1. Instead of just sending a connection request to people, send them a personalized note, writing about why you wish to connect with them.

2. Keep your messages crisp and clear. Don’t beat around the bush, get straight to the point. For eg, if you’re seeking guidance for your CS project, make sure that you write what you’re looking for, instead of describing your project idea in-depth.

3. Learn to write follow up messages. If someone doesn’t reply back, after three days write to them again by starting with “hey X, this is just a follow up message…”, but don’t keep putting such messages. 2-3 follow ups are more than enough.

4. Go one step beyond others. Found someone’s YouTube video, twitter thread, linkedin post, newsletter or podcast insightful? Thank them by writing to them on LinkedIn, and establish a meaningful connection.

5. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Always remember that the answer is always a ‘no’ until you ask.
