HOW TO DISCOVER LINKEDIN USERS NEARBY IN 2026
Before you learn how to find LinkedIn users nearby, let me tell you something you might find hard to admit:
LinkedIn is mugging you in broad daylight π« while you thank them for the privilege.
LinkedIn algorithm shows your “viral” content to roughly the same audience who’d notice if you screamed into your office Printer: Ryan from the marketing team who does not even know your name. π΅
You own nothing π€‘ on LinkedIn.
You’re renting followers from landlords who charge you extra just to talk to your audience.
It’s like building a mansion on rented land: expensive, temporary, and the landlord can bulldoze it whenever they update their “community guidelines”. π π₯
Meanwhile, LinkedIn execs are swimming in pools filled with your ad spend. πββοΈπ°
Your current situation:
β Zero follower data ownership πβ
β Organic reach = no-one watching! π΅οΈββοΈ
β Ad costs rising faster than your therapy bills ππ
β Followers “export” button? Pure fantasy π¦
The intervention your marketing needs:
β
Stop being LinkedInβs favourite ATM π§β
β
Own your audience π
β
Lower your customer acquisition costs π°
β
Build marketing systems that own and control π€β€οΈ
Throwing money at LinkedIn ads hoping for results is expensive self-harm with the worse ROI. π₯

Tip: Bluetooth should be on, on your phone and on the peopleβs phones you want to connect with.
Note: If it does not work, then LinkedIn for whatever reason has decided to turn off this feature. You can ask them to put back in by emailing Ryan Roslansky (LinkedIn CEO): r.roslansky@linkedin.com
Copy and paste the below message:
Hello Ryan,
I hope this message finds you well.
I wanted to inquire about the timeline for re-activating the “Discover members nearby” feature.
This feature has proven particularly valuable in facilitating connections with other LinkedIn users at events, conferences, trade shows, and similar gatherings.
Your insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and best regards,
[Your Name]

Conclusion
The “Find Nearby” option on LinkedIn? Gone. β¨π
Hereβs what you do, my savvy LinkedIn butterfly π¦:
Approach your new bestie (a.k.a. that professional genius standing 3 feet away from you) and ask them for their full name and company. ππββοΈ
Find them on LinkedIn (because letβs face it, weβre all kinda stalking there anyway, right?) and hit that βConnectβ button. π²
Let them know you’re coming for that connection! β‘
Send a sweet message like: βHey, I saw you, you saw me, letβs make this LinkedIn thing official.β ππ
But why go through all this effort?
Simple: LinkedIn connections are like professional gold! π°
They open doors to opportunities, secrets of the universe (or, you know, the best coffee shops in town β), and resources that can skyrocket your career or companyβs growth. π
The moral of the story?
Build those relationships, people!
Because in the world of LinkedIn, itβs all about who you know (and how well you stalk them). π΅οΈββοΈ
Final noteπ: Are your marketing costs through the roof? ππΈ
If your customer acquisition costs are climbing faster than a startup founderβs ego ππ (postβIPO champagne still in hand πΎ), and youβre hooked on paid ads like a reality TV star or a Tinder date who keeps accepting your dinner invites ππ· but never calls you back π΅πβ¦
