What Are IDK’s?

IDK is short for “I Don’t Know”.  When someone gets an invite and decides they don’t want to connect they can choose to IDK you.  Not exactly sure how bad that is but I do know that if you get too many LinkedIn will make you enter an email every time you try to invite someone.  I have heard LinkedIn can even boot you off if you keep getting IDK’s.  So I try to avoid them.  Other current or future posts will show you different ways I use open networking groups, inmail, and open link to reduce IDK’s.  It’s a little hassle to use these methods but I think it is worth it to not get IDK’ed.

Basically I am just a tax nerd, have been all my life. However I have found the more open you are to opportunities the better off you will be in this world. That makes my what is know as an open networker on Linkedin, I will connect with anyone. I am not an expert on Linkedin by any means but one day when I was asking someone to connect I mentioned that I had just been refilled on invites. My new connect asked how I did that. I used that same line for the next month and got asked the same question four times. I started thinking there was a lot of little things it took my sometime to learn. Through this blog I plan to share some of those "Linked Secrets"
