How probable is that to happen when you add someone who didn't know you before?
A great point of realisation is that making new connections and expanding circles in more places is a great approach, but there is a better advantage for your connections when they can see something valuable coming from your connection and that helps them somehow with their day.
Use Social Media apps to share content in Video, photo, written articles.
For example, 15 second inspirational video clip in the morning can uplift 50-100 people who are watching your daily stories. 10 second funny Video clip about Donald saying something funny to "Tim Apple" could Crack a Laugh easing on the hearts of 40-90 of your LinkedIn friends on stressful moment workday on a Friday.

The start of 2019 brings stats with 80% of video content being consumed on social media. This means that almost 8 of 10 people in a household, 80 out of 100 in a neighborhood are using their phones to watch video posts that are shared on social media every day. The two intriguing questions, why do they love to tune into videos so much? why at the moment ?
To answer the first, video is processed 60,000 times faster than text is, it is stored in the long memory bank of our brains and the eye associates information to the brain much more faster when it sees something clear and will always prefer an image over a crowded text or an article with many words.
Why today, because technology had made video accessible to everyone's phone, this means everyone can be interesting enough to capture someone's attention. In 2004 Nokia released their 6230 version and many people were starting to record their own videos with one of the first ever video phone cameras, then Facebook had already started to work on creating the experience of people sharing some content online.
