How do you communicate with people/hunters on Linkedin who can only be messaged after connecting?

Question

Recently I have tried to conenct with a few hunters for close guidance and advice on ideas but some are unreachable unless I have the premium version of Linkedin which can allow me to message them before having to connect. Any solutions??

Most hunters have a personal website with a contact form. I would advise you to check the product hunt profile of the hunter: which link is listed there: - if website contact them here - if twitter contacts them here - if LinkedIn contact them here (I would advise going for contact requests as having some hunter in your network can help you on the D-day) If you are looking for guidance about the launch, you can check out my action template .

You can include a short message when you connect with someone. I would try an make a short insightful message when you connect.

You can actually make this much easier with ChatGPT with the following prompt:

"Imagine you're a connecting with product hunters on linkedin and have to send a short message to get them interested in you, what would you say?"

Or you can have one already prepared, and replace "what would you say" with "I would say [input your message here], how would you change it to make it more convincing?"

Btw, the linkedin link in your bio does not work.
