Three popular LinkedIn shortcuts break the LinkedIn User Agreement, and a lot of people are still using them.

Some know it and do it anyway. Many have no idea they are putting their account at risk.

In this episode, we walk through three rules from Section 8 of the LinkedIn User Agreement. We cover automation tools that scrape data or send connection requests and messages for you, engagement pods that manufacture likes and comments, and giving an executive assistant or VA access to your personal account so they can act as you.

We also explain what you can hand off, including your company page, and why your personal profile needs to stay yours.

LinkedIn is built around real, person to person interaction. There are no shortcuts to building real relationships.

LinkedIn profile tips for coaches, consultants, and service professionals who want more control over the first impression their profile makes.

In this episode of Entrepreneur Rescue Mission, we cover two LinkedIn profile updates you need to know about. First, the Add section button has a new, simpler layout. We walk through the seven main sections, what lives under More, and how to decide which sections are worth adding to your profile.

Then we cover an older feature most people have never touched. In your Activity section, one content type is highlighted in green, and that's what visitors see first. You'll learn how to change it to posts, videos, images, newsletters, or events, and why it's worth testing different options and checking your analytics.

If LinkedIn feels overwhelming, you're not alone. There's a lot you could be doing, and it's easy to stay busy without seeing real business growth.

In this episode, we keep it simple. Three activities, done consistently, that build your network, start more conversations, and create more opportunities for your business.

Connect. Send at least 15 connection requests a day, Monday through Friday, to potential ideal clients and referral partners. Without new connections, you can't grow your visibility, your reach, or your leads.

Converse. Reach out to 5 people a day. It doesn't have to be complicated. Welcome a new connection, send a birthday or work anniversary message, or thank someone for voting in your poll. Growing a business is a contact sport, and you can't wait for people to come to you.

Create. Publish 3 pieces of thought leadership content a week. When someone gets your message, they check your profile to see what you're about. Your content is what gets them to reply.

Whether you're doing one of these, none of them, or used to do all three and got away from it, this is your reminder to get back to it.
