Linkedin Automation/ Hashtags??

When it comes to Instagram I know which tools I can use. Both for hashtags, posting and growing accounts.

But what about linkedin? To be honest I never put any time in learning about it. But I do realise that linkedin can be a good source for getting business/ clients.

Are there tools that can really automate growing your linkedin account or accounts? Unlike Instagram where you can't posts blogs/ articles can this be done on linkedin automatically?

Can you follow, well connect with people based on interests, likes, geo locations etc on linkedin automatically?

Do people have experience with this? Growing their own or clients linkedin profiles/ accounts?

If you google hashtag tools you will find a bunch of them. Both good and not so good tools. But for linkedin I can't find any.

Thoughts? Ideas? Experiences?

Thanks!

LinkedIn automatically suggests the connections based on geo location and / or professional field of existing connections. I'd suggest you to first "warm up" the account by manually adding the appropriate connections, and then use some automation tool such as Linked Helper.
