Increasing Your Popularity on Linkedin - Part 2

Hi Friends,
This post is pretty much extension to the Part -1 about popularity.
In the last post we discussed about using the 'Answers' feature of Linkedin. Today, I would be covering the Groups section to increase your popularity.

Participating in groups may boost your popularity on Linkedin just like a rocket. Of course, increasing your popularity isn't just a click-to-go algorithm. It needs time. It is only recommended for advanced Linkedin users who devote approximately 1-2 hours everyday on Linkedin.

It might be sounding a little difficult, but it isn't that difficult. To make it simple for you guys and even for myself I will explain the process in a few points:


  • You might be a member of as many groups you want. But, choose 4-5 groups as your primary groups which have many members and you feel that would have your target audience. For example, if you're looking for an IT job it might be a good idea to consider "IT Recruiters" group as one of your primary group

  • Once you search and finalize these groups, all you have to do is to participate in them. Sounds simple? Yes it is

  • By participation, I do not mean that you need to write something new everyday. You just need to visit these groups' pages once everyday ( or less if time does not permit) and reply to other members or post your queries or knowledge about the subject relevant to the other group members

  • Do this wholeheartedly for a month and see the MAGIC

NOTE: Please don't post crap just for the sake of it. It might have a negative effect.
