It's often asked if the number of connections a person has on LinkedIn matters. And the answer is both "yes" and "no."

Obviously, that's a little confusing. So the short answer… you do want to have 500+ connections. After that, stop worrying about the size of your network. The only other thing you should pay attention to is the size of the networks of the people you're connecting with.

To learn more about why size does and doesn't matter, listen in to Episode 206!

Networking can be intimidating for people… for a lot of people. It can be hard to know who to connect with, how to best spend your time, how to even get started.

There are three areas you should be focusing on to make networking effective. First, focus on the people who will be beneficial for your business. Next, referral marketing is of extreme value, so set aside time for referral marketing. Lastly, connect with journalists in your industry.

If you focus on these three areas of relationships you should be building, your networking efforts will be effective!

As women, we need to support other women. We should be here for one another. So how do we do that?

For starters, as your influence grows, your responsibility grows. To grow your influence, start by finding your tribe. Once you find your tribe, begin building real, honest relationships – do this by connecting with one person per week. As you connect with other women, envision the change you'll make.

If you're ready to find your tribe, build real relationships, and make change, listen in to this episode!

This week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich is brought to you by Uplevel Media CEO and LinkedIn expert, Karen Yankovich. In this episode, Karen shares why your focus should be on building relationships, not producing content.

Building relationships is far more effective than producing content. So why do we spend so much time producing content?

#GoodGirlsGetRich

Content is important – no doubt. But do you know what's even more important than producing content? Building relationships.

Building relationships can feel difficult and time-consuming. So it's easy to procrastinate and focus on creating content for Instagram and TikTok instead. Content, however, is the most beneficial for your business.

The truth is that building relationships isn't all that hard. In fact, to make relationship-building easy, you just need to follow these steps.

To learn these steps, listen in to Episode 197!
