  • Connect with individuals who are part of your 2nd-degree network, meaning you share at least one common connection.
  • Add potential prospects who align with your target audience or persona.

Develop a curated selection of content.

The “Content Selection” section on LinkedIn enables you to showcase links to your company’s website or any other relevant websites, videos, photos, LinkedIn articles, and publications on your profile.
