does not look spammy. Period.

What on Earth is the Point of LinkedIn SEO?
Here’s how:
● The next time someone asks you: “Have you got a business card?”
● Respond with :
“No I don’t. Reason being is:

2) I like keeping everything digital. Hence, go on LinkedIn and type in
[keyword] and you will see my profile at the top. Let’s connect!
● This is powerful for the following reasons:
○ Instant Authority Positioning.
○ Leveraging off LinkedIn’s trust and brand equity.
