message people without paying for a LinkedIn Premium account.<\/p>\n<h2>Message someone on LinkedIn using Open Profiles<\/h2>\n<p>Some LinkedIn users leave their profiles open, meaning anyone can send <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/linkedin-inmail-vs-message-27VdDmirRkAy3ooWcObfCe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">InMails<\/a> to them directly. These are often industry leaders or decision-makers who expect to be contacted.<\/p>\n<p>You can find them manually, but that\u2019s slow. Instead, we recommend you use PhantomBuster&#8217;s <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/automations\/linkedin\/3112\/linkedin-profile-visitor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn Profile Visitor<\/a> to extract a list of people in your target audience. You\u2019ll get a batch of profiles and can filter those open to messages.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have your list, send <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/linkedin-cold-message-7Lx3hzDk272MJA3PBPRf42\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn messages<\/a> that sound like they\u2019re written by a real human. Reference something from their profile, mention a common interest, or ask a smart question.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\ud83d\udca1 Pro tip<\/strong>: If you\u2019re using <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/linkedin-automation-tools-1L3szAI0KSbrHx6HGgNsOn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn automation<\/a>, start small. Think 20 to 30 messages a day. Watch how people respond before scaling.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Message someone on LinkedIn from a shared group<\/h2>\n<p>Most people forget this, but if you\u2019re in the same group as someone, you can directly message them even if you\u2019re not connected. And it\u2019s free.<\/p>\n<p>Join LinkedIn groups where your<a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/guides\/how-to-create-an-ideal-customer-profile-7CMP9JCSTwRXO5pkxRrMkm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> ICP<\/a> is already active. Look for groups with regular posts, recent comments, and decent moderation. Spend a few minutes engaging\u2014like a post, drop a thoughtful comment, and show up.<\/p>\n<p>Then use PhantomBuster&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/automations\/linkedin\/511865799449120\/linkedin-group-member-message-sender\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn Group Member Message Sender<\/a> to pull a list of LinkedIn group members and send messages that reference the group context.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hey [First Name],<\/p>\n<p>I saw your comment in [Group Name] about [Topic]. Loved your take on [Specific Thing].<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been thinking about the same issue lately and figured I\u2019d reach out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No pitch, just connection. That\u2019s usually enough to get a reply.<\/p>\n<h2>Send free messages to event attendees<\/h2>\n<p>If someone is attending the same <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/guides\/linkedin-events-1CoGJrz2UogIbgQiDowuUl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn event<\/a> as you, you can message them for free. This is great for webinars, product demos, conferences, and anything else with a sign-up button.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, many LinkedIn events feature exclusive insights or speakers that are great conversation starters.<\/p>\n<p>Join events your audience is likely to attend. Then run PhantomBuster\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/automations\/linkedin\/5447892918325546\/linkedin-event-guests-export\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn Event Guests Export<\/a> to get a list of attendees.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, reach out with something simple and timely:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hey [First Name],<\/p>\n<p>I saw you\u2019re attending [Event Name]. I\u2019m planning to join the [Specific Session] too.<\/p>\n<p>Thought I\u2019d connect beforehand in case we\u2019re both up for chatting about [Topic].<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>People are generally more open to connecting around shared experiences, and events give you a natural opening.<\/p>\n<h2>Message someone on LinkedIn via mutual connections<\/h2>\n<p>You can\u2019t message <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/what-does-1st-2nd-and-3rd-mean-on-linkedin-4rSdnzI7tkrEaW7dF8uztS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2nd-degree connections<\/a> directly without a Premium subscription. But you can still find a way to do it if you share a mutual connection.<\/p>\n<p>Mutual connections are listed just below their profile picture on their LinkedIn page.<\/p>\n<p>Start by <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/how-to-see-someones-connections-on-linkedin-6viqF7x2xybl8HUzn2T1VT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">identifying someone you both know<\/a>. Then, send that mutual contact a quick message asking if they&#8217;d be open to forwarding your note or making a light intro. Keep it low-effort; they shouldn\u2019t have to write anything themselves.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s not an option, you can still reference the shared contact in your connection invitation. It adds context and increases your chances of getting accepted and starting a conversation later.<\/p>\n<h2>Email some when you&#8217;ve reached your message limit<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, LinkedIn won\u2019t let you message someone. Either you\u2019ve hit your <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/linkedin-limits-2V8Fgi4iLvJSctB2cCCZAL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">weekly limit<\/a> or got a <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/linkedin-automation-tool-warning-7rSXJOYlRS7srufCtQpXrx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn automation warning<\/a>. That\u2019s when emails can be a great alternative.<\/p>\n<p>You can use PhantomBuster\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/automations\/linkedin\/5589386912058181\/linkedin-profile-scraper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn Profile Scraper<\/a> to collect publicly available email addresses from your lead list. Then, filter out irrelevant contacts and focus on people who match your <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/icp-sales-4Y5PMzQITkrrXIr2B6mrMy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ICP<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When you write your email, keep it tight and refer to LinkedIn so it doesn\u2019t feel out of the blue. Mention something from their profile, and clarify why you\u2019re reaching out.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick example:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hi [First Name],<\/p>\n<p>I came across your profile on LinkedIn while researching [Topic] and thought it made sense to reach out directly. I had a quick idea around [Pain Point\/Opportunity] that might be useful for your team.<\/p>\n<p>Would you be open to a short exchange?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Keep a quick log of who you\u2019ve contacted and when, so you can track replies and improve your approach.<\/p>\n<h2>Get a LinkedIn Sales Navigator subscription<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/linkedin-sales-navigator-benefits-34jc9j0H7QY4VeT6e2QovA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sales Navigator<\/a> gives you access to advanced filters, deeper visibility into second and third-degree networks, and more InMail messages.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s helpful if you\u2019re running high-volume <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/linkedin-outreach-guide-4vW19nOsuTZtyKHV1OrBNI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn outreach<\/a> or need to target leads with advanced filters, such as company size, <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/track-job-changes-2y7pzIKqbmT2NqVjJVbMZR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">job changes<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/how-to-identify-buying-signals-6RQMA3x0PxubnTsPhz9urz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">buying signals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you don\u2019t need a paid account (Premium or Sales Navigator) to apply what we covered in this guide.<\/p>\n<p>Messaging Open Profiles, group members, event attendees, or emailing prospects all work perfectly with any <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/linkedin-account-types-13Hn07FgJMjxY61fWNzCDg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn account type<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to personalize LinkedIn cold messages at scale?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re running a <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/linkedin-mass-messaging-5m5X51GpZiwgWAeyIjo3NC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn mass message campaign<\/a>, the key is to make each message feel personal without doing everything manually.<\/p>\n<p>Start by <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/automation\/lead-segmentation-4c4gfgb1VPhGmDnAJLqM3z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">segmenting your leads<\/a> based on role, industry, or recent activity.
