LinkedIn™️ Connection Invites for Beginners

First impressions count, here's how to get it right from the moment you ask someone to connect on LinkedIn™️.

Hey there, I'm looking for a workaround to LinkedIn's personalized message limit. I'm currently facing a month-long wait between sending personalized connection requests, which is significantly hindering my outreach. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm aware of the premium option, but I'm wondering if there's a way to access this feature without committing to the full monthly fee. Any insights would be helpful.

Great question @s.c342! There is but it takes a LOT longer and won't be the easy answer I suspect you're looking for. The workaround is to ensure people know who you are before you send a message. That way it doesn't matter so much if your invite has no message (although it'll never be as successful as adding one). That requires a sustained campaign of commenting on their posts in a value-added way prior to approaching them. Some people ask for a connection in those comments but I don't advise that. The problem with this approach is: what do you do if they don't post content you can comment on? And that one I don't have an answer for. Except to bite the bullet and buy Premium. Because don't forget that you get a mass of other excellent profile features with it. I recommend to all my clients that they buy it because it really is worth it.

@@LinkAbilityNZ thank you for taking the time to reply. I’m currently not in the job market, but I want to ensure that I have a strong network if I ever am. I’ll try commenting and seeing how that goes.
