3 Tips to Build a Thriving LinkedIn Network

Try these features to keep up with your connections.

Connect with others in your network by playing a little Mini Sudoku.

1. Show your leadership (on the leaderboard)

There’s more to making connections than formal intro emails. With LinkedIn’s games, it’s about having a little fun together too. Solve the Mini Sudoku, tackle trivia in Crossclimb, or test your logic in Queens, then tap “Join leaderboard” to see how your connections did—and send them a message with a tap.


See your connections’ professional milestones and successes in the app’s “Catch up” section.

2. Celebrate milestones

LinkedIn makes it easy to wish a former colleague a happy birthday or congratulate them on a new job: Just tap “Catch up” on the My Network tab. Want to expand your network? Tap “Grow” on the same tab to see people who attended the same school as you or who worked at the same company.


Join online workshops, seminars, and other events to make more meaningful connections with others in your industry.

3. Join a professional community

LinkedIn Groups are a great way to build relationships with others interested in the same projects, ideas, or industries as you. They run the gamut from the United Nations Climate Change Transparency group to the Generative AI group. Don’t see what you’re interested in? LinkedIn makes it easy to create your own. To access LinkedIn Groups, just tap your profile picture.
