I went to this person’s profile and I found this exact same post multiple times.

What does this post tell her audience about her?
She’s desperate.

How can she build relationships with posts like this?
She can’t. It’s obvious that she doesn’t want to build relationships, she just wants numbers.

If people go to her profile and they see the exact same posts over and over again, does that leave a favorable impression on prospective connections?
No, she just wants numbers.

Have you seen posts like this? Do you connect with them?

I don’t, I’m here to build relationships. I’m here to meet people and build my business. It’s a professional network. For me, it’s not about desperate measures and begging.

Why are you here on LinkedIn?
