Common Mistakes People Commit on Linkedin

The sad reality is that there are people who make huge blunders when trying to market something through Linkedin. Here is a compilation of some of those things:
- Giving with Expectation
If you want to raise good will and earn good recommendations on Linkedin, you really have to make an effort and give first. It doesn't matter if you feel like your recommendation does not read right, as long as it makes sense, people will appreciate it; after all, it's not easy fishing out are commendation on Linkedin. - Not Giving
People commit the mistake of ignoring pleas for recommendations from their contacts on Linkedin. Don't go there. Be the better and kinder person by making sure that you answer and provide recommendations to people who you feel either deserve it, or somebody you know who can really benefit from a well-meaning recommendation. - This is Not Facebook
Leave your shenanigans on Facebook or Twitter. Linkedin has this distinction of being a professional playground or a place where professionals like to hang out and meet people working in the same industry or at least an industry related to theirs. Posting about last night's drunken antics will not earn you any friends, it might even make people look at you in a different light. The same goes for posting inappropriate photos.
