6 Ways To Show Your Network Some Love

Job It Forward

If you see a job opening, share it with someone in your network you think might be a good fit.  You can send a private message with a link to the opening, or you can just post the opening in your LinkedIn feed for people to see.

Share THEIR Content With YOUR Network

Another easy way to offer value to your connections is to share their content with your network.  If you found a blog post from one of your connections interesting, share it with your network by posting it to your LinkedIn or Twitter feed with a brief blurb.

Share An Article

Sharing an article or video is a great way to start a conversation and/or keep in touch with a contact. Consider this person's industry, interests, and special projects, then share something that's relevant to them. Send your contact a message with the link to the resource and a little bit of context.

Write Them Recommendations

If you've worked with a contact in the past and/or know they have certain skill sets or character traits, write him or her a recommendation.  Your connections will appreciate this gesture greatly, and may even write you one in return! This takes a little more time and thought, but
