LinkedIn has also tried to set clear parameters for what is and isn’t accepted.
“No network marketing or MLM (multi-level marketing) may be promoted in this forum. This is not the forum for this type of business. NO SPAM or DIRECT SALES PITCH ARE ALLOWED. ”
Joining the LinkedIn Partner Community group gives you a head start and competitive edge.
