Anti-Messages: 5 examples about how to write on LinkedIn without saying anything

Anti-Messages: we’re tempted to describe them as direct messages on LinkedIn, albeit written by the devil. The reason being, mischief, pranks, wickedness, devilry or simply incoherences is quite simply what we sometimes find in our inbox. In this blog you will find some examples. Have a read and reflect on whether you need to be absolved from any guilt or you’re free from sin. Amen..

Messages about the sender, about their product

It might be a personal impression or the way I filter my contacts, but somehow I am under the impression that these messages with a clear commercial bias are increasingly sparse.
Having said that, since it might be just an impression (and feel free to comment about it), let me tell you about them. They are very intrusive messages that sometimes even lack any sort of manners.
Where are the ‘hello’, ‘good morning’, ‘good afternoon’? Nowhere to be seen, the sender launches a speech about their book, film, product or service. Straightaway, without further ado..

Barrage messages

Here I refer more to the form than the content of the message. Let me explain. It’s one of those times when your mobile keeps beeping with 4, 5, 6 notifications from LinkedIn. You have a look and find the same amount of messages, in less than a minute.
What happened? Something simple and easy to avoid. Look at the kebab menu (the three little dots) next to your <write a message> box and select the radio button for <<Click Send – Clicking Send will send message>>. This will stop the return key from pushing a message out every time you press it. 4 or 5 sentences otherwise become a bombardment of messages.
