A good way to interact with members is to join professional groups. This is a very powerful instrument. You can participate in conversations, ask questions, get advice or get opinions by joining a group. Hint: It's a very effective way to do informal market research and to find out what your potential customers need.
It's not selling, but adding value and building your authority in your industry or trade. As you become more well known, you will probably find people approaching you instead of approaching you.
Another way to check your connections is to see who they are connected to. If they know someone you know, you can contact them directly and ask them to introduce you. If you are satisfied with your service and are aware of your desire and confidence, you are more than willing to recommend your contact.
The other alternative is to ask for your contact in LinkedIn. If you make a recommendation about yourself, it will appear on your home page updates section. Speaking of recommendations, it is important that individuals who can influence your career receive recommendations. Send a note explaining how people can recommend you when you ask for recommendations. Some people just don't know how to do this and LinkedIn don't have a big button to recommend to people.
