Have you noticed that you can no longer message people
directly through groups?
Then what is the use of having a group, if you cannot
message people directly?
I have noticed that many groups on LinkedIn are now
becoming stagnant. People can no longer message people directly in the groups
and make those valuable interactions with the people they want to know and do
business with on that personal level. The reason this has happened is because
people were abusing this feature. Members of the groups were getting spammed
every day multiple times!
In order to message people directly without being
connected to them, you now need to be on a paid platform, so you have
"Inmail". Inmail allows you to send a message directly to anyone on
LinkedIn you choose, even if you are not connected to them. So if you want to
save time and get directly in touch with key people, you must be on a paid
platform.
Here's how you can make your group work for you on a FREE
platform or a paid one:
1. When you own your own group, you have the opportunity
to message your tribe with a pitch once a week.
2. You can manage your group by inviting people to connect
with you and offer them your email to connect with you.
3. You can also invite members of your group to be
featured once a week with a special post in the discussion thread. Invite them
on a first come basis and feature one member once a week. Have them send you a
post that tells about who they are and what inspired them to start their
company and what they can do to help others. They can invite your members to
attend their free webinars or workshops or meetups.
Remember one important feature about your group...your
group is not all about you. It is about how you can help your members and by
extension, it all comes back to you.
