The Hard Truth About LinkedIn Networking

Stephen Tseng | Created: Nov 9, 2023 Updated: Jul 19, 2024

Harsh truth here.

Some LinkedIn users only engage with you when seeking new opportunities.

If I don’t have a relationship with them, I am not eager to help them.

Online networking is like offline networking.

Spend time having a conversation with your contacts regularly.


The best time to network is when you don’t need to network.
