Jobseekers, recruiters, and sales professionals often use LinkedIn Premium accounts to their advantage, but what’s the appeal?

The ability to see who is viewing your profile for the last 90 days.

However, once a member understands the use case for the upgrade, the benefits are many, but some are more valuable than others.

So much can be achieved by doing the basics properly, before considering the upgrade. They have neither optimised their profile nor engage with their desired audience. Many people jump in to subscribing to Premium without having maximised the potential of the free account. If you’re not maximising the free version of LinkedIn, then probably NO, it’s NOT worth paying for LinkedIn Premium.

I am asked these questions every week at some point during my training sessions. Is upgrading to LinkedIn Premium worth it? How would upgrading to LinkedIn Premium benefit me?
