How to Ask a Question
To access the LinkedIn Answers feature, go to the
navigation bar located in the upper left corner of
the page. Click on Answers and a drop-down box
will appear. To post a question, select Ask a
Question. You'll be taken to another page where
you have several items to complete and selections
to make.

Suggestions
First, write a succinct question. Keep it short and
to the point. No rambling paragraphs or long sen-
tences. If you want more people to read it and
respond, keep your questions highly focused.
Your questions should be knowledge-based, not
about connecting with other people. If you ask a
question that enables someone to share their ex-
pertise, they will do that more freely. However, it is
doubtful they will bother if you are only asking a
question that is looking for them to connect you
with someone else.
