One Click LinkedIn Invitations

 

NOTE - LinkedIn has updated its site so one click invitations no longer work

Here are a few alternate methods that require the user to do some manual work.

* Link to colleague and classmate page. See QuickLinkInvitations. Requires link encoding by creator and a few clicks by user

* Link to direct invitation. Example - "Send me a LinkedIn invitation at http://www.linkedin.com/inviteMany and enter Marc@MyLinkDaddy.com ." Not a single click. More manual, requires user to cut and paste.

 

One Click LinkedIn Invitations make it easy for other LinkedIn members to connect to you. They're convenient, direct, and automatic for your contacts to use. One Click LinkedIn Invitations use a special LinkedIn web page URL that fills your name and email address in the clicker's LinkedIn connection invitation form.

 

The beauty of the magic invitation URL is that it accomplishes multiple things in one simple click!

  • Goes the LinkedIn web site
  • Visits the Send Invitation page
  • Prefills the form with your name and email address
  • Submit the form

 

Simple directions follow to make your own click invitation URL. They're valid as long as LinkedIn doesn't change the form. :-)

1. Copy it. Right click the following URL and select copy URL or link location

 

http://www.linkedin.com/inviteMany?invite=Send+Invitation%28s%29&firstName%2E0=Marc&inviteeID%2E0=&isMessageOptional=false&greeting=invite+for+you&lastName%2E0=Freedman&salutation=NAME&subject=Join+Me+Now%21&default_cell_count=1&contentTemplateID=std_inv_2e&emailAddress%2E0=marc%40dallasblue%2Ecom

 

2. Edit it. Paste the URL into a text document. In the URL you'll see the following text for my name and email address. Simply substitute your info for mine. Take care that there are no blank spaces and that you do not delete an ampersand or any other characters other than the test you're substituting for.

  • Marc - first name
  • Freedman - last name
  • marc - email address before '@'
  • dallasblue - email domain name
  • com - email top level domain

 

3. Test it. Copy and paste the URL with your info into your browser. You should get a message that you can't invite yourself (or that you have no available invitations to send!)

4. Shorten it. The URL is painfully long. Use http://tinyurl.com/ to create a shorter URL. Or forward a domain or subdomain to it, like http://Invite.MyLinkDaddy.com .

5. Use it. The URL can be used as a text link or attached to a graphic. Put it in your emails, web page, your MyLink500 ** listing, or anywhere you want to invite people to send you a LinkedIn invitation.
