Have you ever even thought about what would happen if you no longer had access to all those people you have added in your LinkedIn “Rolodex”?

Neither did I, until recently.

We always hear about backing up our computers but you probably haven’t backed up any of your Social Media sites.

Here’s a quick overview on how to save your LinkedIn Contacts to an Excel File:

STEP 1:  Click “Contacts” then “Connections”

STEP 2: Very bottom right hand corner is a small link that says  “Export Connections”

 

 

STEP 3: Simply Export to: (whichever file you wish) and click “Export”

Then be sure to save your Excel file in a safe place.

Perhaps on your backed-up computer?!
