There are lots of ways to keep up with people on LinkedIn.

00:00:03.340 --> 00:00:07.440
For example, you can send private messages to any of your connections.

00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:13.289
This can be really convenient because even if someone changes email addresses or goes to a new job,

00:00:13.420 --> 00:00:15.899
you can still easily get in touch with them

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.879
To access your messages, select the messaging icon at the top of the screen.

00:00:21.699 --> 00:00:28.529
From here, you can write a new message by clicking the new message icon or you can read through the messages in your Inbox.

00:00:29.380 --> 00:00:33.960
LinkedIn automatically sorts your messages into categories, like Unread or Spam.

00:00:34.450 --> 00:00:38.279
However, you could see all of your messages at the same time if you want.

00:00:39.980 --> 00:00:45.070
Another way to send a message to a connection is to simply visit their profile and click Message.

00:00:47.449 --> 00:00:50.928
But to send a message to a LinkedIn user who is not a connection,

00:00:50.928 --> 00:00:53.520
you have to send them an InMail message.

00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:56.620
To do that, you must have a premium account,

00:00:57.420 --> 00:01:01.820
and even then you're only allowed to send a limited number of InMail messages per month.

00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:09.380
No matter what kind of message you're sending, remember to keep all of your messages brief, clear, and professional.
