LinkedIn’s Q&A section is an AMAZING way to network.
Here is one strategy that you can use when working with LinkedIn Q&A. Answering questions which are relevent to your field. Be concise, and clear with your response. Then contact the question author directly and start to build a relationship with them.
Ask then questions like:
- Why they posted up their question to LinkedIn.
- What projects they are currently working on and how could you help them.
- What they thought of your answer and if they need clarification on any of the given points.
- Etc.
Ask them engaging questions and start to get to know them. Using this method, you will be able to build your network with people who are naturally interested in your field. Not bad, if I do say so myself :).
Another idea, if you want to meet people who are your prospects. Ask yourself what questions you think they are good at answering. Then seach for those kinds of questions and contact the other people answering the questions. Instant prospecting :).
