Linked in, but nothing is happening

My current LinkedIn Network is somewhere around 235,000 people out of the 9 million on the network.
WOW. 235,000 people. I wonder if one of them is Kevin Bacon…
That’s great and all, but there is nothing, and I mean nothing meaningful going on as a result of that incredible number.
I have about 10 valid business ideas(and about 100 others that might work) that I don’t currently have time or money to seriously work on. 235,000 people SHOULD be able to help with that, but there is no easy way to recruit help from that huge pool of people.
I can advertise a job opening, but that’s not much help in the pure entrepreneurial space. I can find a classmate, but I don’t really care about that either.
My huge LinkedIn Network which is:
is broken and not working FOR me.
I’m overwhelmed daily by interesting business opportunities that come via LinkedIn. If we define overwhelmed daily as headhunters that want me to sell web hosting and T1s for some telco ;)
If any of your brilliant ideas can be pursued as a side gig we should have lunch. Even if they can’t we should have lunch. I could a lunch out of house soon!
