Summary of How to Remove Connections on LinkedIn in Bulk Now & Why?!

The video presents a streamlined, automated method to remove LinkedIn connections in bulk, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a lean and relevant network for better content visibility on LinkedIn’s evolving algorithm.

Key Financial/Business Insights and Trends:

• LinkedIn’s Algorithm Shift: LinkedIn has transformed into an "interest graph," similar to platforms like Instagram and TikTok, prioritizing content relevance and engagement over mere network size.
• Importance of a Lean Network: Keeping connections tightly aligned with your target audience increases the likelihood that your content will be shown to a wider audience, enhancing organic reach and engagement.
• Targeted Network Pruning: Removing irrelevant or non-strategic connections (e.g., financial advisers if that’s not your target market) helps maintain a focused professional network.

Methodology for Bulk Removing LinkedIn Connections:

1. Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator:
   • Filter your first-degree connections.
   • Search for irrelevant connections by keyword (e.g., “Financial”).
   • Exclude personal contacts by filtering out connections from schools or other personal affiliations.
2. Copy the Filtered URL:
   • Use the filtered LinkedIn Sales Navigator URL for the next step.
3. Use Link Helper Tool:
   • Create a new campaign titled “delete” in Link Helper.
   • Select the option to remove first-degree connections.
   • Paste the copied URL to import the filtered connections into the campaign.
4. Review and Refine the List:
   • Manually skim through the imported connections to ensure no important contacts are mistakenly included.
   • Remove any key contacts from the deletion list.
5. Start the Campaign Runner:
   • Launch the automated process to remove connections gradually (approximately 150 per day) to avoid LinkedIn limits or flags.
   • Let the tool run over several days until the unwanted connections are removed.

Benefits:

• Saves significant time compared to manual removal.
• Ensures a targeted, high-quality LinkedIn network.
• Improves content visibility and engagement on LinkedIn.
