How to invite following to LinkedIn business page? (16 posts)

Topic tags: linked-in
  • I was wondering how to invite people to follow my business page on Linkedin. What’s the etiquette way of doing this?

  • @petaminter12

    Peta, try the LinkedIn follow button (see it our Social Media Examiner’s home page side bar)
    Here is the link:

  • @petaminter Thanks for asking this question – I had the same one! @mike-stelzner Thanks for answering it!

  • @petaminter12

    Also, if you have an email newsletter you can invite people that way as well, just providing them the link and making the suggestion.

    You should also be clear about the benefits, and provide value once they get there so they learn to trust your recommendations. 

  • I just watched a Hubspot webinar on using linkedin company pages yesterday and two of the big ways they suggested where including the link in your email signature and as a CTA at the bottom of your blog posts.

  • Thanks all!  Sometimes I don’t even realize I have the question until someone else asks it!!

  • Great suggestions, thank you for your help!

  • @michaelpingree Michael, I’ve formally declared today as my Official Senior Moment Day all day long… so help me out here with a reminder… what’s CTA?

  • @atlantarobin  CTA= Call To Action

  • @michaelpingree Thanks! Call to action… of course.

  • thanks for asking that question for the seniors in the group!!! @atlantarobin same here, Kim, glad the question was asked@kimkline thanks for asking this @petaminter12 thanks for answering this question, helpful as always! @rich-brooks @mike-stelzner @michaelpingree

  • I have tried messaging all my contacts and asking them to follow my page.  But I am not having a lot of success.  Is there any app or way to have an ebook download available if you follow the Company. I am in the Business Journal Social Madness contest.  I won our local competition but am competing Nationally starting Tuesday.  One of the measurements is growth in the Linked in Company pages.  I have 500 plus contacts and lots of groups but this “CTA” is difficult.  If anybody knows of any sources to figure this out please let me know.  Thanks–I am also willing to follow other companies if that helps….??my Company page is Chicks Chat and ChangeAll suggestions appreciated!!  Ann Zuraw  @azanswers

  • you can link tos your LinkedIn page all over your site.

  • @petaminter12 one other thing you could do is joining groups in your niche market over linkedin and share your news with the relevant ones; this will give you more exposure and in turn more followers as welland now that Linkedin has introduced the like button, if you start liking news from others, you will get like in return too

  • Constant sharing of your link in all your other social media endeavors and your email signature will be very helpful.

  • Thank you.
