How To Get 300 Linkedin In-mails.

I'm going to tell you a secret and then I'm going to leave you alone. Ready?

I'm going to tell you a secret and then I'm going to leave you alone. Ready? Here it goes:

You can get 300 LinkedIn In-mails if you do three things: be a nice person, build a public profile that people can trust, and help them in some way. That's it! No tricks or gimmicks needed. Just do those simple things and people will want to connect with you on LinkedIn for years to come.

Be a nice person

  • Be Genuine. People can smell insincerity a mile away, so be honest and genuine in all of your communications.
  • Be Helpful. Make an effort to help the people you come across during your day-to-day activities (and use LinkedIn as a platform for this).
  • Be a Good Listener: Listen intently when someone speaks to you, even if they are not saying something directly related to your business or profession—it may lead them down the path of sharing more information that could benefit your company or service offering.
  • Be A Good Communicator: If you can't communicate with clarity, others won't understand what it is that you do or how they would benefit from using it. When talking about yourself or presenting ideas for new products/services on Linkedin, make sure there are no misunderstandings about what exactly it is that you're trying to convey! Consider writing down some bullet points describing key points ahead of time if necessary so there aren't any surprises when communicating face-to-face later down the road."

Build a public profile that people can trust

The first step to building a successful public profile is to create a trustworthy and respectable presence. Since you are using LinkedIn as a platform to connect with other professionals, it’s important that your profile reflects the same professionalism that you want from others. This can be done by sharing information about yourself and your work in an honest yet professional manner.

To begin, create an account on Linkedin, then add some basic information about yourself such as your job title, employer (or multiple employers), where you studied and what college(s) or university(ies) you attended if applicable. Next go through each section of Linkedin's "Edit My Profile" page by clicking on the edit link next to each one:

  • Education & Certification
  • Skills & Expertise
  • Experience: Work History
  • Awards & Accomplishments

Help them in some way

The best way to get people to connect with you is by helping them in some way.

Whether it's a small favor like sending an article, or a bigger favor like coaching them on how to write a LinkedIn summary or update their résumé, the important thing is that you're helping someone for free.

You don't have to be an expert at what they need help with, but just be willing and able to give advice or assistance where you can.

Anything worth doing is not easy.

“Anything worth doing is not easy.”

This is something that I've said a lot in my life and it's something I believe with all of my heart. This isn't just a cliché phrase that people throw around without thinking about it, either. It's actually a powerful statement because it speaks to how we should approach our goals and dreams, whether they are personal or professional.

If you want to achieve anything in life, then you need to be willing to work hard at it. You need to pay attention to detail and be consistent with your efforts over time so that they add up over time until eventually your goal becomes obtainable. The only way this happens is if you remain patient enough during the process of learning what works for yourself as well as others around you who have achieved similar results (or even better!). This will allow for feedback from other sources which can help guide us towards better strategies for achieving our goals faster than ever before!

It all boils down into one thing: whatever success means for each individual person—whether that means having more money or being happier with themselves—then there needs some sort of motivation behind their actions."

Conclusion

While getting your first 300 in-mails is difficult, it’s not impossible. You just need to keep at it and find ways to make it easier on yourself—like using the LinkedIn Groups feature or having a friend help you get started. The best part is once you get an in-mail from someone who wants to connect with you, they’ll likely keep that connection active and continue inviting new people into their network. So as long as they invite enough people before leaving the company or retiring from their career altogether!
