7 Proven Ways to Get LinkedIn Connections - FREE Version

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Thanks for watching! Based on your feedback, I'm trying to get this crazy therapist into more of my videos. Let me know what you think!

[@johngarrett4200]

The therapist was funny, engaging, and a great way to transition between points. The therapist needed therapy was smart.

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Thank you for the feedback on that! She does keep the conversation flowing.

[@altonhandfield4934]

I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I have to say, I LOVE IT!

[@DelawareShoutOut]

@@altonhandfield4934 Wow, thank you so much, Alton. That means a lot! 😊

[@stevenmiles3038]

Wow. I have always been much too picky about who I connect with. These ground rules help a lot.

[@DelawareShoutOut]

I'm glad this helped, Steven!

Hi madam, I just want to say this out loud that you a are a great sales person and even an intelligent presenter. Since I found your channel, if there is any "how to..." topic I am searching for, especially for Linkedin, your video often come out in the search result and I definitely click on your video for sure. Thanks for all you do!

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Thank you so much! 😊 That means a lot to me. I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos!

[@Cineflix_Insider_Recap]

Thank you for this video. I was informed and entertained at the same time

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Thank you! I'm so glad you found it informative and entertaining! That was the goal. :-)

[@footyvision2218]

Now that's how you make content! Love your vibe! Keep up the great work

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Thank you so much! It was a fun video to make. :-)

[@sammolly6952]

You are a superstar! I have 2 questions for you: 1- I have lots of useful material in my field as well as lots of time to create daily content but my concern is that might need to compromise the quality in favor of the quantity .... the question is do you suggest posting daily or biweekly on the newsletter taking into account that a "DAILY CONTENT IDEAS" sort of newsletter most likely would grab more attention? 2- Can I get over that by creating a 1 paragraph daily article or a canvas template as an article like infographic or so ? Many thanks in advance

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Thank you so much! Always put quality over quantity. You want people to look forward to your amazing content than see underwhelming content on a regular basis. Aim for posting 2-3 times a week and then use the rest of your time building and engaging with your network. Over the long term, you'll get better results. I hope that helps!

[@johnshelton7525]

I can't EVER remember a more delightful and creative presentation. Im an author trying to sell my books on Linkedin and will explore your website to see f you can help. Warning: I really am a therapist.

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! On my website, you‘ll see you can book a discovery call, and I look forward to learning more about you and your books! And BTW, all my experiences with therapists have been positive - my fictional therapist just seemed like a fun character to create. 🙂

[@johngarrett4200]

I had my LinkedIn profile open while you walked through it, and yes, I had Creator Mode On! The therapy session gave me the confidence to connect with strangers in the field. I also appreciate the professional content formatted into the engaging therapy session and the self-deprecator humor. I can’t imagine storyboarding and writing this; you are truly gifted! But lets get back to me... LOL

[@DelawareShoutOut]

I'm glad you now feel confident to reach out to strangers. Seriously, as long as they see you care, you'll be fine. :-) And the script writing IS my therapy! 😀 Have a great day, John!

[@brandongrubb2242]

Love the video! It’s super important to accept as many connections as possible, as it’ll make networking all that much easier!

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Exactly! Your first-degree connections are key for building a much larger network with second- and third-degree connections.

[@annamarinova88]

This video is amazing, thank you for creating it. Loved the format too, so engaging and pleasant to watch while learning xxx

[@DelawareShoutOut]

I'm so glad you liked it, Anna! I tried to make it entertaining. :-)

You are hilarious. Love it.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@BobBacheler]

Great tips. I learned a few things.

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Excellent! I'm glad there were a few takeaways!

[@thecreativemastermin]

This video is so underrated

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Thank you! I wish more people saw this video, too!

[@ociemoore1]

Love this! So can you search contacts/prospects from the app?

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Thanks! Yes, you can search through the app. I use the free version, but there are really robust search capabilities on the premium plans.

[@ociemoore1]

@@DelawareShoutOut I don’t think you can add people that you don’t know on the app. I am not seeing that option.

[@DelawareShoutOut]

@@ociemoore1 I'm seeing it both on mobile and desktop. Type in the keyword, then select people, and then you'll see filters. I hope that helps!

[@ociemoore1]

@@DelawareShoutOut your phone must have a different layout idk haha 🤷🏾‍♂️…If you have a video on this can you please share a link? I appreciate your help and this page? THANK YOU.

[@DelawareShoutOut]

@@ociemoore1 I'm so sorry - I don't have a video on the mobile version. Hopefully there's another video out there on KZbin that can explain!

[@bettyyin7686]

Brooke, Is it possible to have a video to share your strategy on how to personalize connection request would get more approval? I sent a lot of personalized "add note" connection request and inmails, but they are still in a mess

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Thanks so much for the suggestion, Betty! Others have asked for this, too, and it's on my video ideas list. Because my list grows faster than my ability to produce videos (since it takes 20-40 hours to produce a single video), it may be some time before you see it. In the meantime, just do your best to personalize the request -- i.e., mention something special about their profile or a recent post they did so they're sure to know that you took the time to get to know them.

[@bettyyin7686]

@@DelawareShoutOut Okay i got it, thank you so much!

[@hasanmougharbel8030]

Hey there, great efforts in your channel. When i add connection on linkedin, i dont see that connection within the pending send invitations. Why is there a delay when sending invitation via add connection page? Thanks a lot.

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for your question! The only thing I can think of is that while LinkedIn is great, it lags in certain areas, including having the most up-to-date information re: pending invitations. Hopefully at some point LinkedIn will fix that!

[@FlyingPlaneAndSimple]

How do you get the "Contacts" button for the tip at 5:34? Premium? Sales Navigator?

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Thanks for asking! Everything I show on the video is on the free account. That said, I did some sleuthing, and it looks like LinkedIn no longer offers the "add contacts" feature (they say it on one of their Help pages). It's a shame it's no longer there!

[@ricardonavarrohernandez53]

thanks for the video...but once the page is created how can i write/add new people from my business page without linking with my personal linkedin profile? i think this quesiton is super important

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Thanks for asking, Ricardo! When you're inviting people to follow your company page, your only choice is to invite people you're connected with through your personal profile. In other words, your connections would say "Ricardo is inviting you to follow xxxx page..." Keep in mind that your personal network on LinkedIn is a lot more important than company page followers, so anything you can do to leverage your personal network would be best. It's not always possible, but it's ideal.

[@ricardonavarrohernandez53]

Then means, that I cannot keep being anonymous myself? Would I need to make another profile just for the company reason?

[@DelawareShoutOut]

@@ricardonavarrohernandez53 Thanks for asking! You can't be anonymous on LinkedIn. And any "fake" accounts will eventually be shut down in LinkedIn, so it's not worth starting.

[@wendydixonjewitt1961]

I don't think it exists anymore. I think Linkedin got rid of creator mode.

[@DelawareShoutOut]

Correct. Creator Mode no longer exists. Unfortunately it's tough to delete from past videos. :-)
