5 LinkedIn Tactics To Build A High-Value Network Fast
5 LinkedIn tactics to build a high-value network fast Forget the typical LinkedIn advice about posting three times daily and tagging everyone breathing. The most interesting people on LinkedIn don't do that. Instead, they're building valuable relationships, and their inboxes overflow with opportunities they never chased. The next person you meet on LinkedIn could transform your business. But if you're still sending "I'd love to connect" messages without thinking, you're invisible to the right people. Strategic engagement starts with thoughtful comments on target connections' content, establishing intellectual rapport before any connection request arrives. The professionals you want to know see tonnes of generic outreach. Stand out by becoming memorable first. Transform your LinkedIn network by becoming unforgettable No "Great post!" comments, or anything that screams networking desperation. You're better than that. Read their content properly. Find the one insight that sparked a new thought. Share that thought in two sentences that add value to their argument. When someone posts about scaling challenges, don't just agree. Share the specific framework that helped you overcome the same obstacle. Make them think "Who is this person?" in the best possible way. Your LinkedIn comments become your first impression portfolio. People accept connection requests from people they recognise. They want consistent intellectual contribution, not random agreement. Make it clear you're on their level by engaging with their ideas as an equal. Challenge their thinking respectfully. Add data they missed. Your thoughtful disagreement creates stronger relationships than empty praise. Quality over quantity, every time. Generic connection requests get ignored because they offer nothing. So do more. Reference the specific post where you first engaged. Mention the exact insight that resonated. Then add one sentence about how it relates to your current work. "Your remote team productivity framework mirrors what we've implemented at [company]The most successful connection requests I've seen follow one of two patterns. The first: acknowledge expertise, reference specific content, share relevant experience, suggest mutual value. The second: one breezy, offhand line, like you're texting a friend. Test both. Either way, make it impossible to ignore. Most people send requests without reading a single post. Do the opposite and watch your acceptance rate rise. Creating magnetic content that addresses real challenges naturally attracts high-calibre professionals without chasing or pushing. Share the expensive mistakes that taught you critical lessons. Document the counterintuitive strategies that actually worked. The content that attracts quality connections solves problems your ideal connections face daily. Track which posts generate inbound connection requests from people you want to know. When you share a detailed breakdown of a failed product launch, you could see an influx of connection requests from founders facing similar challenges. They connect because you shared generously, not because you asked them to. Vulnerability combined with tactical value creates magnetic content. Share what you learned from your biggest flop this year. Include the exact steps you took to recover. Watch how the right people find you. Voice notes delivering concentrated value in under 60 seconds might be your jam. Everyone sends text messages, but voice messages in the DMs give the pattern interrupt that gets you remembered. Record 45 seconds sharing one specific insight relevant to their recent post. Reference their work, add your perspective, suggest a resource. Keep it conversational but valuable. People overthink LinkedIn's voice message feature. Don't script it word for word. Keep going through mistakes. Speak like you're continuing a conversation you started in their comments. Personal, immediate, effortful. Practice keeping them tight. No rambling. One clear point, delivered with energy, creates connection. The best voice notes sound like you're grabbing coffee together. The ultimate connection strategy involves becoming a valuable person to know by introducing people with shared interests within your network. This is the hack. Introduce the best people you know to each other. Position yourself as the memorable catalyst for meaningful professional relationships. Stop hoarding connections. When you spot two people who should know each other, make the introduction. Include the reason they'd benefit from connecting. When you connect a founder with their next key hire, they remember. When you introduce complementary service providers who end up partnering, you become indispensable. Track your introductions. Become known as the person who makes powerful connections happen. Your network becomes exponentially more valuable when you think bigger about relationships. Your network becomes your net worth on LinkedIn The most interesting people in the world are three thoughtful conversations away. Stop sending generic messages. Their effectiveness is expiring. Instead, build intellectual rapport through strategic comments. Send connection requests that demonstrate genuine interest. Create content that solves problems. Use voice notes to break through the noise. Most importantly, become the connector others value. Your next game-changing relationship starts with one thoughtful comment today. Follow my LinkedIn profile checklist for landing coaching clients.

Amazon Warns 220 Million Customers Of Prime Account Attacks
Beware this Prime account attack, Amazon warns customers. I know better than most that Amazon Prime subscribers are under attack: I have been on the sharp end of multiple phone calls and email-based threats in the last four weeks alone. I have the advantage of being a cybersecurity insider, and so you would expect me to be aware of such threats and deal with them accordingly. Not everyone is so well informed, however, which is why Amazon has warned all 220 million Prime customers as attackers strike. Here's what you need to know and do. Amazon Warns Hundreds Of Millions Of Customers As Attackers Strike Pieter Arntz, a malware intelligence researcher at Malwarebytes, has issued a timely July 16 reminder that 'scammers are impersonating Amazon in a Prime membership scam.' I say timely, quite besides regular reminders of such attack threats being most welcome, because I have experienced not one, but two of these this week. Both were telephone calls, which I only answered as I was expecting to hear from the hospital and was in bed, ill at the time. The cause of Arntz's reminder, and the underlying Amazon warning to all 220 million Prime customers, however, was a spike in email attacks claiming that subscription rates are about to rise, along with a cancel subscription button that would lead to Prime account credential theft. The phone calls I took, by the way, were similar in outcome but differed in that they wanted me to believe someone had purchased an iPhone 13, of all things, using my account. The warning emails from Amazon, which I received on July 4 and wrote about at Forbes on the very same day, started with a stark alert that Amazon has become aware of 'an increase in customers reporting fake emails about Amazon Prime membership subscription.' These emails are particularly dangerous because, as Amazon said, they 'might include personal information in the emails, obtained from other sources, in an attempt to appear legitimate.' This came on top of earlier warnings from security researchers that more than 120,000 fake Amazon domains and web pages had been set up in the weeks and months before Prime Day, one assumes to be used to help in such attacks. How To Mitigate Prime Attacks, According To Amazon The attack warning email from Amazon included a number of mitigation recommendations, including: You can find further advice from Amazon online regarding how it protects customers from scams, along with the best ways to report an attack.
