The first feature under Boost allows you to auto-endorse up to 100 contacts per day. Just click the button and let MakeLinx do the rest.

FAQ/Wiki and Tips n’ Tricks You can find the link for the FAQ/Wiki on your Dashboard. There you can find

a text version of the startup guide and answers to many more questions.

Tip – We cap auto-views at 800 per day. Viewing a profile 2x a day will get you the highest viewback ratio. Generally people look at their “who’s viewed me” list just before lunch and just before they leave for the day. This means that you would want each list to be around 400 profiles.

Set your LinkedIn profile up as a marketing page, not a resume. Have a solid tagline about what your product is and/or how you will be adding value to your prospects. Add relevant and easy to consume content to your Summary section and your position section. Whitepapers, Glossies, Videos, and short presentations are great.

Remember the idea is for the prospect to see your face, company name, how you are going to add value, and something about your product, offering or solution.

Try to max out on your views everyday and try not to look at the same profile more than a few times a week. Happy hunting!
