5 ways networking will change your life!

-

Over the last year I have been using LinkedIn a lot more. In this blog I’m going to discuss 5 ways networking on the platform has benefitted me and how it can benefit you, ultimately changing your life for the better!

 

1 – A new perceptive.

LinkedIn is a brilliant platform for gaining valuable insights. For example, Asim Qureshi is a regular poster on LinkedIn who always posts very analytical insights. While I don’t always agree with his opinions, I find his posts interesting.

 


So many posts on LinkedIn are like this; people sharing their opinions and analysis on day-to-day topics.

 

 

2: It’s easy to get started.

LinkedIn is a super straightforward platform. You don’t even need to write well to go viral on LinkedIn. By creating content that you think is valuable, you’ll do well on the platform.

Here’s a post by my girlfriend, Monika, to show you how easy it is. Monika didn’t spend long on this post, and she’s by no means an expert. This post has over 17,000 views!



 

3: You could get offered internships and jobs.

Posting regularly on LinkedIn, resulted in me getting 2 job offers, and 2 internship offers, within 2 months this summer. Consistent posting and helping out where possible are the main reasons I got offered these. I would often contact individuals and make meaningful conversation.

 

 

4: LinkedIn could change the course of your whole life!

I’m serious! It actually could. It did for me. Before I had joined LinkedIn, I thought I wanted to work in finance. After reading posts and chatting to people about their careers, I decided that I really, really did not want to work in finance. I was truly passionate about marketing! If it wasn’t for LinkedIn, there is a very good chance that I would be going into the finance industry when I graduate.

 

 

5: You can ask (almost) anyone anything!

The vast majority of people on LinkedIn are very receptive to helping people when they can. I’ve contacted countless celebrities (in their field) and asked them for advice. 90% of them get back to me and give me some invaluable advice.

How to contact someone on LinkedIn

How do you contact someone you admire on LinkedIn? Okay, say you’ve been stalking someone's LinkedIn profile and you really love what their doing, or maybe its an industry leader that you’ve heard of, how do you get in touch?   In this blog post I’ll be sharing my technique for getting in touch, and having meaningful conversations with people you admire. For the purpose of this blog, we’ll assume that I want to contact a CEO of a medium sized company, who has a LinkedIn following of 50,000.     Step 1: Engage with their content. There's 2 main ways that I like to engage with people content. #1:  Comment on their posts. If someone posts something insightful then comment your opinion on this. While this example person does have 50,000 LinkedIn followers, only around 100 will comment. Only 10 of that 100 will comment consistently. If you comment on all of their posts, I can almost guarantee that by the time it comes to messaging them, they’ll at least re...

Optimising your profile on LinkedIn to achieve your goals is extremely important in helping you achieve your goals. In this post I will be giving a few basic tips for optimising your profile. Why do I need a good profile on LinkedIn? A good profile is essential in optimising your LinkedIn. Your profile is the first thing that people see when they go on your LinkedIn, its their first real impression of you. So, what should you do? 1: Have a good profile picture. The most important thing about a profile picture is that your face takes up a large portion of the photo. Check out this page to see LinkedIn's very own recommendations when it comes to profile pictures. 2: Make good use of your headline. I see some many students who have their headline as “Student at University of Strathclyde” or “Crew Member at McDonalds” or something similar. Instead, tell the people who view your profile what you’re interested in. Here's mine: 3: Optimise your About page. You have a HUGE section on ...
