Head over to our Private LinkedIn Membership community and introduce yourself if you haven’t already. Remember we all want you to succeed so don’t be shy!

How to Get to 500 Connections:

COVID-19 has been a scary experience. You might feel like you’ve been on a roller coaster ride that you can’t get off of. But we are here to help you get off that ride. In this episode, you will learn how to get 500+ LinkedIn Connections! Start first by connecting with people you know, with coworkers, and with email/phone contacts. With all this stress of the unknown connecting on LinkedIn may not be your #1 one priority right now, but you must do this if you want a REMOTE JOB in 12 days!


And what better time than now since you’re quarantined at home? It will also help you stand out among the influx of people filling out online applications. Instead, you will have made personal connections with potential employers from your dream company. We will teach you how to turn your LinkedIn connections into relationships that will then turn into a job. Before we can do that, you must get 500+ LinkedIn Connections. Down below is a step-by-step guide on how to connect with 500+ people. Now is the time to get popular on social media. Do it in seven days! 

Getting to 500 connections

1.Click on the My Network button on the top bar.

2.If you don’t have any connections yet, click on
the Connections option on the left side.
3.Click the Connect button beneath every person on the page to send them a connection request.

This will sometimes refresh automatically, but if it does not, you may have to refresh it manually. The next steps show you how.

4.Visit any other section of LinkedIn.

It’s probably easiest to just click one of the other top buttons.

5.Go back to the My Network section.

Doing this forces LinkedIn to generate a new list of people for you to reach out to!

6.Repeat steps 1-5 to connect with boatloads of people!

LinkedIn may eventually tell you that you’ve reached a limit for your connections. If it does that, just come back tomorrow and do it all over again.

HERE’S A TIP:

Think of connecting with 500+ people on LinkedIn like speed dating career connections! The more people you get to know the more career opportunities you will have. So, put yourself out there. There will be people who want to connect with you and you can use these new connections as a gateway to your new job! Plus we could all use some human connection at a time like this.

DON’T…
  • … focus too much on who you’re connecting with but instead getting 500+ connections. You want to connect with as many people as you can to reach the 500+ magical number!
  • … waste time on people who don’t connect back with you. It doesn’t mean they don’t love you. They may not take LinkedIn as seriously as you do. Maybe they made a mistake and accidentally skipped over you.
  • … take it personal if someone doesn’t accept your contact request. By not reconnecting with you, it becomes their loss and not yours. Prove them wrong by taking over a Fortune 500 company. Learn how in our next show!*

* Taking over a Fortune 500 company will not be covered in our next show. Haha, tricked you!
