Project Description

To ensure an optimal site experience, members can have a maximum of 30,000 1st-degree connections. We recommend that you only connect with individuals you know and trust, as outlined in the LinkedIn User Agreement. As an ongoing practice it would be beneficial for you to manage your connection lists and maintain those that bring you the highest relationship value. Check out more on how to remove connections.

 

While there is a limit to the number of 1st-degree connections you can have, the number of people who can follow you is unlimited. Members who are following you can view, like, or comment on what you share publicly on LinkedIn. Allowing members to follow you is a great way to reach a larger audience. You can also use the “Open Profile Premium” feature to message your followers and Premium members for free, even if you’re not connected.
