
You could even stretch to two people.
Try using an advanced search in LinkedIn (here) to narrow by company, location, industry, or search through a connection’s connections, and I recommend you personalise your request with a short note.
2 a day =
60 a month =
720 new connections in a year.
I recommend you personalise your connection request to let the person know the reason you want to connect.
Even on a mobile phone, you can hit the [More...] button next to the connect button, to personalise your connection invite.
Never pitch your services in a connection request. You don't know this person, and they don't know you.
Always follow up after your connection request is accepted. A simple message to thank them for connecting and perhaps asking an open-ended question gives the momentum for a dialogue to begin. Don't pitch or sell to them.
You can send a voice or video message after connecting to add that extra personal touch - this is currently only available on the mobile app, but it's virtually guaranteed to be listened to. It will be appreciated simply because most people don't even think of doing this. You, of course, are different.
