6 Ways to Get Followers on LinkedIn

  1. Share your company page with connections from your personal profile. How? Simply ask them if they’d also follow your company page by sharing the link as a status update on your personal profile.
  2. Ask your employees to share the page with their connections. If you have all of your employees do this, you should see your follower count go up fairly quickly. Just be sure to ask them to include a personal message so you get the best results possible.
  3. What other social media sites are you on? Twitter, Facebook, and/or Google +? Be sure you’re sharing your LinkedIn page on these sites (on both your personal and business accounts) so you’re not missing out on getting new followers.
  4. Want to encourage people to share your blog content on LinkedIn or follow your business’ profile? You can do this by adding a follow, recommend, or share button to your company website or blog. Not sure how to do that? Don’t stress, click this link for instructions courtesy of LinkedIn.
  5. The more people you follow on LinkedIn, the more likely you are to have a larger follower base yourself. That’s why you should follow all of your clients. When they see you’re following them, they might follow you back. It’s as easy as that!
  6. Want to get more followers on LinkedIn every time you send an email? Add your LinkedIn company page to your email signature. While this isn’t a guarantee it’ll work, it will still give you a great shot at continually building your followers on LinkedIn, especially if you send a lot of emails on a daily basis.
