Best way to apply for LinkedIn jobs
LinkedIn being the most preferred job hunt platform. The best and sureshot way to secure job via LinkedIn is by:

I'll do one better - warm DM. This means you actively try to network and engage with peers and leaders in your area so that when it comes to a job search you're not just one of 100 other candidates asking for a referral or a profile consideration.

Great and insightful!

To send DMs to non-connected people, one needs "Inmail Credits" which in regular LinkedIn is not provided. Upgrade to LinkedIn Premium (6m/1yr plan) at discounted rates Reach out on WA www.tinyurl.com/contact-innobrain
-
Contribute by sharing your knowledge in forms of posts, articles, commenting on stuff shared by others, answering ai-generated questions related to your skillsets, etc.
-
Try to network more by joining active groups/communities.
-
Create a GitHub portfolio and add it to your LinkedIn.
-
Combine these 3 with what Gupchup suggested, then you will be in a good place IMO.
Please note that these things will take time, don't be in a hurry or blind race to gain as many
connections/followers possible in a very short time; the ways to do that are messy with chances of losing your credibility.
So focus instead on the long term game by gradually building your profile.
