Does anyone know if there is a way around this? I think they cap you at 100 searches per month which is nothing if you're trying to network. I signed up for the premium trial and thought that would give me unlimited searches, but it turns out you need to have the upgraded plan of the premium version which is like $60 a month. Or am I just going to have to make like 10 accounts?

When I was networking I would run a company name on linked in then just scroll through the list without filtering any of the premium attributes until I got to a name/title that interested me. I then took screen shots into a file and moved to next. When I was done with that, I then googled each name to get as many details as possible. I refused to pay for premium so I had to do it the ghetto way. Otherwise pony up. Good luck man.
I feel like doing 100 LinkedIn searches a month for "networking" is a bit odd. Do you actually know these people? Have you spoken to any of them before?
Some are alumni, others are random people working in groups I'm interested in. Don't know any of them, that's why I need to cold email them.
ah, in that case, look for other ways outside of linkedin to get their names. Also, increase your count by asking for referrals from those contacts you actually have
Dude you're wasting your time. LinkedIn is garbage and while your experience might be different, a cold LinkedIn add is the worst plan of attack. If I don't know someone and they don't even bother to write an intro paragraph (which presumably you're not or you're hashing out some generic garbage) me and everyone else I know declines those 100% of the time. I had no idea LinkedIn had search caps and the fact that you're hitting them shows me you're the worst kind of networker.
No one gets a job through LinkedIn. You're better off with a more focused approach with emails / coffee meetings.
Only way around is the $59.99 a month premium or higher (even the lowest $29.99 premium has the cap). I ran into this problem for similar reasons.
The only way to skip the limit without paying the premium price is as follows:
Anyways, that's all I've got. I believe the method I listed can allow you to search more user profiles with a selected criteria without being hindered by the search limit you've reached. The method doesn't allow you to see every profile but a good amount of them. It's important to note that I don't know how long this option will last. Linkedin seems to be cracking down on free searches.
Hope this Helps
One other tidbit that I forgot to mention. You can still search on the mobile app even if you've reached the limit. For some reason it doesn't limit searches on the app.
^^ Just what I needed, thanks guys.
Had the same problem, here is the solution

HELP: Reached Linkedin Search Limit (Originally Posted: 10/13/2016)
For all the cheapskates out here, what do you guys do when this happens to you? (I've already used my free trial.)
I'm at a crisis....middle of the recruiting season, and I still haven't gotten a BB interview.
Are there alternative methods to gather email addresses? I am particularly looking to connect with people in S&T.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Create a fake L.I, with a fake email address that u actually know the login for, and then use the shell L.I to search until u run out of searches. The whole process should take 10 mins at the most, but entirely worth it
I would honestly just suggest premium for 30 bucks a month. It's not too steep and it's a worthy purchase in my opinion.
Can always cancel later.
Use LinkedIn X ray (link here: http://recruitmentgeek.com/tools/linkedin/). its like google search for linkedin
