How to Join a Linkedin Group
It’s a very simple process to join a Linkedin Group. Start by clicking on the Group Button on the left hand side of your profile page in Linked. You will be shown three options:
- My Groups
- Following
- Group Directory
- Create a Group
If you are not a part of any Group, select the Group Directory. You will then be taken to a search box that allows you to search the many groups that already exist. For each group you will be given a description, the number of people in the group and how long it has been in existence. To start, choose two groups that you want to join.
When you click on a Group to join, you will be taken to a screen that will ask you several questions. These include, whether you will display the group’s logo; your email address; how often you want to be notified about digests of the group’s activities; allowing members to send you direct messages and a general consent form for participating in the group.
You can then send a message to the group leader telling them why you would like to participate in the group. You will then await, usually a day or so to be accepted into the group.
Once accepted you can now see previous group discussions, learn about the people in the group and initiate and participate in discussions.
Creating Your Own Linked Group
Here’s the form you must complete to create your own Linkedin Group. Once you complete this form, you will submit it to Linkedin and they will review your request for creating a group.
