# InMail Usage

For what do YOU use InMail?  It seems like a great feature, but I´m just not sure how to fully utilize it.

### Comment 1

I've only found recruiters contacting me via InMail, while others would rather connect with me first and then message (sometimes the other way around). It seems to be the easiest way (and free way) to connect people who are outside of your connection circle, though it's mostly job-hunters and recruiters using this functions.

Easiest way (though your cost per lead/opportunity will only get bigger) to reach out to someone you're not in touch with and present yourself or your services.

### Comment 3

My understanding is that InMail is a way to reach out to someone who is 2 or 3 removed from you, that you cannot message directly.  I've been contacted on InMail by recruiters, for the most part.
