From personal experience the sheer number of ur connections is just the starting point nd does not necessarily hold peoples attention. In fact small networks can often create more meaningful dialogue than large ones. It seems that quality engagement nd connection r more important than quanttity.

Yes it can help you with more exposure, however, you also need to post interesting stuff for your niche audience, so it can get reshared and get traction.

Yes
you can say that but 1 strong connection is better than 100 trash connections.

Having more connections can boost your profile's visibility and increase the likelihood of attracting profile visitors. Additionally, actively engaging with the community plays a key role in building credibility and expanding your reach.
In my view it is the number of ur connections that gives ur material an opportunity to be seen initially but what counts at the end of the day is interaction with urr material. It seems like thought out messages nd actual conversations had more influence on visibility than exppanding my connections.

I think more connections can help, but only if they are real and active. Quality is better than just having a big number.

I've had a lot of connections on my seasoned LinkedIn account, but it's content that gets views and interactions that throttled the profile views.
The visitors searching will most likely have one particiular question that they are looking for, so you must find a way to get them coming back by giving them a reason other than just answering their question. i have seen better success when my content has a proper topic clustering, and a path to follow.
From my experience building ones network can lead to increased visibility for the content posteed but it does not ensure increased reach. For me the most succesful posts have been those which have led to discussions regardless of my number of connections. It seems like quality interactions matter more than increasing the no. of connection.
I feel that the relationships have a greater effect on distribution rather than visibility itself. a larger network may provide a boost for the content to get out there initiailly, but it is all wastage if they are not connected with the content or do not engage in it.

I think quality connections are better than random ones. Connect with people who are interested in your niche.

While having more connections will help you achieve the initial outreach, that does not mean you will have visibility. In my experience, it was sometimes the case where small networks beat big networks in terms of relevance of the audience and willinginess to interact with their content.

I think having more connections will help increase your profile's visibility and expose it to a larger audience.
