Recommended Daily Limits
- 15-20 Direct Messages/day
- 30-40 Open InMails/day
- 10-15 connection requests/day

LinkedIn Warm-Up Protocol
When Needed
- Inactive accounts
- New accounts
- Accounts returning from restriction
Process
Days 1-10:
- 60 interactions/day maximum
- Only manual activity (no automation)
- Mix of views, likes, comments
- Focus on genuine engagement
Days 11-20:
- Gradually increase to 80/day
- Start light connection requests (5-10/day)
- Continue manual engagement
Days 21+:
- Gradual increase to full limits
- Introduce automation carefully
- Monitor for warnings
Red Flags to Avoid
- Sudden activity spikes - Gradual increase only
- Same message to everyone - Vary your copy
- Connecting outside work hours - Stay within 9 AM - 6 PM
- Weekend activity - Weekdays only
- Automation too early - Manual first 2-3 weeks
Account Health Indicators
| Indicator | Healthy | Warning | Danger |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection acceptance | >30% | 15-30% | <15% |
| Message response | >10% | 5-10% | <5% |
| Profile views | Stable | Declining | Blocked |
| Pending connections | <500 | 500-700 | >700 |
Recovery from Restriction
- Stop all automation immediately
- Manual activity only for 2 weeks
- Respond to existing conversations
- Post valuable content
- Engage with others' content
- Slowly reintroduce outreach
