LinkedIn has become an invaluable platform for professional networking and communication. However, accessing certain features like messaging without a premium subscription can sometimes be a hurdle. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to message someone on LinkedIn without needing a premium account.
Step 1: Open the Profile
Navigate to the profile of the person you want to message on LinkedIn. You’ll see the “Message” button, which is typically locked and prompts you to try premium for free. But fear not, we have a workaround for this.
Step 2: Find Common Groups
Scroll down on the profile to the section titled “Highlights.” Look for any mutual groups you and the person share. This is crucial for unlocking the messaging feature without premium.
Step 3: Explore Mutual Groups
Click on the mutual group you share with the person. In our example, let’s say it’s the “Dental Sales Professionals” with 50,716 followers.
Step 4: Locate the Person
Within the group, click on “Show All Members.” Then, use the search bar to find the name of the person you want to message.
Step 5: Initiate Message
Once you’ve located the person, click on the “Message” button next to their name within the group. This is where the magic happens – you’ll notice that the message button is now available for free, without the need for a premium subscription.
Step 6: Craft Your Message
Compose your message in the text box provided. You can introduce yourself, mention your mutual interest or connection, and clearly state the purpose of your message.
Step 7: Send Your Message
After proofreading your message, hit the “Send” button. Your message will now be delivered to the intended recipient, all without the need for a premium LinkedIn subscription.
And there you have it! You’ve successfully messaged someone on LinkedIn without premium. We hope this guide has been helpful in leveraging the platform’s features effectively.
