So what are you waiting for? Below are five key techniques to ramp up your LinkedIn Account:

1. Know Your Target Market

Before you start promoting on LinkedIn, you should know who your target market is.

You don’t want just anyone on your connections list. You want people that are interested in what you’re doing or who might know people that would be interested in what you’re doing.

2. Join Relevant Groups

LinkedIn groups are a great place to get attention.

You’ll find groups for almost any business interest, so keep looking until you find the group that you’ll want to spend some time providing value. The best way to get attention in these groups is to interact with people and be helpful.

3. Visit and Connect With Your Target Market

Look for people that are 2nd -and 3rd-level connections that are within your target market. These people should be active, engaged, and care about their LinkedIn profile.

You never know: you may reach out to connect, and the other person will be looking for or know someone who is looking for what you offer. Even if there isn’t a direct connection that creates a business transaction, you’ll increase your network when you connect with someone in your target market.

4. Create Thought Leadership Content

LinkedIn has its own publishing platform where you can post articles.

You can put your whole article there, or you can put a teaser article there and link to your full article on your blog.

5. Promote Your Content and Profile on Other Platforms

Don’t only promote your content and profile on LinkedIn.

Let people on Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms know you’re active on LinkedIn.

That’s the fastest way to build a lot of connections on your LinkedIn account.

Now get to it!
