Hi Sandyford and welcome to Boards.ie ! Let me find a better place for your question

You can find out about the different account types here

Personally I think that unless you're a senior business person the free account will work just fine. It's a business-oriented social networking site (Facebook for Professionals) where you can vouch for people who you 'trust'.

I just use it to keep in contact with ex-colleagues.

Definitely don't need a premium account imho.

Wrote up a guide to it here recently: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055818600&highlight=linkedin
