Apparently LinkedIn Users Are Rich. Why The Service Is Dead For Me

  • Andersen Analytics conducted a research breaking down LinkedIn’s members. Apparently they are rich.
  • Users with personal incomes between $200,000 and $350,000 were seven times more likely than those below that level to have over 150 LinkedIn connections.
  • Nearly 60% of users have incomes of $93,000 or more.
  • Executives make up about 28% (average income $104K), 30% are “saavy networkers” (average income $93K), and light or newer users had incomes of $88K or lower
  • I personally don’t use LinkedIn anymore. I know my network of people and quite frankly don’t want to show it online nor do I need to. I have all of their e-mail addresses, phone numbers and addresses (yes, we meet offline sometimes). For me, it’s the best way to go about things as someone not in a sales position. It has become downright annoying and it’s losing its core due to large growth. Who is killing it? Recruiters, salespeople, ‘over-connectors’, spammers and neurotic ‘recommend me requests’
