Why You Must Upgrade your LinkedIn Account?

Do you have a free account on LinkedIn? Did you consider upgrading to a paid account?, Did you wonder if it's worth?

There are several options to choose from. What would be best for you?

This article will explain what are the additional features you would earn given a useful account pagode LinkedIn.

1. InMail

A InMail is simply an email that can be sent to any user of LinkedIn, whether they are on your network or not. Before you say, "Why not call and get the email address of the person and use it for free?" LinkedIn InMails feature works much better. In fact, LinkedIn states that InMails is 30% more effective than any other email.

Most successful is because unlike email, the person to whom you are sending mail immediately know that you are part of the LinkedIn community and the receiver can also simply click on their name and check it very quickly. If they like what they see, may respond favorably.

The really great thing here is that if you do not receive a response within 7 days, get the credit back into your account, where you can stay for up to 90 days. In fact, you get a refund.

I've used very successfully InMails and I think the secret to get it is that you can see important content and be yourself. You may just want to send a message of congratulations to a CEO who just won the Entrepreneur of the Year award, or some other small piece that has collected in the news.

At the end can put a last line to say something like "Now you know I exist, if you ever need help (based on your industry), you know where I am." All we're trying to do is to put on your radar obrservación for the future, so try not to overdo it! Remember that very easily with the click of your profile can see they are doing.

2. Profile Organizer (see more candidates when you do a search)

This is a great tool if you are doing a lot of research on LinkedIn. Ideal for recruitment, or simply for exploration. They can also create folders and add the profiles to
them.

You do not have to re-run a search and ask where are the search results, and profiles the organizer also lets you take notes and add the contact details visible only to you about each profile. When you go to the organizer of profiles, will be able to view messages sent as well as notes and folders that are inside.

3. Premium Search Filters

With the update, you can find exactly what you are looking for in half the time, see his full profile and then make contact via InMail. With the free version, your search is much more limited and restricted. They may be time to check through each profile to the criteria you are looking for.

4. Search Profiles. 

 

With a pro account, get up to 1000 search results. This is quite useful if you use LinkedIn. In the free version, you get a maximum of 100 search results, even if there are thousands to choose from, and LinkedIn automatically brings people in your network. On net, I mean the first, second and third connection. The search function search profiles outside the network if necessary.

5. Save Search Alerts

Another feature that can be configured is when someone changes their job role or join LinkedIn and is consistent with the criteria you are looking for, he immediately receives an email. Like a Google Alert, simply receive the information in your email.

6. Making Presentations to Companies that interest you

This function is available with the free account as well, but with the update, you can have 50 applications pending at the same time presentations. These presentations allow you to send a message to someone that is not connected, through someone who is connected. You can write a note to the person they are trying to contact (person A), and write a separate note to the person you want to convey (person B). The good news is that Person B can see what you want her to transmit to the person A, and decide if she is happy to do it or not. Person B then has the option of sending or reject it.

You can send a presentation to people in their network of second and third grade. The only thing I like about this is that the message box does not appear in your regular email (ie Outlook), only appears in your inbox on LinkedIn. So you need to visit your LinkedIn email regularly.

7. Profile Stats. 

 

I like this as it gives a good insight into how people are finding you. You can see who visited your profile (if not chosen to be known as "anonymous user"), keywords used to find your profile and the number of times they appeared in the search. That's very good to know, because you know that things can change your profile to be found faster.

8. Expanded view is sometimes possible to do a search and return results to PRIVATE. This happens when the person you're looking for is outside the network. Even with the updated version, you will not get to see extended profiles worldwide on LinkedIn.

What you're going to get is the full name of the third degree type connections, while users with free accounts will first see only the name of your contact from third grade and last initial. You can not always see the full name of those people outside the network unless you are looking through his name.

One solution is to search Google's current position information, and frequently are likely to find an answer. They can then find the person in the usual way and send a InMail LinkedIn.

9. Open Link 

 

Another option to consider is whether to use the Open Link icon or not. In my profile I want people to contact me. So by having this little gift icon, allows any user of LinkedIn can contact me without having to use an introduction or InMail one, so it is free and easy to do. These are the characteristic that would be added if your account updated. There are different types of plans. If you want to know how to update your account, follow these steps:

1) Enter into your LinkedIn account,

2) Next go to the "Update Your Account" and then they will find all the plans.
