Hey!
If you’re like most LinkedIn™ users, you’re always looking for authentic ways to grow your network and build meaningful connections—without coming across as "salesy." Here's a strategy I’ve been using lately that’s super simple but surprisingly effective:
Visit Your Recent Profile Viewers
Yup, it’s that simple. But it accomplishes two big things:
-
Shows you HOW people are finding you
Are they coming through searches, shared posts, or recommendations? Understanding this helps you tweak your profile and content strategy. -
Shows you WHO is finding you
The "OG" supporters who search for you are often loyal connections. Those who stumble across your content in the feed? They might be interested in following you—if they aren’t already.
What to Do Next:
When you notice someone new visiting your profile:
-
Send a quick thank-you. It’s a polite gesture and an easy conversation starter.
-
Keep it light and relatable. Don’t dive into a sales pitch—just make a connection.
-
Make it personal. Comment on something unique about their work or background to show you’re paying attention.
Pro tip: When you exchange a direct message (DM) with someone, your content is more likely to show up in their feed for the next two weeks. That’s free visibility to someone who’s already shown interest!
