🌱 Warm Up Your LinkedIn Account

🔑 Start slow: Begin with 5 daily invites and gradually increase. This steady growth boosts your weekly limit without penalties.
⚠️ Watch out for: Rejected or ignored invites—they can lower your limit!


Do's for Effective LinkedIn Invites

✔️ Personalize your invites: Add a genuine reason to connect.
✔️ Be transparent: Share your purpose upfront.
✔️ Research: Check profiles to craft meaningful invites.
✔️ Engage first: Like/comment on their posts before sending invites.
✔️ Add value: Share insights, resources, or opportunities.
✔️ Strong profile: Make sure your profile is professional and complete.


Dont's
