How To Avoid LinkedIn Restrictions?

All LinkedIn members are subject to invitation limits and restrictions. Having your LinkedIn account restricted can be frustrating and time-consuming. Once your LinkedIn account is restricted, you can no longer add more people to your network or the worst case is LinkedIn would block you from logging in and the only way to resolve the issue is to submit an appeal by sending them an email and proving to them that you do not disobey any rules and regulations. A lot of questions would be asked and if the LinkedIn support is not satisfied with your answer, they could actually block you from logging in to your account again using the email address that you used to log in.

To avoid LinkedIn restrictions, here are the tips to follow in order to avoid any issues;

1. Limit your connection request 

If you're new to LinkedIn, you need to be careful about sending too many connection requests. Best if you send only for a maximum of 10 per day and upload your email contact list would actually be recommended. But if you are already a LinkedIn member for quiet some time and have over 300+ connections, you may add up to 20 per day or 100 per week..

2. Upgrade to Premium or Sales Navigator subscriptions

If you want to grow your network, upgrading to a Premium or Sales Navigator subscription is highly recommended. LinkedIn is a business and as much as possible they wanted members to pay. Upgrading to paid subscriptions has many features and it allows you to add up to more or less 200 per week, depending on your activity on LinkedIn.

3. Don't add 3rd-degree connection if you are a new member on LinkedIn. Add only 2nd degree just to be safe

4. Avoid using automation tools or software to automate your connection request and outreach message campaign. 

5. Limit your outreach message. Avoid being spammy
