How much do LinkedIn influencers earn?

How much do LinkedIn influencers earn?- Grapevine

Hey Folks,
Wishing you all a very happy new year in advance.
I require some guidance, so thought of asking it here.

My main goal for 2024 is to become a ‘modern’ LinkedIn / Social Media Influencer. Once I have achieved enough following, my next goal is to sell my ( overpriced and already available gyaan ) courses to people who are into tech industry. 

This would ensure , I have enough leeway and funds in case I want to start my own startup.

Now, I have the course ready already , I just need to click the submit button to publish on Udemy. But even if I do that no one is going to purchase my course because right now , I ain’t popular. 

Any advice on how should I approach this ? How do I go around selling my courses and also simultaneously become the next big influencer on LinkedIn?

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Have come across many YT influencers cum freelancers cum podcasters - barely out of college but claiming to earn in crores. Not sure how true that is but if so, I do feel inferior though I am at a high paying job. Their constant show off makes it worse - one guy claimed in front of Bikchandani that he made 35L/month

What are charges for each promotional posts by Indian tech influencers on linkedin??? Name, charges

Founder

I am a fresher 2023 graduate and have been doing this (applying for jobs) for almost a year, everyone said you have to do internships as it is necessary so did 2 internships one for a year and another for 6 months but apparently no one counts internships as experience even jobs that had 1-3 yoe as requirement and now everyone's hiring 2024 grads as freshers (I tried to look for another internship but there were none during the time of placements).

I am now tired of this field, many full stack devs don't know shit outside Javascript world and many of them can't even use tools like git properly and are so cocky of themselves. 

Saw an SDE on twitter who apparently has 6 years of experience, doesn't even know how to configure multiple SSH and says managing multiple ssh is a downside. A women dev (cause in India you have engineers and female engineers apparently) doesn't know about sidebar cache and calls it a bug and she's in google. and If I try to roast these people with my real name there's a whole cabal of Banglorians who will grab their macbooks inside third wave coffee and start tweeting against me after aggressively drinking their Chocolate mocha frappe.

Just go into any random tech twitter space no one seems to be talking about tech it's always about DSA, interviews, LIFE IN BANGLORE, which cafe they visited.

I let myself believe tech was my passion and worked hard  for but Indian techies and companies are worst, this generation thinks they are better than their predecessor but follow the same politics everywhere even when it comes to Tech communities (who tf does politics in a community that produces open source code wtf).

They talk about networking and creating a community all the time but can't even respond to linkedin cold dm and blame the sender by nitpicking about the format 👏👏 and then they'll go on post the screenshot and rant how it's the sender fault to even try to network with them with a message that isn't written from their own blood.

Tech rant

Bangalore tech scene is weird man. I feel even the auto driver knows how to code and the third wave barista is definitely doing leetcode because that coffee & sandwich clearly don't take 15 minutes to make

Just curious I wanted to know the underlying reason for this business decision, like it can be taken to keep the size of the underlying graph db in limits.

Why does LinkedIn have a 30k connection limit

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have doing a lot research on these D2C brands , these brands are burning VC cash in ads and influncer marketing. 

And what just for topline !!

When will the focus or plan to focus on bottomline !!


Are these guys playing for valuation game or they really want to build profitable business out of it ??

Please correct me if i m wrong , also paying influncers butt load money wothout knowing the ROI , i think influncer marketing is a bubble which is yet to burst and the next phase is influencer led sales !!!

Why brands spend too much on topline ?

Program Manager

Do influencers really earn a lot?
Do you know any influencer who is earning a lot and working in a full time job as well?
If being an influencer is easy and rewarding, why isn't everyone doing it?
Is it going to stay for long ?

External Audit

I get the idea of marketing yourself is the key factor here but do you think over all that just degrades the quality of content and makes a bad platform as any other ?

Do you think posting seductive content is valid on linkedin and get the high amount of reach out it

Social Media Manager

Have had a very difficult time negotiating with influencers on collab commercials. The rates quoted are unreal! 

Is there any math/logic to this? Please share your experience and tips/tricks

Not looking at top tier Tanmay Bhat types. Mid level YT influencers or podcast hosts

Also, does direct communication with them work better or are there trusted agencies that y’all used?

Hi folks,

I have freelanced on upwork earlier and maximum reached $20/hour in development gigs but got burned out by constant pressure of rebidding once the current project gets over. The profile is still 5 star rated but getting full time job through these freelancing platform require lots of marketing and bidding and it’s difficult with day job. However recently I have seem trend where there are some genuine folks such as harkirat who are upping the game by earning around 5 crore annually through posh remote jobs. Has anyone of you tried pursuing that route by reaching out to founders of early stage startups on twitter/linked in or used freelancing portals such as upwork to get full time gigs which pays more than $100k remotely. If yes please share some guidance.

Earning 5crore plus on remote jobs

I had this question open to all if they know any guy who has made the highest amount of money via managing influencers through brand deals.

What is the highest a brand manager of creator has ever earned? Is it more than 100 crores??

Brand Marketing Manager

Its just sad to see so many content creators(personal branding experts being the most of them) utilize linkedin to promote their instagram photos with a wall of text that is completely unrelated.

What the heck is happening with Linkedin?

Do you guys feel that all these years of hardwork, getting best education & hustle to get decent/top job is no way remunerative to what people on SM(insta/yt) influencers make by simply sharing their life/cooking videos/GRWM/nutritionists etc, which we audience consume mindlessly.

Does this change in career mindset going to make children opt out of higher education? I see a lot of people below 18yrs to have below average scientific mind.

Ofcourse, there are people in the same age group doing amazing stuff, building startups etc but an average kid seems lost in the digital space.

Mid life crisis?

I’m starting a new channel called Humans of LinkedIn, where I will talk about all the hardships faced by the Influencers and Top Voices on LinkedIn in getting customers for their Topmate or course pages. The idea is to help people build a brand for themselves so that they can sell their services to people who are in genuine need of help and/or mentorship. If you are helping people for free, that is not acceptable by us, because we believe people should only help people for money. 

P.S. We will only accept sob stories, and if you do not have a sob story, we will help you create one.

P.P.S. Out here for making money, so don’t expect us to publish your stories for free.

Growth And Strategy

In recent times, I've observed a concerning trend where numerous individuals, including some HR professionals, are posting job listings. Many of these posts require users to log in to their web apps, ostensibly to collect email addresses for advertising purposes and often demand an excessive amount of personal details. Unfortunately, a significant portion of these job openings never materialize, leaving job seekers frustrated. Moreover, HR professionals sometimes request comments like "yes" and "interested" without providing a direct link to apply, promising to "get back to you soon" but rarely doing so.

LinkedIn's feed also appears inundated with content geared towards gaining followers rather than delivering valuable insights. While there is a demand for followers, it often comes at the expense of substantial content. It's a situation that can be disheartening for those seeking genuine job opportunities and meaningful engagement on professional platforms.

Have you noticed this as well, or is it just me? I'd appreciate hearing your perspective on the matter.
