1st-level Connections (People You Know)

Definition

People you are linked to on LinkedIn. You connect when you accept their invite, or they accept yours.

These are your main contacts. You can send them messages. You can only have 30,000 of these. So, pick people you know well.

Usage

Talk to your 1st-level links. They can help you find work or team up on projects.

Tips

  • Pick well: Choose people in your field, clients, or partners.
  • Say why: When you invite someone, say why you want to connect. This helps them say yes.
  • Join in: Like, comment, and share posts from your links.
  • Give help: Share useful things. Don't just ask for help; give back.
