Have you written any recommendations on LinkedIn this week? Why not? It is easy, tell the truth and keep it short and simple. Three lines is perfect, five lines means you better have a lot to say.
Why? Because it is the easiest way to strengthen your connection with people you know and have worked with. You show up on their page as someone who has recommended them, taking a higher priority over all of their other connections. They are listed on your page as someone you have recommended. More importantly, your recommendation hits both of your news feeds.
Giving a recommendation is better than getting a recommendation. My suggestion is you should try and give at least 1 recommendation per week for the rest of the summer. If you do not have 10 people you can write recommendations for, then you need to add more connections. Spread the Love on LinkedIN this summer.
