This process will allow you to work with your contact list in a different format and make it easier to organize everything regarding linkedin export.

What are LinkedIn Connections?

LinkedIn's connections are a way to connect with other LinkedIn users. When you add someone as your connection, they will have the option of accepting or declining your request. If they accept, you will be connected with them on LinkedIn, and their information will show up in your account (you can learn more about your LinkedIn profile here). You can connect with people you know or in your field of work. One thing to note is that when adding a connection on LinkedIn, you are not sharing your information with them or updating their profile.

How do I export my LinkedIn connections?

To export your connections from LinkedIn, log in and click on "Settings" at the top right-hand corner of the screen. Once there, scroll down until you see "Download Your Connections." Clicking this link should prompt a pop-up box where you can view all your connections. To save as an Excel file, click on "Export." You will then be prompted to save the file. After you have exported your connections, you will download them as an Excel file or a CSV file that opens in Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet program.

The first column of this data contains email addresses for each connection that you exported from LinkedIn. In contrast, the second column contains their title and company name if they are available in your profile information.

Why export your connections?

There are a few reasons why you might want to export your LinkedIn connections:

● You would like to link them with another email platform.

● You have many connections, and you want to get organized by emailing them individually or in smaller groups (you can sort your contacts by company or industry).

● Not only that, but you want to keep track of who has opened and clicked on the links in your email campaigns (you can sort by who has opened and clicked using Excel).

● Likewise, you would like to keep track of your connections for a particular campaign in which you are sending out emails to all of them at once.

What you should know before exporting your connections?

If you are exporting your LinkedIn connections, there are a few things that you should know before doing so:

● The only emails that will be exported are those belonging to your connections.

● Your email list will not include Gmail or Yahoo users since these accounts are not linked to LinkedIn.

● Their name, company, and profile picture will not be exported since this information is private.

Conclusion

If you don't want your connections on LinkedIn for former employees and classmates to disappear forever, export them. We hope you've found this helpful and informative.
