Groups on LinkedIn are unfortunately a very under-deveopled and over-utilized feature. LinkedIn, however, does provide a unique link for each group. You can access it from the following path:
Groups -> My Groups -> Manage -> Invite Members
You will see something like this:
-------------------------
Invite Members
To invite new members, send out an email invitation with the link to join your group.
http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/2342/3423ASD3432
Important: You should pre-approve people to join your group before you send out the email invitation.
----------------------
Just copy and paste the link above to this thread. You DO NOT have to pre-approve people. Anybody who clicks on the link puts in a request to join and sit in a queue waiting for your approval. You can access the list by clicking on "Requests to Join"
Hope this helps!
- tandaraho 19y agoAnother suggestion regarding the LinkedIn process: Since Groups and Associations can be publicly available, I would rather not post my YC-handle there. Rather, when a user makes a request to join, LinkedIn allows them to send a msg to the group manager. It would be better if we can use that to let you know of our YC-handle so you can figure out the real requests from the SPAM requests.
- wheels 19y agoI didn't have that option when joining a group recently, feel free to send me a message as an alternative (or even email, if you feel so moved). I just want some means of filtering for folks that are actually participating in the news.YC community.
