Preface

 

Unless we know each other personally, please do not send me an invitation to join your LinkedIn network as a direct connection. However, please feel free to contact me.

 

 

Getting Started

 

If you are wondering what LinkedIn is all about, I recommend that you read one or more of the articles on LinkedIn’s media coverage page.

 

The tips below are written for anyone who would like start building their network of contacts using LinkedIn. I suggest that each tip be followed in sequential order.  Note that all of the tips below assume that you have created a LinkedIn account and are logged in. By no means is this tips list a complete list of everything that you can do to take full advantage of the LinkedIn site, but I think it can provide you with a good start.

 

Warning:

 

There may be ethical and legal ramifications if you send a LinkedIn invitation to someone without their desire and consent to receive an email from you.
