Hear conflicting news: What’s more effective, a LinkedIn InMail, or a Connection Request with a Note? Success = Message being seen.

Irrespective of the longer text field for InMails.....

They both essentially land in the same place. People can accept the request and ignore the message though.

I’ve had the same luck with both ways in both directions. If you don’t have a discount for LinkedIn premium then I don’t think it’s worth it. I paid for it for about 5 mos and can’t say it helped that much as I got most of my recent offers from referrals.

No difference at all. If you login to LinkedIn often you may see the 50% discount pop up. You could also go through the process of subscribing then stop, they’ll probably email you a discount.
