Changing your premium profile to "open"
If you have a premium account on Linkedin you can change your settings so that other members can contact you at no cost, WITHOUT using Inmail by changing your profile to "Open"
Firstly you'll need to display your "premium" profile badge by taking the following steps:
1 Click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.
2 Click View Profile.
3 Click the Edit icon to the right of the more button
4 On the gold LinkedIn logo in the top left of the pop-up window, click the Edit icon.
5 Next to Premium Profile Badge, switch the toggle to the right to display the Premium profile badge on your profile and next to your name in search results. Switch the toggle to the left to hide the Premium profile badge.
6 Click the Save button.
Once you've done that you'll then need to make sure you can accept open profile messages:
from your profile:
1 Click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.
2 Click View profile.
3 Click the Edit icon to the right of the more button
4 In the Edit intro pop-up window, click the Dropdown icon next to the gold LinkedIn logo.
5 In the dropdown that appears, switch the toggle next to Open Profile to allow anyone on LinkedIn to contact you directly, even if they aren't connected with you.
6 Switch the toggle to the left to disable this setting.
7 Click Save.
from the settings page:
1 Click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.
2 Select Settings & Privacy.
3 Click the Communications tab at the top of the page.
4 Under the Preferences section, click Change next to Messages from members and partners. Note that you can also change the settings to receive inmails and sponsored inmails here as well
5 Below Allow Open Profile messages?, switch the toggle to the right to allow anyone on LinkedIn to contact you directly, even if they aren't connected to you.
6 Switch the toggle to the left to disable this setting.
This does obviously increase the chances of people contacting you to sell you stuff you don't need BUT more importantly it also increases the chances of potential clients contacting you - as they no longer have to connect or use up their inmail allowance to do so
Easy!
