Yes, this is what you want to do - once it's uploaded then you can tick who you want the invitation to go out to. Make sure you only invite those who know you personally, not just casual contacts or people who have emailed you at some time, but with no personal connection. If you get 5 IDKs (I don't know's) marked against you, your ability to invite people will be suspended for awhile so you don't want to do that. I think I've had about 3 so far. I've been an active member for about 14 or 15 months and have over 8 million connections third level now. I haven't asked all my first connections to connect - many of them invite me, so I've not used up all my invitation yet either.
