Читать книгу LinkedIn For Dummies - Joel Elad - Страница 24

There’s not much difference between a free account and a paid account on LinkedIn. And the basic (free) account is anything but basic in usage.

Your free account with LinkedIn allows you to use most of LinkedIn’s most popular features, including the following:

 Build a network of connections with no limits on size or numbers.

 Reconnect with any member of the LinkedIn network, provided that he or she knows you and agrees to connect with you.

 Create a professional and detailed LinkedIn profile.

 Give and receive an unlimited number of recommendations.

 Join up to 100 or create up to 30 different LinkedIn groups.

 Perform an unlimited number of searches for LinkedIn members in your extended network of first- and second-degree members plus group members.

If you want to step up to a paid account, some of the main features include these:

 Send a message to anyone in the LinkedIn community — regardless of whether he or she is in your extended network — through an InMail messaging service. (Note: You get a limited number of InMail credits depending on your paid account level.)

 View more LinkedIn profile information of people not in your LinkedIn network when you conduct advanced searches.

 See more LinkedIn network profile information when you conduct advanced searches.

 See who has viewed your profile (if those viewers have not configured their settings to be anonymous when viewing profiles) and how they arrived at your profile.

 Obtain membership in the Open Profile program, which gives you unlimited Open Profile messages.
