Progress: I’m nowhere near my goal of daily outreach. But I’m getting good responses from the connection requests I’ve sent. Because I’m out of profile views and haven’t paid for Premium yet, I started going through the members of local small business groups. I tell them how I came across them, what I like about their current website, and ask if it would be okay to send a few website suggestions along (with quick tips to optimize their home pages). I have a couple people who said they would keep me in mind and that it would be okay to reach back out to them in January, one who passed my name along to a friend who might be interested, and one who scheduled a discovery call.

Hey , @Stefano Curcio. I’ve run into an issue. LinkedIn won’t let me look at any more profiles this month without upgrading to Premium. Any suggestions?

@Naveen R thanks. I'm not just starting out, but I experienced this then as well. I've increased my profile views significantly. I've been using the comments and reactions to find people as well and have worked my way through my ICPs on my profile and people I follow with similar target audiences. At this point, I think I'm going to have to make the leap to Premium. The hours I'm having to spend to find new leads that way is worth more than the monthly cost!

I have one connection that might be a warm lead! I didn’t send as many requests as I wanted to and tried to catch up this weekend. Unfortunately LinkedIn is not happy with the number of profile searches I’ve done. It seems I’ve met my quota until the 1st of next month. Feeling frustrated!

@Stefano Curcio I had a feeling you would say that. Thanks!

My goal is 5-10 per day, with a minimum of 35 per week. My promise is I’ll do outreach on weekends if I don’t make it during the work week. This is normally when I minimize my time of LinkedIn.
