    Commentary

     

    How do you become a top ten power profile on LinkedIn?

    I might argue that Charlotte Proudman must have been in one of those top ten lists but she was excluded - maybe for good reason but who else was excluded?

    So what do you have to do to get profile views;

     

    • Being famous obviously helps!
    • Laura Chetcuti isn’t famous and her posts are not very well read but she is very active and has 14,000 followers (presumably mostly connections
    • Ian Moyse (previous guest and LION) has a massive number of connections (33,772 followers) and came in the top ten technology list.
    • Bianca Miller - not especially well read but fairly active and has nearly 11,000 followers. She managed to get into the Leaders list alongside Richard Branson and David Cameron!
    • Question

      is there a polite way to let people know that you are NOT an open networker / LION?  Our marketing strategy has led me to be featured by LinkedIn as "someone you might be interested in following" as part of the on-boarding process of the new app, and this has increased my exposure hugely and I've gone from 3,000 followers (2,500 connections) to 16,000 followers in the last 2 months. Nice. But it also means I get invites from engineering graduates from every corner of the globe.... Can I stop that?

      Answer = The best way to deal with this would be to prevent people from inviting you to connect, unless they have your email address.
