LinkedIn being an effective medium for professionals can do a lot more for your network. The essential criteria you need to fulfill is to give exposure to a potential audience, which will keep your profile in front of clients. More visibility will bring in referrals and give chance to speak at events or conferences through invitations. This simply means you have to be repetitively be seen and noticed by the viewers as more and more will keep nice of you, announcements and updates will start getting the equal attention that you have been trying to get.
Also, understand that it is not an easy goal to shoot at all at once. Rather a strong network cannot be built instantly, it needs to be handled smartly and patiently to be taken forward in the right direction. Therefore, here are some effective techniques and efforts you must look at in order to build a sound network on LinkedIn:
Frequent status update
It is estimated that only one-third members are regular visitors, and the other half usually visit within a week. And it has been observed that home feed is usually filled with updates from same members. This establishes the fact that all those who do it actively obviously get more visibility. Hence, some way or the other is influential to build connections across the network.
Keep building connections
Do not find yourself in a place where you feel there is enough number of contacts or connections. Connections are never enough, they are supposed to keep on adding and increasing. Keep finding more opportunities to follow or build a connection with relevant members. Make the most of ‘People you may know’. And in case you decide to connect, send them personalized invitation other than the regular one. A similar feature is ‘alumni’ search option that helps you in getting connected as per the geographical location.

But you should know that a lot of users have a premium account, which means they have a refined set of keyword searching facilities, a broader set of parameters.

When you are at an initial stage, each and every connection might look valuable to you but gradually as you will understand the network. You will realize how wrong you were, adding all at once disturbs the balance and puts a question mark on your priorities. A quality has to be maintained while accepting the request of anyone. Wait a minute, lay back and think whether the other person is relevant to you in any way or not.
