Many people are concerned about adding everyone as a connection because they don't what them to feel they've got permission to flood their inbox with spam. By keeping their network small, they know everyone personally and they're less likely to get an unsolicited advertisement.<br><br>Just a thought. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

LinkedIn has more stringent guidelines for linking. The trick is learning how to build your network without getting into trouble with their rules. Also, regardless of how many connections, building relationships online is a different skill than face-to-face networking. I agree with your basic approach.

As you had suggested, I have already set up a group for those in the Sporting World who are involved in buying and selling core products and wish to Network, please come along and be apart of it “Sport Related Networking”.

One of my next tasks will be connecting to strategic 2nd & 3rd degree connections.

I feel quite excited about the prospect of developing by business through Linkedin, thanks for the tips Lewis.

I guess time is my ongoing challenge. Regardless, I think LinkedIn have done an excellent job at differentiating their value proposition. Makes me wonder why I don't use it more!! Thanks for the thought inspiring article. Good point. I guess time is my ongoing challenge. Regardless, I think LinkedIn have done an excellent job at differentiating their value proposition.

Why not have both… quality and quantity? Obviously there are great advantages for being connected to more people in your network. And it does matter about the quality each member is..

However, each person brings some type of value. Even if they are an intern, or a job seeker, or someone who doesn't seem to be a “VIP”… they still are connected to those that are “quality” and by being connected to you, knowing your skills, and what you have to offer… they may recommend you to their “quality” connection at some point.

There are different approaches to different social networking sites… but if you want to build your business then refer back to #3 and #5 in my points in this post, and you will see my point.

I do want you to focus on connecting with quality people… and that will happen naturally when you add value to peoples lives on LinkedIn (then you will have both quality and quantity :)
