Yes. I often get invites to join someone as a connection for which I have
no connection....but not often.
I find LinkedIn to be useful in locating people who might hire someone I'm
working with. Sometimes they send me a note about an article that actually
is of interest, and one can write articles to post on their site (obviously
promoting one's expertise.)
People who have a need for your expertise may be trying to reach you for
business needs, but can't unless there is a connection.
I did quit LinkedIn once...to delete two entries; the one I set up and had
for several years, and the one LinkedIn had made for me wherein I had
connections in both although not the same. I rejoined; starting over with
one entry. I did lose several important endorsements from people I've
helped however. Most of the time it just sits there and I delete most
everything sent from Linkedin.
