Dotty Scott warns against using third-party automation tools or Chrome extensions on LinkedIn. They can trigger account warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent shutdowns. Native scheduling is fine, but everything else breaks LinkedIn's rules.
Correct. So let me say this. Never, never, never, never, never automate. Did I make that clear? Automate your responses or automate what? Anything on LinkedIn. Your responses, your posting. Don't automate it. Now, that doesn't mean scheduling is automating, isn't it? LinkedIn has scheduling now, so it's okay. Oh, right. Don't put extensions. Chrome extensions or link on your LinkedIn. Don't do it. I didn't even know they had any. Oh, they do. Oh, believe you me, they do. Um, it is— you will be detected now if you are using automation, and they frown on that. Yeah, by that I mean like, um, let's say you've signed up for one of these services that says, um, you know, 100 new leads a week on LinkedIn and we do it all for you. I get those messages all the time. Never, ever, ever do that. First of all, you're going to get in trouble. It may not happen immediately, but you will get in trouble. And in trouble means at the best case scenario, a warning. But you might actually get put in what we refer to as LinkedIn jail, where you're suspended for a month. Mm, yeah, you can't use it for a month. Imagine, right? And kill me for sure. And then, and a whole lot of other people, right? I mean, we're all on here trying to get new business, and a month is a month. That's a long time. And worst case scenario, if they really didn't like your violation, right, then they can shut you down. And I know people that has happened to, and they have to start— you have to start all over again.
