Do you pay for LinkedIn Premium?

LinkedIn Premium is not cheap. How do you justify paying for it?

If I was doing more cold sales work I'd get it in a heartbeat. Since I'm mostly focusing on content marketing at the moment I'm not using it—Premium doesn't seem to boost your reach at all.
@glipsman Interesting. This makes it different from Twitter, which claims that the blue tick gives you a better reach.

My linkedin account was temporarily restricted and i don't know why
@feichen_ @rupal_saini This is very insightful Rupal. What is a safe connection rate threshold?

Hi Jonni: I did once, but I didn't find it offered much for the price.
@tonib Hey Toni. LinkedIn massively limits its free version now, so there's more (forced) reasons to upgrade these days.
Toni Bruno
@jgani Yes, you're right. I actually made comment to someone the other day that it seems they no longer show you "Who's viewed your profile" when it used to be they only hid the Premium Members. :/

Hey Jonni, yes I do.
@abhishek_ux What do you use it for? How do you justify its cost?

I don’t 😉

I use the free version. It's super expensive for me and I don't use it for sales, so I get all I need from the free version.

I do, but only because my company is paying for that - although to be honest, I don't see many advantages compared with the free version.
@natalia_toth The free version only gives you 5 or 10 free custom messages (when you're connecting with someone new) per month. This is very limiting!
Natalia Toth
@jgani yes, but in my experience, custom messages don't have a big impact on the acceptance rate. My invites without an intro message get accepted anyway

I do it to have the ability to send connection invitations.
Sarah Mooney
I do! it's good for cold outreach.
Julia Engelsmann
I just use the free version
@julia_engelsmann Do you need to write a custom message when connecting? The free version is severely limited...

I don't. Infact, I got my leads on linkedin groups which is very useful!
Milli Sen
Nope. The free version serves my purposes.

Our clients do !

Not really. I was considering at one point, but I didn't really find too much of a value. How about you?
