Is it true that Linkdin initially gives up to 3000 invitation requests and that they put some restrictions on the invitations sent after that ??

Today I received a question from a friend of mine asking me if it true that Linkdin initially gives up to 3000 invitation requests and that they put some restrictions on the invitations sent after that ?? Below is my answer .... Yes its true, which is why invites should be used wisely (before you run out of bullets) :) However, when you do run out, all you need to do is to send LinkedIn Customer Support linkedin_support@cs.linkedin.com a request to increase your invitations which they would often do by giving you something like 50 (with the restriction of not requesting any more for another 30 days then you can just request again and they will give you another 50 and so on). On the other hand, by following some of the tips that I have posted on my blog www.LinkedFans.net you can capitalize on improving the number of invites you can get by doing things like: • joining the large LION groups • announcing that you are a LION (LinkedIn Open Networker) by including the word LION in your profile headline • announce your interest in connecting with others and invite others to connect with you through LI groups • You can also add yourself to that list when you subscribe for a premium membership through OpenNetworker for $9.95/month or $49.95/year Best Regards, Ehab Elagaty www.LinkedIn.com/in/SAPNetWork
