the size of your linkedin network matters


Different members on LinkedIn have joined LinkedIn for different reasons. Whatever your reasons maybe having a larger network can help you better with achieving your goal(s).

Many members have different views on the issue of Quality vs. Quantity.

I say “Why not both, if you can!”





In this presentation I aim to demonstrate the scale of my personal LinkedIn Network as an example along with some searches which may be modified to help you find or target, connect with or contact people with a specific criteria in a specific region, industry, country…etc

For how to expand your network rapidly, check the posts and references listed at the end of this presentation and on the Linked Fans Blog www.linkedfans.net

Notes: In the searches listed previously …. I have grouped several countries for searching in the Middle

East.

I have added other locations to my current location to find out my ranking in the other locations.

I have placed “SAP” in the title field to search for SAP professionals rather than placing it in the keyword field to getter a better search result.

I have shortened the links as they are very long so they may be remembered easily using www.Ez.com
