How to Send a LinkedIn Connection Request

LinkedIn connection requests can feel a bit like fishing—sometimes you catch a big one, and sometimes you're just stuck waiting.

Typically, LinkedIn lets you send around 100 connection requests per week. But hey, don’t blast through them too quickly; the exact limit can vary depending on your account's reputation with LinkedIn’s sneaky algorithm.

For some, 100 might sound like loads, while others feel they're just getting started.

But what if you're a serious networker, and 100 just doesn’t cut it? Well, good news: with Leadplay.io, you can double that limit, sending up to 200 requests a week without sweating over LinkedIn flagging your activity.

How to Send a LinkedIn Connection Request (The Easy-Peasy Way):

1. Log into LinkedIn (obviously, right?).
2. Search for that person you’re eager to connect with.
3. Click into their profile—and no stalking, please.
4. Hit the big blue “Connect” button.
5. Personalize your request—seriously, don’t skip this! LinkedIn might even remind you with a friendly pop-up (they’re looking out for you, trust me).
6. Craft a quick, catchy message. Something like: “Hey Alex, loved your recent post about AI! Would be great to connect.”
7. Click “Send,” and voilà, it's like sliding into professional DMs—fingers crossed they'll accept!

Pro Tips for LinkedIn Connection Requests:
