Grow Your Linkedin Profile Faster w/ “Auto Follow” Links
Most people have links to their social media accounts all over the place:
- Website navbars, footers, blog posts
- Other social media accounts
- Linktrees
- etc.
And if you do, great — but you’re missing out on some easy wins.
Because you’re probably linking like this:

Do this instead: 👇
Instead of linking directly to your Linkedin profile URL..
Use a “follow link” so the user gets automatically prompted to follow to you when the page loads!
How to make a Linkedin “Follow Link”
There are 2 ways to get this link:

Part 2: The new sub-directory path

Part 3: The query parameter
?usecase=PEOPLE_FOLLOWS&followMember=
Part 4: Your username
