I have decided to extend myself and make intros to people in my network. Can anyone give me their thoughts on whether LinkedIn Premium (for email) is really worth it? And if it helped it connect with people more.

I added Premium some years ago when I was in job seeker mode, and I’ve kept it ever since - not just for InMail, but also to help me research potential bosses, colleagues, clients, etc. it’s been very useful for me and for helping out friends. Suggest trying it for a year.

Ok, thank you so much for your reply. It was thoughtful and helpful, as that is what I am looking to use it for, especially as I am looking in a new city. But I haven't found it super useful in the past. So, I thought I'd check with others if they found it helpful. :)

InMail is semi useless. It lets you send messages to anyone but often places those messages in a secondary inbox that most people don’t check.

I have it for “who viewed my profile” reasons since I’m a freelancer so extra stalking can be good, plus I can write it off as a business expense. I can’t definitively say if it’s worth it - it depends on what you’re after - but I’ll say it’s not a no brainer at $40/mo

InMail has actually cost me dialogue with recruiters as a freelancer b/c I message them thinking they’ll definitely get it but they miss it entirely. I might advise staying non premium. Sending connection requests, then once they’re a connection, grab their email address from their contact info and email them directly with more context on why you wanted to chat

Sorry it eas meant to say inmail not email
