It seems that the simple “+500 relationships” is not enough for them. They display “20,000+” or “25K” to show they have a big network. Ego problem? If that’s the only characteristic they have to highlight, that’s not necessarily a good sign… What you need to know is that by doing this, many people got “fried”. By inviting too much in all directions, especially by checking the “I don’t know” box, their account is blocked and they can no longer invite anyone. Developing your network to have as many level 2 contacts as possible and therefore hoping to be more visible has its limits. When everyone is level 2 of everyone, this will no longer make sense. Network size will no longer have an impact. At my level, I have 3 million level 2 contacts.
When I do a basic search, I frequently have more than 100,000 level 2 profiles. Without a subscription, I am only Email Data allowed to see 100 results. And depending on the paid plans, we can go up to 700. If I only rely on my network, the results are so numerous that I have a greater chance of not seeing someone than of seeing them. To see more clearly and find the contact I want, you need to refine the search. It is therefore again around the content that this will play out. Having a large network to stand out well and more often in the results pages therefore has its limits. Have lots of choice and variety when researching. This can be a strategy: having choice is important.
However, we come back to the same point: we have a lot of choice of profiles when we launch a query, but we quickly realize that many profiles do not correspond to what we are looking for. We will have to refine our search to have fewer but more targeted profiles. Here again, it’s all about the content. By being more selective in your search, you can even go further, highlighting Level 3 profiles in your results. Since the changes made by LinkedIn in the summer of 2015, everyone has access to their level 3 profiles. Have a big audience if you publish. On LinkedIn, since December 2015, anyone can publish articles. Anyone can go beyond basic interaction (like, comment, share) and publish an article. You can publish for yourself or for a few close friends but a priori, if you publish it is also to make yourself known / noticed.
