Make LinkedIn A 15 Minute Daily Habit
- Do spend 15 minutes daily on LinkedIn as a long‑game investment in future opportunities.
- Jay Schwedelson recommends consistent daily engagement, not reactive outreach, to build relationships before you need them.
Warm Up Targets With Thoughtful Comments
- Do follow and bell‑notify 50–100 target profiles, then comment thoughtfully on every post for 30–60 days before connecting.
- Jay says this brands your name in their feed so connection requests land warmer and acceptance rates rise.

- Do add a custom note when sending connection requests from desktop and reference learning from their content.
- Jay notes a custom note increases acceptance by ~30% and should say you've been learning from their posts and want to connect.
