[11]

[12]

and now we're just going to show you

[26]

in this video i'm going to briefly

[27]

describe what counts towards the limit

[28]

and what doesn't count towards it

[30]

because that's important and then i'm

[31]

going to give you

[32]

different hacks yes different hacks

[34]

because don't you deserve a variety of

[35]

hacks

[36]

and stick till the end for a power tip

[37]

that'll really help you leverage this

[39]

network that you're building on linkedin

[40]

it starts right now

[45]

hey i'm brooke miles i'm a social media

[48]

strategist in delaware and no matter

[49]

where you live

[50]

if you are a small business owner or

[52]

entrepreneur or marketer

[53]

i'm here to give you practical

[55]

strategies so you can create a social

[56]

media program that gives you results

[58]

and that you can be proud of now let's

[60]

talk about this commercial use limit

[61]

linkedin won't tell you exactly what

[63]

this limit is

[64]

which is infuriating but it will tell

[66]

you that it's based on how many

[68]

searches you run and then how many

[70]

profiles you open

[71]

especially profiles of people you're not

[73]

already connected to here's what

[74]

specifically counts towards the limit

[76]

first of all searches you do on

[77]

linkedin.com and the link to mobile app

[79]

where you're using keywords and filters

[81]

for instance if i'm searching for a

[83]

chemical engineer

[85]

i'll see a bunch of results here this

[86]

would count towards the search if i

[88]

click on filters

[89]

and then maybe narrow down to the

[91]

greater philadelphia area and do other

[92]

filters like that and show the results

[94]

that counts towards the search

[96]

also accounts as if you're browsing

[97]

profiles on a company page

[99]

so let's go to dupont as an example

[102]

and then i browse the employees that

[104]

counts towards the search as well

[106]

so it also counts as if you're on

[107]

someone's profile and then you go to

[108]

people also viewed and start browsing

[110]

people

[111]

through here it's also possible that if

[112]

you're running linkedin searches through

[114]

some third-party apps so these searches

[116]

are happening in the background

[117]

that can also count towards the search

[119]

limit now let's talk about what doesn't

[121]

count towards the limit if you're on

[122]

someone's profile and instead of looking

[124]

at people also viewed

[125]

you go down to people you may know

[127]

browsing that doesn't count

[129]

also if you browse your first degree

[130]

connections if it's through the

[131]

connections page

[132]

so for example if you go to my network

[134]

and then connections

[136]

if you do this that you're totally fine

[138]

also if you type someone's name directly

[139]

in the search bar it doesn't count

[141]

you can also search for as many jobs as

[143]

you want on linkedin they're not going

[144]

to stop you there

[145]

now let's talk about hacks and the first

[147]

one brings google into the equation

[149]

now if you're looking for a particular

[150]

title at a particular company

[152]

but you need to narrow it down this hack

[154]

is really good here's what you do you

[156]

put in quotation mark

[157]

then the title let's do chemical

[159]

engineer space

[161]

dash space then the company end

[163]

quotation mark

[164]

space linkedin okay you got that

[174]

now you've done a search in linkedin but

[176]

not really in linkedin now you can click

[178]

on any one of these profiles

[180]

and find out more this next hack i call

[182]

the right click

[183]

trick that sounds a little obscene i

[185]

don't mean it that way

[186]

this is a pretty good hack that works if

[188]

you're looking for something different

[189]

than maybe just title and company

[191]

and it's going to help you get around

[193]

part of the limit but not all of it but

[195]

it still

[195]

will help you pretend you're just doing

[197]

a regular search again so let's say in

[199]

this case we want to be more specific

[200]

we're looking for

[201]

second-degree connections who are in the

[204]

greater philadelphia area

[206]

who previously worked at merck let's

[208]

quickly show the results

[210]

okay i have 41 results here instead of

[213]

clicking on the particular member

[214]

with a left click go ahead and right

[217]

click and then click on

[218]

open link a new tab and now you'll see

[220]

if you click on here

[222]

you're going into the profile so

[224]

technically you didn't click on their

[225]

profile from the search

[226]

now another way you could do this is

[227]

have a second tab open and you can go

[229]

ahead and type that person's name in

[231]

here

[231]

but that really works better if the

[232]

person has an unusual name but if you

[234]

want to type in a common name you have

[236]

to do it a little differently for

[237]

instance

[238]

my brother-in-law and sister-in-law are

[240]

bill smith and jennifer smith

[241]

so if i want to find bill smith on

[243]

linkedin fake i would type in the new

[245]

castle county

[247]

board of realtors and now i would

[249]

specifically get him

[252]

another cool hack is leveraging topics

[254]

by hashtags

[255]

now i know some of you avoid hashtags

[257]

like the plague and i totally get it you

[258]

don't like hashtags they seem really

[260]

weird

[260]

but trust me this hack is really cool so

[262]

let's say you want to search for people

[264]

who are interested in a particular topic

[265]

maybe because they're in the same

[267]

field let's search for a hashtag related

[269]

to that field so in this case let me put

[271]

[272]

chemical engineering with the hashtag

[275]

now you see a post right here and it has

[277]

chemical engineering in it

[278]

click on that now click on chemical

[281]

engineering down here

[282]

and now you'll see all the posts that

[284]

have chemical engineering

[286]

what i'm talking about here is looking

[288]

at the people who are engaging

[289]

with these posts for instance if you

[292]

look at this one right here

[293]

you'll see that there are 31 people who

[295]

liked it and there are nine comments

[297]

let's click on the 31

[298]

and now you can see all the people who

[300]

are responding to that particular post

[302]

then click on their profile and check

[303]

them out this next hack has to do with

[305]

the search url

[306]

and it makes linkedin think you're

[308]

opening up fewer search pages than you

[310]

really

[310]

are so let's do this again we're gonna

[312]

type in chemical engineer that's our

[313]

theme for the day

[314]

now let's say you've gone through this

[316]

page and you look through it and it

[317]

looks fine

[319]

instead of going down here and pressing

[321]

two three

[322]

four five et cetera et cetera which

[324]

again is going to be search page after

[325]

search page after search page

[327]

instead go to the url at the very very

[329]

top

[330]

and you see the all caps letters the

[332]

class in this case it says cluster

[333]

expansion

[334]

but yours might say search it might say

[336]

header go ahead and type this in you're

[338]

going to type in the and sign

[339]

page equals and then whatever page you

[342]

want to go to so if i want to go to page

[343]

two i'll type in two

[345]

and press enter now we're on page two

[349]

now if i want to go to page three i can

[351]

type in three

[352]

and so on

[359]

now for the power tip i know we're

[360]

talking about how to make sure linkedin

[362]

doesn't get in the way of you building

[363]

your network with all these new people

[365]

but remember you have first degree

[367]

connections too

[368]

who are semi warmed up to you in some

[370]

way it's a lot

[372]

easier to get sales and referrals by

[374]

building relationships and gaining trust

[376]

with the people who are already in your

[378]

system

[379]

than to constantly add new ones so

[381]

please keep that in mind

[382]
