LinkedIn Networking Tip - The OpenLink Network

Tweet

LinkedIn has become the standard for marketers looking to network. You can open yourself up to even more connections by joining the OpenLink Network. This allows other LinkedIn users to introduce themselves to you without using their InMail credits. It also clearly shows that you are open to introductions. To join the Open Link Network, go to your contact settings and click the box next to the OpenLink symbol.

I have received a few interesting introductions since joining the network. I am cautious about accepting new connections, but I have no problem if someone introduces themselves to me.

You can look for others in the network by performing an Advanced People Search and limiting the results to members of the OpenLink Network.

All in all, a useful little feature.
