Linkedin Warm Up

Warm up new accounts before using them to their full potential
Linkedin Warm Up

What? You thought you could just fire up a new account and get started with mass selling and outreach?

No, that’s not how it works. Just like any new email account, new Linkedin accounts need to be warmed up before using it at its full potential.

Let’s say you create a new LinkedIn account, fire up your favorite LinkedIn automation tool (like Expandi) and get to work on generating those leads.

Here’s what’s going to happen:

At first, you start connecting to only 1-2 people per day manually, and then, through the power of automation, you shoot up those numbers to 100+ people per day. This will be a HUGE trigger for LinkedIn, and most likely, they will easily detect and flag your account.

Why?

Simply because this does not seem natural and screams non-human behavior.

LinkedIn limits depend greatly on whether or not your account is warmed up and if you have Premium Account or not.

So, to ensure that your account is safe and sound before you get to skyrocketing your social selling and outreach, we’re going to first set some daily limits within your actions.

To ensure your LinkedIn connection requests are NOT spam-y, we recommend keeping them under a certain number, until your account is warmed up.

Something like…

  • 1-5 days – 10 connection requests per day. 📈
  • 5-10 days – 20 connection requests per day. 📈
  • 15-20 days – 30 connection requests per day. 📈
  • 20-25 days – 50 connection requests per day. 📈

And so on, and so on – you get the message.

Keep those suggested settings for about two weeks and monitor your account.

Then, after two weeks or so, you can start increasing the number of connection requests, once your account is warmed up.

As a rule of thumb, we would NOT recommend sending more than 250 connections per day. To keep things in perspective, try to aim your connection requests for around 3-5% (magic number) of your total LinkedIn connections.

So, let’s say I have around 2,000 connections – I would aim for around 80 connection requests per day.

Remember, safety is a priority here. It’s better to keep things slow and steady thank to risk your account getting banned.

If you’re sending too many requests – you will lose your account. But if you’re not sending enough – you won’t see enough results. It’s all about finding the right balance.

If you have a free LinkedIn account – we recommend sending up to around 50 connection requests per day, once your account is warmed up.

And if you LinkedIn Sales Navigator (Premium Account) – it might be around 70-90 connection requests per day.
