In this episode, we are going to take a deep dive into when you should and shouldn't add a note to a connection request you are sending to someone on LinkedIn.  This is absolutely a topic of discussion for those who use LinkedIn on a regular basis. We are all looking for ways or "hacks" to improve our acceptance rate of connections sent out on LinkedIn. One of those ways is "adding a note" to the connection request to personalize it. Now in reality it sounds like a great idea, but I have found that if it's done too often, it gets lumped into the same category of "spam" messages being sent out. In my opinion, there are 3 instances where it is appropriate to send a connection request with a note: 1. If you know the individual personally 2. If you were referred to connect with them by a mutual connection or colleague 3. If you found the person via their business (book, podcast, speaking engagement, networking event) Sign up for our FREE Content Creation Workshop HERE: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/social-media-content-creation-workshop-march

In this episode, we are going to take a deep dive into the 4 negatives of being a part of a social media engagement pod, especially on LinkedIn:  1. It’s only half the battle: The posts that get the pod treatment can still be downgraded when reviewed by the LinkedIn bots (if it’s determined to be spam) and if a LinkedIn “human” decides to diminish its placement. 2. It’s not always genuine: The worst pods can act like performance-enhancing steroids, juicing your numbers as an artificial attempt to inflate quality scores. 3. Superficial engagement can hurt your credibility: A simple comment (for comment’s sake) may not add much value to your LinkedIn community. A comment that says simply “I agree. Thanks for sharing!” is akin to all of the Instagram comments you see with flame emojis or “love this pic!” with heart emojis. 4. LinkedIn could react: The LinkedIn team probably doesn’t love the idea of pods, so there’s a good chance that they will take (or are already taking) measures to diminish the ROI of being part of one. It’s been reported that Facebook hates Instagram pods, and some groups were actually removed from the platform. LinkedIn can and will do the same if necessary.
