Do you have a lot of connections , but not a lot of interaction?
Not all connections are created equal.
What type of person are you on LinkedIn?
隸♂️ Super User. You are online all the time. Posting at least daily; like, comment, and share all kinds of stuff; and you respond to messages and comments.
履♀️ Lurker. You read other people’s posts, but hardly ever post or respond. You’d rather be a silent participant on LinkedIn than active.
Absent. You have a profile, but you never use it. Occasionally, you might update it, but you don’t look at your messages or your notifications and you have no pulse online.
Ways to identify what type of connections you have.
1. Send them a birthday greeting or congrats on job changes and promotions. See if they ever respond.
2. Look at their Activity on their profile. If the section is blank, you can see this person doesn’t participate much.
3. Check the recency and completeness of their profile. No picture, limited details, etc. Probably not active.
4. Number of connections. Less than 500? Obviously not using LinkedIn to connect with the world.
Who cares?
Are you using LinkedIn to connect with people on a deeper professional level or just to build a connection count.
