To advertise yourself, submit a memo detailing your progress.
Leave a personal comment. Make a connection with a person with whom you have a professional interest. Then, visit their profile and see what the other person has to offer. Leave a professional comment about them. If a person is a real estate agent, then say something like, “Jim, thank you for accepting invitation. I like how you are promoting a house on page X.” This will make you stand out and let the person know that you are someone who actually navigates through people’s profile, which means they will want to know more about you.
