Hi [name], It was awesome meeting you during the lunch break at [event] this weekend and talking about our favourite college admissions websites. I remember you were discussing how much you were hoping to re-launch your website’s social media platforms but weren’t sure where to start and wanted some putside input. If you still want some help, I’d love to be of assistance. Let me know if this interests you, and feel free to contact me at [email address]. Hope you are having a great weekend!

Hi Ms Herman, My name is [name[, and I run a student-run website called [blog name] that seeks to empower young women to follow their dreams. I’ve been following The Prospect for quite some time now, and it’s amazing to see how much it has grown over the past several months. The Prospect really is an inspiration for my website, and I was wondering if you had any tips for growing your team while keeping the content quality up? We’re hoping to expand soon and could really use some pointers. Thanks so much, and congrats again for running such a gret website! Best, [Name] [Email address]

LINKEDIN - ETIQUETTE
1. Don’t send a mass request for recommendations and endorsements
2. No personal updates, cat pictures, or “thoughts and prayers.”
3. Funny’s OK; tasteless isn’t
4. Personalize connection requests and other points of contact
5. It might be time to update that photo
6. Be accurate with your work info
7. Avoid oversharing
8. Do you have to personally know every person you connect with?
