When you create your LinkedIn account, you must first can add people you know in real life. LinkedIn on its own suggests people who share college or school with you.

Else, if you click the Connect button only, your invite will be sent automatically, and you won’t be able to personalize it.

Many a times you will see that a LinkedIn user doesn’t have an immediate Connectbutton on their profile. This happens because of two reasons:

• They have the creator mode on;
• Or they set the Follow button as primary via their Settings & Privacy page. 

So you will have to click the More button and then Connect option from the drop-down menu.

3) Personalize your message

First,  build your network by creating real relationships. Second, lessen the chances of people ignoring, declining, and checking the “I don’t know this person” button. If you get many refusals it can result in LinkedIn account restriction, as LinkedIn might think you’re a spammer.
