Swom Tips & Tricks

“Discover how to get your connection request accepted quickly… by the Most Active Swom Members!!!”

I’ve been reading lots of questions in Swom Open University and Dashboard about how to get more connections quickly.

Some offered good tips however, I am saddened by the fact that there were some who responded and offered help to get thousands of connections but don’t have thousands of connections themselves.

There were also some good strategies being shared and their system will let you send thousands of connection requests in a short period of time. Undeniably, it is a good, smart system however based on personal experience the rate of acceptance is very low. This is because the method is done using the shotgun method… or making connections without qualifying who you are connecting with.

There were also those who shared automation software, but Swom categorically discourage automated software to be used in swomming activities. Click here to read my other post regarding automated software.

With this, I decided to share what I believe could help swom members get connections faster with higher percentage rate of acceptance.

I’ve been applying this in my own and I found out that the only best way to get a higher connection acceptance rate is to connect with the MOST ACTIVE MEMBERS in Swom.

If you have a business to offer, it is also beneficial to connect with these members because they are very active and they know what they are doing. If you can get them into your business, it’s like hitting the jackpot.

If you are new to Swom or to internet marketing, you can learn from these members by studying their ways and methods of running their businesses. They are also very responsive and they entertain your questions. So to start, I highly recommend connecting with these members first.

Determining the Most Active Members

For now, the only way I can determine the most active members is based on their points and number of contacts.

So I made a list of those that are very active based on that presumption.

You can get the link on this list below, but first read the instructions on how you can rapidly connect with these members using the Tab batching method as outlined in the procedures below.

Rapid Connection Requests Procedure

This method is basically not automation software as discouraged by SWOM rather this method uses FireFox Browser..

If you don’t have a Firebox browser you can download for free at http://firefox.com

Step #01: Login to your Swom account using the Firefox browser.

Step #02: Create another tab by clicking the + sign in the Tab bar of the Firefox browser.



Step #03: Open the Most Active Member’s List: Click here to open the Most Active Members’ list.
You can navigate and choose a page using the navigation links at the bottom of the list.

Step #04: Batch Connection. To connect with them in one batch, move the mouse to the member you wish to connect and then click the middle button of your mouse. (push it down and release, do not scroll). Perform this to each of the members you wish to connect with.

If your mouse doesn’t have a middle button, hold CTRL key (do not release) on the keyboard and then left the mouse on each of the names of the members you wish to connect.

You will notice multiple pages are opening at the same time, with different tabs. Wait for some time to load all those open pages.

Step #05: Click the first open tab.

Step #06: Press the function key F3. In the Find box, type “connect with”.





This should bring you to the yellow box that says Connect with (Name of Member) . Click the link to connect.



Step #07: Go to the next tabs and repeat step #06 until the last tab.
Step #08: Close all the tabs except the Swom page and the Most Active Members List page.

Step #09: Repeat Step #04 – Step #08.

That’s all folks! Hope this procedure will help you get more connections with active swom members quickly.

Hope it helps! Have fun swomming!
