🛑 IMPORTANT NOTE! 🛑 Please use a DUMMY ACCOUNT when adding so many contacts!!! DO NOT use your personal account to avoid being flagged by LinkedIn!!! In this tutorial we will build a connecting bot with Python & Selenium! We will send connection invitations to as many LinkedIn members as we choose with nearly 0 effort on our end and a 100% automation! By the end of this tutorial, you will have your own connecting bot and if you choose to combine it with my commenting bot from part 1 & part 2 of this project - you'll have an even more powerful growth marketing tool!
