14. What is a Connection?
On
LinkedIn,
the
basic
type
of
connec2on
is
a
contact
you
know
personally
and
who
you
trust
on
a
professional
level.
You
create
connec2ons
by
sending
and
accep2ng
invita2ons.
Once
you've
"connected"
to
them
on
LinkedIn,
you
can
communicate
with
them
directly
and
see
their
en2re
profile.
You
also
have
an
extended
network
of
connec2ons
made
up
of
people
who
your
connec2ons
know.
19. 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
restric2on
is
sending
too
many
invita2ons
to
people
you
don't
know.
• A
restric2on
is
automa2cally
triggered
if
too
many
invita2ons
are:
– Declined
with
the
I
don't
know
response.
– Flagged
as
Spam.
Fair Warning
20. Making Safe Connections
Tips
to
prevent
restric2ons:
• Invite
only
people
that
you
personally
know.
• Invite
only
those
you'd
recommend
to
others.
• Personalize
your
invita2on
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
Introduc2on
if
you
don't
know
someone's
email
address.

62. LinkedIn Protecting your brand
• Remember:
the
wri_en
word
is
forever.
• Don’t
be
too
spammy
–
Social
networks
are
all
about
the
conversa2on.
Engage
with
people,
add
value,
listen,
share
ideas,
like
other
peoples
comments,
and
present
your
marke2ng
–
don’t
just
present
your
marke2ng.
• Don’t
be
confronta2onal.
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
a_end
when
represen2ng
our
brand.
• Support
each
other’s
comments
where
you
agree
and
share.
