Passive income from your LinkedIn profile

Why a mid-career profile is the one clients want

The accounts that place easily are dull by internet standards: years old, a recognisable job title, connections built one at a time inside a single industry, no bought followers. That is what makes a first message get opened. A director at a manufacturing firm reads a note from another manufacturing person, not from a stranger with a stock photo.

Six factors set a rate: industry, seniority, account age and history, region, profile completeness, and commitment length. Connection count is the one most people over-weight. See why B2B companies pay for network access and how much your LinkedIn profile is worth.

The employer question, answered honestly

This is the part most sites skip. Access to your professional identity can sit badly with an employment contract in three ways. Check all three first.

• Outside commercial use of your identity. Some contracts restrict using your role, title or employer's name commercially. Your LinkedIn headline usually carries all three.
• Moonlighting and secondary employment. Many employers, particularly in IT services, require disclosure or written permission for any paid outside engagement.
• Non-solicitation and confidentiality. If a campaign targeted your employer's customers or prospects, you would be in a difficult position.

We cannot read your contract for you and we will not tell you it is fine. What we can make controllable is the third: your employer, its competitors and its named accounts go on your blocklist, written into the agreement rather than agreed verbally.

Is this for you?

How it works

1. Apply, free. Industry, network size, commitment length. No documents, no fee.
2. Human review and a quoted monthly fee. A specialist reviews your profile against client demand and sends one figure in USD, normally within three business days.
3. You approve each campaign. Target list and templates come to you first, and your blocklist is set on a 20-minute onboarding call.
4. Monthly payment. Same date each month, by PayPal, Wise, bank transfer or stablecoin, with an activity log. The first lands 30 days after launch.

What you keep control of

• Every target list and message template, approved before use
• The blocklist: your employer, its competitors, its customers, any industry
• Existing connections and colleagues, who are never contacted
• Your public presence: no posts, comments, reactions or profile edits
• Timing: pause any time, 30 days' notice after the three-month initial term

If we pause a campaign for reasons on our side, you are paid in full for that month — that is in the Terms, not just sales copy.

What to check before you apply

Read sections 4 and 5 of our Terms for what the risks are, stated plainly. LinkedIn's User Agreement requires that you do not permit another person to use your account. This arrangement is inconsistent with that, and LinkedIn may restrict, suspend or close an account it believes is shared, without warning. That risk stays with you.

Then check your employment contract, whether a restriction would damage anything you depend on, and your tax position — payments are income and nothing is withheld. Freelancing on the side? The freelancer page covers keeping campaigns clear of your pipeline, and multiple income streams without a side hustle weighs this against billable work.
