How To Be a Super Open Networker on LinkedIn

Lean how to add thousands of connections to your LinkedIn profile without doing anything but clicking a few links and adding keywords to your profile.

Being an open networker on LinkedIn is one of the most powerful strategies for adding 3,000, 6,000, even 10,000 connections in just a few months.  Your first 4,000 connections can come as fast as 1 or 2 months.

Remember, these are strategies for self promotion for you, your job and your business.  Being an open network can accelerate your job search and help you get more leads for your products or services.

These social networking strategies can be used in any social network, but in LinkedIn you will get the most results in the fastest way.  Remember, LinkedIn is the social network for professionals.

What is The Big Deal With Open Networkers?

Have you ever seen “I’m an open networker” and wondered “what is that?” Especially after you see it 5, 10, even 20 times on LinkedIn.

So what is the big deal with open networkers? What is an open networker?

An open network on LinkedIn or any other social network is someone that is willing to accept your invitation if you send one. Yes, even if they don’t know you and or know someone you know they will accept your invitation.

Why would anyone accept all invitation?

If you accept all invitations and are an open network you want to grow your network as fast as possible. Many people really don’t understand why you should expand your network in this way and I’ve received many emails asking “why should anyone accept people in their network if they don’t know them”.

Expanding your network is not difficult and I think not the real question. The real question is “what can you do with your network once you have 7,000 in it?”

I spoke with 5 people last week that have more than 3,000 and don’t know what to do next. This is s typical problem, it is one thing to accept all invitations and expand your network and it is another to leverage them.

If you are not super marketing savvy chances are you don’t have a funnel to point your network. You don’t have a blog, or a newsletter or a way to get people from your linkedin.com network to your own private network.

What is the key? They key is value! The key is “Unselfish Promotion”. If you add value to your network you will easily get them to subscribe to your blogs or newsletters and down the line offer you a job, or buy your products or whatever you are promoting.

Some important advice, adding value does not mean telling people about your great products or letting them know about what incredible features and benefits your products carry. That’s advertising, not unselfish promotion.

You need to create value with real, usable, free information and yes, at the end feel free to plug your website, job, product or company.
