LinkedIn Settings & Privacy

On LinkedIn, the basic type of connection is a contact you know personally and who you trust on a professional level.

You create connections by sending and accepting invitations.

Once you've "connected" to them on LinkedIn, you can communicate with them directly and see their entire profile. You also have an extended network of connections made up of people who your connections know.

What is a Connection?

The LinkedIn User Agreement states that they have the right to restrict, suspend, or close your account if warranted. The most common reason for a restriction is sending too many invitations to people you don't know.• A restriction is automatically triggered if too many invitations

are:– Declined with the I don't know response.– Flagged as Spam.

Fair Warning

Tips to prevent restrictions:• Invite only people that you personally know.• Invite only those you'd recommend to others.• Personalize your invitation message. Explain how you know

them or why you want to connect.• Add a current, professional, head-shot photo to your profile

so people recognize you.• Use an InMail or Introduction if you don't know someone's

email address.

• Remember: the written word is forever. • Don’t be too spammy – Social networks are all about the

conversation. Engage with people, add value, listen, share ideas, like other peoples comments, and present your marketing – don’t just present your marketing.

• Don’t be confrontational. Try to resolve problems the same way you would if you were face to face with the person… on stage… in front of thousands… and as if it’s being recorded.

• Use the same decorum that you would use in any public event you attend when representing our brand.

• Support each other’s comments where you agree and share.
