The short answer

Accept requests from people who commented on your post first, a few dozen a day, during normal hours, and send each one the link right after accepting. Leave the rest for later. LinkedIn allows up to 30,000 connections, so the limit is pace, not total.

01Who to accept first

  1. People who commented your word. They are waiting for something you promised.
  2. People with a note in their request. They took the time to write.
  3. People in your field or your customers' field.
  4. Everyone else, when you have time.

02How fast is safe

Accepting is lower risk than sending requests, but hundreds of clicks in an hour still looks unusual. Spread it out: a few dozen a day, during your normal working hours, with the DM going out right after each accept.

03Sending what you promised

  1. 1
    Accept

    Accept the request from someone who commented.

  2. 2
    DM right away

    Send the link while they still remember asking. Use their first name.

  3. 3
    Keep a list

    Note who got it, so nobody gets it twice and nobody is missed.

04Keeping your network useful

  • Your feed will change as you connect with new people. Follow the voices you want to see more of.
  • Say hello to a few new connections who replied to your DM. Those are the warmest conversations you have.
  • Clean out pending requests you sent long ago. It keeps your account tidy.

05Let the accepting happen for you
