The 20 minute networking trick that got me a referral in 2 days

I used to spend hours messaging random people on LinkedIn with no results, so I tried sending 3 personalized emails each day instead of 20 generic ones. In two days I had a guy offer to refer me to his company because I mentioned his specific blog post about remote work struggles. Do you think quality over quantity is really the way to go for job hunting, or did I just get lucky here?

Wait, you messaged only 3 people a day and got a referral in 2 days? That's wild because most folks spam hundreds and get zero back. I guess taking time to read someone's blog actually makes them feel seen instead of just another number.
