How to Make Money with LinkedIn
Works on Medium, Twitter, and — wait for it — LinkedIn
Remember when Tim Denning said Bitclout was the next BIG THING that would bring a crazy amount of $$$ to all creators?
That was one year ago, and Tim stopped talking about it pretty fast.
One thing, in particular, made me say Tim never really believed in Bitclout: he never sold a bad-assery course for it. But he did for LinkedIn (and for Medium, and Amazon book publishing, and …)
That’s the number one way to make money with LinkedIn (also works with Twitter).
#1 — Sell courses about LinkedIn
For a successful business, you will need:
POWER WORDS
You don’t simply teach people to use LinkedIn and make the best out of the platform.
You teach them to
- WIN — Gary Vee will teach you “how to win on LinkedIn.” It’s a “massive opportunity.”
- BEAT — Some guy on YouTube.
- And DESTROY — Tom Kuegler is your guide.
If you’re too lazy to build a course or don’t have yet the clout in terms of followers, you can always scrape LinkedIn for content and repurpose it on Medium:
#2 — Make fun of LinkedIn contents
The rules of the game are simple. You need to spend time on LinkedIn and find the trashiest posts. Don’t underestimate the content section; it’s a source of gold.
Good news, the hard step is already behind you.
Now you only have to take some screenshots and paste them into an article. Add some comments and mockeries in line with mainstream thinking, and you’re good to go.
It’s almost guaranteed to work because we all like to make fun of dumb and cringe. And there’s a lot of that on LinkedIn.
Advantages of this method include increasing reading time with screenshots and not spending too much time yourself creating original content. If you want to learn this art from a master, check out these articles about sex workers and sexy-looking women by Salsa.
If you’re too lazy to build a course and too lazy to scrape content on LinkedIn, there’s always a third way:
#3 The Meta Way
To make money with LinkedIn you can write articles like this one, of course. There’s no such thing as a good meta article to make $ on any platform.
Some call it curation, but we all know copy-pasting would be a more accurate description.
What would be really funny is if all the links to LinkedIn courses above were affiliate links. It would be one more way to make money with LinkedIn!
Plot twist, they’re not (but this referral link to Medium is).
