tips Linkedin guide for domainers

[Rob84]

Hello Pros,

I would like to ask: how can contact with possible end users via Linkedin?

As I can see I can only send IN messages when I have paid membership and even if I pay for the membership I can send only 20-30 messages per month...

Should I send a connection invitation with my offer?

Keep the hints coming.

Thanks in advance!

I haven't done it, but I am skeptical.
First of all, if you are a member on some social network, you probably don't want solicitations from strangers trying to peddle their merchandize. If they report you, your account might be terminated.
Is there anything special with Linkedin ? It's just one way of reaching decision makers.
I think it's just throwing away more money imho.

What does Linkedin's TOS say?

As I remember I saw a funny picture (or gif) here on NP about domaining and LinkedIn.

There stated that it can be very useful for end user search.

I have just found this:

"
Linkedin works great because you can search for people by location and keywords. Simply log into Linkedin and type similar related keywords to pull up some potential end users.

Ex. The domain you own is BostonDivorceLawyers.com

Search for related keywords like:

• Boston lawyers
• divorce lawyer boston
• boston divorce
• attorney in boston divorce
• boston attorney

Select the location on the left hand side to further sort the results. The best part about this strategy is you know the person’s name and where they work. Now, head over to Google and find their contact information. When you send your emails, personalize them with the information you found on Linkedin."

Just like anything else use it with caution. Linked is geared for networking BUT also at the same time you got to be careful. it is better to join a group first then blind email.

So for the above you can join the Boston Lawyer Group. if it is an open group you are in but it could be closed only by invite only. I started my own before and it can work.

use Linked in as a stepping stone to yourself. Dont go on there and spam people. You will never be taking serious again there for those actions.
