What do I say to connections who are direct messaging me on LinkedIn and want to meet in person, but they're not really telling me what the suggested meeting is about?

I don't really have time to meet in person, but I don't really know what to say to kindly let them down.

How do I use advanced search filters on LinkedIn? 

How do I know what to search for?

Why do my posts have less reach than yours on LinkedIn?

Why does LinkedIn even send people your posts?

Do second degree connections come into play when considering how much reach your post gets?

So how do you use templates for comments on LinkedIn to actually save time?

Most people think that you have to, you know, come up with comments on the fly and you only have five minutes to engage each day. What do you do?

What is the number one keyword that you want to rank for?

One of the benefits of using LinkedIn Premium is that you can actually see who viewed your profile. That, I think, is the most important reason why people should pay. It's kind of like caller ID, so for example, I had 14,311 people that saw my profile in the past 90 days, my goal is to have 1,000 people see my profile every single week, that's my goal.

Could you imagine if you knew exactly every human being that came to your website, who they were, where they worked, what they did for a living? And if they are an ideal client for you?

And that's really the key, posting, engaging, and messaging daily.

One of my recent articles is "Not Sure What To Say in the Comments? Want Dozens of Ideas for Comments That You Can Build?" So just have a list, and here's what I tell people.

"Following this, I appreciate your post, "Yes, it's valuable."

I've never had anybody get mad at me for tagging them in posts on LinkedIn because I do it in a classy way. I tag people that are in my photos.I tag people that have relevant opinions to share. I tag people who I'm showing gratitude towards or that have left me a testimonial.

When you tag people that you actually have a relationship with, it's not a problem.
